Target ilvl 334 Updated: 2026-10-16
Mountain Thane drives this Protection Warrior best-in-slot page, built to a 334 item level target from what the top Mythic raid parses on WarcraftLogs actually wear, slot by slot, next to a separate Mythic+ column rather than any simulated output. Haste leads the raid secondary-stat split at 38.2%, ahead of critical strike at 32.1%, mastery at 17.9%, and versatility at 11.7%, the highest versatility share tracked on any page built this way. The neck sits at 51.8% usage for the Aqirbane Reliquary against the Sentinel's Vitriolic Chain's 13.9%, the smallest raid-column neck lead of this group. Eight of the tracked slots favour a different top pick in Mythic+ than the raid column does, more than on any comparable page. The off-hand shows one of the tighter races: the Venom-Slashed Scuteward edges the Spellbreaker's Rebuke 43.8% to 33.4%. The trinket slots lean on the Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique at 37.2% over the Voracious Heart of Ula'tek's 31.5%, while the main hand favours Aman'muso, Warlord's Vengeance, at 53.9% against the Jaw of the Shackled Goddess's 19.2%. Crafted gear still wins outright at feet (49.1%) and wrist (77.6%), and the ring slot points to the Altar of Fangs drop Band of the Amani Warlord at 26.9% over the Sickening Signet of Atroxus's 16.1%. The Venomous Abyss supplies nine of the tracked pieces, with Altar of Fangs contributing three, two crafted items, and one each from Temple of Sethraliss and Den of Nalorakk. With eight slots splitting between raid and Mythic+ picks, this page rewards checking your own dungeon runs rather than assuming the raid column is automatic, and versatility's unusually high 11.7% share is worth weighing against haste and crit when pieces are close in level. Off-hand, trinket, and ring are the three races worth scrutinising first, since none clears a 20 percentage point lead. Wrist and feet are safer locks, since crafted recipes clear 77.6% and 49.1% usage respectively. For the head, shoulder, chest, and legs rows, where the top pick shows no usage share of its own, compare item level against your current gear before assuming it is an automatic upgrade.

Tier Set Conversion

5 slots Click to expandCollapse

Tier pieces do not drop. Bosses drop a filler for the same slot; you convert it and the item level stays. Conversion keeps the filler's secondary stats — so picking a filler is really picking stats.

Fit = the filler's two secondaries' share in this spec's top-player stat split ÷ the top two stats' share; below 65% the addon does not count the converted piece as graduated.

Ordered by how often top players wear the tier piece in that slot — that is a pick rate, not item power. A 4-piece bonus only needs four of the five slots, so the lowest one can be skipped.
