Arms Warrior DPS Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — 12.0.5

Of the unique-equipped Diamonds, the Indecipherable Eversong Diamond is generally strongest, which also means not having to worry about juggling different colored gems for extra meta bonuses.

Critical Strike and Haste are generally the best stats for Arms Warriors, so Flawless Quick Garnet or Flawless Deadly Peridot should be filled into every other slot. If your gear already has a lot of Haste, use the one that provides more Crit, and vice versa.

In addition to enchants, players can also apply temporary augments to their weapons, two-hour long buffs that increase their damage or statistics. While they last through death, these bonuses are not permanent and must be reapplied. Thalassian Phoenix Oil should be used for more secondary stats.

Several enchants present a choice between prioritizing Leech, Speed, or Avoidance enchantments, which largely comes down to personal preference, as all three provide only minor and largely interchangeable benefits.

Gear Information

Best in Slot Gear and Where to Get It

Before applying gems and enchants to your equipment, make sure to check whether there might be an easy-to-get item that is better than the one you're currently wearing!

Gear

• Best Flask: Flask of the Shattered Sun or Flask of the Blood Knights
• Best Combat Potion: Potion of Recklessness is the best combat potion, though it requires very careful allocation of stats to ensure Critical Strike is highest and Versatility is minimized, making Light's Potential much simpler to use.
• Best Healing Potion: Silvermoon Health Potion should be used for healing.
• Best Foods: Harandar Celebration is the best feast. Personal food such as Royal Roast provides the same offensive benefit, but lacks bonus stamina.
• Augment Rune: Void-Touched Augment Rune is the best and only augment rune currently available in Midnight.

The Void-Touched Augment Rune is the best and only augment rune currently available in Midnight.
