Arms Warrior Levelling Build (Level 10-60) — WoW Forever Talents & Order

The Arms Warrior, from level 10 to 60

From level 10 to level 60 you place 51 talent points, one per level. This levelling order equips the Arms Warrior early: Improved Rend and Deflection open the road, Deep Wounds comes at level 20, then Spearing Strike at 25 and Two-Handed Weapon Specialization for your two-handed weapon. Mortal Strike is taken at level 40, and from level 42 most of the points go into the Fury tree, with Cruelty, Unbridled Wrath and Enrage.

In total 32 points go into Arms and 19 points go into Fury.

The camp: the rested XP bonus you should never skip

Always level with a camp. The Basic Campfire Kit only needs Cooking 1, so anyone can set it up: it builds a campfire that cooks food and holds up to 3 camp features around it. A character who sits or crafts near the fire for a minute gets the effects of those features.

For levelling, the one to place is the Camp Tent: it gives characters sitting nearby 5% of a level in rested experience, unless their reserve already exceeds that. It needs a campfire close by, and all camp effects share a one-hour cooldown.

So set up the fire and the tent at the start of every session, again once the hour is up, and think of it before you log out. The tent is crafted with Leatherworking 20: if that is not your profession, ask a leatherworker in your guild for one. The other camp features of each profession are detailed in the camp section of our professions by class article.

Recommended professions for the Warrior

Two combos work for levelling this spec: each pairs a crafting profession with the gathering profession that feeds it. Every name opens its full guide.

These picks also aim at level 60 before the raids; the class-by-class detail is in our professions by class article.
