Is there a decent build viable for 2s?
What are you partnering with?
Honestly with 2’s you’re probably going to have a hard time against anything with a healer. You are going to need a partner with high pressure to compliment your burst ability.

Was gonna link my character. However forums keep ERROR 500 makes it hard to see builds. I use this one though.
Have this thread as well with links and discussions.
Stat wise I’d focus on Crit/Mastery. I enchant/gem Mastery. This will boost damage and mitigation.

Gonna try it out ty! Stay in battle stance or D?
Your welcome
Can play around with Class tree some but I love Shockwave when Avatar is up. Big Aoe stun and damage.
Always Battle stance. The penalty in D stance isn’t worth it. Also get 3% more Crit in B stance.
For PvP talents I forgot to add them but Moral Killer is a must for Demo. Thunderstruck, Tclap roots depending on comp. Helps partner to stay on target or kite away. Then Sword and Board for 30% crit for SS and Devastator.

To be clear, when in PvP the numbers get reversed. You do 20% less damage and take 10% less. Complete garbage.

Thanks for sharing this. I couldn’t find your previous Glad post and build, and now see where I was going wrong with my build.

How come prot warior is not good in RBGs?
Because DHs exist
DH’s haven’t been good in awhile. Most are Bears.
They are fine but not great FC’s. Prot is more about doing damage and control so they are better at base fights than other tanks by a large margin. Prot offers 20% dmg reduction for the team at a base fight, aoe stuns with big dmg and bleeds pressure. I’ve had over 20 mil dmg in RBGs on base fights. You do have some abilities that will still hit over 100k as well.
As for FC maps well all tanks in a bad spot atm but for Prot for some reason Dragon charge never has worked with the flag. No idea why 1 of their main PvP mobilities doesn’t work with the flag. If it did. This instantly would help in getting across the map or knocking people off effectively up top.
A Prot War in an RBG should be attacking bases with Team then floating and Solo attacking another base to cap and draw multiple players to try and stop them. They should only be on offense in base maps.
I mean I still see DHs running flags all the time. Sure bears are the meta pick, but DH is the second best option.
Guess to make my initial comment more accurate should have said “because bears and DHs exist”
Well 98.87% of RBG tanks in SL were Bears. DH hasn’t been good since BFA when they were a viable top option. Prot Pal was a niche 3rd option and could global a Bear if they ran brambles. (I played Prot Pal in BFA)
So Idk I don’t think DH anywhere close to Bear or much better than other Tanks. Is what I meant.
Outside of 2s and RBG, how do you feel they do in RSS?
Random guess, is your warrior named “Abombnation” by chance?
They are okay probably better than the other Tanks specs. Probably better in 3’s with the right comp. In 2’s Prot/Feral is where it’s at.
My buddy Memphisrains doing pretty good in RSS and the most skilled Prot Player there is really. Which is why he is now #1
Of course I’m forever and always Abomb. There is a link in that Glad stance thread to my main.
Ya know, I actually think I’ve read that Nov. 22nd thread you had before the Decemeber one now that I’ve looked at your links. I think that was the threat that first got me interested in checking out Prot Warrior!
That being said, I was so concerned trying to get my Enh. Shaman up that I didn’t put any effort into warrior, but now that I know I’m firmly very poor at PvP for the time being, I would like to try something fun, even if it isn’t as effective (I like Enh., but I grow weary of being bad and being face rolled). This is very helpful, especially the stats. I would not have expected Vers to be the bottom of priority.
Cool yea just unfortunate we been nerfed like 7 times since then. Otherwise we be in a great spot and competitive in Arena.
Cool. Well we aren’t abandoning Versa since Tanks are all pretty squishy now unfortunately taking 67% increased damage. It’s just there is an abundance on PvP gear and we need other stats to make builds work. So we should hit 30% Versa without much of a problem. So other gems, enchants should be for Crit for talent synergy or Mastery for attack power/damage so you can actually have pressure. Also bigger IP’s.
The big Mastery item is the Tier helm and has no Versa. Has like 500+ Mastery on it and some haste, so interested to see how much more damage we do with that or sockets with Mastery.
Thanks for information
