The most impactful addition by far is the introduction of Dampfwalze, a returning Fury Artifact trait from the Legion expansion. Although not available to Arms at the time, it works perfectly with the specs Hinrichten mechanics, and even better alongside Verurteilen during the Dragonflight pre-patch.

Machtprobe is another returning ability, this one from the Battle for Azeroth expansion. Although not as potent as the azerite power it's based on, it effectively extends the duration of Arms major cooldown, greatly helping sustained damage and synergizing very well with high rage intensity Execute mechanics.

Blut und Donner is actually a class talent, but interacts especially with Arms' Verwunden to allow applying the debuff to groups of enemies at a time. Alongside several bleed enhancing talents across both talent trees, this helps restore Arms' long running theme of heavy bleed damage.

Avatar and its follow-on talents, Qual des Kriegsfürsten and Qual des Klingenmeisters, are a returning legendary effect from Shadowlands, now split into two reliable talents instead of one random legendary effect. These talents all go a long way to increasing Arms' burst cooldown damage in both single and multitarget.

Best Talent Builds for Arms Warrior in Dragonflight Pre-patchDue to bugs between Test of Might and effects which extend the duration of Colossus Smash, Machtprobe is not recommended while using Enduring Blows or Sinful Surge (Unity).Best Rotation for Arms Warrior in Dragonflight Pre-Patch

Maintain the Verwunden debuff, refreshing when it has less than 4 seconds remaining.

Avatar alongside Kolossales Schmettern for greatly increased damage amplifications.

Verurteilen as much as possible when the target is above 80%, below 35%, or whenever Plötzlicher Tod procs.

Tödlicher Stoß is only used periodically to maintain the Meisterschaft: Tiefe Wunden debuff.

Überwältigen is a free filler which buffs Mortal Strike damage, but is primarily used to maintain the rotation when not in danger of overcapping Rage (under 70).

Outside of the Execute phases, Tödlicher Stoß and Zerschmettern are used as the primary rage spenders instead of Condemn, but all other rotational considerations continue to apply.

Best Covenant for Arms Warrior in Dragonflight Pre-PatchIn all cases, talents override and disable conduits they share similar effects with

Aschene Dampfwalze conduit is overriden by the Juggernaut talent, despite having different effects. However, Entsetzliche Bestrafung does continue to work alongside it.

Tödliche Combo conduit is also overriden by the Exhilarating Blows talent, despite having different effects.

Gnadenloser Knochenmahler has been nerfed to ~56% at max rank, which is slightly higher than the talented version, although the talent also affects Cleave, making it much better for some builds.

Tiefen des Wahnsinns does not affect the Recklessness triggered by Warlord's Torment.

Inspirierende Präsenz is outright better than the talented version.

Another awesome guide, thanks Archi.

Small inconsistency where Mikanikos is recommended for M+ and so is Sinful Surge via Unity (different covenants).

What about unhinged legendary in m+?

Right now, Test of Might will be activated after the baseline time of Colossus Smash would have ended, no matter how long the debuff is through Sinful Surge/Enduring Blow.
Worse than that, if the target still has the debuff and you use Colossus Smash again, you won’t get Test of Might. So I would recommend going for In For The Kill instead.
Otherwise great guide, finally back to Venthyr <3

imo drop 10% overpower dam and pick up sweeping strikes, there's plenty of opportunities for sweeping strikes to be good
