Protection Warrior Best in Slot — Classic, Phase 5 — Ahn'Qiraj
Phase 5 (Ahn'Qiraj, both Ruins/AQ20 and Temple/AQ40). Best in Slot from the Icy Veins WoW Classic Era Warrior Tank gear guide. Rings/Trinkets: the source lists 2-4 ranked options in one row (you equip two) — split here into two named slots, top pick in slot 1; combined source text kept for both. Classic Era predates gem sockets entirely (introduced in Cataclysm) — no gems section applies.
