Tier Sets

Midnight Season 2 Arms Warrior Tier Set Bonuses:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Mortal Strike and Execute damage increased by 10% and when you Slam a target, Slam also deals damage to all enemies within 8 yards of your target. Deals reduced damage beyond 5 targets.
  • (4) Set Bonus: Overpower damage increased by 15%. Mortal Strike and Overpower increase the damage of your next Slam by 20%, stacking up to 5 times.

Tier Set Discussion:

A fairly boring tier set all things considered. The 4 set promotes playing around the stacks and trying to hold for a Heroic Strike proc as much as possible. The extra AoE damage from the 2 set is fairly negligible but a nice little bonus all the same.

Trinkets

Raid trinkets seem more powerful than M+ trinkets in this season. The trinkets you’ll ideally want are:

If you can’t get either of these then here are some decent alternatives:

Embellishments

Your character can only equip two Embellishments at once. The best craft slots and Embellishments for Arms are:

Early on in the patch it may prove useful to craft a weapon if you don’t believe you’ll have easy access to either a Myth track weapon or the Heroic Cantrip weapon from The Venomous Abyss.

Nebulous Voidcores (Bonus Rolls)

The Midnight Season 2 Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcore) will be available from the start of the season as an alternative reward from your Great Vault. More sources for the bonus rolls will become available later into the Season.

Nebulous Voidcore Bonus Rolls let you target specific loot from a Raid Boss or Mythic+ Dungeon; once an item is received via Bonus Loot, that item is removed from the Bonus Loot Pool.

Below are the High Priority bonus roll target items and where they drop from:

Source / Drop Difficulty Target Item
The Coiled Altar (The Venomous Abyss) Mythic Maze-Roa, Warlord's Fury
The Coiled Altar (The Venomous Abyss) Heroic Maze-Roa, Warlord's Fury
