In most non-tier slots, a 525 iLvl crafted item is only a minor downgrade from the best Mythic raid drops but can be acquired much easier, making them important progression pieces, particularly for items that drop from later raid bosses.

Throughout this page, we will regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.

While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets, this should not be a replacement for simming yourself, at least not if you want to minmax sub-1%!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Onyx Crucible moniker. In Season 4, it is a blend of the Season 1 tier set bonus and Season 2 appearance, with special damage enhancing bonuses unlocked by wearing two and four pieces of the set:

1. 2 pieces: Mortal Strike and Cleave damage damage increased by 15% and chance to critically strike increased by 10%.
2. 4 pieces: Mortal Strike, Cleave, and Execute critical strikes increase your damage and critical strike chance by 8% for 6 sec.

Although a largely passive bonus that is maintained simply by following the normal rotation, the Season 4 Arms Warrior tier set bonus is much stronger than it was in Season 1, thanks to a very large buff, making fully geared out Arms Warriors one of the stronger damage dealers in the Awakened Season.

In Season 4, players will be able to craft items with customizable stats and bonuses up to iLvl 525, making them only slightly worse than max upgraded pieces of gear from dungeons and raids. Players will ideally use two in order to maximize embellishments, though others can be used to plug holes wherever their normal gear is lacking.

If you want to learn more about the Crafting system in general and potentially craft your own items for less Gold, check out our dedicated page below.

This is our general recommendation for the best Crafting Order. It goes for Embellishments first, as they offer the largest increase per Spark, and then goes for powerful iLvl gains.

1. Allied Wristguard of Companionship has a built-in embellishment effect good for both single and multi-target, that is almost always maximized in group content.
2. Torc of Passed Time with Blue Silken Lining is the strongest theoretical option in both single and multi-target content, however its effect falls off very easily, making it a difficult embellishment to maximize, especially as players tend to use their cooldowns during periods of equally high incoming damage. It is, therefore, not generally recommended for players outside of deep farm or high-end parse chasing.
3. Primal Molten Sabatons or Primal Molten Greatbelt with the Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch embellishment effect is a basic embellishment that provides consistent single-target damage.
4. Elemental Lariat with its built-in embellishment effect can be an acceptable alternative for multi-target heavy content such as Mythic+ dungeons after achieving full sockets.
5. Signet of Titanic Insight with Alchemical Flavor Pocket is not one of the best pieces of gear for raw damage, but it offers a very quality of life improvement.
6. From this point, we strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.

These are generic simulations from Bloodmallet, giving you a rough overview of strong Arms Warrior Trinkets. It is not a replacement for simming yourself, but can still offer a quick overview.
