Arcane Mage Amirdrassil Boss Tips

Gnarlroot

Gnarlroot Build

Gnarlroot is a 2 stage encounter with a mix of Single Target and AoE. Phase 1 is a straightforward phase with adds you can activate with Bruciatura Controllata. In phase 2, any left over adds spawn and Coltivazione della Rovina causes roots to form that need to be burned with Bruciato dalla Brace. At the end of phase 2, the boss takes double damage via Agonia Sradicata. For this we'll run an AOE heavy build as the adds are what is most likely to kill anyone, no specific utility is needed for this encounter.
Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Gnarlroot

Use a small defensive like Immagine Speculare, Barriera Prismatica, or Barriera di Massa if targeted by Bruciatura Controllata. On Heroic or above, stand on dormant adds as this expires to spawn them before the intermission.
Stand in Schegge di Carbone to prevent them from landing without being caught and gain Bruciato dalla Brace. Move to Radici della Rovina with this debuff to burn roots.
Luccichio can be used to get through roots. Alterazione Temporale is also great to set on roots, then run to a Schegge di Carbone, alter back to remove them quickly.

Use Invisibilità Superiore or Freddo Come il Ghiaccio as the boss is about to phase. All adds that aren't already spawned will cause heavy raid damage as you enter phase 2.
Once the roots are all burned, the boss takes double damage with Agonia Sradicata. Try to have Eruzione Arcana up for this.

Mythic

Make sure you go for the furthest soaks, this will reduce your pull count a lot.
Feel free to focus on adds throughout the fight, they need to die and are dangerous to keep alive.

Igira the Cruel

Igira the Cruel Build

Igira the Cruel is a Single Target boss with a choose-your-own-adventure style mechanic called Marchiato dal Tormento. Beware of Lancia Rovente, since this damage coupled with other mechanics can be deadly, this mechanic is really the most lethal part of the fight. One of the torments Igira can inflict on you is Fermacuore, this gives players a healing absorb shield that explodes once it is removed. We'll take our normal cookie-cutter single target build and change out Adepto del Mana for Fendente Arcuato, however spears shouldn't last long enough for us to invest in AOE damage more than this, no specific utility is needed for this encounter.
Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Igira the Cruel

Mythic

There are no specific mythic tips for Arcane here, just be more vigilant about the mechanic overlaps and pump damage onto those Spears!

Volcoross

Volcoross Build

Volcoross is a Single Target encounter that forces the raid into two groups to soak Inondazione delle Terre del Fuoco. Both teams will circle around the room and meet back up in the end. Beware of lava and the bosses tail. When the tail rises, a large shadow forms and Schianto di Codarsa slams down. Stay spread for Spirale di Fiamme. Note: On Mythic, this mechanic ends with a group soak. Full single target build and no specific utility requirement.
Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Volcoross

Furia del Serpente happens every minute or so and deals heavy damage. Use Alterazione Temporale to counter it.
Use defensives like Immagine Speculare, Barriera Prismatica, or Barriera di Massa for soaking Inondazione delle Terre del Fuoco.
Cuore di Ghiaccio and Traslazione should be used to avoid lava, and dodge the Schianto di Codarsa.
Spirale di Fiamme can be really dangerous if you are stacked. Invisibilità Superiore if you feel you are in danger.
Blocco di Ghiaccio or Freddo Come il Ghiaccio should be saved for emergencies, and used anytime you are about to die.
Mythic Note: Blocco di Ghiaccio can be used to solo your own Spirale di Fiamme soak, though this shouldn't really be needed as the soak doesn't do a ton of damage when soaked by the group.

Due to the hitbox design of this boss, it may be possible to fit additional spells into the beginning of Tocco del Magus, this is still being tested.

Mythic

There are no specific Arcane mythic tips here, stay with your group and soak ethically; do damage!

Council of Dreams

Council of Dreams Build

Council of Dreams is a hectic fight with three bosses. Two of them will move where they please and are not tanked, but Urctos can be positioned. Each of the bosses need to be killed within a small window (Rinascita) or they all heal, so try to keep damage even. Each boss has an ultimate ability they use once their energy fills. These ultimate abilities can be undermined by the other bosses abilities (for instance: Bomba della Metamorfosi can be used to stop Rabbia Cieca). Carica Irruente needs to be group soaked, Giavellotto Velenoso needs to be taken out of the raid, and Canto del Drago can be broken by taking avoidable damage.

