Best Arms Warrior PvP Races
Alliance
Human
If you plan to choose Alliance as your faction for Arms Warrior in Cataclysm PvP, Human is your best option out of both factions. Will to Survive is used as a trinket players can use instead of using the original PvP trinket purchased from the PvP vendors for Season 9. Also, choosing this racial allows you to pair your PvP Badge with Heart of Rage. This will help Warriors reach expertise cap easier.
Substitute Trinket
Will to Survive as a racial ability has identical effects as the current Season 9 PvP trinket, Vicious Gladiator’s Medallion of Tenacity, which removes your character from any Crowd Control you are in. Having this racial be your substitute PvP trinket offers the opportunity to use multiple PvP On-Use Trinkets, Vicious Gladiator’s Badge of Victory, to provide additional throughput during your burst windows to your enemy targets.
Horde
Orc
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Arms Warrior in Cataclysm PvP, Orc is your best option to choose from. Hardiness and Blood Fury provide strong survivability and throughput when in PvP combat, and is a strong competitor with the human racial. Most players will be choosing Human over Orc to have better optimization with gearing.
Hardiness Racial
Hardiness‘s ability grants a player passive 15% stun reduction. Stuns used on you being a shorter duration as well as the use of a PvP trinket allows you to slip away from danger quicker. This will assist in making your character more active during an arena match.
Blood Fury Racial
Orc is provided with an On-Use racial, Blood Fury, which grants Attack Power to you for a short amount of time. This can be paired with your burst cooldowns like Colossus Smash or Bladestorm to provide additional damage throughput to your enemy targets.
