Arms Warrior PvP Talents and Builds — The War Within (11.1.7)

Slayer Arms Warrior is a build that focuses largely on big sustained damage. It can deliver some powerful Executes and focuses largely on high cleave damage and DPS. Slayer delivers very high damage output with Slayer's Strike and Bladestorm becomes greatly enhanced with this build.

There are several talents in the Arms Warrior tree that you will want to change regularly based on matchups, which are:

• Wrecking Throw / Shattering Throw: This node comes down to whether or not the enemy has magical immunities, such as Divine Shield or Ice Block. If they do, pick Shattering Throw, otherwise use Wrecking Throw for shield breaking, and if the enemy team has none of both, skip this node and pick something else in the talent tree.
• Blunt Instruments / Warbreaker: Whether you will hit cleave damage is a simple choice. Warbreaker for cleave and Blunt Instruments for single target.
• Storm Wall / Ignore Pain: The clear winner here is Ignore Pain. As Arms, you have a high amount of excess rage that you can spend, allowing this talent to increase your durability immensely.
• Berserker Shout / Piercing Howl: Both are situational and really powerful. You should default to Piercing Howl, but choose Berserker Shout in situations where you can break fears with cooldowns on your healer, such as Intimidating Shout or Psychic Scream, reliably, or if you're confident you will have full uptime on your target.
• Dreadnaught / Strength of Arms: You will want to pick Strength of Arms in all situations.
