Arms Warrior Complete PvE Guide [4.2] **PART 2**

[Badbrute92]

@fightclub101

Sweeping Strikes + Bladestorm do work.

Sweeping Strikes procs on melee attacks, not melee hits. Each spin of Bladestorm is considered 1 attack, so you get a total of 1 additional hit from Sweeping each spin, regardless of how many people that spin hits. It could hit 10 people, and you'd only get 1 additional Sweeping Strikes hit on 1 single person from that spin.

You should only use these 2 together however if they will not outlive bladestorm, it's better to use SS with cleave.

[Badbrute92]

If you decide to make a guide in 4.3, the only thing that will really change ( as of patch notes ) is the major glyph CS will apply and refresh sunder stacks, eliminating Heroic Throw's glyph for Cleave.

I think if you clean up some of those silly things you would get a lot more positive feedback and views.

Some form of adding text to screen whether it be annotations or not, would clear up your video a ton, making it easier to understand.

Just adding a little constructive criticism.

[Badbrute92]

11 - In part one, I'd recommend putting Inscribed Ember Topaz's as a viable option, Crit is a great secondary stat and in some circumstances ( for instance the tier 12 chest piece ) which is crit-hit with 2 yellow sockets, it's a bigger dps increase to put 2 inscribed ember topaz's instead of 2 bold inferno rubies.

12 - Part one seemed unclear - Reforge to mastery? reforge only to mastery if you are hit capped/exp capped and the item is for instance crit/haste.

[Badbrute92]

5 - Executioner is absolutely required

6 - Raiders should get field dressing over blitz

7 - Heroic Strike can be used safely at 60 rage, emphasize that

8 - The priority seems a little unclear in this video, if you are going to cover the non-stance dancing approach I would clean it up and emphasize it as it is the most important thing for dps output.

Shout>Charge>Rend>CS>MS>OP>Sla­m>HS(60+)

9 - Fury has better sustained aoe, where arms has great burst aoe

10 - You should probably mention BT procs

[Badbrute92]

I'm going to outline all the things that are WRONG with this guide - and I don't mean to put you down, but this is a guide and you should intend to fix these stupid mistakes.

1 - NO SECOND WIND - either get Drums of War or Tactical Mastery

2 - Stance dancing is not required, but it is still a dps increase

3 - Booming Voice is good for fury b/c it fills gaps in rotations, it is still not a viable choice for arms

4 - Rude Interruption should be avoided for raiding - It's still good in dungeons

[damunowow]

Dude, why is stance dancing not required in pve?.... It still gives a dmg bonus.

[Zzeus296]

I do 14k-14.5k dps with arms and i got 361 arms pre good

[1oClockNightmare]

What addon is that that shows all your damage and stuff around your character? Please reply fast I can't find it anywhere >.<

[zZDrelixZz]

the dps is fine but i does like 23.5k dps as titan gripped spec lol?

[MrBrandonawesome15]

Let me make YOU a video... you kinda need a lil help.

[Ingekwow]

hey, nice video! few things. Is there any reason why you're not choosing tactical mastery and stance dancing? You do 10% additional damage in berserker stance while battle stance only gives 5% damage, so everything except overpower should still be cast in berserker. Executioner gives more dps than booming voice, you dont really have free CD's to cast battle shout as arms, its quite a big dps loss (at least without t12 2set bonus). Also be sure to use mortal strike every cd!

[MegaOmgwaffles]

This video actually helped me raise my dps by 2.5k so thumbs up any way!

[AllanSkater93]

You can actually make a macro like this

#showtooltip Heroic Strike

/cast Overpower

/cast Heroic Strike

and for even more damage while in Bladestorm

#showtooltip Bladestorm

/cast Sweeping Strike

/cast trinket??

/cast Bladestorm

[fightclub101]

@AllanSkater93 sweeping strike doesnt grant you extra hits with blase storm

[zZDrelixZz]

@fightclub101 it actually does! watch fearnots sweeping strikes vid!

[AllanSkater93]

You can actually make a macro like this

#showtooltip Heroic Strike

/cast Overpower

/cast Heroic Strike

[xxwhiteoutxx]

Very helpful, aside from the haters, I'm sure we all appreciate your help. Keep up the good work buddy!

[Brekner]

you didn't take executioner? o_O

[crazysmashes]

Your video is fairly reasonable but on the dummy unbuffed i sit on a minimum of 19k dps @15mill damage......blood and thunder talent is much better than incite for raiding due to the fact for the rend aoe dps...blitz is a waste seeing you cant charge at close range. Though thumbs up for the video champ

[TheGulanga]

I believe that you undervalue +cit hugely.