For this we'll run the same build we ran for Igira to be able to cleave when it's available, but the bosses are never stacked enough to invest in AOE, no utility is specifically required for this fight, simply do the mechanics and the fight is easy.

Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Council of Dreams

Rabbia Cieca and Carica Irruente are the most deadly mechanics in this encounter. Carica Irruente is physical damage and will hit us harder than most. Mage has many defensives to deal with this so always use one of the following: Immagine Speculare, Barriera Prismatica, Barriera di Massa, Alterazione Temporale, Invisibilità Superiore, or Freddo Come il Ghiaccio.
When targeted by Giavellotto Velenoso, use Alterazione Temporale, run out for a dispel, then Alterazione Temporale back.

Mythic

Larodar

Larodar ST Focus Build
Larodar AOE Focus Build
Larodar AOE Focus Build

Larodar, Keeper of the Flame is a two stage encounter with a brief intermission. It is mostly Single Target with adds that spawn periodically in both phases. In phase 1, Treant Ardentes spawn and need to be killed quickly so they can be healed. Once they are healed, they will activate the Seme della Vita which can be used by a team of 3 players to extinguish the flames around the room and the Radici Brucianti that chase players. Be on the lookout for Coalescenza Fiammeggiante flame orbs, which provide a crit buff.

At 100 energy, the boss casts Inferno Furente, which wipes the raid unless you have healed the Renewed Bramble Barrier up until it creates the safe zone (Baluardo della Natura).

Once the boss has lost enough health, the intermission activates and Fiamma Logorante pulls players in. During the last phase, the boss ramps in damage, summons Treant Cinereos which leave behind Terra Bruciata and explode when killed, spawns Braci Cadenti which need to be soaked, and puts out a nasty healing absorb called Fiammata Improvvisa.

Because of the availability of AOE here you may find your guild needs more or less, choose your talents based on that need, as with most fights this tier, no specific utility is required. On mythic, however, we'll want to run a bit of a hybrid build for burst cleave on demand without giving up too much single targete. Due to how Distorsione Temporale is used on this encounter, we'll take Anomalia Temporale. We also want Ondata di Fuoco on mythic with Detonazione Instabile specifically is very nice for knocking the adds, as they're about to die, towards the seed.

Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Larodar

Inferno Furente still does a lot of damage even when shielded. Immagine Speculare with Barriera Prismatica/Barriera di Massa and Alterazione Temporale mostly counters it but if you need more use Invisibilità Superiore or Freddo Come il Ghiaccio.
Coalescenza Fiammeggiante is a percentage Critical Strike buff, which is perfect for Eruzione Arcana.
Invisibilità Superiore should be used if you have to cross flame, soak Braci Cadenti, or take avoidable damage.
Don't let the Radici Brucianti catch you! If you get rooted, Traslazione can be used to break the root, but it isn't necessary.
In the last phase, Anello di Ghiaccio and Esplosione Gelida can be used to crowd control Treant Cinereos.

Mythic

Knock the adds towards the seed in the middle as they die with Ondata di Fuoco to get them healing the seed as soon as possible.
Don't send cooldowns as you approach 35% so you can send them with Distorsione Temporale to end phase 2 as quickly as possible.

Nymue

Nymue Build

Nymue, Weaver of the Cycle is a mostly Single Target encounter with two phases that repeat until the boss is killed. The floor on this encounter is covered with lines called Matrice Verdeggiante that deal damage when crossed. These lines are used to soften the blow of Fili della Vita and can be crossed safely if covered with Infiorescenza. Crescita Impetuosa also need to be soaked to reduce the overall raid damage. Generally speaking, it's best to spread out, so you can stand in Crescita Impetuosa without crossing a line.

