BiS List for Arms Warrior

This list contains the highest DPS setup from most sources for Arms Warrior.

In most non-tier slots, a 486 iLvl Craft 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.

489 iLvl Great Vault items from Mythic+ are not listed here, as they are not targetable due to the RNG nature of the Vault. Mythic+ items are instead included at their maximum upgradeable Item Level of 483.

"Simming" Yourself as a Arms Warrior

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.

4.

Tier Set for Arms Warrior

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Onyx Crucible moniker. Unique DPS bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2 and 4 pieces from the set:

  1. 2 pieces: Rend Icon Rend damage increased by 30% and Sudden Death Icon Sudden Death can be triggered by Rend's bleed damage.
  2. 4 pieces: Sudden Death Icon Sudden Death also makes your next Execute Icon Execute powerfully slam the ground, causing a Thunder Clap Icon Thunder Clap that deals 100% increased damage. In addition, the Execute target bleeds for 50% of Execute's damage over 5 sec. If this bleed is reapplied, remaining damage is added to the new bleed.

The Arms Warrior tier set from Amirdrassil is deceptively strong, as it results in very frequent Sudden Death casts that trigger a plethora of effects. Although the direct damage of Execute is not particularly high, each cast also triggers Executioner's Precision, Juggernaut, an extra 50% damage bleed, a double damage Thunder Clap, and applies Rend, which is also buffed by 30%.

5.

Best Crafted Items for Arms Warrior

With Crafted Items, you can craft items with customizable stats in nearly all slots with up to iLvl 486. This means that for most non-tier slots, Crafted items are optimal.

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.

5.1.

Best Crafting Order for Arms Warrior

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 Icon Allied Wristguard of Companionship which has a built-in embellishment effect.
  2. Vibrant Wildercloth Shawl Icon Vibrant Wildercloth Shawl with the Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch Icon Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch embellishment effect.
  3. Elemental Lariat Icon Elemental Lariat with its built-in embellishment effect is an acceptable alternative for multi-target content such as Mythic+ dungeons.
  4. Signet of Titanic Insight Icon Signet of Titanic Insight with Alchemical Flavor Pocket Icon Alchemical Flavor Pocket for ideal stats and the quality of life improvement.
  5. From this point, we strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.
