Protection Warrior PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — 12.0.5

The stat priority for Protection Warriors in PvP is as follows:

1. Strength
2. Versatility
3. Haste = Mastery = Critical Strike

Your goal should be to be fully equipped in Conquest gear, and this patch's tier set Warrior Protection 12.0 Class Set 2pc and Warrior Protection 12.0 Class Set 4pc.

You will want to use tier pieces converted at the Catalyst:

1. Head: Night Ender's Tusks
2. Shoulders: Night Ender's Pauldrons
3. Legs: Night Ender's Chausses
4. Hands: Night Ender's Fists

You can craft up to two pieces of embellishment gear. However, these power increases are generally minor for Warrior, so they do not matter all that much. Look to craft a piece of gear with Darkmoon Sigil: Void (weapon only) or Devouring Banding, depending on gear preferences.

Note: It is important to wear two PvP trinkets. This will give you a boost to your primary stat and Stamina.

Galactic Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. Even Human players will want to pick up this item.

Galactic Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is the highest sustained damage increase trinket.

Galactic Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Critical Strike and provides a large increase to Strength. Works good when you wish to build for controlled burst.
