Stat Priority for Arms Warriors in PvP

The stat priority for Arms Warriors in PvP is as follows:

  1. Strength;
  2. Versatility;
  3. Haste=Mastery;
  4. Critical Strike

Critical strike is what gives value to Impale Icon Impale, Sharpened Blades Icon Sharpened Blades and Cruel Strikes Icon Cruel Strikes, while both critical strike and haste benefit Anger Management Icon Anger Management, because of Seasoned Soldier Icon Seasoned Soldier.

Despite the above beneficial talents, Critical Strike makes for the least valuable stat, as you already gain a lot of the stat through talents, especially if you play with Warlord's Torment Icon Warlord's Torment
