About the Author
Hello, I'm
Porom
a Mage player in <Divergence>. I have been playing WoW on and off since release and am an active staff member in the
Altered-Time
discord. I have played at the top end in the earlier expansions of WoW but now I prefer to keep my raiding time short and efficient. I stream my guild's raids and some dungeons every now and again over at
twitch
. You can also find me in the
Arcane Dream
discord.
Kyrian Changes for 9.2.5 for Arcane Mages
奥术冲击
- Blasts the target with energy, dealing (
45.7
50.27% of Spell power) Arcane damage. Each Arcane Charge increases damage by 60% and mana cost by 100%, and reduces cast time by 8%.
奥术飞弹
- Launches five waves of Arcane Missiles at the enemy over 2.5 sec, causing a total of 40.5 43.74% of Spell power)] Arcane damage.
节能施法
can no longer be dispelled.
Ultimately this is a welcome buff to our single target but probably does not do much to change the meta for mages. Incidentally this does change when you AoE or when you single target as Kyrian during burst to 7+ for AoE. Clearcasting dispels will also be a nice buff whenever Arcane becomes viable in PvP.
Kyrian Changes for 9.2 for Arcane Mages
谐律回响
now deals 25% damage instead of 30% but also hits the primary target in addition to it's previous effect.
Second legendary access added on week 5 of the patch and Kyrian continues to win big on the borrowed power lottery.
谐律回响
provides a large boost in both single target and AoE. The only downside to this legendary is that it changes the rotation in a strange way; in 9.1, you would always want to queue
奥术弹幕
after your 5th
奥术冲击
cast post-
璀璨火花
. However
谐律回响
only triggers it's effect 5 total times after
璀璨火花
is cast, this means instead of queueing
奥术弹幕
we instead want to pause briefly after the 4th
奥术冲击
following
璀璨火花
, allow the stack count on our
璀璨火花
debuff to hit 4, then
奥术弹幕
to ensure that gets the max value of both
璀璨火花
and
谐律回响
. Confused? Check out the rotation section!
There were no changes for 9.1.5 for Kyrian as of writing this.
Kyrian Changes for 9.1 for Arcane Mages
New Covenant Legendary item:
谐律回响
.
All Soulbinds have four new rows: one guaranteed Potency row, one Endurance/Finesse row, two new Traits and a new capstone.
All Soulbinds received some tuning changes:
Pelagos
战斗冥想
's Mastery reduced by 10%.
Kleia
勇气外露
's chance to critically strike for every nearby enemy or ally increased to 2% (was 1%), up to 6% (was 5%).
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos
The amount of spells and abilities required to summon Bron with
行动的召唤:布隆
has been reduced to 75 (was 90). Additionally, Bron's damage and healing has increased by 10%.
灵钢之钳
now reduces duration of stun and incapacitate effects by 15% (was 30%).
闪亮的流波之球核心
cooldown increased to 1 minute (was 45 seconds) and now triggers at 30% health (was 35%).
Kyrian Arcane Mage Covenant Abilities
Kyrian Arcane Mage Class Ability:
璀璨火花
Kyrian Mages gain
璀璨火花
: a stacking damage boost on a short cooldown. You should line this up with
大法师之触
and
能量符文
at all times, consuming the stacks with five
奥术冲击
s and then an
奥术弹幕
immediately after the final Blast (both then benefit from the highest damage stack). Remember to never use
奥术飞弹
while Radiant Spark is active, as a single cast will consume every stack.
Kyrian Arcane Mage Conduit:
晋升者的愤懑
We can enhance Radiant Spark with the
晋升者的愤懑
Conduit, which simply adds some damage. It doesn't change how we use the ability, but is a very strong Potency choice that you should always use.
Arcane Mage Conduit Guide
Kyrian Arcane Mage Signature Ability:
召唤执事者
Kyrian Arcane Mages can use
召唤执事者
to call a Steward (owlboi) to their side. The Steward not only offers what is effectively a
治疗石
with a cleanse effect tied in, but also a variety of amenities like repairs, a talent swap and
complimenting your friends
.
