These buffs are clear attempts to shore up several of Protection Warrior's weaknesses in the current patch: subpar damage output, weakness to spell damage, and the major offensive downside of using Defensive Stance. Vanguard's increase to stamina increased to 35% (was 30%).Spell Reflection's damage reduction increased to 25% (was 20%).Defensive Stance's reduction to damage dealt reduced to 5% (was 10%).

Protection Warrior Changes in Patch 10.1.5 Protection Warrior Strengths and Weaknesses Protection Warrior is the perfect spec for players looking for a classic tanking feel. Protection Warriors are the spec that most fits into the archetypal “tank” role from other RPGs and tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons.

I’m active on Twitter, where I mostly talk WoW (and basketball), and I’m half of the team responsible for the YouTube channel WoW at Night, which focuses primarily on tank guides and previews. I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in Peak of Serenity and Skyhold (Monk and Warrior). During Mists of Pandaria, I saw an opportunity to begin writing guides, and I took it with the hopes of making myself a better tank and making the community into better tanks with me. This guide was written by Llarold! I’ve been tanking since Vanilla. This guide will help you master your Protection Warrior in all aspects of the game including raids and dungeons.
