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

*NOTE* In some sections of the video the vocal tracking seemed to bubble and it sounds like I am hurp durping so please look past that thanks! (:

In this video I will show you any, and everything I know about an Arms Warrior in Cataclysm; Patch 4.2. I will go over Reforging and stat priorities, Gemming and Enchants, basic Spec and Glyphs and lastly the Arms rotation / priority system. This video has been made as a resource to use as you level, learn to raid, or gear your warrior. This is by no means the ULTIMATE 100% guide I understand that there could be flaws in any section of the video but I feel I have a solid knowledge of the Arms Warrior and this is my PvE raiding guide.

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.

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.

@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

@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.

[1oClockNightmare]
