Hello guys! This is probably not the best guide for arms PVE but i'm doing good with it so far. MIND that this subjects to my personal taste and those who has seen me in some raids, u know whats my average DPS (not the best tho). So i'm gonna share my gears specs, gems & enchants used, profs, talent build, glyphs, skills i've been using in my rotations. Hope this 'simple' guide would benefits others :cool:
>> Gears Respec <<
- Hit rating MUST be capped at 8% or slightly above.
- Expertise MUST be optimum 26
- Once your hit & expertise are capped, stats priorities Str >> Crit >> Mastery >> Haste
>> Gems <<
About Gems, u can choose any gems u think the best to put for your gears. There are bonus stats for gem socket but i just completely ignore those with +10 <stats>.
- Red socket Bold Inferno Ruby
- Yellow socket Inscribed Ember Topaz
- Blue socket Etched Demonseye the reason i choose this gem bcoz i could reforge any xtra 20 hit points into crits.
- Meta socket Reverberating Shadowspirit Diamond
>> Enchants <<
- Head Arcanum of the Wildhammer
- Shoulder Greater Inscription of Jagged Stone
- Cloak Swordguard Embroidery (Tailoring)
- Chest Peerless Stats
- Wrist Major Strength
- Hands Synapse Springs or Mighty Strength
- Waist Ebonsteel Belt Buckle
- Legs Dragonscale Leg Armor
- Boots Precision the reason i choose this enchant bcoz i could reforge any xtra 50 hit points into crits.
- 2H wep Landslide
>> Professions <<
- Tailoring Swordguard Embroidery
- Engineering Synapse Springs & Reinforced Bio-Optic Killshades
OP - Overpower
SL - Slam
MS - Mortal Strike
CS - Colossus Smash
HS - Heroic Strike
SS - Sweeping Strikes
BS - Bladestorm

Bshout - Battle Shout
>> Talent Build & Glyphs <<

As u can see i dont pick any points for Taste for Blood bcoz i dont use any OP in my rotations. Players told me that would b a big loss in my DPS, but im doing good without it. Why? Bcoz it doesnt suit my play and u may disagree with me on that :D
>> Rotations <<
I think there is no 100% perfect rotations for any classes but it is how u manage to optimize it depends on your style of play. So i'm gonna share mine but u can always change the rotations wherever u see it better. I use Berserker Stance, i dont stance-dancing bcoz my net kinda sucks with average 400-500 ms all the time and ofc with that kind of latencies it will affects my DPS. Again..it is just my style of play and u can stance-dancing whenever u want. So lets get to it.
EDITED**
MIND that this is not a 100% MUST-FOLLOW bcoz these are the skills i'm using in my rotations not the rotations itself. Video guides would be the best options to look at.
- CS
- MS
- HS
- SL
- BS
- SS
- Execute
>> Macros for Stance-Dancing <<
Stance-Dancing is a must if u choose Taste for Blood in your talent tree bcoz OP is only usable in Battle Stance. So these macros would be useful and i'm sure u can make better macros. But let me remind u that lags probably gonna affect your dance and u may need to spam the macros.
#showtooltip Rend
/use [stance:2/3] Battle Stance
/use Rend
#showtooltip Overpower
/use [stance:2/3] Battle Stance
/use Overpower
#showtooltip Mortal Strike
/use [stance:1/2] Berserker Stance
/use Mortal Strike
>> CDs <<
U may pop your CDs whenever u see them fit to burst.
- Bshout (t12 2p bonus)
- Recklessness
- Synapse Springs
- SS
- About trinkets, i dont need to pop them bcoz i use proc trinkets Heart of Rage & License to Slay So it depends on what trinkets do u have.
>> Rage Sources <<
- Deadly Calm
- Bshout
- BR
- Mighty Rage Potions
- Charge
- Tactical Mastery should be one of the rage sources but i'm noticed that it is bugged :( so u can ignore it in your talent tree.
P/S: Warrs gonna have problems with rage starve with MS-HS build. So use either BR, BShout, Deadly Calm or whatever u got to regen your rage. My suggestion that u can use Mighty Rage Potion to add some rages whenever u need it. Simply to say that i prioritize lots of MS-HS, some SLs and NO OP at all (u cant use OP in Berserker Stance) and ofc BS is best used for AoE burst damage (my best is 197k burst on AoE) I believe u can do better ;)
Btw my english isnt very good so im glad to post this in english instead of my local language. Last but not least i'm looking 4wd to c u guys in raids and learning more from u guys.
