From the laughed-at meme to a fun main tank in the endgame of WoW: Forever. Finally, it's worthwhile to invest deeply in the protection talent tree of the warrior.
In the Vanilla era, protection Warriors were regularly seen as main tanks in raids, but the meta completely changed with more experience and knowledge. In WoW Classic, this type of tank Warrior was not played by experienced players at all because the damage (and thus the generated threat) was simply too low.
Tanking Warriors instead often utilized as many Fury talents and offensive gear pieces as possible to boost their rage generation and deal almost as much damage as the damage dealers.

Consumables, World Buffs, and of course the healers had to compensate for the significantly worse defense… in dangerous moments or against bosses that hit hard, one would also switch to sword and shield and activate a protective cooldown.
However, in Forever, there are no World Buffs in raids, but completely new challenges. Furthermore, Blizzard has significantly strengthened the protection tree of Warriors, which positively impacts threat generation, damage, rage generation, and gameplay flow. Additionally, Warriors can now also use the tools Thunderclap and Charge in Defensive Stance.
With the strengthening of Vengeance and the new Enrage, Protection is becoming a solid option for the leveling phase and solo adventures. This should please the well-known streamer Maxim, who has embraced the protection playstyle in WoW Hardcore but ultimately failed just before reaching level 60: Sauercrowd lost “the best main tank of the guild” to a simple ghoul just before level 60