There's not a lot to be said about this; Mages, with
操控时间
,
棱光护体
,
寒冰屏障
,
镜像
and
强化隐形术
, hardly need another defensive, and Ice Block serves as a debuff cleanse. The
静谧之瓶
is most useful if we really need a burst of healing, rather than damage absorption, or to cleanse a debuff without blowing Ice Block (Bleeds are very common in Castle Nathria) - it's not the most useful Covenant Signature ability, but it's far from the worst.
Kyrian Exclusive Legendary for Arcane Mages
The new Covenant-specific legendary for Arcane Mages is
谐律回响
, which turns
璀璨火花
into a cleave spell, echoing damage dealt to the primary target to four of its nearby allies. This could be interesting, but the way Kyrian Arcane currently plays relies on
奥术祥和
to launch a heavily buffed
奥术弹幕
at targets instead, which is more powerful cleave than this legendary can provide.
Other Legendary Interactions for Kyrian Arcane Mages
You should always, always use
奥术祥和
as a Kyrian Arcane Mage. Consuming the last stack of Radiant Spark with a buffed
奥术弹幕
increases Barrage's damage to all targets hit, not only the primary enemy. Playing this correctly is
essential
to your performance.
Watch
this video by Theamara
for more information, although bare in mind it's from 9.0.5 so is a little out of date, but the core principles remain the same. Preheat has also released
a much longer video
, if you have time to watch it.
Arcane Mage Legendary Guide
Best Kyrian Arcane Mage Soulbinds
Best Kyrian Arcane Mage Renown 80 Soulbind
The choices remain the same at maximum Renown:
Pelagos
for raiding and for dungeons. You can also use
Mikanikos
on fights where you'd struggle to activate Pelagos'
崭新决心
(i.e. there's a lot going on and you don't want to take time to turn and face the Doubt).
Pelagos
is the best Soulbind for raiding content at maximum Renown. He has several strong DPS traits, a reasonable defensive and two Endurance slots - and gets it all without sacrificing a Potency Conduit.
Mikanikos
is the best Soulbind for M+ content at maximum Renown. He has several strong DPS traits, a big reason for this is the cooldown reduction on
璀璨火花
and the damage that provides.
The Conduits in the Soulbind calculators above are in priority order for empowerment as you move to higher Renown levels, i.e.
晋升者的愤懑
, then
大法师的印记
.
Arcane Mage Conduits Guide
Kyrian Arcane Mage Rotation Changes
This page only highlights the specific use case of the class and signature abilities. To see how they fit within the context of the entire spec, we encourage you to check the other pages in the guide related to the context you are looking for:
Arcane Mage Rotation Guide
Playing a Kyrian Arcane Mage optimally relies on having
奥术祥和
and using it with
璀璨火花
. Build to at 18 Arcane Harmony stacks before activating cooldowns, then use
奥术冲击
and
奥术弹幕
together to consume the final stack.
The Radiant Spark debuff starts off at a 0% damage increase, so you cast
five
Arcane Blasts to consume all the stacks (not four), launching the Arcane Barrage immediately after the fifth.
You can follow the same rotation in AoE if there's a priority target, but only cast four
奥术冲击
s,
奥术弹幕
, then
奥术宝珠
>
奥术弹幕
before your cooldowns fade. Without a priority target, replace Arcane Blast with
魔爆术
.
Your Kyrian priority list is:
奥术弹幕
with >15
奥术祥和
stacks and 4 x
奥术充能
奥术宝珠
at two or fewer Arcane Charges
奥术冲击
at >1 but <4
奥术充能
(
奥术宝珠
will generate the initial charges before your
奥术冲击
)
奥术飞弹
to generate
奥术祥和
stacks
奥术冲击
to burn mana
This means that, unless you need to burn mana,
奥术飞弹
is effectively your filler spell. The full rotation is a bit more complicated and can be found in the rotation section.
9.2.5 Changes
AoE rotation begins at 7 targets. Pure single target prefers 5AB and queueing Barrage again.
9.2 Changes
When you have
谐律回响
unlocked to use as a second legendary, you will cast 4
奥术冲击
, pause briefly, then cast
奥术弹幕
after using
璀璨火花
. You can also utilize
气定神闲
on the
奥术冲击
before
奥术弹幕
to avoid having to pause (basically, you don't want
奥术冲击
and
奥术弹幕
to cast at the same time anymore). You will also use
奥能回响
in pure single target and cast
奥术飞弹
after your
璀璨火花
combo.