During phase two, Custode del Ciclos spawn and the boss takes less damage with Protezione Vitale. When this happens, the raid needs to spit and kill both adds at the same time. After this, the fight repeats. This is a fully single target fight with no utility requirement.
Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Nymue

Use Traslazione/Luccichio to avoid getting stacks of Matrice Verdeggiante and to skip over Telaio Incombente.
Use a defensive like Invisibilità Superiore or Freddo Come il Ghiaccio if you get high stacks of Matrice Verdeggiante.
Continuum does a lot of damage. Mage has many defensives to deal with this so always use one of the following: Immagine Speculare, Barriera Prismatica, Barriera di Massa, Alterazione Temporale, or Invisibilità Superiore.

Mythic

Arcane is very specifically good at killing the third back add on mythic as it lines up with our second Distorsione Temporale usage.

Smolderon

Smolderon Build

Smolderon is a fast paced, high intensity Single Target encounter with two phases. This boss does a lot of damage and it is very important that you avoid taking extra damage. During this encounter, the room will fill with Terreno Infuocato, which can't be removed. Making good use of the space you have is just as important as dealing good damage.

Phase one is the main phase of the fight, and lasts a little over a minute. This phase has two main mechanics to deal with as a damage dealer, Marchio della Dannazione and Surriscaldato. Half the raid will get Surriscaldato, which forces them to run and spread out, as to not Ondate delle Fiamme the raid. The other half need to help soak the Marchio della Dannazione with the tank, causing them to get a huge healing absorb (Cauterizzazione Ferita). While this is happening, Geyser di Lava will also erupt. On Mythic, Inferno Perseguitante will also chase players, causing an explosion once the player makes contact with the orb. These explosions must be staggered.

A short time after the second Marchio della Dannazione, the boss will walk to the center of the room and begin phase 2 with a knockback that spawns 5 Fiamma Viventes from each player. This phase is even shorter than phase 1, and mainly functions as a time to deal heavy damage to the boss. Each Fiamma Vivente you collect gives a 20% damage increase that stacks in potency but not duration. This means you want to collect all 5 orbs quickly right as you are about to reach your damage peak during cooldowns. While this is happening, the boss will make players dance with Mondo in Fiamme.

Riscaldamento will cause the boss to ramp in damage, and at 4 stacks the boss will cast Distruzione Invadente, wiping the raid. This encounter is also fully single target with no utility requirement.
Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Smolderon

Alterazione Temporale is great for Marchio della Dannazione (for health) and Surriscaldato (for movement after the waves).
This fight ramps in damage. Try to always defensives for the end of the encounter. Barriera Prismatica with Immagine Speculare, Invisibilità Superiore, or Freddo Come il Ghiaccio should be enough to survive later sets of Marchio della Dannazione.
Try to always line up your Fiamma Vivente buffs during the intermission with your Eruzione Arcana.
Alterazione Temporale and Traslazione can counter the knockback as the boss phases.
If you cannot get your Holy Paladin to cast Benedizione dell'Autunno on you, you should open the fight with a Miniburn, otherwise Eruzione Arcana won't be back up for the vulnerability. This is because the first empowerment is about a minute into the fight, while each subsequent empowerment is about a minute and a half, making Eruzione Arcana sync after the first, but not if you open with it (without Autumn).

Mythic

No specific tips for mythic as Arcane, just ensure your cooldowns lay into the boss as much as possible during the intermission buff.

Tindral Sageswift

Tindral Sageswift Build

Tindral Sageswift has three phases and two intermissions that involve Dragonriding. Make sure you have all of your Dragonriding Talents for this encounter before you begin!

As a ranged damage dealer you will need to be very mobile. Dodge Stella Cadente, deal with Intrappolamento di Massa, and get away from the raid if marked with Crescita Ardente. This is a debuff that needs to be dispelled. As the phase goes on, Raggio di Fuocos will spawn making it so you have to dodge while dealing with the other mechanics. Eventually, Piuma Caduta will fall from the sky. These allow players to use Dragonriding while in the encounter. On Mythic, 4 of these spawn periodically and players need to use them to intercept Bomba Luminosas, using them as a way to clear roots via Fiamma Potenziante.

Because of the availability and importance of AOE here, I recommend AOE talents, the only specific utility required is that you want to run Cuore di Ghiaccio so you can Traslazione out of Intrappolamento di Massa.

Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Tindral Sageswift

Traslazione breaks the Intrappolamento di Massa. It is up every set.
Soaking the Seme della Fiamma can hurt! Mage has many defensives to deal with this so always use one of the following if you feel you are in danger: Immagine Speculare, Barriera Prismatica, Barriera di Massa, Alterazione Temporale, Invisibilità Superiore.
The Supernova absorb shield is important to break quickly, try to have Eruzione Arcana ready as you land on the platform.

Mythic

Using Traslazione to break roots will also spawn an add. For this reason, it is recommended for Mythic that you only Traslazione when your roots are already low, or out of pure necessity, like being rooted in a Raggio di Fuoco.

Fyrakk the Blazing

Fyrakk the Blazing Build

Fyrakk the Blazing is the final boss of Amirdrassil, Speranza del Sogno. The concept is that you are protecting the Radici di Amirdrassil. If burned, Amirdrassil in Fiamme triggers and it is a wipe.

This encounter has 3 phases with an intermission. Phase 1 and 3 are Single Target, but phase 2 has Colosso In Fiamme and Anima Urlante that spawn with each Devastazione d'Ombrofuoco. Spirito dei Kaldorei will also spawn, which are friendly adds that healers need to heal.

Phase 1 is straightforward, stand behind the boss during Tempesta di Fuoco to avoid this frontal. If targeted with Tempesta di Fuoco, place the flame as close to the edge (or other flame) as possible. When the boss disappears, run from Squarcio del Sogno. Once the intermission begins, the boss will knock players in the air with Incarnazione then cast a frontal with Corruzione. Run behind the boss and soak the Globi dell'Ombrofuoco that try to make it to the boss. If targeted with Fiammata lines, avoid moving last second unless you are running in the same direction as your line.

Phase 2 is similar to phase 1 except that the boss will occasionally spawn Colosso In Fiamme and Anima Urlante. He will also fly away then use Devastazione d'Ombrofuoco, which spawns a line of Anima Urlante. Spirito dei Kaldorei healing adds also spawn. Be careful not to hit them with ground effects like Fiammata!

Phase 3 brings most of the concepts from the previous phases together with a new twist. Multiple Seme di Amirdrassil will spawn which need to be picked up and carried by players. If a seed or a player carrying a seed takes damage from Fiammata or Tempesta di Fuoco Eterna then the seed explodes likely leading to a wipe.

This is definitely a fight where your Distorsione Temporale timing will determine whether you want to utilize Anomalia Temporale or not. Ondata di Fuoco and Soffio del Drago are useful here for stopping the small adds during P2 from casting their deadly spells. The AOE available is very important which in my opinion justifies Sbarramento del Globo, however if your guild slams adds you should consider Evocazione Gemma di Mana.

Arcane Mage Tips and Tricks for Fyrakk the Blazing

Fyrakk the Blazing Build

Use defensives such as Immagine Speculare, Barriera Prismatica, Barriera di Massa, Alterazione Temporale, Invisibilità Superiore for Squarcio del Sogno, Corruzione, Incarnazione, Caduta Ardente and Ruggito dell'Apocalisse.
Use Traslazione/Luccichio to cancel the knock-up from Incarnazione.
Controincantesimo, Soffio del Drago, and Ondata di Fuoco can be used on the Anima Urlantes that spawn after Devastazione d'Ombrofuoco to stop their casts.

Mythic

Fendente di Fiammoscura is a group soak, but can be soloed with Blocco di Ghiaccio, this does not make it required.
Orbs will have two colors. Make sure you only soak the Globi delle Fiamme / Globi dell'Ombra that match your shield, this is a great time for Barriera di Massa.

Arcane Mage Viability in Amirdrassil

Arcane looks to be like a strong ranged dps for season 3 of Dragonflight. If tuning stays the same, I would expect to see at least one Arcane Mage in nearly every raid kill, potentially even stackable for fights with vulnerabilities and add waves.

Something a lot of new arcane mages will struggle on is getting the rotation right while dealing with the amount of move conditions in this season, my advice is to not worry about small mistakes and really just focus on getting the surge window just right, a significant amount of your damage will come during this time.
