战士 Protection guide

How to play Protection in WoW: Forever: what to press, which stats to chase, the talent build level by level, and the gear and dungeons to aim for.

概览

Protection turns the warrior into a shield tank. Forever makes shield play much better: blocks, dodges and parries all give you Rage, so the more you get hit, the more you can do. Pick it if you want to lead dungeon groups and like a tank that gets stronger the harder the fight is.

Good at

  • Rage from blocks, dodges and parries
  • Thunder Clap works in Defensive Stance
  • Strong emergency button in Last Stand
  • Concussion Blow for an extra stun

Watch out for

  • Slow solo leveling
  • Holding many mobs takes practice
  • Needs a shield for most talents to work

How to play it

In order of priority for levels 20 to 30, on one target:

  1. Sunder ArmorYour main threat button on one target. Improved Sunder Armor makes it cheaper.
  2. RevengeUse it every time it is up. It is cheap, and Improved Revenge adds 20% damage.
  3. Shield BlockUse it often. Each block gives Rage with Shield Specialization.
  4. Concussion BlowStun the hardest hitter or stop a caster at level 30.
  5. Heroic StrikeSpend extra Rage here when one target is on you.
  6. TauntGet a mob back when it runs to a healer. It has a short cooldown in Forever.

Several targets

  1. Thunder ClapUse it first on packs. It hits up to 4 mobs and now works in Defensive Stance.
  2. Demoralizing ShoutLowers damage from the whole pack.
  3. CleaveRage dump on packs instead of Heroic Strike.

属性优先级

  1. 躲闪
  2. 招架
  3. 防御
  4. 耐力
  5. 格挡几率
  6. 命中
  7. 敏捷

This is the order ONN ranks gear by for Protection. Your weapon matters more than anything for melee.

小贴士

  • Charge first in Battle Stance, then swap to Defensive Stance. Baseline Tactical Mastery keeps 10 Rage when you swap.
  • Mark a kill order and Sunder the skull target, then tab to others with Thunder Clap and Revenge.
  • Keep Last Stand for when your healer is out of mana or stunned.
  • Taking hits is how you get Rage now, and armor no longer reduces Rage gained, so a heavy shield and armor never hurt your Rage.
  • Use Bloodrage before the pull for a head start on Rage.

Macros

Make a macro with /macro in game, paste the text, and drag it to your bar.