Below are two video examples, the first is utilizing
气定神闲
to avoid the queueing issue with
奥术弹幕
on the final cast of
璀璨火花
. The second video shows the full opener using the pausing method instead.
Kyrian Arcane Mage Talent Builds
You will always use
共鸣
as a Kyrian Arcane Mage, but the rest of the build is very cookie cutter. Once you obtain 4-set in Sepulcher of the First Ones, you will use
奥能回响
in pure single target only.
Arcane Mage Talents
Kyrian Arcane Mage Gearing Differences
As a Kyrian Mage, Haste deserves some special considerations: simulations will generally only give you enough to spend your mana and land the Radiant Spark combo. However, the simulations play at 10 yards distance, you may need to play further for various reasons and it is for this reason that I generally advise people to equip more haste than what the simulation uses, if it uses a low number.
The reason for this discussion is centered around how
大法师之触
snapshots damage dealt only during it's duration and the travel time of spells like
奥术飞弹
,
奥术宝珠
, and especially
奥术弹幕
when buffed by the final stack of
璀璨火花
. Additional haste is needed the further you are from your target in order to land
奥术弹幕
inside
大法师之触
after your 5
奥术冲击
.
My advice in this regard is to never go below 12% in any situation and always try to be as close to your target as possible. This 12% number is arbitrary and can be lower or higher depending on your comfort level, I personally enjoy being 14-16% to that I can be further from my target without missing Barrage inside of Touch of the Magi at various ranges required by encounters, additional haste can also help account for any errors in casting caused by mechanics causing some minor movement during the combo.
In terms of trinkets, the best options are an appropriately ilvl
释魂红玉
,
禁断通灵法典
or
不可思议的量子装置
. Other Sanctum of Domination trinkets don't really play to our strengths; we're looking for 1.5-minute cooldown on-use trinkets that give a stat boost, combined with a stat stick.
泰坦之眼腺体
can be a replacement stat stick but the only other on-use item that gives stats is
暗影折磨宝珠
, which is a 2-minute cooldown and provides a low amount of stats for a long period - we prefer a short burst of big stats. But to be certain you should always sim your gear using the Top Gear function on raidbots or the simulationcraft program.
Arcane Mage Gear
Kyrian Arcane Mage Soulbinds Explained
All Kyrian players have access to the same three Soulbinds:
Pelagos
,
Kleia
and
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos
. They are the NPCs you complete the zone story with, and allow you to 'attune' yourself to them to gain access to a tree of upgrades centered around your base toolkit (through Conduits) and Covenant abilities (through special, game-wide traits).
This tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your Renown level with the Kyrian Covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential Conduits to use. Bear in mind that Endurance and Finesse Conduit choice will largely depend on which encounter you're progressing on, as their value changes dramatically based on the requirements they enforce.
A generalized recommendation is that you use Pelagos in any situation where you have cleave, even if intermittent only, Mikanikos in pure single target situations, and Kleia whenever you would prefer 2-minute AP over 90-second AP.
Pelagos has a great DPS trait for Arcane Mages right at the top of his tree:
战斗冥想
increases our Mastery when we use
璀璨火花
, with a one-minute internal cooldown.
放下过去
is a magic damage reduction buff that stacks quickly. Using the same ability twice in a row won't clear the buff, it just won't increase the stack count.
强强联手
is a Mastery increase when we stack with another party member. Not as common for ranged as it is for melee, but the buff is long and you should be able to keep this active for a reasonable amount of the fight.
崭新决心
is Pelagos' capstone talent. Very easy to maintain as we can simply turn to look at the Doubt during a cast.
Mastery is a great stat for Arcane, so two of Pelagos' traits are powerful.
放下过去
is also pretty strong - especially for progression raiding when incoming damage is high - although difficult for Arcane to maintain, as the spec likes to just spam
奥术冲击
or
奥术飞弹
. The best part about Pelagos is that you can pick up his damage trait without missing out on any Potency slots.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Kleia only has a few DPS traits, but they're strong enough to carry her in multi-target scenarios. She also has a lot of traits that are useful for the group in terms of healing and shields:
骁勇打击
grants a stacking buff when you or your group members land a crit, which is consumed when anyone falls below 50% health to heal them for 1% per stack. It has no effect on DPS, but your healers will love you for it.
