Arms Warrior PvP Guide — Midnight Season 1

The toolkit of warrior brings some unique benefits, that no other class in the game bring. One of your more fundamental team utilities, is your ability to Intervene incoming attacks, and deter a lot of incoming damage with Disarm, Safeguard, Duel and more.

However, even though Arms Warrior brings a lot of tools, they are mostly mediocre tools individually, giving you a jack-of-all-trades swiss army knife toolkit, adapt at dealing with most situations, but being the best at none of them.

Arms Warrior has decent mobility, the most out of the plate classes, but is very mediocre, if not slightly underperforming. Especially in comparison to other classes, who either compensate their lack of mobility with range (Retribution Paladin / Unholy Death Knight) or have vastly superior mobility (Havoc Demon Hunter / Windwalker Monk).

Arms Warrior has very strong defensive capability, between Die by the Sword, Spell Reflection, Defensive Stance, Ignore Pain and more, you have arguably the strongest damage mitigation toolkit in the game. Your primary weakness, is your low self healing, being very reliant on healers to stay at high health.

Arms Warrior is a serviceable melee specialization that is relatively simplistic. It has an easy to get into rotation with spenders ( Mortal Strike / Execute) and fillers ( Overpower / Slam) stringing together nicely.

You can see a see a lot of value from Arms Warrior while in the lower ratings, and will have plenty of room to improve and expand your skill as you hit higher ratings, where Arms Warrior struggles a lot more, as enemies become better at exploiting your mobility.
