Arcane Mage Talents & Best Builds
Mined from 125 distinct builds in the current top WarcraftLogs parses. The tables below show which hero talent the best Arcane players actually run on each boss and key.
This page ranks Arcane Mage talent builds from top WarcraftLogs parses across raid bosses and Mythic+ dungeons. For each encounter, we list the most common talent setups and the hero talent used. The data covers 116 parses and 82 distinct builds, with hero talent share calculated per parse.
Takeaways: Sunfury is the only hero talent used by top Arcane Mages, appearing in 100% of parses (n=116). In raid, Sunfury leads on all eight bosses, with five builds listed per boss except The Twin Fangs (one build). In Mythic+ high keys and farm runs, Sunfury also dominates all eight dungeons, with five builds per dungeon. This suggests top players consistently favor Sunfury across content.
When reading the table, focus on the usage percentages and the build lists for your specific boss or dungeon. If you're not using Sunfury, note that none of the top parses do, so consider experimenting with it. The number of builds listed indicates variety; more builds mean more viable options within the Sunfury tree.

Omnium Folio runes · what top players pick raid 39 players Mythic+ 39 players
The Patch 12.1 Omnium Folio has five rune rows. This is what the sampled top logs actually run in each row, read from the runes' own damage, healing and buff traces. Bold = most picked. Rows 1 and 5 are procs, so their share is inferred from the traces they leave.
| Row | Raid | Mythic+ |
|---|---|---|
| Row 1 | ||
| Row 2 | ||
| Row 3 |

How to unlock the Omnium Folio and fill the rows
At level 80, take The Magisters' Call from the Magister's Missive at the Field Accolade Quartermasters in Silvermoon City, help Grand Magister Rommath and Magister Umbric restore the Sunstrider Omnium in Eversong Woods, and finish The Omnium Reawakens for the Folio and row 1. Then each week the Seeking Knowledge quest at the Sunstrider Omnium pays one Mote of Omnial Inquiry, one row per mote: week 2 Ritualized Arcana ×8 (Ritual Sites), week 3 Dark-Ley Coalescence ×5 (Void Incursions), week 4 Pure Primessence ×1 (delves, dungeons, raid or strongbox), week 5 an alien magic fragment from Showdown world bosses plus 3 world quests. Motes are account-wide once one character has done the quest; since 12.1 alts skip the intro. The Folio UI opens from the map and runes can be swapped freely out of combat.
