Before the Guide I shall introduce myself:
Who Am I ?
I'm Nerxqt Alliance Side on Warsong Server. I played since 5 years and I decided to do this guide because I think I've enough experience to talk about my class to help new players.
Before I start just a little warning: I'm a French Canadian so if you see some grammar/spelling mistakes its normal. I'm not bilingual and I will thank you a lot if you can leave a comment and tell me where's my mistakes so I can correct them.
What's an arms warrior?
Arms warrior is a two handed wielder that deal damage. Arms warrior is the best spec for warrior in PvP. Arms Warrior is a cool spec because they have good snare, stun (45cd), anti-root(Bladestorm), fear, spell reflect, charge and a lot of other useful spells that make the spec so fun to play<3.
So let's start.
Specs
They are lot of viable specs. I'm going to talk about these specs:
Pro:
Piercing Howl + Improved Harmstring
Incite give you an extra crit with heroic strike when you crit with this attack.
Cons:
No Drums of War so no interupt/fear if you are out of rage.
Blitz 1/2 is fewer rage when charge and you can't stun hunter + pet + his mate in arena.
Major:
I use Glyph of Long charge, Rapid Charge, Piercing Howl are the one that I prefer. Major glyph should be used for your own play style because they don't change the game play a lot compare to prime one.
Minor:
Your own choice, I use Glyph for my shout and for berscerker rage. Choose them for your play style.
Stats:
At least 5% hit, I use 20 expertise to reduce dodge/parry by 5% but some people don't.
Hit Cap > Expertise Cap(optional) > Strength > Crit > Mastery > Others stats
Resilience: I personally suggest using 3k+ when you start arena.
Gems:
For gemming some people prefer full strength everywhere and some prefer to get bonus. I prefer to get bonus.
The spell Reflect macro.
I think its my favourite macro. I put two time /cast spell reflection because for me its easier to spam and I don't know why I get less equipping bug and ****. A little tips when someone cast a spell vs you. Press it one time then wait when the cast is about to finish press it again. If you do that correctly its going to be harder for your enemy to cancel his cast.
Classic Disarm macro.
Use it to disarm enemy. This macro is simple, just going to switch defensive stance, then disarm. After that go back to Battle Stance but you need to spam it a bit because of Global Cooldown of your stances.
Shield Block macro.
This is a classic shield block macro I personally don't use it a lot because shield block have only 25% of blocking and vs melee class I just don't get the time to do it. I just put it in my defensive stance if I need it when I've the flag in Warsong. If you think you are going to use it and you prefer an auto switch to defensive stance just add /cast Defensive Stance before /equip "Your one handed".
Intervene Macro:
Simple macro, target the nearest friend player, then intervene him, then target the last target. Very useful in arena to intercept enemy spell that are cast on your mate.
Pummel Macro
With this macro I cancel bladestorm so I can interrupt.
#showtooltip Pummel
/cancelaura Hand of Protection
/cancelaura Bladestorm
/cast Pummel
Charge Macro
Same as pummel macro but for charge if the target flee when you use bladestorm you can cancel it then charge.
#showtooltip Charge
/cancelaura Hand of Protection
/cancelaura Bladestorm
/cast Charge
Heroic Leap Macro
With this macro the green circle don't disappear when you spam your spell.
#showtooltip
/cast !heroic leap
And the last and best offensive macro for warrior is:
One Shot Macro
use this macro wisely because with this macro you are going to take a lot more damage but you are going to do lot more damage.
Tips: Please don't waste this macro on a rogue/warrior/shadow priest that didn't disarm you yet.
Basic Stun Focus Macro so very easy stun your focus when you use this macro. (add /cast Throwdown after if you want to stun your Target when you don't have focus)
Same as Stun Focus Macro fear your focus when you use this macro. (add /cast Intimidating Shout after if you want to stun your Target when you don't have focus)
If you have any question about this class, need a little precision on somethings, need to duel me, etc... just whisper me in game or leave a comment or Private Message me.
If you want to add something to my guide or you think I'm wrong just leave a polite comment and explain your view point. Thank You.
