Best Gems for Protection Warriors
You should aim to use gems that provide you with Haste, as that is ourmost valued secondary stat. The list below consists of gems that are all verygood for Protection Warriors.
You should use Culminating Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Crit effect, ideally Quick Ruby/ Quick Onyx/ Quick Sapphire/ Deadly Emerald. Fill in remaining sockets with Deadly Emerald.

Best Flask for Protection Warrior in The War Within
You should be drinking the Flask of Alchemical Chaos at all times.
4.
Best Potion for Protection Warrior in The War Within
Your stat potion should be Tempered Potion. Use these when you willdo the most damage with your abilities, likely during your cooldowns and/or Bloodlust/ Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned byAlchemists.
You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potions to use when atlow health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, theyare best used separately! You can also obtain Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned byAlchemists.
5.
Best Food for Protection Warrior in The War Within
You should be eating from a primary stat Feast at all times, either Feast of the Divine Day, Feast of the Midnight Masquerade, or Hearty Feast of the Midnight Masquerade.
If Feasts are not available, eat Outsider's Provisions, Beledar's Bounty, Jester's Board, or Empress' Farewell instead.
5.1.
Extra Consumables
In addition to Potions and Enchants mentioned above, we can also useWeapon Oils, which enhance our weapons even further.These are not permanent and need to be re-applied after an hour or two, so besure to get multiple.
- Algari Mana Oil for every content.
In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Runes toincrease your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
