Gear is essential for your effectiveness as a Protection Warrior in World of Warcraft. You can earn your equipment from a variety of sources including raids, dungeons, PvE, PvP, and other content. However, only certain gear qualifies as Best-in-Slot (BiS), providing the ultimate boost to your defensive capabilities and survivability. To help you achieve peak tanking performance, we’ve prepared a specialized BiS list tailored specifically for Protection Warriors.

This guide exclusively covers gear, enchants, and gems optimized for Protection gameplay. We won’t address talents, rotations, or detailed stat priorities here. If you’re looking for BiS lists for other specializations or classes, be sure to explore our comprehensive class guides linked below.
