Arms Warrior Challenge
Introduction
The challenge can be attempted with any gear, though it's recommended for players of at least 920 item level. It is a raidboss length multi-stage encounter designed to test players survivability, dps, and mobility. Remember, these challenges are supposed to be difficult, so don’t be discouraged if it takes a few attempts. The challenge does not scale with character growth the way many solo scenarios do, so re-attempting the challenge after gaining more gear makes it significantly easier over time.
Reward
Blade of the Sky Champion is an appearance for
斯多姆卡,灭战者
, and the reward for completing
闭上眼睛
, which can only be attempted while the Mage Tower building is active in the Broken Shore.
Preparation
There is an period of downtime between Phase 1 and 2 in which the player goes out of combat and can change talents or gear, and heal up. Because of this, suggestions will be made for each phase.
Suggested Talents
Phase 1
Phase 2
Useful gear
Most gear from Argus and Antorus will do perfectly fine for this encounter for more information on gear you can check out the
Arms gear guide
, Sny set bonuses you have should help, but aren't necessary.
Legendaries
Any legendary is better than no legendary, but these are the most beneficial; if not available, choose legendaries with similar strengths. Keep in mind that you can change legendaries between phases.
永恒战术
will make the movement in Phase 1 significantly easier.
玛诺洛斯的滴血镣铐
helps mitigate the constant damage in Phase 1.
基尔加丹的炽燃决心
is especially effective against adds during Phase 2.
阿亚拉的磐石之心
is good for damage in Phase 2, and the proc synergizes very well with Sweeping Strikes when dealing with adds.
纳因图斯的脊骨
is useful for killing Razor Ice in Phase 1 or Darkness Within during Phase 2, but shouldn't be needed if using Timeless Stratagem and/or Kil'jaeden's Burning Wish.
During Phase 1
普瑞达兹,萨瓦里克的杰作
and
永恒战术
trivialize the major threats of the encounter - Mannoroth's will help you stay alive, while Stratagem allows skipping most of the downtime and major threats.
For Phase 2, healing and mobility are minor concerns, so the two best cleave DPS legendaries available should be used - typically
基尔加丹的炽燃决心
and
阿亚拉的磐石之心
.
Trinkets
Any appropriate item level trinkets should do, below are some useful ones but they can be difficult to get, a simple stat stick from Argus is sufficient if you don't have any of these.
基尔加丹的炽燃决心
is one of the best trinkets for dealing damage as Arms, and should be used if able, especially against adds during phase 2.
灵魂之引
provides excellent damage in both phases.
凝结的命运
shouldn't be needed with Anger Management, but can allow for easier use of
鲁莽
on both the boss and adds (especially useful post-patch 7.2.5).
晶化幼蝎之爪
is not as good as other trinkets, but can be used to add damage to both the boss and adds without micromanagement.
托尼的承诺
can be useful if you're having issues killing adds in phase 2, and don't have access to better trinkets. Similar options include
缚恐魔枢
,
残缺的种荚
and
风痕磨石
.
Consumables
上古战神药水
无尽大军合剂
被污染的强化符文
夜之子小食拼盘
狂怒战鼓
The Encounter
The challenge is split into two phases, each with their own unique mechanics and boss.
Phase 1
大法师克希雷姆
The main target in Phase 1, he will rotate between Frost abilities, an Intermission, and Arcane/Shadow abilities throughout the phase:
Frost
The Focusing Iris
in the center of the room is made up of four beams of arcane energy which will damage the player if touched, but can be leapt over.
寒冰箭
deals low, interruptible, damage.
寒冰剃刀
surrounds the player with deadly ice which must either be killed or leapt over to escape.
彗星风暴
bombards the Razor Ice field with constant damage, forcing the player to act quickly to escape.
The encounter will start with the Archmage chain casting Frostbolts, which may be interrupted, but are largely harmless. Every 20-30s he will teleport away, encasing the player in Razor Ice and summoning a Comet Storm. The Ice has low health and can be killed to escape or avoided
by first jumping and then using Heroic Leap
sometimes you can clip the ice and die instantly so be careful about the angle you leap out this may take a couple of attempts to get down.
Cooldowns may be used freely on Xylem; save Warbreaker and Bladestorm if killing the ice, however
鲁莽
should not be needed.
If using Timeless Stratagem, all the ice can be leapt over, simply always save one charge of Leap for the upcoming Intermission.
If not using Timeless Stratagem, only the first two Razor Ice may be leapt over; the third must be killed due to the intermission occurring shortly after.
Razor Ice will repeat three times, before Xylem teleports to the other side of the room and disappears, beginning his intermission.
Intermission: Mirror Images
奥能毁灭
must be interrupted by reaching Xylem's position before the 40s cast is completed.
Mirror Images
will constantly cast Prismatic Shock, which will cause a knockback if near. Upon death, each will drop a decaying protective bubble which will provide temporary damage immunity, healing, and refresh cooldowns.
Xylem will teleport to a random area of the room, disappear, and start casting
奥能毁灭
. Mirror Images will appear around the room, while his true position is hidden by a shimmering illusion. While in this phase, the shadowy ground will deal 1 million damage per second, and the only way to avoid the damage will be to kill a Mirror Image and standing in a protective bubble which will heal and refresh cooldowns. However, each time a Mirror Image completes its cast, it will knock you back away from them, requiring you to interrupt the cast of whichever image you're trying to kill. To find Xylem, check the minimap for his location and look for a shimmering outline of his character.
As a Warrior,
you can skip this intermission entirely
by using Heroic Leap to immediately move to Archmage Xylem's position. If you fail to do this you can just kill one of the nearest adds and work your way towards him by watching the next adds cast, letting it complete then charging in and killing it, rinse repeat untill you reach him (The sparkly area).
Arcane & Shadow
奥术弹幕
deals moderate, interruptible, damage.
暗影弹幕
spawns numerous orbs of energy which will all move in the direction in which Xylem is facing, and must be dodged.
吸取能量
channels power from the Focusing Iris; must be interrupted to limit stacking
吸取能量
.
After breaking out of the intermission, the Archmage will cast Shadow Barrage, which can simply be sidestepped, followed by Draw Power, which must be interrupted immediately, and finally Arcane Barrage. After that sequence, he will teleport away and begin casting Arcane Barrage again, followed by another Draw Power.
Save Pummel for Draw Power and interrupt it immediately. Failure to do so can result in his damage becoming too much for you to sustain naturally.
If using Timeless Stratagem, leap can be used to quickly catch up after Xylem's blink, but ensure one charge of Leap is saved for the upcoming Intermission.
If not using Timeless Stratagem, simply run and charge to catch up to Xylem, since the Intermission will return before Heroic Leaps cooldown is up.
Shortly after casting Draw Power for the second time, the Archmage will shift back into the Intermission, cast Shadow Barrage, and then rotate back to using Frost abilities. This sequence will repeat until he reaches 10% health, at which point Archmage Xylem will drop combat and begin channeling into the Focusing Iris. After a few seconds, during which time the player can eat and change talents or gear, Phase 2 will begin.
Phase 2
腐蚀暗影
Creeping void zone
will spawn underneath the boss, deal extremely high damage, and slowly grow in size over time, similar to Heroic Ursoc in Emerald Nightmare. This acts as a soft-enrage, as it slowly fills the room.
黑暗之种
cancels the Corrupting Shadows attacks and movement, while placing
黑暗之种
on the player. After 8s, 3
黑暗之心
will spawn at the player's location and move toward the boss in an attempt to heal it.
Upon starting the phase, the Shadows should immediately be pulled to an edge of the room, to maximize space, as the void zone spawns. As it grows larger, only move the boss as much as necessary to continue attacking without standing in the void, while keeping it as close as possible to the edge of the platform. After approximately 20s, the Shadows will begin channeling Seed of Darkness, spawning three adds at your location after 8s. Use this time to Heroic Leap away, and move as far away from the boss as possible, to create distance between the adds and give you time to defeat them. Use Shockwave,
鲁莽
, Warbreaker, and Bladestorm or Kil'jaedan's Burning Wish (for best results stagger Bladestorm and Kil'jaeden's, using one or the other for every pack of adds), and finish them off with Mortal Strike or Execute.
After handling the adds, the Corrupting Shadows will stop channeling and resume attacking. Reposition it at the edge of the creeping void and continue the phase as before. A second channel and set of adds will spawn approximately 1m after the first, and a third another minute thereafter. At this point, the room will be almost entirely filled with creeping void, giving little to no room to handle a fourth spawn, requiring the boss be defeated before the platform fills entirely.
Phase 2 is a DPS race!
At the start of the phase, position the Corrupting Shadows at the very edge of the platform, use
狂怒战鼓
, and all cooldowns except Warbreaker.
Seed of Darkness will start 20s after the start of the phase, and every 1m thereafter, for a total of three times before the platform is filled.
Time
鲁莽
so that it can be alternated between the boss and adds (25-33s CD with Anger Management - in patch 7.2.5 this may require the use of Convergence of Fates to safely alternate
鲁莽
on both).
Save Warbreaker, Bladestorm, Kil'jaeden's Burning Wish for the adds. For best results, stagger Bladestorm and Kil'jaeden's to separate sets of adds.
After each set of adds, reposition the Shadows at the edge of the platform, and the edge of the creeping void.
After the third set of adds, stop saving cooldowns and use everything to kill the boss.
Tips + tricks
屠戮之魂
is extremely useful in Phase 1, and can even offset the need to use
玛诺洛斯的滴血镣铐
, although using both is even safer.
乘胜追击
can be procced off of Razor Ice, and Mirror Images, making it a quick and efficient way to heal up, even if using Heroic Leap to skip the threats.
狂怒战鼓
should be used at the beginning of phase 2, where there is the least amount of movement, and it will overlap with the first set of adds.
Phase 1 is a survivability check, while Phase 2 is a DPS one. Make the most of the out of combat break to heal and change to more appropriate gear.

