Arms Warrior PvP Overview
Arms Warriors have been known for their PvP prowess for years performing well in both arena brackets. In Shadowlands, Arms Warriors started off dominating the scene but have fallen off in the last season. They also have a powerful defensive toolkit and are quite versatile! There are great Covenant choices for all types of players and Arms Warriors are generally fun to play, being easy to grasp at the start, becoming harder to master at the top end of PvP rating!
Arms Warrior Strengths in PvP
Great Damage
Arms Warriors have great single and multi-target damage due to
战斗姿态
,
致死打击
, and
压制
being their main passive pressure spells, with
巨人打击
and
天神下凡
giving huge burst potential. Having multi-target pressure with
剑刃风暴
and
横扫攻击
is excellent against melee-cleaves or when dealing facing important pets in the arena. Being able to constantly churn out pressure and having
致死之伤
up all the time makes Arms Warriors a devastating force in PvP.
Excellent Peeling Toolkit
Having a plethora of abilities to peel (
破胆怒吼
,
风暴之锤
,
缴械
and
决斗
to name a few) can heavily reduce or negate pressure from any team! Arms Warriors have unique abilities such as
战旗
and
集结呐喊
, allowing them to reduce the effectiveness of an enemy's offensive setup.
援护
is absurdly powerful against most melee or physical abilities, allowing you to deter a ton of damage on a low cooldown! This powerful defensive toolkit can bring a huge amount of survival with your team, making you able to carry them in dire situations!
Arms Warrior Weaknesses in PvP
Kiting
Some specializations or compositions can kite an Arms Warriors often, having superior mobility or a more powerful snare, such as
寒冰锁链
. This allows enemy players to easily kite Arms Warriors if they are moving often, meaning warriors will lose out on a ton of pressure as Arms is reliant on being in melee range to deal all of their damage. Getting kited often could make it difficult to score a kill or create significant pressure.
Lack of Crowd Control
Even though Arms has a huge toolkit, most of the abilities are defensive. Offensively you only have
风暴之锤
+
破胆怒吼
which could be utilized for offensive plays, but sometimes they are needed for defensive measures. Outside of that, you have
打磨利刃
which can be nice to prevent healing, but it isn't as effective as keeping a kill target stun-locked.
Vulnerable to being trained/high burst swaps
With the nerf of
防御姿态
, Arms Warriors went from being a class that was incredibly difficult to take down, to now being an easy train target to eventually kill or kill with high burst damage setups. The main benefit of tunnelling an Arms Warrior is that it can be a win-win situation, where you force them to play more defensive, losing out on 20% extra damage and being able to kill them anyway. It could also force the enemy healers OOM, having to makeup with trying to heal them throughout the game if they're vulnerable to the pressure of the enemy composition.
Arms Warrior PvP in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Whilst there is only 1 main change in PvP, it appears to be a massive one that will effect Arms Warriors drastically:
防御姿态
now reduces damage taken by 10% in PvP combat (was 20%).
As we know,
防御姿态
is key for an Arms Warriors survivability and with this nerf, Arms Warriors will struggle to leave against high burst or passive damage teams. Whilst nerfs were warranted for Arms, this didn't feel like the most optimal route to nerf this spec and keep it top tier, more like a nerf to make sure they stop overperforming and will most likely underperform at the highest ratings. As such, instead of making any comp viable, their may be more specific Arms Warrior comps needed to play at the highest ratings in order to cater to an Arms Warriors lack of self defensive or healing, such as playing with a class that can peel well like a Mage, or a Hybrid class with off-healing, like an Enhancement Shaman.
Another change for Arms Warriors is the following:
死亡裁决
(PvP Talent) has been reworked.
斩杀
/
判罪
charges to your targets up to 15 yards away. This effect has a 6-second cooldown.
This change is mainly a significant nerf to Venthyr as this was the mandatory PvP talent when playing this Covenant. That being said, it's unlikely this Covenant will be your best option since typically you will be choosing between Kyrian or Necrolord as your preferred Covenant in PvP. The change to
死亡裁决
for other Covenants doesn't really hinder them at all. Most of the time I choose other PvP talents anyway as their are plenty of other strong options that you can use, meaning this change will only effect Venthyr Arms Warriors.
Talents and Racials in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Nothing has changed with Talents and Racials, despite
防御姿态
being nerfed, it will still be picked due to the other talents being lacklustre.
死亡裁决
was rarely picked anyway and will probably not be picked unless you play Venthyr, in which case it will still be picked less.
Rotations and Strategy in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
There are no significant changes towards the Rotations and Strategy sections for patch 9.2.
Gear and Legendaries in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Now that Tier sets have been re-introduced, these will probably worth picking up as an Arms Warrior (which is talked about in more detail in the Gear and Legendaries section). The 2 set will be worth acquiring, as well as the 4 set but you may lose a lot of Versatility to pickup the 4 set.
The introduction to the double-legendary system is also a nice change for Arms Warriors, favoring Kyrian due to the power of
极乐伟力
. This will most likely edge this Covenant choice to be stronger in most compositions.
There are also several new trinkets which look promising in the new PvP season and will most likely be used in some form, depending on the compositions you play and play against.
Covenants in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Right now the best Covenant to play as an Arms Warrior is a toss up between Kyrian and Necrolord, depending on which compositions you play. Due to the survivability nerf, Necrolord may be favourable for the short term, but long term, specifically when double legendary powers come into effect, I believe that Kyrian will be the most favoured Covenant choice for most compositions.
That being said, Necrolord could still be the pick for some comps, such as Warrior Ret Paladin, but more testing will be needed in the future.
Venthyr will now fall off with the nerf to
死亡裁决
making it unworthy to ever pick this covenant due to its lack of pressure as well as mobility being nerfed.
Although Night Fae is an unpopular choice, it can still pack a serious punch and be a fun covenant to play, which can also work in high burst compositions.
Guide Overview
Talents & Racials in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Talents are an important choice in PvP. This page will take you through each of the talents and PvP talents, giving advice on which ones will best suit your playstyle and which build is currently the strongest. Racials can also be important in PvP since many offer extra crowd control or escapes. See our Racials section on this page if you are starting a new character or considering a change!
Rotations & Strategy in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
While rotations aren't as clear-cut in PvP, it is essential to know how to maximise your output where possible to help turn the tide of a match. Strategy is another key element of PvP that can make or break a match. Our Rotations and Strategy page covers what you need to know about your important cooldowns, using your utility to your best advantage, and even common mistakes to avoid making.
Gear and Legendaries in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
The Gear and Legendaries page of this guide covers how gear works for PvP in Shadowlands, and how to obtain gear through PvP Vendors and The Great Vault. On this page you will also find the best stat priority and what each stat does for your specialization, the best pieces of gear including legendaries, as well as which enchants and gems you should use for your gear. It also covers how to make your all-important trinket choice for PvP.
Covenants in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Covenants are a key feature of the Shadowlands expansion. Your choice of Covenant, Soulbind, and Conduits can have a large impact on your gameplay. Learn which are the strongest for your specialization here.
Macros & Addons
Macros and addons can assist with streamlining your gameplay. Macros can make your gameplay more fluid, and addons provide important information that can help you make decisions before, during, or after an arena match. Find out which macros and addons are best for your specialization here.

