Stat Priority
Stat Breakdown
Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Arms Warrior PvP:
Hit Rating is the most critical stat - you need exactly 5% to avoid missing level 70 players. After that, prioritize Crit and Attack Power for rage generation and damage. You will also want to have Resilience on most slots for its defensive benefits.
Best in Slot Gear
Season 1 BiS combines Honor gear with key PvE pieces for hit rating. The 4-piece PvP set bonus reduces Intercept cooldown and is essential. Deep Thunder is mandatory - craft it ASAP.
Weapons
Enchants
Hit rating from Glyph of Ferocity and Surefooted boots is crucial to reach the 5% cap. Savagery on weapon provides solid attack power.
Weapon & Ring Enchants
Gems
Use Rigid gems in yellow sockets until you hit 5% hit, then switch to Smooth gems for crit. Inscribed orange gems in red sockets provide crit and strength. Meta gem is Swift Skyfire Diamond for attack power and run speed.
