Arms Warrior

Arms Warrior

Melee DPS

Quintessential brawler with a fairly straightforward rotation. Arms can deal a solid mix of sustained pressure and sometimes even high burst thanks to the Colossus Hero spec and is a good entry point for players looking to play melee DPS.

Escape Artist gives physical root removal off the GCD. Essential for uptime, especially with Blademaster's Torment no longer providing extra Bladestorm.

Hardiness reduces stun duration by 10% in PvP, making you less of a kill target. Blood Fury provides a flat primary stat boost for burst windows.

Stat Priority
Versatility > Haste > Mastery: Deep Wounds > Critical Strike

Versatility is your most important stat for PvP. It increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for survivability. Haste reduces the cooldown of Mortal Strike and increases your overall rotation speed. Mastery: Deep Wounds increases Deep Wounds damage, providing consistent pressure on targets. Critical Strike is the lowest priority as Arms relies more on consistent damage rather than burst crits.
