Talent Overview

  • More armor equals less damage taken, which in turn saves some extra mana from your healers.

Notes

  • Unlike some other defensive talents such as Deflection or Anticipation, this talent scales with your gear. For a well equipped end-game warrior tank, this talent's damage reduction would be equivalent to 4-5% extra dodge/parry, however it is more consistent since it applies to all physical damage taken. Higher physical damage reduction makes you require less healing by a small amount, but during 5-minute or longer boss fights in the instances, it quickly adds up and is making quite some difference.
  • Toughness's placement in the second-tier of the tree allows for easy access. It is quite essential for a high-level Protection Warrior tank.
