Arms Warrior DPS Vault of the Incarnates Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.0.5
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Arms Warrior for each boss of the following raid: Vault of the Incarnates. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.0.5.
Introduction
Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Vault of the Incarnates. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Vault of the Incarnates guides.
On this page, you will find Arms Warrior specific information to deal with each boss in the Vault of the Incarnates raid.
This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Arms Warrior and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.
Disclaimer: These tips are based on the limited testing done
on the Dragonflight Beta. Encounters are subject to change; Blizzard may have reworked mechanics or abilities that you used to be able to
Spell Reflection may no longer be reflectable.
Arms Warriors are not very versatile in that they must specialize in single-target or multitarget capabilities, losing damage in one area to gain in another. As many encounters feature varying amounts of adds, each fight is a judgment call based on how many extra targets there are, how high of a priority they are, and how much extra multitarget damage the raid group needs. In most cases, Arms Warriors should prioritize single-target damage and allow others to deal with adds since that is where their greatest strengths lie. However, Arms still has AoE options available if desired.

Eranog
Talents
Eranog spawns several adds from pools each time Flamerift is cast,
but these are mostly burst down. Whether you prioritize a single target or
AoE build will depend on how long they live, as even taking
Bladestorm represents a major point investment.
Tips
You cannot use Heroic Leap to run through the fiery walls spawned by the Primal Flame.
For more information, please refer to our Eranog guide.
Terros
Talents
You should use the suggested single target build, but consider taking
Intervene to help with movement.
Tips
Terros is a simple DPS race with a lot of ground-targeted abilities to
dodge, so make liberal use of Heroic Leap,
Charge, and even
Intervene as necessary.
The damage from Awakened Earth and
Explosive Reaction can
be reflected, but doing so will not prevent debuffs.
For more information, please refer to our Terros guide.
The Primal Council
Talents
The four targets do not share health but must all die together, so prioritize the AoE build to cleave them effectively.
Tips
Frost Spike and
Lightning Bolt can be interrupted or spell
reflected if they happen to target you.
For more information, please refer to our The Primal Council guide.
Sennarth, the Cold Breath
Talents
There will periodically be a Frostbreath Arachnid add to cleave alongside the
boss and several Caustic Spiderling adds throughout the fight, so either
prioritize the AoE build, or consider dropping a point from
Bloodborne in the single target build for
Sweeping Strikes
and ignoring the smaller adds.
Tips
Nothing on this fight can be spell reflected, but it can still be used as a general damage reduction cooldown.
Heroic Leap and
Intervene can be used to counteract the
pull from
Gossamer Burst, while
Charge can help prevent the
knockback from
Repelling Burst.
Dathea, Ascended
Talents
Arms Warriors will be better off staying on the main platform and prioritizing boss damage, so use the single target build unless specifically assigned to deal with adds.
Tips
Raging Tempest can be spell reflected.
Heroic Leap is useful for mitigating unexpected knockbacks or
getting back to the main platform in case you miss the knockback.
For more information, please refer to our Dathea, Ascended guide.
Kurog Grimtotem
Talents
This is a single-target encounter, so prioritize the single-target build.
Tips
Nothing can be spell reflected, but it can still be used as a general damage reduction cooldown.
For more information, please refer to our Kurog Grimtotem guide.
Broodkeeper Diurna
Talents
This fight features constantly spawning adds that need to be controlled, so you can prioritize the AoE build.
Tips
Static Jolt can be spell reflected to prevent its stun.
For more information, please refer to our Broodkeeper Diurna guide.
Raszageth the Storm-Eater
Talents
TBD.
Tips
This boss was unavailable for testing on Beta. We will update this section once the boss has been experienced on live servers.
