Arms Warrior PvP Best Arena Compositions — Midnight Season 1

Arms Warrior in 2v2 is all about applying unrelenting pressure and securing as much uptime on your target as you can. For this reason, they excel playing with healers that can stay high on Mana and apply pressure with you. There is no general guideline for whether you should focus on the DPS or the healer; it comes down to each individual match.

Arms Warrior focuses mainly on mitigating damage rather than healing it back as a Death Knight would, and for this reason, they scale greatly into dampening. Combined with the overall pressure of a Warrior, this often leads to the Warrior winning eventually through consistent damage output.

It is important to make use of cross CC, meaning you should try to time CC with your healer onto the enemy healer and DPS to not only stop their healing output but also stop them from disabling your damage output with abilities such as Disarm, Mortal Coil, Polymorph etc.

Mastering this strategy is key to closing out games, but you should not focus solely on it. After all, it can be equally good to stun an opponent out of line of sight of his teammate, or to ruin major cooldowns like Avenging Wrath.

Here is a list of the best team compositions currently for 2v2:

Similarly to 2v2, Arms Warriors' main role in 3v3 is to apply unrelenting pressure onto the enemy team. In 3v3, however, it is even more important to know how to play defensively, as you are dealing with 2 DPS opponents instead of 1.

In general, healers should not be hard focused unless they overextend into your range/healer. Or, if they have no trinket, they can be swapped to with a Storm Bolt. Some melee cleave compositions are an exception to this.

The playstyle and win conditions of Arms changes depending on what composition you are playing in 3v3.
