Protection Warrior Best in Slot — MoP, Phase 2 — Throne of Thunder

Tank · Updated 2026-07-23 Spotted a mistake in this BiS list? Email bis@boostyou.ai and we'll look into it.

Phase 2 / Tier 15 (Throne of Thunder) reforge-optimized "Balanced" list from the Icy Veins MoP Classic Protection Warrior gear guide (anchor phase-3-and-4-balanced — Icy Veins numbers ToT as their Phase 3 & 4). No tier-set pieces appear in this table; Icy Veins' balanced profile favors standalone boss drops over the 5-piece set bonus for this spec. Enchants/gems reused from the mop-p3 (Siege of Orgrimmar) list — same items across MoP raid content.
