Level 60 Arms Warrior PvP build

This is a 31/20 Arms/Fury PvP build: Mortal Strike is the core win condition because the 50% healing reduction forces healers into bad trades, while Impale, Deep Wounds, Improved Overpower, Cruelty and full Weaponmaster make axe crits dangerous. Improved Tactical Mastery and Anger Management keep stance dancing playable, Improved Hamstring gives random roots, Piercing Howl gives an AoE peel/chase tool, and Iron Will/Blood Craze/Enrage add short-fight durability.

Dark Edge of Insanity is the centerpiece: it is an axe for Weaponmaster, has high DPS, strong strength/stamina, and the disorient proc can steal games. The PvP gloves are mandatory because cheaper Hamstring means more uptime. The set keeps roughly the PvP hit target through shoulders, belt, legs, boots and Band of Unnatural Forces, then stacks stamina, crit and attack power. Slayer’s Crest is your kill-window trinket; Defiler’s Talisman is the defensive flex pick for surviving counter-burst.

On the survival curve, the practical knee is around balance 50: about 2940 HP from gear at only ~2% throughput loss. Going to 60 buys a large extra health jump, but costs about 8% throughput and drops hit, which is too much for a Warrior that must land Hamstring, Pummel and Mortal Strike. This gear sits near that PvP middle ground rather than pure glass cannon.

Play aggressively: keep Battle Shout up, Charge or Intercept to connect, immediately Hamstring, apply Rend to enable Bloodthrill pressure and stop resets, then keep Mortal Strike rolling. Save Pummel for casts, use Sweeping Strikes when enemies stack, and use Slayer’s Crest with Mortal Strike/Overpower/Raging Blow burst. Use Enraged Regeneration when low, preferably during Enrage or Berserker Rage windows.
