Question About Arms

[tobinopowa 0]

Hi all, sorry for my bad english..

I want some tips for maximize my dps with arms.

I have 3 question, for burn rage what is better?

- Use HS only when you are 60+ rage until you have 40 rage and then use slam when you have all on cd

- Use HS for burn all your rage when you use Colossus Smash for 6 second

- Use Slam when 60+ rage indipendently of your cd

And + or - how much crit chance i need to start use Fury DW 1-H?

Thanks all for help i'm just a good tank but a noob dps i have 482 item level with dps and my dps sucks at 50k XD

Good afternoon, Tobinopowa.

The first thing you will want to do is read over the Icy-Veins Arms Warrior DPS Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities (WoW MoP 5.1). This link takes you right to the single target DPS Rotation.

With this in mind I'll give you a few things that I practice while playing Arms. (Btw: I love Arms over Fury. Love it. Too bad SMF is top right now.) When dealing with a rage pool you have a few options to consider. Here's a "check list" that I go by:

• If I'm simply above 60 rage I use Slam to dump it.
• If I'm above 60 and have stacks of Taste for Blood (2 - 4) I will use Heroic Strike to dump the rage.
• If I am above 60 rage / rage capped / can't spend the rage fast enough then I use both Slam and Heroic Strike (regardless of stacks) to dump it.

As for the "Burn Phase" of the Colossus Smash debuff.... I personally feel that is more tied to the Fury Rotation. You want all your CD's up and such during that specific "burn rotation" and then you go into a "rage building" rotation.

Arms is different; it is more steady - more sustained DPS if you will. You still want to use your CD's during this (if you can / if they line up) but you will stick to your Arms Rotation during the debuff as well.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
