Welcome to the Study! Today I wanted to give everyone a full breakdown on the Kyrian dps cycle for raid and mythic+ content. This build relies on some super tight CD windows to give maximum dps, so you really got to play aggressively and always be aware of where you are at on harmony, charges, and mana.
Thank you for watching, and I’ll hopefully catch you next time in The Study!

Great video… zero disagreements
tnks verry informative. I dont think its my playstyle but gonna try it out.
Brofessor! You come through again! I was scouring your channel last night looking for this!
I have really been struggling with when to hold or use my CDs to maximize dps. I parsed a 97 on Hungering last night! A pug fire mage was actually giving me props! It felt great!
whats the ui or aura you use to show timer over the target for RS and TOTM ? 😅
thoughts on harmony vs arcanic cull? I think I like cull for m+ and harmony for raid. great vids btw. got me playing arcane a few weeks back, now I’m hooked to those massive numbers
Thinking about going Kyrian, but I play a bit differently. How does the Kyrian ability work with Missiles? Does it stack with each hit of the missiles or each cast in whole of missiles? So say i cast missiles once, it hits the target 5 times, does it trigger all 4 stacks of the % increase?
thanks i'm a new mage arcane and you help me a lot
Watching your videos I'm not sure if I should keep going with NF 🙁 I'm just 200ilvl
Really good videos btw.
GREAT video!!!! I do have questions regarding AoEing trash packs but I got the study's discord now so I'll bug you there.
prismatic shield should be made to proc clearcasting. cuz why not.
How would you compare Venthyr against Kyrian for big single target fights? Any preference there?
Niche question perhaps, but what chest enchant do you run? I'm using the 20 intellect and 6% mana but I dont know if that's better than the other enchants, any help is appreciated!
Really love the guide! I made the switch and been testing all morning on it. I noticed that having high mastery actually makes a noticeable difference.
In the video, you have 31% mastery, whereas I have 25%. While doing the rotation, I find myself running out the mana if I just follow the rotation spell-by-spell. This is more apparent if you look at radiance spark combo at around 5:17, you can see Brofessor just barely squeezes out that last arcane blast.
So if you are like me, and have lower mastery, you either have to rely more on mana gem or change up your rotation slightly (e.g., maybe use Evocation earlier). I am doing more testing, but already enjoy seeing higher raid ST damage compared to night fae when I'm not even comfortable with the build yet. That said, the rotation in M+ is also really different than NF, so I'm still working on getting a feel for the build there. I'm sure Brofessor will release a Kyrian M+ run with commentary soon, and I for one can't wait to attend the next study.
How do we even compete with fire? They seem to top both m+ (high level keys) and raid dps charts for mages…
I've always wondered why blizz holds back when it comes to fine-tuning arcane…maybe they think even the smallest benefit they provide arcane could make us OP and take our burst damage to a whole new level…
Hi bro, offtopic: since i dont like Kyiran play style, If i swap from NF to necro, is actually trolling, or my dps could be stable?
I was doing some testing today, and when I cast 5 blasts and a barrage my barrage isn't benefiting from the radiant spark buff. Is that intended in the rotation? or perhaps something that blizzard fixed with the interaction. When I do 4 blasts and a barrage into the radiant spark it does benefit the from the damage amp and I just wanted to know if I'm just doing something wrong or if blizzard fixed the interaction between being able to hit that 5th blast and have the barrage still benefit.
Oh my, such a great video!!
I was an arcane kyrian mage at the start of shadowlands, then switch to venthyr once I saw frost getting buffs. So glad that covenant is viable for arcane too after the 9.0.5 patch.
Venthyr Arcane guide coming soon?
Have you done any testing with having any lag or higher ms and trying to get in the 5 blasts and then barage even with 10% haste? I feel like I need to barage at 4 blasts regardless or how close I am sometimes even with 60ms and 10% haste. Maybe I’m not casting fast enough after I arc power too though I guess. I feel like I’m fine on the mini burns and I don’t click so not sure where I’m losing some cast time sometimes. On mythic sludge prog tonight so super excited to do well and put down the arcane haters.
Question: Do you delay the subsequent RS 15 sec to align with ToM/RoP or do a mini RS, ToM/RoP with missiles, another miniRS and then the big one?
Do you have a Necrolord guide?
you forgot arcane intellect buff
Do you not use PoM In the rotation? If so why not?
I like that Weak Aura of the Radiant and Magi could you share those links please?
Can you tell us where you got that arcane harmony counter?
I like this rotation, but its kidda impossible in a raid setting where you have to move alot ):
Hiya fella , after costing me a small fortune in gold , thanks for that 🙂 can you give me a link to your Weak Aura setup plz , im not hot on weak aura setup . Cheers
is it still 5 arcane blasts into barrage seems like I hit harder when I use blast three times into barrage
You never mentioned Presence of mind, when would you use that?
hi brofessor. How can I put my harmony legendry icon down there?
4:05
for those who needs a quick rewind to look at the cycle 🙂
Can i have addons names?
why 5 arcanes blast instead 4? we dont need to use arcane explosion in AoE?
Ah man everyone gets to play the game I've been playing since legion. Arcane for life.
Excellent guide this helped me a lot!
Why use missiles on clearcasting? I think hold them until you need to build up harmony stacks again unless you have max clearcasting stacks.
Why is it Spark > Magi > Power? Wouldn't we want to Spark > Power > Magi? That way we are not using a global after Magi and we can cast the 5 arcane blasts? If I use Magi then Power I can only get 4 Blasts then Barrage. Or is this simply a haste issue?
Awesome man so helpful!!!
you dont use presence of mind? Feel like its missing from your rotation right?
