Arms Warrior DPS Uldir Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Arms Warrior for each boss of the following raid: Uldir. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.2.5.
Arms Warrior in Uldir
This page is not a complete raid guide for Uldir . It is a boss-by-boss breakdown of talent suggestions, Warrior specific optimizations, as well as other tips and tricks. Initially, this page will focus on Normal and Heroic mode, with Mythic optimizations added once the difficulty is released.
Arms Warriors are currently very competitive in both single and multitarget encounters, with an emphasis on two-target cleave and burst AoE, as well as powerful defensives and high mobility, which will help keep Arms Warriors in the fight longer than other melee.
Talent Cheatsheet
Taloc
More Taloc Guides on Icy Veins

Arms Warrior Playstyle on Taloc
- Time the use of your
Colossus Smash so that you are not using it immediately before Taloc casts
Plasma Discharge.
- If you are targeted by
Plasma Discharge, use
Heroic Leap to quickly move away from the raid and
Charge to get back after the debuff has expired.
Defensive Stance can be used to reduce damage taken during
Plasma Discharge, although it comes at the cost of being able to
Heroic Leap and keep up with the boss less.
- When Taloc casts
Cudgel of Gore at 100 energy, there is a short delay between reaching the tank and dealing damage. Do not use
Charge to catch up to the boss until after the damage goes out, or else it will kill you.
- In Phase Two and Three,
Sweeping Strikes can be used to hit two targets at the same time, which will also refund Rage with
Collateral Damage talented. If your raid is good at grouping multiple adds together, then
Warbreaker can be used instead alongside
Bladestorm to quickly kill them.
- Taloc starts at 65% health, which means he reaches 35% much faster than
other encounters of the same length, making
Massacre the perfect talent, usable throughout the entirety of Phase Three.
M.O.T.H.E.R.

Arms Warrior Playstyle on M.O.T.H.E.R.
- If you find yourself unable to keep in range of the boss during
Wind Tunnel, let it push you back a few yards, and quickly
Charge or
Heroic Leap to catch back up.
- Use
Heroic Leap to quickly dodge the
Uldir Defensive Beam.
- Interrupt Remnants of Corruption cast by
Clinging Corruption with
Pummel or
Intimidating Shout.
- M.O.T.H.E.R. takes 100% increased damage upon reaching the third and last
room, making
Massacre the perfect talent for finishing the encounter.
Fetid Devourer

Arms Warrior Playstyle on Fetid Devourer
- Rather than trying to avoid
Shockwave Stomp, allow it to knock you back in order to use
Charge for free Rage generation.
- Time
Colossus Smash for the Corruption Corpuscle spawns, and use it with
Sweeping Strikes in order to maintain damage on it and the boss, provided they are kept close enough.
- Use
Heroic Leap to quickly move from one Corruption Corpuscle spawn to the next, if needed.
- The Fetid Devourer takes 50% increased damage from 50% health until it is
defeated, which synergizes greatly with
Massacre.
Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth

Arms Warrior Playstyle on Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth
- The Silithid Warrior pack spawns approximately 50 seconds into
the encounter, so
Warbreaker can be used immediately on the pull, and then saved for the spawns.
Bladestorm can sometimes be available again before the adds appear, although it is a gamble and generally not risking.
- Interrupt the Nerubian Voidweaver's
Void Bolt cast with
Pummel or fear them with
Intimidating Shout.
- If you are afflicted with
Roiling Deceit, use
Heroic Leap to quickly get away from the raid and
Charge to get back.
- Try to soak a
Orb of Corruption at 35% in order to make the most of its 100% damage increase with
Massacre.
Vectis

Zul, Reborn
More Zul, Reborn Guides on Icy Veins

- Time
Warbreaker and
Bladestorm for
Call of Blood add spawns. Use
Sweeping Strikes to cleave two targets whenever you are not going to be using
Bladestorm.
- If targeted by
Dark Revelation use
Heroic Leap to move away from the raid, and
Charge to get back to your target once it has expired.
Berserker Rage can be used to immune or remove the fear caused by Minion of Zul.
- In Phase Two, use
Charge after
Locus of Corruption to negate the knockback.

Oblivion Sphere.

Warriors are a strong choice for transporting the Power Matrix, using

Charge to get back.

Colossus Smash with
