Warrior PvP Guide / Tips
Spec & Talents
A.Spec
Arms as usual is the way to go for PvP right now, I haven't really been able to test Fury much.
B.
Talents.
First Tier
I actually go with Juggernaut over Double Time
The reason why Double Time is not as good as people think is because there are so many little stuns or CC or get-away abilities, you're basically Charge on CD in Arena, which means you'll never have time to allow Double Time to fully Charge, after the first 3 Charges, you're basically sitting on a 20 second "normal" Charge. Warbringer is pretty much useless.
1.Juggernaut
2. Double Time
3. Warbringer
Second Tier
Second Wind is honestly amazing, by far better than the other 2 options which frankly don't even deserve to be mentioned.
1. Second Wind
Third Tier
Piercing Howl for me is the best option here, to me it should of been baseline years ago, and Blizzard know it as well, but that's neither here nor there.
The other 2 are far too situational, they can have a small niche use in Arena because of the comp you can see your against, but the reality is in this game that it doesn't matter what kind of utility an ability has, if your unable to stick to a target to do damage, than that ability has no use.
I would maybe consider switching them around if I was against a melee or caster cleave, but to be honest Piercing Howl might still be better in those situations since a Warrior can interrupt far more by sticking to their target (something PH helps with) than either of the utility these abilities offer.
I rate Staggering Shout over Disrupting because if you root 2 casters near a pillar, your partner can just LoS them, which ultimately is better than the silence anyway.
1. Piercing Howl
2. Staggering Shout
3. Disrupting Shout.
Fourth Tier
Shockwave is by far the best talent here, it's not even a close contest. Whenever I see a Warrior with Dragon Roar in Arena, I shake my head in dismay.
Not only does Shockwave have a significantly shorter CD, it has more utility as well and can crit really high as well (I've crit over 110k with Shockwave), not as high as Dragon Roar will crit, but with the CD and utility on top of that, it's not even a close contest.
I saw a Warrior with Bladestorm in Arena today, I laughed, it does no damage, it has no real utility.
1. Shockwave
2. Dragon Roar
3. Bladestorm
Fifth Tier
I actually prefer Safeguard over Mass Spell Reflect, I ran with MSR for about the first 20 or so games I did, but I do not like the limited range it has, plus Safeguard has some really nice functions, it breaks your roots meaning you can keep your mobility up without wasting a Dispel on a Nova/Root and it gives a 20% damage reduction (which is actually huge) on your target, sometimes you can save a partner's CD just by using Safeguard and that is massive.
MSR definitely has it's uses and Safeguard isn't 10x better (MSR can save your partner as well if you manage to reflect a Deep, or save his trinket if you reflect a CC), so this partly comes down to which you prefer, but in my opinion Safeguard is the better and more reliable talent. Vigilance has no use in PvP, cooldown is too long and no utility.
1. Safeguard
2. Mass Spell Reflect
3. Vigilance
The Avatar Tier
As the name suggestions, there isn't really an option here, there is 1 god-like talent up against 2 mediocre talents.
Stormbolt is mediocre, it's one of the worst talents I've ever seen in this game, please remove it, it offends my sight.
C.
Glyphs
Personally the Glyphs I use are:
"Death from Above", which in my opinion is a required glyph, not a choice.
"Glyph of Mortal strike", which again is probably required, and helps your healer a lot +more heals from second wind
Warrior PvP Guide
The next one is kinda personal preference, right now I have "Colossus Smash" glyph, because 3 applications of Sunder increases your damage by a lot , Hindering strikes Is also a good option.
Shield Wall glyph is now an option as well, since it's not our only defensive CD now, it might actually be a very good glyph to have now, Spell Reflection glyph as well is a decent, viable option.
As I said, I'd rate "Death from Above" and "Glyph of mortal strike" as being required, other than that you can really choose what you want, I personally go with Colossus Smash, but I'd probably change it to Shield Wall if I knew I was coming up against a team which was gonna train me all game.
The "Intimidating Shout" minor glyph is required, but other than that these are whatever you want.
