Prot Warrior Best In Slot
1 (pre-raid) 2 (pre-raid) 2 3 4 5 6 CLASS. A Classic World of Warcraft 1.12 guide by Skarm. This guide will help Warrior tanks achieve their Pre-Raid Best in Slot pieces in Classic WoW. Recommended enhants for each slot varies depending on play-style, role (MT, OT), speed of weapon, content being done etc but here is what I recommend in each slot: Head: - 100hp (Libram of Constitution) - 1% Dodge (Libram of Protection) Shoulders: - 5 all resistances (Require Argent Dawn exalted) - 5 Fire resistance Cloak. Here is the list of BiS resistance item per slot I made a few years ago while playing on another server. This list is meant mainly for protection warriors, altohugh it can be usefull to any plate user. This lists consists of BiS items for each slot. Ease of obtainability of these items wasn't. Best Protection Warrior Weapons There’s nothing new for Protection Warriors in Shadowlands in terms of weapon selection. You use 1-handed Strength weapons and shields. Just wear the highest item level weapon and shield you have. Engorged Worm Smasher is the best-itemized weapon available from Mythic dungeons. It comes from Necrotic Wake.

On to spec'ing!
Arms build:(25/5/0)
Switch sword spec for whichever weapon you're going to use obviously.
Grab a 2 hander and go smack people. Keep Rend up for Taste for Blood.
Fury Build:(0/30/0)
Can move the points in Precision to another talent if you don't plan on DW'ing.
Not much else to say here, moving on to gear.
Gear:
Head slot. Enchant - 8 Agi, 8Str, or 100 HP.
Raging Berserker's Helm
This is pretty much the bost item for your head slot and easily obtainable to boot.
Expert Goldminer's Helmet
Much harder to obtain but you get expertise. 2.8595 reduced chance to be dodged/parried I believe.
However you lose a significant amount of AP and crit.
Shoulder slot.
Skeletal Shoulders
Same as Herod's shoulders except they look worse and have 3 more armor.
Herod's Shoulder
A solid pair of shoulders, nice stam, some sta and armor.
Fleshhide Shoulders
100 less armor and 1 less str than Herod's but 6 agi in place.
Revelosh's Spauldersof the Bear or Monkey
Nice amount of sta on these, I'd take Fleshhide over these though.
Flintrock Shoulders
Not all that great in my opinion, offers less stam than your other options but more agi.
Back slot. Enchant - 12 Agi.
Scorpashi Cape
Get it. Use it. Love it.
Battlehard Cape
Horde only. Not bad if you cant find a Scorpashi Cape.
Darktide Cape
Again, alterative if you cant get a Scorpashi Cape. Doesnt look to bad either.
Chest slot. Enchant - 6 stats or 150 HP.
Blood-Tinged Armor
Horde only. Best chest for a 39 warrior.
Captain's Breastplate of the Bear/Monkey
Best option for alliance. Any other mail 12/12 armor will do too.
Waist slot.
Ogron's Sash
More sta and agi than Boar Champion's but less AP.
Boar Champion's Belt
Nice amount of str and some sta. Both belts are about the same, use whichever one works best for you.
Wrist slot. Enchant - 12 Str.
Crushridge Bindings
Either of these bracers will do, take Revelosh's if you're lacking crit.
Revelosh's Armguards of the Monkey
More sta than Crushridge and 8-9 Agi instead of 5 str.
Glove slot. Enchant - 15 Str/Agi
Gloves of Holy Might
Best gloves you can get. Grab these when ya see em.
Gauntlets of Divinity
No crit but more AP than Gloves of Holy Might as well as some sta.
Shadowskin Gloves
1 less sta than the gauntlets and crit instead of AP.
Leg slot. Enchant - Nethercobra or Nethercleft Leg armor.
Legguards of the Vault
Best legs you can get but you dont see em a whole lot on the AH and could take forever to farm em.
Basilisk Hide Pants
Nice agi on these, a good alternative to the ones above.
Ancient Legguards of the Monkey/Bear (+12/+12)
Not a bad option though I would prefer Enduring Breeches over these.
Enduring Breeches
Nicely itemized for us in my opinion.
Feet slot. Enchant - Boar's Speed or Cat's Swiftness.(7 Sta for lvl 28 boots)
Worn Running Boots
Horde only. Best stats and you're able to put the TBC enchants on these.
Highlander's/Defiler's Mail Greaves
Still have decent stats at 39 but you're unable to put TBC enchants on these.
