Night fae and kyrian best covenants. Night fae is more consistent kiting which is super important in this warrior meta. And faster busts with shifting power is great.
Triune ward best legendary for arena
Addons definitely need an arena frame addon l- I prefer sArena, some prefer gladius. Will need omnibar to track enemy cd’s (manually add other mages spell steals on 30 sec cd to track kleptomania) as well as Omni cd to track your teammates cd’s. Those and details are the only ones I use
Keybinds are super specific to the person, but make it comfortable and fast to be able to poly all 3 targets, and spellsteal/ cs all 3 targets. I use arena 1,2,3 binds for poly and a mix of focus binds for everything
Watch the most recent xaryu mage guide and he goes over the burst options and talent choices iirc. Generally taking kindling and pyrokenisis are good to farm combust faster, unless you are playing RMX in which meteor might be better for bigger kidney goes
Go practice against random mobs a lot in between queues landing rings off of dragons breath. When I went mage it surprised me how bad I was at that lol. Weird with how the sheep walks around getting down where to drop the ring
Get a hang of how far your blinks are so you are good at being able to shimmer into spots that you can’t be stopped on poly, and don’t blink db behind someone
Make a cancel alter time macro, there’s a lot of situations you won’t want to alter back
your main objective in most games is to set up a kill with combustion, and if you dont get it, live until the next combustion while having as much pressure as possible. You’ll want to get a good grasp of how to kite each class/class combo effectively without wasting too many resources so your healer doesn’t oom trying to keep you alive.
You’ll need to get diverted energy conduit for the shield healing, infernal cascade conduit to make combustion goes scarier, and controlled destruction conduit for better pyros.
