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

2.1.

Arms Warrior Playstyle on Taloc

  • Time the use of your Colossus Smash Icon Colossus Smash so that you are not using it immediately before Taloc casts Plasma Discharge Icon Plasma Discharge.
  • If you are targeted by Plasma Discharge Icon Plasma Discharge, use Heroic Leap Icon Heroic Leap to quickly move away from the raid and Charge Icon Charge to get back after the debuff has expired.
  • Defensive Stance Icon Defensive Stance can be used to reduce damage taken during Plasma Discharge Icon Plasma Discharge, although it comes at the cost of being able to Heroic Leap Icon Heroic Leap and keep up with the boss less.
  • When Taloc casts Cudgel of Gore Icon Cudgel of Gore at 100 energy, there is a short delay between reaching the tank and dealing damage. Do not use Charge Icon 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 Icon Sweeping Strikes can be used to hit two targets at the same time, which will also refund Rage with Collateral Damage Icon Collateral Damage talented. If your raid is good at grouping multiple adds together, then Warbreaker Icon Warbreaker can be used instead alongside Bladestorm Icon 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 Icon Massacre the perfect talent, usable throughout the entirety of Phase Three.
3.

M.O.T.H.E.R.

3.1.

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 Icon Wind Tunnel, let it push you back a few yards, and quickly Charge Icon Charge or Heroic Leap Icon Heroic Leap to catch back up.
  • Use Heroic Leap Icon Heroic Leap to quickly dodge the Uldir Defensive Beam Icon Uldir Defensive Beam.
  • Interrupt Remnants of Corruption cast by Clinging Corruption Icon Clinging Corruption with Pummel Icon Pummel or Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout.
  • M.O.T.H.E.R. takes 100% increased damage upon reaching the third and last room, making Massacre Icon Massacre the perfect talent for finishing the encounter.
4.

Fetid Devourer

4.1.

Arms Warrior Playstyle on Fetid Devourer

  • Rather than trying to avoid Shockwave Stomp Icon Shockwave Stomp, allow it to knock you back in order to use Charge Icon Charge for free Rage generation.
  • Time Colossus Smash Icon Colossus Smash for the Corruption Corpuscle spawns, and use it with Sweeping Strikes Icon Sweeping Strikes in order to maintain damage on it and the boss, provided they are kept close enough.
  • Use Heroic Leap Icon 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 Icon Massacre.
5.

Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth

5.1.

Arms Warrior Playstyle on Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth

  • The Silithid Warrior pack spawns approximately 50 seconds into the encounter, so Warbreaker Icon Warbreaker can be used immediately on the pull, and then saved for the spawns. Bladestorm Icon 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 Icon Void Bolt cast with Pummel Icon Pummel or fear them with Intimidating Shout Icon Intimidating Shout.
  • If you are afflicted with Roiling Deceit Icon Roiling Deceit, use Heroic Leap Icon Heroic Leap to quickly get away from the raid and Charge Icon Charge to get back.
  • Try to soak a Orb of Corruption Icon Orb of Corruption at 35% in order to make the most of its 100% damage increase with Massacre Icon Massacre.
6.

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