Warrior Tank best in slot at level

The best gear for a level 30 Warrior in WoW Forever, slot by slot, with stats and sources for every item. Tank list: Stamina first, then Defense, Strength and Agility. Armor counts too: mail beats leather when the stats are close.

Itemization changed significantly in WoW Forever. We will update these lists as soon as we can better model the stats.

Lists up to date with build 70755 (November 3). Some items are yet to be found, so the lists will keep changing.
