Arms Warrior Mists of Pandaria: Remix Guide — The War Within Pre-Patch

Welcome to our MoP Remix Guide for Arms Warrior! This page contains everything you need to know about getting the most out of your Arms Warrior in the Patch 10.2.7 special feature, Mists of Pandaria: Remix.

Arms is very strong leveling spec in MoP Remix, due to the early multitarget capabilities of Sweeping Strikes, minimally required damage build-up, and strong survivability from Victory Rush. This page is focused only on Arms Warrior in MoP Remix. If you want to know more about MoP Remix in general, such as its rewards, check out our dedicated page below.

Below, you will find our recommended leveling build and talent pickup order for your Arms Warrior in MoP Remix. There are various ways of leveling in MoP Remix, and we offer some builds for the most relevant ways.

Note that this Leveling section is specific to MoP Remix. For our Dragonflight Leveling Guide for Arms Warrior, please check our dedicated Leveling page.

Gems are one of the unique ways to augment your character in MoP Remix, offering offensive, defensive, and utility benefits. On this page, we list the best gems for each type. To learn more about Gems in MoP Remix in general, check out our dedicated page below.

• Meta Gem (1 Maximum): Oblivion Sphere for quick burst or Funeral Pyre for longer encounters
• Cogwheel Gem (1 Maximum): Blink in dungeons and raids or Sprint in the open world
• Prismatic Gems (21 Maximum):

  You will have a tremendous amount of stats as you start unlocking all the available Gem slots on gear, and Arms Warriors primarily to stack Critical Strike and Haste, although they will want to dip into Versatility and Mastery beyond 40%. While defensive stats like Stamina, Armor, and Leech may seem appealing, they are largely unnecessary, though Speed may be a decent filler option for open-world content.

• Tinker Gems (12 Maximum):
  • Windweaver
  • Enkindle
  • Lightning Rod
  • Wildfire
  • Explosive Barrage
  • Brilliance (in groups)
  • Brittle (multiple enemies)
  • Slay (dungeons/open world)
  • Sunstrider's Flourish
  • Incendiary Terror
  • Hailstorm
  • Fervor
  • Arcanist's Edge
  • Cold Front (with Arcanist's Edge)
  • Frost Armor (with Arcanist's Edge)
  • Storm Overload

To keep things simple while leveling and learning the spec, use the slider to select your level, and watch as the leveling rotation grows with each level!
