Consumables for Arms Warrior
Best Flasks and Potions for Arms
Phial of Tepid Versatility is best phial in all situations. While
others may be theoretically stronger, their downsides make them inappropriate
for the vast majority of situations.
Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power is the best combat potion,
used with other cooldowns, during Execute phases, or other periods in which
the target takes increased damage.
Howling Rune or
Buzzing Rune depending on your current stats.
Refreshing Healing Potion or
Healthstone should be used
for combat healing.
Best Food for Arms
You should eat from the Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak when possible,
and otherwise Critical Strike food (
Filet of Fangs or a variant featuring
Critical Strike such as
Revenge, Served Cold,
Feisty Fish Sticks,
or
Thousandbone Tongueslicer if more readily available).
Augment Runes for Arms
In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Draconic Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of the consumable
runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
The Onyx Annulet and Primordial Stone Gems
The Onyx Annulet is a new ring obtained within The Forgotten Reach in Patch 10.0.7, which can be socketed with three special Primordial Stone Gems, each of which offer a range of unique damage, healing, defensive, or utility effects. Unlike power progression systems of the past, it is designed as a catch-up mechanic available to all players in the current season, meant to be replaced shortly after the launch of Season 2 in Patch 10.1 rather than a major power system carried forward through an entire raid tier or Mythic Plus season of gameplay.
The ring's exact power and gems have yet to be fully explored, but most effects are single-target oriented. Consider using a high item level ring for heavy multitarget instead. We have a few guidelines for prioritizing gems in your Annulet. Remember that you can obtain multiple copies of each gem and so feel free to experiment with new combinations as you obtain them!
