Stat Priority for Arms Warriors in PvP
The stat priority for Arms Warriors in PvP is as follows:

- Versatility;
- Critical Strike;
- Haste;
- Mastery.
Critical strike is what gives value to Impale,
Sharpened Blades and
Cruel Strikes, while both critical strike and haste benefit

Seasoned Soldier.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
Your gear goal should be to be fully equipped in Conquest gear. You
will need to get a pair of
Infurious Warboots of Impunity, in order
to empower the 2-set bonus of your PvP trinkets.
Recommended Trinkets
Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a boost to your primary stat, stamina and provide a CC-reducing effect to you.
Crimson Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have
equipped at all times. Even Human players will want to pick up this item against
some compositions.
Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Critical Strike and
provides a large increase to Strength.
Crimson Gladiator's Emblem gives you an extra defensive by giving you
a temporary health increase. This should be used if your priority is to survive
and you know you are the kill target. Activating this trinket can then further
empower
Rallying Cry
on you should it be necessary.