Hey Joe,
These are the changes from the 11th of December 8.1 hotfixes:
The following Azerite Traits are reduced to 50% effectiveness when engaged in combat with enemy players:
Warrior -
Intimidating Presence
,
Crushing Assault
,
Bastion of Might
Are those traits any good now?
Cheers

In the weaknesses, a point should really be made about how they are NOT a solo class, and that they have practically no survival abilities — no healing. It's obvious to those familiar with the spec, but it should be highlighted for newcomers who don't understand that Arms is entirely dependent on teammates to keep them alive (more so than any other spec in the game).

Great guide! One question: can you explain why we mortal strike before overpower (instead of OP first to buff MS)?

I personaly like the Ancient Aftershock/stormbolt combo.to asure kills.
plus the spirt form to reach or escape with no cast such as venthyr's.
The game is much more fast now and to go for a more continuous dps build rather then a full burst build may be dangerous. Especially to newcommers.
Arms has good tankiness but too limited to bet on it. The time we are alive, should be, imo, the time we scare them.
Also I'm very happy with unhinged lego. Bladestorm becomes even more heavy and also secure kills.
Avatar+Colossus smash+well landed Aftershock+bladestorm = good stuff.
Anyway, that's my take on it. A different aproach to arms playstyle in comparison with the post's. As time goes, more improvements shall be done.
It's fun to be feared again as arms warrior when they can see the burst potential :P

Why are you talking about shield block as a defensive ability in an arms specific page?

Any chance this guide will be updated to follow buffs/nerfs for the future?
