Obviously, the main driving force for all adjustments this expansion comes from talents, and we will dive deeper into them a bit later. For now, let’s focus on the bigger picture.
What’s New for Arms Warrior in Dragonflight?
Warriors were one of the biggest benefactors from the talent tree redesign, picking up both Battle Stance and Defensive Stance on the general tree. Many popular Shadowlands legendaries were converted into talent points, offering a similar rotational feel to the spec. One of the biggest changes to damage profiles includes a greater emphasis on bleed damage, which includes Thunderous Roar, a new ability with enormous AoE damage potential.
There were also some other miscellaneous new additions, including Wrecking Throw, which is an ability that can be strong for stripping away potent shields against the likes of Warlocks or Mistweaver Monks.
Arms Warrior Playstyle in Dragonflight
At its core, Arms Warrior is still about maximizing pressure through uptime, while being highly disruptive with multiple utility options. This allows Arms Warrior to fit into multiple comps, and even excel in solo environments.
