TBC Classic Arms Warrior Spec, Builds, and Talents

Arms Warrior talent builds are typically very precise, as you need to get specific talents in multiple different trees.

If you are looking for leveling builds, please refer to our leveling guide for Warriors.

This is the standard PvE Arms Warrior build. While there can be some difference between the filler points, the core build is the same. Improved Demoralizing Shout should be taken instead of Unbridled Wrath if there is no Fury Warrior in the raid with this talent already. Put points into whichever type of weapon you have.

Here we go over some of the key talents that you will want to take note of if you are specializing in Arms.

• While Thunder Clap is not part of your normal rotation, having the improved version is nice for utility, especially when paired with a non-Warrior tank.
• Impale offers a nice DPS increase on your critical strikes.
• Death Wish is now in the Arms tree. It is still a great DPS cooldown.
• You have 5 points to put into either Sword Specialization. Mace Specialization, or Poleaxe Specialization, depending on the weapon type you have.
• Blood Frenzy is the entire reason you spec as Arms. It causes bleeding enemies to take 2%/4% more Physical damage from all sources.

• Improved Demoralizing Shout may need to be taken if no other Warrior has it in your raid.
• Commanding Presence buffs the Attack Power granted by your Battle Shout, giving your party higher damage output.
• Improved Slam reduces the cast time of Slam by 1 second. It makes Slam a great ability to use often.
• Sweeping Strikes is very good for cleaving and AoEing.

There are no noteworthy Arms Warrior PvE talents found in the Protection tree.