勇气外露
increases our chance to crit for every nearby enemy or ally, up to 5%. A strong talent in a group or when we're up in melee range to AoE, and worth skipping Kleia's second Potency slot to pick up.
执政官之矛
grants 3% crit when damaging an enemy above 90% health. This is a tiny amount of crit and will probably only be active for a very small amount of a raid fight, but it does add up in dungeon content;
希望永存
is probably more useful for the group, though. It's worth noting that if you take Spear you can potentially pick up all three Endurance Conduits.
照亮道路
grants critical strike for each stack of
骁勇打击
, as well as a 5% crit boost when it's consumed. Not the most exciting capstone, but a strong one.
An example tree can be seen below:
Mikanikos' tree is mostly based around defensives and utility, but he does start off with a strong ability.
行动的召唤:布隆
summons Mikanikos' robot buddy, Bron, to attack your target and heal your group. Very strong for Arcane, as each target hit by
奥术弹幕
generates a stack, however a relatively weaker soulbind trait overall.
掌炉大师的滤网
is a useful passive survivability buff, as long as you remember to have the Phial in your bags.
源生重槌
grants up to 15% haste and is great in Mythic+ environments. You have to decide between
奥术奇才
or
大法师的印记
using this; generally I recommend Brand in pick-up groups and Prodigy in organised content.
灵魂光谱仪
is effectively a stacking 1%-5% damage buff every 15 seconds. Strong on long-lived enemies, not great in dungeon content.
溢流心能加速器
turns
璀璨火花
into an AoE. The cooldown reduction is only useful if we can hit 4+ targets, to fit another cast in before our next
能量符文
/
大法师之触
burn.
溢流心能加速器
doesn't give enough cooldown reduction to worry about in single-target fights, but changes the AoE rotation a bit. With this trait, you can use the following AoE rotation:
魔爆术
x 2 >
璀璨火花
>
魔爆术
x 2 >
奥术弹幕
>
奥术宝珠
>
奥术弹幕
You should aim to maximise your Potency choices if using Mikanikos, so the following build path is very static:
Double Legendaries for Kyrian Arcane Mage
Patch 9.2 adds the option of using two legendaries at the same time, with the restriction that one of them is your Covenant legendary. This change empowers Kyrian Arcane Mage even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

So you write a guide to say that you have no idea how mages should play around Radiant Spark? That's yet another pointless WoWHead page there.
Personnaly i use Radiant Spark with Arcane Harmony since what you can snapshot barrage even in the middle of your missiles when you hit the 4th stack of vulnerability for crazy one shot in pvp. Also in dungeons you can charge Arcane Harmony on another target if you have 2 clearcast proc stored to finish off your aoe combo with an insane 50k barrage back on your target.
You are writing a guide just for the sake of it without any insight. Well played my friend

For anyone looking at this article post-9.0.5. Much of this is either missing information or untrue just due to the current Kyrian arcane mage build not being widely known at the time of writing. Kyrian arcane mage playstyle is actually drastically different than with other covenants and revolves around the arcane harmony legendary, which works very well with the specific style of burst that radiant spark provides. Theamara, who popularized the build recently, has a video on it here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB0vCAqYkSA
. This build worked before 9.0.5, but due to kyrian buffs and arcane harmony buffs, has become fairly popular and could potentially be our best covenant in some scenarios. If you want sims to back this up, Theamara provides an updated APL in their video's description.
Honestly, its quite funny that another commenter, Josayghtte, mentioned the base concept of this build and was ignored and downvoted at the time. just goes to show how its never really obvious how to best play a spec when adding a new tool to its toolkit. Especially for a less-popular spec such as arcane.
UPDATE: this guide has been finally updated. would still just reccomend looking at theamara's guide instead, since this one is very vague and doesnt really explain the build at all, but its better than it was. would love to see the rest of the arcane guides updated though, since as it stands they're all still promoting a lot of the same misinformation that this guide had before.