Pretty straightforward fight. Mistakes will kill you on the first part, low DPS on the second.
I was able to complete this as an ilvl 900 arms warrior using
暴风之眼
and
永恒战术
. Timeless really did help for the first phase, but it could be easily done without it, just save heroic leap for the transitions and kill the razor ice. I even did this sometimes when I wanted to save a charge of heroic leap and rarely had an issue as you can victory rush each time you kill a piece of ice. I opted for
instead of
just because I liked the increase in haste (my gear had fairly low haste) and the boost from deadly calm just wasn't noticeable for me at first. I'm sure it could be done with either.
Biggest alteration I made to this strat, and most strats I've seen, was that I did 4 rounds of adds in P2 instead of just 3. I found when I tried to go for the kill after 3 sets of adds, he spawned more before I could kill him (unless I got lucky with lots of Tactician procs and MS crits, I guess my DPS was a bit low). I also noticed I had a bit of extra platform left and killing the adds had been no problem at all for me. . This strat may require you being a bit more careful with boss positioning while you kite him around the platform. You really gotta flirt with that danger zone sometimes.
Along the same lines, I didn't pull the adds quite so far away cause they were at <10% health after I was done with bladestorm and they probably had moved 10yds at most. This allowed quick transitions between adds and boss and minimized boss movement.
Fun fight in the end. The first phase can be kind of tedious, but don't let that cause mistakes. Also, don't think you don't have the DPS just cause you didn't get lucky with procs after you popped drums. With an extra set of adds like I did it adds a fair amount of time, and the execute phase goes quick!
Have fun!