"Wrecking Crew" gives you a 10% damage buff for 12 secs on your mortal strike crits. You want your mortal strikes to have at least 30% crits.

There is a tipping point in crit for Arms. It is at about 13,50% crit unbuffed (can't remember the number with Battle Shout).

Once you get over this number you will start seeing a big difference in dps.

Imo crit is way more important than mastery.

(Have a vid up from 4.1 on dummy)

[2235whatever]

bad bad warrior=/... i do 15-16k in pvp gear lolz.

[fatique101]

u should really get the 2 points in Executioner since the execution fase is where warriors dominate the dps and if u pick up 2 points in blood and thunder u will own fury warriors in aoe dps aswell :)

[OmniChips]

Goodman thank you.

[Slyraider100]

nice clicksbroooooo

[BBoyNguyenOne]

Thanks for the vid! I've quit my warrior and I hope when I get back on him I do your dps. I don't have all BiS gear but my gear is alright. I can't do any higher than 14k on the dummy and 16k in raids.

[hinewai]

Thanks I've respeced from fury and giving this a shot - nice clear video.

Thanks I've respecced from fury and giving this a shot - nice clear video.

[Nosiop6945]

Why do you have Blitz and not Executioner??

[Zerogamer22]

Dont listen to the haters m8, your guide is pretty good. And easy to learn. Thumbs up. :)

[poingpoing11]

Rend>Colosuss>Overpower>Mortal­ strike>Execute>Slam>Heroic strike

[jrkiing890]

I find opening a fight with Rend>CS>MS>OP>OP and slamming as a filler more dps. Once again not to sound like an eliteist but I can pull about 16k and i'm a little less geared than you. Shattering throw is a dps loss but it's a great raid tool, using it during a BL/TW phase is better than using when you suggested. Anyway. nothing much I can suggest for you GL & HF :D

[iShone94]

Ty for this video guide it helped me alot :)))

[randoms666]

thanks you helped improve my dps a lot

[10packattack]

Great guide



[TheSkillspaythebills]

Dude... Your rotation Suck... My gear is not as good as yours but my dps is around 12-13-14 k at that training Dummy... Not trust me? Leave a comment or thumbs up if someone want an video...

[Shiokid]

@TheSkillspaythebills Well if no one else DOES thumbs up this or comment to it, I WOULD like to see this. Because as long as people can put their money where their mouth is I'm good with that. If not, never return to my fucking videos.

[makexxwar]

@Shiokid That kid is totally trolling to try to get views on his page. I've looked into quite a few arms warrior vids, and they all basically follow what you're doing. Although, I think this video was slightly better than the others I've seen since you you go a little into aoe.

[TheSkillspaythebills]

@Shiokid Okay ill make that video now

[thostus]

@TheSkillspaythebills 12k-14k is fucking horrible horrible dps lol.

[DynastytL]

also do you use macros? or just a rotation? and what are the addons you use? pls and thank you message me the macros/ addons thank you again

[DynastytL]

thank you so much im really new to wow and i didnt know how to play as a warrior way different then MW2 & blackops and i believe you saved me from leaving wow thank you

[MasterSoO]

im begin to play wow for 1 month and currently play arms....your vid realy help me to improve my dps...would you mind to show me your item set? so i can buy them same as you >"<

cheers

[MrNOTMAKINVIDS]

swifty found out that sweeping strikes bladestrom doesnt work more:/

[hockeysaint23]

@MrNOTMAKINVIDS Still works for me.. skada and recount still track it.

[TRIPLE123sss]

I have an 85 NE arms warrior and ive got close to the same build to you and rotation and i will be adding in the colossus smash glyph to replace my thunderstomp one, but my dps is barely holding 10k on a dummy and im fully keybound ive got full ZG/ZA armor plus some peaces of t 11 and a necklace and cloak from firelands im hit and expertise capped, idk whats wrong but i think i will be switching to fury

look me up Cadros@ arathor US

[Shiokid]

@TRIPLE123sss Well a notable reason for the lower dps MAY be due to the fact that self buffed you won't notice a huge dps benefit whereas raid buffed it would be substantially better. Also your Trinkets play a large role in DPS I would advise Getting License To Slay, and Fury Of Angerforge OR Heart Of Rage. I hope this helps a bit. Also I would make sure you are fully enchanted.

[MrWickedknight]

@Shiokid you have really helped me i can do a constant 19k in firelands and i love arms compare to fury thanks much

[MrGkid5000]

@Shiokid Can you do a vid with you and a fury warrior competing with each other or something I wanna see your tactics in real work.
