Arms Warrior DPS Uldir Raid Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5

This page is not a complete raid guide for Uldir . It is a boss-by-boss breakdown of talent suggestions, Warrior specific optimizations, as well as other tips and tricks. Initially, this page will focus on Normal and Heroic mode, with Mythic optimizations added once the difficulty is released.

Arms Warriors are currently very competitive in both single and multitarget encounters, with an emphasis on two-target cleave and burst AoE, as well as powerful defensives and high mobility, which will help keep Arms Warriors in the fight longer than other melee.
