Arms Warrior PvE Guide - TBC Classic

TBC Classic Arms Warrior Rotation

Slam
resets your swing timer, so this rotation will involve using
Slam
after your white hits. If your attack speed goes below 2.5 seconds you will use
Heroic Strike
instead of
Slam
to manage your rage or you can continue using
Slam
but only when
Mortal Strike
and
Whirlwind
are both on cooldown.

Single Target

1. Maintain
   Battle Shout
   .
2. Maintain
   Demoralizing Shout
   if assigned to it.
3. Use
   Bloodrage
   .
4. Use
   Death Wish
   and
   Recklessness
   .
5. Use
   Auto Attack
   followed by
   Slam
   and
   Mortal Strike
6. Use
   Auto Attack
   followed by
   Slam
   and
   Whirlwind
7. Use
   Auto Attack
   followed by
   Slam
   and
   Mortal Strike
8. Use
   Auto Attack
   followed by
   Slam
   and
   Battle Shout
   or
   Demoralizing Shout
9. Repeat Steps 5 - 8.

AoE

1. Use
   Sweeping Strikes
   .
2. Perform single target rotation.
3. Use
   Cleave
   instead of
   Slam
   when
   Sweeping Strikes
   runs out to dump your rage.

Execute Phase

1. There are a few options for the execute phase. You can continue with the single target rotation, you can start using
   Execute
   in step 8 instead of the shouts, or you can switch to 2 fast weapons and spam
   Execute
   .
2. Spamming
   Execute
   will probably be more effective on mobile fights.

TBC Classic Arms Warrior Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Aldor as an Arms Warrior in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Vengeance
, is slightly better than the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Blade
. Aldor also provides a quest that rewards
Overseer's Signet
, an item tied for bis ring for Pre-Raid gearing.
