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 Icon 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!

Mixing Paths Instead of providing traditional stats, Rings and Amulets now give players ranks in one of the Artifact tree traits, even if it has not been normally unlocked. This allows players to mix and match bonuses, enabling cross-tree synergies in solo play and enhancing their other capabilities. For example, getting ranks in Touch of Malice Icon Touch of Malice is a huge bonus for players not invested in the Fel tree.

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 Build for Arms Warrior

Leveling and Open World Build Dedicated Mythic+ Build Raid Build
4.1.

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!

4.2.

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 Icon Cleave, though Mortal Strike Icon Mortal Strike also continues to be used in order to quickly refresh the cooldown on Demolish Icon Demolish. Because of this, Execute Icon Execute is rarely used.

4.3.

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 Icon Second Wind or Bounding Stride Icon Bounding Stride may be dropped for more customization, though eight points must still be spent in the first tier of talents.
  • Overwhelming Rage Icon 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 Icon Rallying Cry in favor of Rumbling Earth Icon Rumbling Earth, which will often prevent more damage by controlling enemies better.
  • Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout may be taken for increased crowd control, though the low cooldown on Shockwave already covers the majority of use cases.
  • Fast Footwork Icon Fast Footwork and Intervene Icon Intervene both add a small amount of increased mobility, though not generally as much as Bounding Stride Icon Bounding Stride.
  • Honed Reflexes Icon 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 Icon Wrecking Throw, which can be used as a moderately powerful ranged damage filler.
  • Pain and Gain Icon Pain and Gain and Bitter Immunity Icon Bitter Immunity add a small amount of increased self-healing, though their returns are not particularly high.
  • Crackling Thunder Icon 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.

4.3.

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 Icon Sweeping Strikes and Bladestorm Icon Bladestorm, allowing it to cover most raid encounters. Improved Sweeping Strikes Icon Improved Sweeping Strikes can also be taken on a case-by-case basis, provided the secondary target is active long enough.

4.4.

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 Icon Fast Footwork, Intervene Icon Intervene, Second Wind Icon Second Wind, and Pain and Gain Icon Pain and Gain are all interchangeable, so long as eight points are spent within the first tier of talents.
  • Honed Reflexes Icon 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 Icon Wrecking Throw, which is quite strong against absorption shields and can be used as a moderately powerful ranged damage filler.
  • Bitter Immunity Icon 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.
