One-Button Arms Warrior Guide: Patch 11.2.5 One-Button DPS Build
This is a single-button DPS build guide for Arms Warriors in the 11.2.5 patch of World of Warcraft. This guide covers everything you need to set up your SBA Arms Warrior in minutes, including stats, talents, and rotation. SBA automates the entire rotation, including Mortal Strike, Overpower, and Execute, while the player manually manages the main cooldown, Avatar. This is a simple, powerful, and beginner-friendly way to play Arms Warrior, allowing you to focus on cooldown timing and combat.
1. 💪 Arms Warrior Stat Priority: Item Level, Crit, Haste, Mastery, Versatility
- ✅ The most important stat is Item Level. Higher item level provides more Strength.
- ✅ The second most important stat is Critical Strike. Arms Warriors have many talents that increase critical strike damage and chance.
- ✅ Third is Haste. Haste increases rage generation and reduces the global cooldown, making the rotation smoother.
- ✅ Mastery increases Deep Wounds damage.
- ✅ Versatility increases damage and reduces damage taken, but is a lower priority compared to Critical Strike and Haste.
| Stat | Effect |
|---|---|
| Strength | Increases Attack Power |
| Critical Strike | Increases Critical Strike Damage and Chance |
| Haste | Increases Rage Generation, Reduces Global Cooldown |
| Mastery | Increases Deep Wounds Damage |
| Versatility | Increases Damage, Reduces Damage Taken |

2. ⚔️ Arms Warrior Talent Build: Colossus Build for Dungeons/Exploration vs. Slayer Build for Raids
- ✅ Colossus Build for Dungeons and Exploration: Specialized for dealing with multiple enemies or self-healing. Uses the Demolish skill and allows for powerful self-healing through the Veteran Vitality talent.
- ✅ Slayer Build for Raids: Specialized for single-target damage. Has passive effects that increase Bladestorm and Execute damage.
- ✅ Both builds use the Second Wind talent. Second Wind restores health if you don't take damage for 5 seconds, and restores health every second when health is below 35%, increasing survivability.
- ✅ Talent builds can be imported from Discord.
| Build | Features | Key Talents |
|---|---|---|
| Colossus (Dungeon/Exploration) | Area Damage, Self-Healing | Demolish, Veteran Vitality |
| Slayer (Raid) | Single Target Damage | Bladestorm Damage Increase, Execute Damage Increase |

3. 🔄 Arms Warrior Rotation: How to Use Single Button Assistant (SBA)
- ✅ Dungeon Build Rotation: Battle Shout -> Charge -> Avatar -> Spam the single button (1). Use Avatar whenever the cooldown is up.
- ✅ Raid Build Rotation: Battle Shout -> Charge -> Avatar -> Spam the single button (1). Use Avatar whenever the cooldown is up.
- ✅ The single button assistant uses skills such as Cleave, Demolish, Execute, Heroic Throw, Mortal Strike, Overpower, Ravager, Rend, Slam, Sweeping Strikes, Thunder Strike, Thunderous Roar, Warbreaker.
- ✅ In dungeons, use Pummel (3) to interrupt enemy skills, Heroic Leap to get out of the fire, and Impending Victory for self-healing.
- ✅ Berserker Rage grants immunity to fear, charm, and incapacitate effects, and Die by the Sword reduces damage taken and increases Parry chance.
- ✅ When party members have low health, use Rallying Cry to increase maximum health, and when multiple enemies are casting skills, use Shockwave or Storm Bolt to interrupt.
- ✅ Use Hamstring to slow down enemies chasing the healer.
- ✅ In the raid build, it may appear that you are using Bladestorm due to the Slayer talent, but it is actually a passive effect that deals additional attacks.
- ✅ You can still use Pummel to interrupt skills while casting Bladestorm.

| Battle Shout | Increases Attack Power by 5% |
| Charge | Gains 20 Rage, Damage |
