Arms Warrior PvP Guide (Dragonflight 10.0.7)

Arms Warrior currently serves as a heavy-hitting melee fighter capable of delivering high amounts of sustained damage in quick bursts to single targets and cleave. Arms Warrior has a broad amount of utility through Intervene, War Banner, Duel and more. The new addition of the talent system in Dragonflight has brought a lot of beneficial powers for Arms Warrior, namely that you can now use Storm Bolt, Impending Victory and Double Time at the same time.

With the reintroduction of Ignore Pain, Arms is looking to be on the dominant side of the melee spectrum while having received multiple buffs to its damage throughout season 1.
