What has changed
Patch 11.0.7 Changes
Patch 11.0.7 didn’t shake up anything for Prot Warrior unfortunately, although the patch has come with the introduction of a brand new zone! The Siren Isle is coming, and with that a new unique ring (Cyrce’s Circlet) with powerful effects.
Patch 11.0.5 Changes
Patch 11.0.5 was a pretty quiet one for Protection Warriors unfortunately. We received two minor changes, one of which being a nerf to Thunderous Roars damage: Thunderous Roar now deals reduced damage beyond 5 targets (was 8).
And the other change being a nice little icon update to Champion’s Spear.
