WoW Wrath Classic: Arms Warrior PvE Guide (WotLK)

gamerant.com:

The Arms Specialization is the 2-handed weapon-wielding melee damage-dealer of the Warrior Class in World of Warcraft Classic Wrath of the Lich King. They have good single-target and multi-target damage, and some of the best 2-target Cleave damage in the game. They provide the Trauma and Blood Frenzy debuffs on targets that aids with other physical damage dealers and classes that apply bleeds.

At the beginning of the expansion, their performance is excellent, and they maintain moderate damage later on as well. But other classes' damage increases much more as there is access to better gear. In the later phases of WoW WotLK Classic, Fury becomes the go-to spec for DPS Warriors as more Armor Penetration and Crit Rating becomes available.

The Races that are preferred for Arms Warriors are Draenei for the Alliance and Orc for the Horde.

Glyph of Rending is a great boost to bleed damage and helps with managing the Bleed effect from Rend effect. Glyph of Heroic Strike helps with rage generation. And Glyph of Execution is a flat damage boost to Execute.

Glyph of Thunder Clap increases range and can improve AoE damage. Glyph of Bloodrage provides a minor benefit to help mitigate damage.

The third Minor Glyph is often a choice between the following:

The biggest contributor to Arms Warrior damage is the DPS on the Main Hand Weapon. In general, when choosing between pieces of gear it's usually better to go for the item with a higher item level as it will have more stats overall. There are Hit Rating and Expertise caps that are also important to reach, and to a lesser extent Armor Penetration as well.