You cant change talents between phases anymore. The easy mode has ended.

After blowing 15k nethershards (RIP my legendary chances), I can say without a doubt this is actually not that hard. All it takes is one mistake and you lose, but the mechanics are really not that bad with Arms' tools. I just can never get the timing right with jumping over the ice though; it either kills me or DCs me every time. I got to the last phase twice, and I ALMOST killed him, but I didn't have the talents suggested for p2. I wasn't given a chance to swap talents, as I was stuck in combat after Xylem was brought to 10% health. It definitely wasn't lag, because I was able to attack normally (whirlwind for testing), so something may have caused me to still count as attacking something.
I'm not too fond of the Arms appearance, but considering how easy this is at 902 ilvl, there's no excuse to not keep trying and just get it done! At least it's not as awful as the Guardian Druid one, bleh.

Been using wowhead for years. Decided to register an account just to say that this guide is absolute garbage. Unless you have Timeless Stratagem just come up with your own strat. Timing is off for heroic leaps. Don't both interrupting anything but Draw Power in arcane phase, you sometimes don't even have pummel off CD to catch it before it starts casting again. JUMP before leaping on razor ice. Don't use the P1 recommended talent build as the dps output is garbage. If you have Soul of the Slaughter trait and victory rush that's all you need for survivability.

What is the lore behind the appearance? The Ashbringer had some pretty cool lore with the different appearances. Is this just a skin or is there some substance to it?

Couldn't get last boss below 40% health with Avatar, Deadly Calm and Anger Management. Once I switched to Trauma, In For the Kill and Opportunity Strikes, I hit that execute phase much faster to kill the boss. ilvl was 910.

Pretty much followed Asmongold’s youtube guide. Used all the recommended potions and food, did the talent swap inbetween phases. I needed around 20-30 tries, just to get a feel for it and time everything correctly. I would say that’s the main thing here - practice. Like in phase 1, just stay calm and take your time. There is no rush. In P2 you need to get your optimal dps right. Pretty great feeling when you finally get it right.
ilvl 908, one legendary (weight of the world).

I managed to take this guy down at 923 after probably 3 or 4 attempts. I used Timeless Stratagem for bonus leaps (really cheeses this fight) and Sephuz because i didnt have any other legendaries. I actually like sephuz a lot. You can use interrupts, fears, stuns ANYTHING in the first phase to totally wreck this guy and increase survivability.
Second phase can be bypassed by leaps. keep your eye out for that glittery aura!
FOR THE THIRD PHASE this is so important: DO NOT INTERRUPT the boss when they cast seed of darkness! I did this like 3 times and couldnt figure out how to pull the adds away from the boss.
If you don't interrupt, the boss will remain stationary for about 10 seconds. The final phase is 100% about saving your cooldowns properly. Leap away to a safe distance. Stun, WARBREAKER, and bladestorm. if you warbreaker after you'll lose out on a significant amount of damage.
I also swapped out my talents from what the guide suggested after reading some comments. I used Dauntless, Shockwave, Trauma, Bounding Stride, Titanic Might, In for the Kill, and opportunity Strikes. I didnt bother with swapping out talents. I guess my gear helped a lot for the dps check.
With our artifacts being fully powered, this challenge is a lot easier. You can do it!

I highly recommend setting up your gear sets, and an add on like talent set manager, then adding your different gear sets and your Tome of the tranquil mind to one of your bars if you are trying to do this quickly before Tuesday when it goes away. When I tried it, I was doing great until I ran out of time switching everything over during the intermission and the Corrupting shadows guy started beating on me before i was done changing talents and gear. Also certain trinkets and effects can keep you in combat longer than what is convenient, so going in with all this prepared will save you some hassle. Good luck, everyone and I hope you get it!
