Talent Tree

Everything marked with red is mandatory, no skipping. Green – situational.

What will you take in the tier 1-2 Arms tree is totally up to you.

Talents like Rampage or Precision are situational. Precision is useless if you have good gear with a hit cap. Rampage does not stack with other Warriors Rampage and similar effects.
