Fundamentals of pressure and target switching

Arms doesn't just want to stick to the first target and persist until he dies. The spec value grows when you:

1. identifies who is most punishable
2. enter to force response
3. leave the risk without losing the exchange
4. return in the next window

How to enter and exit risk efficiently

1. Don't get out of position with your partner
2. don't spend everything on the first contact
3. know when to take a few steps back without abandoning the fight
4. Treat repositioning as part of the damage

Correct use of offensive and defensive cooldowns

Good offensive strength response. Good defense keeps you alive for the next exchange.

The most common mistake beginner Arms makes is using offense too early and defensive too late.
