Shadowlands Arcane Mage- FULL Kyrian Rotation breakdown



Read more about Shadowlands ➜ https://worldofwarcraft.mgn.tv

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!

  1. 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!

  2. 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

  3. 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?

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  10. 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?