Ironheel Boots
Alli only. Quested and TBC enchantable.
Ring slots.
Aquamarine Signet of the Bear/Monkey.
Best ring you can get but you can only have one even if they are different suffixes.
Legionnaire's/Protector's Band
This should be in your second ring slot.
Truesilver Commander's Ring
If you're saving marks for a tabard or something else this will hold you over till WSG ring.
Neck slot.
Medal of Courage
Nice amount of AP and stam. Questable by both factions.
Scout's/Sentinel's Medallion
Another solid option for a neck pice.
Trinket slots.
Arena Grandmaster
Best twink trinket, hands down. Not all that easy to get though and takes some time.
Insignia of the Horde/Alliance
This should be your second trinket unless you are a human. You can switch this out while it's on CD though.
Mark of the Chosen
Nice litle stat boost, low chance though.
Philosopher's Stone
Another option. +5 all stats.
Black Pearl Panther
JC only. 90 AP on use, 5 min CD.
Golden Hare
Another JC only. Increased run speed(removes the need for speed increase on boots) and run speed/snare prevention use. 20 min CD.
Tidal Charm
3 sec stun on use. Nice for catching casters and EFC. 15 min CD.
Rune of Duty
Another option with decent passive bonuses.
2 Handers. Enchant - Crusader, Savagery, or 35 agil.
Nightblade
The only advantage here is the DPS of the weapon.
Pendulum of Doom
A very slow axe, very nice. Alot of people will pay ALOT of money for this though.
Be prepared to pay for a good portion of someone's epic flyer to get this, or use another weapon. =P
Bonebiter
Alli only. Nice stats, slower than other options here.
X'caliboar
Alternative to Nightblade. Almost the same median dmg but better stats and slower.
Lumbering Ogre Axe
Very slow green axe. A good alternative to Pendulum of Doom.
Whirlwind Weapons
Axe is decent though not as good as other options.
Mace is good if you're set on going mace spec.
Sword however, is same speed as Nightblade so there's not really any advantage there.
One Handers. Enchant - Crusader MH. Potency or Mongoose OH.
Vanquisher's Sword
28 AP, pretty much same DPS/speed as SM quest reward swords.
Sword of Serenity/Omen
Serenity(Alli only) has a good amount of stam.
Omen(Horde only) faster than most other swords, nice stats. Either of these could replace Vanquisher's/Dazzling.
Dazzling Longsword
Fast sword, decent proc. Good OH.
Legionnaire's/Protector's Sword
Nice MH sword. Slow with high median dmg.
Stonevault Bonebreaker
Very nice maces. If you feel like DW'ing and going mace spec these would be the way to go.
Ranged.
Monolithic Bow
Best stats, get one when you can.
Outrider's/Outrunner's Bow
some Agi/sta. Decent alternative.
The Silencer
Another alternitive if you want AP instead.
Shield. Enchant - 18 Stam.
Aegis of the Scarlet Commander
It's the best shield for the bracket and drops in SM. No reason you shouldnt be able to get it.
Glyphs!
At level 39 you have 2 Major and 1 Minor Glyph slots open.
Minor:
Glyph of Charge
This is the only glyph I could see being of help to you.
Major:
Glyph of Hamstring
Basically Imp. Spamstring in glyph form. Dont leave home without it.
Glyph of Overpower
I'd take this as fury cause between dodges and Taste for Blood procs OP will probably be on CD already.
Glyph of Execution
Alternatively I'd take this as arms due to the above statement.
Consumables:
Weapon buffs - Dense Sharpening Stones and/or Frost Oil
Battle Elixir - Elixir of Giants or Elixir of Greater Agility
Guardian Elixir - Gift of Arthas or Elixir of Greater Defense
Buff food - Rumsey Rum Black Label
Potions - Superior Healing Potions and Swiftness Potions
Professions:
Alchemy
Alch gives you access to Philosopher's stone as well as 'Mixology' giving you an added bonus when you use elixirs that you can make.
Jewelcrafting
You can make the Black Pearl Panther and Golden Hare with JC, with are both nice trinkets.
Engineering
Gives you some gizmos and gadgets but most importantly, explosives.
Herbing, Skinning, and Mining
Gathering professions all have no level requirement again as of 3.0.3 and each has a nice bonus. The following bonuses are for level 375.
Herbing gives a 1200 self HoT.
Mining gives a 300 bonus to HP.
Skinning gives 15 crit rating.
