The Nokhud Offensive

Neltharus

The Azure Vault

Tormenta succionadora, Chispa radiante, and Tromba de orbes capstones. These specific builds are tailored around each dungeon's trash and boss needs with regards to needed dispels, crowd control, or damage preferences. However, don't be afraid to experiment, especially in coordination with your groups needs.

As a rule of thumb, Invisibilidad superior, Barrera en masa, Barrera prismática, Reflejo exacto, Alterar el tiempo, and Frío polar should be used liberally in all of these dungeons. Additionally, do not forget you have great utility to stop enemy casters from finishing their deadly abilities, use Aliento de dragón, Ola explosiva, Contrahechizo, and if you feel the need to talent it, Supernova. Anillo de Escarcha can also be used as a solid stop, try timing it before enemies start casting the spell you want to stop - a good enemy health bar weakaura or Plater profile can help with this.

The below isn't an all-inclusive list of mechanics, just those that are leverageable and have been documented elsewhere.

Keep in mind since Dawn of the Infinite is not a mythic+ that you can change talents at any time, but overall the difficulty scaling on this will be capped.

Dungeon specific Notes

Ruby Life Pools

Robar hechizo should be used a ton in this dungeon, most things give you a solid buff, absorb shield, or instant kill mobs that put up shielding as they die. But there is one enemy buff in particular which kills you, Venas ardientes, avoid stealing this unless you know the healer can keep you up through it!
Alterar el tiempo is very adept at dealing with the first boss mechanic when you get selected to have to move out.
Ruby Life Pools has some intense caster pulls around the ring, ensure that you use your stops as much as possible, preferably in coordination with your group.
Ensure you use your cooldowns wisely on the last boss to both kill the dragon as soon as possible but also to not get ranged by the dragon during your damage window.

Nokhud Offensive

Anillo de Escarcha is insanely good in the opening part of this dungeon to stop the charge attacks on people which eliminates a lot of the risk of these pulls.
Robar hechizo the small elementals near the 2nd boss for a huge stacking defensive - make sure your party members know to not dispel these as the shield is so large and last so long that you can use it throughout the boss fight! Robar hechizo is also useful on the boss to stop your tank from getting ruined by the boss.
Invisibilidad superior will cause the last boss to fizzle (use the cooldown of an ability but not generate any of the effects) his spear attacks.
Make sure to juggle stops on the last boss adds, Polimorfia one of them and mark it if you can.

Halls of Infusion

Barreras energizadas has a couple of important uses in this dungeon as the orb beams in the opening pulls are a slow as are the dragon aoe attack after the frog boss. Clearing the slow will also cancel out the other effects on these abilities.
Polimorfia an infuser on the last boss after intermission, you can also juggle another infuser between your many crowd control abilities, but do not do this unless you are confident you can, the cast is very dangerous.

Brackenhide Hollow

Be careful with Robar hechizo here, the spell increase buff comes with a heavier damage taken. Make sure to steal the first bosses heal when if no one kicks it.
Anillo de Escarcha and Ola explosiva work very well to keep mobs grouped up when they try to run away at low health.
Invisibilidad superior works to fizzle Carga indómita and Marcado para la carnicería on the first boss.
Bloque de hielo breaks Consumir on Bocaárbol, however given how good Frío polar is, it will likely depend on timings and key level for if you want to consider not taking Aliento de Senegos.
On higher keystones it is my recommendation to save Chispa radiante for totems on the last boss, having damage for this matters more than having damage overall; this would not mean holding Toque de los magi, just Chispa radiante.

Algeth'ar Academy

Once again, Invisibilidad superior comes in handy to stop the charging insects in the opening pulls of this dungeon.
Bloque de hielo is useful in a couple of places here, first to drop stacks on the tree boss and then again on the bird boss. It is worth noting that doing the tree boss well and the bird boss fast negates any need for this. I won't have it in the default builds but you should be mindful that the tool is available.
Traslación cronos can also be worth considering here as the power in movement can't be overstated on the later pulls.

Neltharus

Robar hechizo is amazing on the elementals, the shield is huge and stacks!
Invisibilidad superior works on multiple boss abilities to fizzle the spell and drop targeting, however note that the last boss ability will just retarget another player.
We take Eliminar maldición here for the last boss alone.

Uldaman, Legacy of Tyr

Again we take Eliminar maldición here for Maldición de piedra from the trash caster earthen, Barreras energizadas also will remove this from ourselves.
On higher keystones it is my recommendation to save Chispa radiante for totems on the second boss, having damage for this matters more than having damage overall; this would not mean holding Toque de los magi, just Chispa radiante.
Barreras energizadas also removes the last boss slowing debuff and stops the damage.
There are a bunch of spells to steal here, most notably Célere from the infinites later in the dungeon.

The Azure Vault

Robar hechizo is great for the giant elementals which gives you a huge damage increase.
Avoid using your Toque de los magi on the enemies that use Escamas brillantes. If you can, Robar hechizo it, but if the pull is large enough this may not be worth the global as it only last for 10 seconds.
Invisibilidad superior will fizzle the third bosses beam attack.

Dawn of the Infinites (This is not available on Mythic+)

Robar hechizo can be used to stop Enervar.
There is a dodgeable ground effect that gives players a curse, Eliminar maldición can help with this but really players should avoid getting hit.
On the second boss, Invisibilidad superior can be used to fizzle Infusión corrosiva. Additionally, Necroescarcha can be dealt with multiple ways, either by using Traslación, hitting the frost with Aliento de dragón, or by using Invisibilidad superior during the cast.
Invisibilidad superior can also be used on the last boss to negate the Explosión de extinción Iridikon casts on players.
Robar hechizo can be used to remove a large absorb shield from trash.
Barreras energizadas removes the Maga de falla infinita's debuff from Quemadura infinita.
There is a dodgeable ground effect that gives players a curse, Eliminar maldición can help with this but really players should avoid getting hit.
Chromie is a great boss for Anillo de Escarcha and a subsequent Polimorfia en masa if you're bold enough to take it.
Invisibilidad superior can be used to fizzle Hacha dentada on the horde/alliance boss fight.
Make sure to target one of the caster guys on the last trash pull.

