The Omnium Folio is a new system introduced in Midnight's Patch 12.0.7, and offers some minor performance-enhancing customization options after a multi-week quest series. Some of these bonuses affect your damage output, while others are more defensive in nature.

We recommend you pick the following bonuses in the first couple of weeks, but as you can freely switch between them at any time, feel free to experiment with other options yourself if you feel you do not get enough mileage out of the recommended options:

• Week 1: Rune of Unleashed Fire
• Week 2: Rune of Lynxlike Reflexes
• Week 3: Rune of Lingering
• Week 4: Rune of the Versatile Warrior
• Week 5: Rune of Overload

You can choose three of the following PvP talents; each has uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful but can be replaced with other PvP talents depending on your team's goal.

Smoke Bomb creates a smoke cloud around you. Enemy players who are outside the cloud will not be able to target anyone inside it. This talent is strong for multiple reasons. Firstly, it can help you land a kill by stunning a target when they have no trinket. By using Smoke Bomb right after a stun, you will prevent the healer from saving their teammate. Secondly, you can use it defensively to save yourself or an ally from a lethal cast about to go off, such as Chaos Bolt.

Preemptive Maneuver is a solid defensive option as it makes Feint reduce the damage you take even more when stunned, and reduces its energy cost.

Dismantle is a strong PvP talent that allows you to disarm an enemy for 6 seconds every 45 seconds. Disarming an enemy can delay their next kill attempt or stop it entirely if they have pulled the trigger. It is a great pick against Warrior, Rogue, and Marksmanship Hunter.

However, they can still use many threatening abilities while disarmed, and the same goes for Retribution Paladin and Death Knight. One thing to note is that you can use Dismantle offensively against Death Knight and Warrior, as being disarmed prevents the use of Death Strike and Die by the Sword.

Turn the Tables increases the damage you deal after coming out of a stun. This is a crucial talent, as you are the primary kill target for most teams. This will increase your overall damage output.
