This guide is all about the Arms Warrior leveling build – one of the most efficient ways to level your Warrior 1-80 in the least amount of time. First of all I have to add that this guide is written in 2010 – when I browse the forums I find a lot of out-dated builds that sometimes are pre-WotLK and even pre-BC. I promise that this one is new and up-to-date.
Before we hit the talent points, I want to show you why the Arms Warrior leveling build is so popular and effective.
The build focuses on a very slow, two handed weapon. It’s the one thing that will never change, no matter how you spend your talent points. The whole Arms tree focuses on exploiting the slow attack speed of your weapon.
Why is this so important? Weapons always deal the same DPS. That means if you only have half the attack speed, each hit deals double damage.
Now, the Arms Warrior leveling build focuses on adding skills that give you additional, instant attacks with your full weapon damage. See where this goes? Your weapon damage is huge because it’s so slow, but still you are going to deal a lot of hits thanks to your talents.
Now, here’s how to spend your talent points to get the popular (54/17/0) Arms Warrior leveling build:
As a bonus, I want to recommend some Glyphs that are great to supplement your Arms Warrior build to increase your leveling speed:
Glyph of Mortal Strike – Increases the damage of your Mortal Strike ability by 10%.
Mortal Strike is one of your most important skills. Every bonus is great!
Glyph of Rending - Increases the duration of your Rend ability by 6 sec.
The Arms Warrior leveling build relies to some extend on your rending damage.
Glyph of Execution - Your Execute ability deals damage as if you had 10 additional rage.
Always relevant.
I hope you got the idea and have lots of fun leveling with your Arms Warrior leveling build. It’s one of the most popular builds and a tried-and-true method to get from level 1-80 really fast.