Arcane Mage Talent Guide

Incorpóreo	Polimorfia
Volcánica	Témpanos de hielo or Centelleo

Dealing with Weekly Affixes as an Arcane Mage

Frost Mages have many different tools to deal with Dungeon affixes and to help their group with them. Below are some tips for how to deal with each affix.

Use Eliminar maldición to remove Espíritu maldito from one Alma afligida. If an Grito quejumbroso cast is going to complete, either break line of sight to avoid the debuff or use Bloque de hielo to remove it.

If you do not want to move, trigger Barreras energizadas with Barrera prismática to remove this. Otherwise, simply move out of the circle with Traslación/Centelleo, Témpanos de hielo, or free GCDs.

Use crowd control effects such as Polimorfia to stop multiple Desestabilizar casts as quickly as possible. You should coordinate to use all crowd control effects avaiable to your group efficiently. If a lone Ser incorpóreo is going to finish its cast, you can interrupt it with Contrahechizo.

Make sure to not Nova de Escarcha or slow as mobs die to reduce the healing they receive from Sanguina puddles to a minimum. Use Ola explosiva to knock mobs away from pools.

When enemies have many stacks of Potenciante, be especially careful to ensure that dangerous casts do not complete and be ready to use defensive cooldowns like Alterar el tiempo, Invisibilidad superior, and Bloque de hielo to survive.Bombardeo Arcano is a great tool here to shorten Bolstering times!

Use strong defensive cooldowns like Alterar el tiempo, Invisibilidad superior, and Bloque de hielo to survive if you get many stacks of Detonante at once.

When trash mobs reach low HP, Furibunda can be sometimes make them very dangerous because you cannot stop an important cast. Against enemies where that is a possibility, be ready to use defensive cooldowns like Alterar el tiempo, Invisibilidad superior, and Bloque de hielo to survive. Bombardeo Arcano is a great tool here to shorten Raging times!

Keep your distance from a Sombra rencorosa when it's fixating you: stay out of it's melee range or it can kill you very quickly. Often groups will kill these, but if you communicate or telegraph the use of Anillo de Escarcha, Nova de Escarcha, Nova de hielo as well as other group crowd controls you can leave these behind as you move to new packs.

Tormentosa can not be ignored as an Arcane Mage. Keep an eye on them and get out of the way. Use Témpanos de hielo or Centelleo or free GCDs liberally for this. Sometimes you can even just eat them during your AOE rotation since you have so many GCDs.

Volcánica is a relatively simple affix. Make sure to move out of Columna de humo volcánico if it spawns under your feet. Témpanos de hielo and Centelleo are invaluable here!

Arcane Mage Viability In Mythic+

Arcane looks to be like a strong ranged dps for season 4 of Dragonflight dungeons.

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.

The absolute best place to learn, interact with others, and find the most current and up-to-date resources is always the Altered-Time discord.

Strengths	Weaknesses

Arcane Mage Mythic+ Utility

Stopping casts in dungeons can be important and Mages have multiple convenient tools to achieve this.

Contrahechizo is a generic interrupt and is also tied for the longest school lockout of any player interrupt.
Aliento de dragón is an AoE disorient that can be used to stop casts that normal interrupts do not work on or to provide supplemental interrupts when your group is overwhelmed.
Ola explosiva is a short-range AoE knockback that can also be used to stop casts if needed, similar to Aliento de dragón. Note that if you plan to use it heavily for this purpose, you may wish to skip the Detonación volátil talent.

Robar hechizo: Many mobs cast powerful Magic effects that you can steal to gain benefits. The most significant of these are usually damage buffs and large absorb shields.

Eliminar maldición: Curses in dungeons are often deadly and Mages are one of the classes that can negate them by only spending a GCD. Keep an eye out for Curses that are killing or inconveniencing your group and make sure to remove them.

Intelecto Arcano: A 5% Intellect buff for your party. Even if you are playing with two physical DPS, this will still always at least help your healer.

Distorsión temporal: It is significant for every group to have access to at least one specialization with a Ansia de sangre-like effect.

Polimorfia: This only works on Humanoids and Beasts, but has various niche uses such as controlling difficult mobs, healing a target that should not be dying yet, and stopping casts. Additionally, you can use this to let you group skip packs situationally. The first player who gets close to the sheep will aggro just the sheep and be in combat, but other players will not enter combat once one player does. If you are the one to aggro the sheep, you can exit combat with Invisibilidad or Invisibilidad superior.

Barrera en masa is a helpful defensive cooldown for your entire party, this is particularly strong as Arcane as it propagates the damage reduction from Barrera prismática.

Invisibilidad en masa can be used to skip trash packs.

Polimorfia en masa: While it is not without any risks, it is entirely possible to start casting Polimorfia en masa, and either walk in to an enemy pack using Témpanos de hielo or to Centelleo in before the cast completes. Once a pack is under the effects of Polimorfia, they will only retain combat with the first player in range of them, this means your group can now walk by the pack without being pulled into combat. And now that your group is safe, you can simply use Invisibilidad to reset the pack

Nova de hielo & Anillo de Escarcha: We also have Nova de hielo, Anillo de Escarcha, and Nova de Escarcha to stop enemies in their tracks allow the tank critical time to recover or stop a charge.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why is the tip about using Frost Nova to kite mobs under weaknesses? That seems like a strength to me.
