Protection
Tier 1
If you’re wondering why anyone working on the Protection tree would take this wow gold talent, well so am I. Rarely is a tank build going to want to sacrifice any health, no matter how little, for rage points.
However, if you want Last Stand, and you probably do, you’ll need to go through this first. So make the best of it - at least it makes you lose less health if you ever do need to hit Blood-rage for maybe a quick Shield Bash or last second Hamstring.
Rather than go for any increases on armor or other chances to help your defense, this talent goes straight to your Defense skill and increases that by 20. The Defense skill also increases the chance to block, dodge, and parry and reduces the chance of getting hit and critted. The talent is useful especially for tanking warriors.
This isn’t crucial to a tank build, but I’d go ahead and take it just the same if you have the points. Increasing all your damage from one-handed weapons by 10%, period, is just too good to pass up most of the time. And besides, if your enemies are dead, it’s that much easier to play a tank, right?
This is not necessary but additional damage absorption by shield will keep you alive longer in PVE, raid bosses. For other purposes this is optional.
