Remix: Legion Guide for Arms Warrior
Welcome to our Legion Remix Guide for Arms Warrior! Here we will cover everything you need to know about getting the most out of your Arms Warrior in the Patch 11.2.5 special feature, Legion: Remix.
This page is entirely dedicated to playing Arms Warrior in the new event. If you want to know more about Legion Remix in general, for example how it works and what rewards you can earn, you can check out our dedicated Legion Remix page!
Which Artifact Path to Pick as Arms Warrior?
In Legion Remix, you will invest your Infinite Power into one of five artifact
paths. Each path grants a special active ability plus a set of passive bonuses that
boost damage, healing, or survivability. Below are a few good options for various
your playstyles — though experimenting with themes, visuals, and builds is part
of the fun. You can respec at any time, so just choose what feels right for you!
For single-target: Fel has the best raw damage oriented bonuses. If you are struggling with survivability, such as playing in the Heroic World Tier, then consider trying the Nature or Arcane trees for a more balanced approach between offensive and defensive capabilities.
For AoE: Storm should be the default pick just for the AoE output it provides. Arcane may also be a fun choice, with a little more skill expression involved.
The different paths also interact with each other. For example, the Arcane and Storm gain damage by attacking enemies affected by Fel Touched from Fel. Such small interactions encourage players to check what their teammates are playing just to ensure that you get the most from and for your allies!
Holy is not suggested due being more focused on supporting allies, though a clever player may still find interesting ways to take advantage of its specialized bonuses.
Best Legion Remix Leveling Talents for Arms Warrior
Here are our suggested leveling builds and talents for Arms Warrior in Legion Remix. Depending on whether you mainly quest, dungeon‑run, or mix both, you may want to tweak things, so we have included builds for all playstyles.

Best Legion Remix Leveling Build for Arms Warrior
Leveling and Open World Build
This tree is built for leveling, open world, and Mythic+ content, with an emphasis on multitarget and AoE capabilities, allowing you to pull quickly and move between objectives without slowing down!
Dedicated Mythic+ Build
Once you get to the point of doing dedicated Mythic+ content, this build will serve a little better by focusing more on raw multitarget damage.
The multitarget Colossus build significantly increases the damage
of
Cleave, though
Mortal Strike also continues to be used in
order to quickly refresh the cooldown on
Demolish. Because of this,
Execute is rarely used.
Flexible Talents
While the recommended build may be used without changes, there is a small amount of room for customization and personal personal preference:
- Either
Second Wind or
Bounding Stride may be dropped for more customization, though eight points must still be spent in the first tier of talents.
Overwhelming Rage is not strictly necessary, as Arms very rarely Rage starves or caps resources, resulting in little damage value.
- Due to its low value in small group content, the recommended build drops
Rallying Cry in favor of
Rumbling Earth, which will often prevent more damage by controlling enemies better.
Intimidating Shout may be taken for increased crowd control, though the low cooldown on Shockwave already covers the majority of use cases.
Fast Footwork and
Intervene both add a small amount of increased mobility, though not generally as much as
Bounding Stride.
Honed Reflexes reduces the cooldown of several useful abilities, though by such a small amount that it is difficult to assign a practical value. However, it does lead to
Wrecking Throw, which can be used as a moderately powerful ranged damage filler.
Pain and Gain and
Bitter Immunity add a small amount of increased self-healing, though their returns are not particularly high.
Crackling Thunder may result in Thunder Clap hitting more targets, though it has a low direct damage contribution and still only applies Rend to a maximum of five targets, making it a deceptively weak talent.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Raid Build
Upon getting into raid content, this build will focus more on single target damage to take down bosses quickly, using Sweeping Strikes and Bladestorm to handle any AoE.
The single target Slayer raid build also provides a surprising
amount of multitarget capability through
Sweeping Strikes and
Bladestorm,
allowing it to cover most raid encounters.
Improved Sweeping Strikes can
also be taken on a case-by-case basis, provided the secondary target is active long enough.
Flexible Talents
The recommended build already takes every important offensive and defensive talent, so there is not much necessary customization, though there are a few points which may still be changed as desired:
Fast Footwork,
Intervene,
Second Wind, and
Pain and Gain are all interchangeable, so long as eight points are spent within the first tier of talents.
Honed Reflexes reduces the cooldown of several useful abilities, though by such a small amount that it is difficult to assign a practical value. However, it does lead to
Wrecking Throw, which is quite strong against absorption shields and can be used as a moderately powerful ranged damage filler.
Bitter Immunity may be taken as an extra on-demand heal, though the long cooldown prevents it from being very important when Impending Victory is so regularly available and the debuff removal is virtually never relevant in raid content.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
