Stat Priorities

Crit > Haste > Mastery > Vers

It is highly recommended that you regularly sim your own character while gaining upgrades as this stat order will not always be accurate.

Stat Outline

Haste: Lowers swing timer, reduces global cooldown and reduces the cooldown of certain abilities (Mortal Strike, Cleave etc).

Crit: A chance to deal double damage with an ability. This is bigger for Colossus over Slayer because Colossus has additional Crit damage as part of the hero talent tree.

Mastery: Mortal Strike, Cleave and Bladestorm apply Deep Wounds to enemies struck. Deep Wounds causes you to deal additional damage to enemies it is applied to which scales with Mastery.

Versatility: Offers a damage dealt increase and damage taken increase. Similar to Mastery but scales worse per point of the stat.

Races

The best Arms Warrior Race for Horde is Tauren.

The best Arms Warrior Race for Alliance is Dwarf/Void Elf.

Ultimately, all races are regularly very close from a DPS perspective that you won’t notice a damage change when choosing a different race. Feel free to choose whichever race you like the look of the best. (Zanadalari Troll is the only choice here).

Enchants

Head: Enchant Helm - Rune Of Avoidance

Shoulder: Enchant Shoulders - Nature's Grace

Chest: Enchant Chest - Mark Of The Worldsoul

Legs: Blood Knight's Armor Kit

Boots: Enchant Boots - Lynx's Dexterity

Ring: Enchant Ring - Zul'jin's Mastery

Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Acuity Of The Ren'dorei

Gems

Ideally you’ll want one Diamond gem and a combination of as many other coloured gems as you can fit into your gear. Diamond gems have primary stat and an extra bonus based on how many unique colours of gems you have equipped.

Gem recommendations are:

Consumables

Food: Quel'dorei Medley/Silvermoon Parade

Flasks: Flask Of The Shattered Sun (Crit)

Potions: Potion Of Recklessness

Health Potions: Silvermoon Health Potion

Weapon Oil: Thalassian Phoenix Oil
