Arms Warrior DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Dragonflight 10.2

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Arms Warrior, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

You should use Deadly Alexstraszite in all sockets, though many of the cheaper variants with Critical Strike as one of their two stats may also be viable. Be sure to simulate your character!

Phial of Tepid Versatility and Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage are the best phials in all situations, with the former adding more defensive value and the latter boasting higher damage. Choose between the two based on the situation, and remember that a dead DPS does not deal any.

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.

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).

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.

Through the new Emerald Dream Zone and its Dream Wardens Faction, you can also obtain the Dreambound Augment Rune, which is permanent!
