[0:00] Hello there, and welcome back to another
[0:01] video. Today, we're going to talk about
[0:03] the Sunstrider Omnium or the Omnium
[0:06] Folio, which is a brand new borrowed
[0:09] power system in patch 12.0.7. In this
[0:12] video, we're going to go through
[0:13] everything that you need to know about
[0:14] this brand new system that is coming in
[0:16] patch 12.0.7 of Midnight. But, before we
[0:19] jump into that, I do want to let you
[0:20] know that I am streaming on
[0:21] twitch.tv/mistergm.
[0:23] If you want to see me stream World of
[0:24] Warcraft Midnight, Midnight PTR, any
[0:26] sort of wow, come over on
[0:27] twitch.tv/mistergm.
[0:30] Right, so yes, the Omnium Folio. This is
[0:33] a new borrowed power system coming in
[0:35] patch 12.0.7. As of the recording of
[0:37] this, we do not have an official release
[0:38] date for 12.0.7, but it is heavily
[0:41] rumored to be June 16th or 17th,
[0:43] depending on your region. Now, borrowed
[0:45] power has always been kind of a part of
[0:47] these point seven patches for a while
[0:49] now. We had the Onyx Annulet, Cersei's
[0:51] Circlet, the Titan Disc Belt, but this
[0:54] one is slightly different as this is not
[0:56] an item, but a passive buff with a
[1:00] talent tree. So, this will be available
[1:02] on day one of the patch, and to unlock
[1:05] it, it is just unlocked through a fairly
[1:06] short quest line that starts in
[1:08] Silvermoon. This quest line will take
[1:09] you over to the Magisters' Terrace with
[1:11] Magister Umbric and Grand Magister
[1:13] Romath. Once the Omnium Folio has been
[1:16] unlocked, you do access it from a new
[1:18] icon on your mini map where the previous
[1:20] expansion icons were. And the great news
[1:22] here is once it is unlocked, it is
[1:23] unlocked on all of your level 90
[1:25] characters automatically. You don't need
[1:27] to speak to any NPCs or anything like
[1:29] that. You simply log in and it will be
[1:31] there. Now, as I mentioned, this does
[1:33] have a talent tree, and this talent tree
[1:35] has five nodes which are unlocked
[1:37] weekly. So, it will take five weeks to
[1:39] unlock the whole thing. Now, the good
[1:41] news is that the way that it's upgraded
[1:43] can be done completely solo and does not
[1:45] take much effort. It is simply just a
[1:47] weekly quest to get something from a
[1:48] specific activity. So, week one will be
[1:51] free. In week two, you have to do one
[1:53] ritual site. In week three, you have to
[1:56] do five void assaults. In week four, you
[1:58] can either do a dungeon, delve, or kill
[2:00] a raid finder boss. And in week five,
[2:03] you have to head into the new mini zone,
[2:05] complete three world quests, and defeat
[2:07] the world boss. These upgrades are also
[2:09] completely account-wide. So, once it's
[2:11] done on your main, your alts will have
[2:13] instant access to the full talent tree.
[2:15] So, let's talk about the talent tree
[2:17] next and what kind of powers you're
[2:18] going to be getting from this. So, there
[2:19] are five nodes in total, with some of
[2:22] them just being one option and others
[2:23] being choice nodes with up to four
[2:25] choices. Now, as of the recording of
[2:27] this, these abilities do not scale with
[2:30] your item level. So, I'll say numbers,
[2:32] but of course, they are absolutely
[2:34] subject to change. Now, the basic way
[2:35] that this works is that you choose your
[2:37] main power at the top and then the
[2:38] powers below it will change and upgrade
[2:41] the first power. So, in week one, you
[2:43] will have access to your main power, and
[2:45] this is called the core rune. You have
[2:47] two choices here. You have the Rune of
[2:49] Void Touch Orbs. It says, "Every 10
[2:51] seconds, you attract a void orb to you
[2:52] with a maximum of five." Your attack
[2:54] sends these orbs at your enemy, dealing
[2:56] 2,745
[2:58] cosmic damage for each. Your healing
[3:00] spells send the orbs at the lowest
[3:01] health ally, restoring 4,116
[3:05] health for each orb. Or the other option
[3:08] is the Rune of Unleash Fire. It says,
[3:10] "Your spells and abilities have a chance
[3:11] to cool down a pillar of fire, dealing
[3:13] 2,745
[3:15] fire damage to an enemy, or cauterizing
[3:17] the wounds of a nearby ally, restoring
[3:19] 4,116
[3:21] health." So, in week two, we have a
[3:23] choice node. This is a choice of three.
[3:25] You have the Rune of Self-Mending. It
[3:26] says, "When below 75% health, your core
[3:29] rune also heals you for 4,116
[3:32] health." You also have the Rune of
[3:34] Void-Tainted Shell. It says, "When
[3:35] struck for more than 10% of your maximum
[3:37] health, you gain an absorb shield that
[3:39] will absorb 18,000 damage, but 50% of
[3:42] the absorbed amount will linger, dealing
[3:44] its damage over 10 seconds. This effect
[3:46] can only occur every 30 seconds." And
[3:48] your final choice is the Rune of
[3:50] Lingering Reflexes. It says, "When
[3:52] struck in combat it increases your speed
[3:53] by 115 for 10 seconds and it cannot
[3:56] occur more than every 30 seconds with a
[3:59] 30-second cooldown. After that, we have
[4:01] the Lingering Rune. This is just one
[4:03] option here and this is the Rune of
[4:05] Lingering. Says the effects of your core
[4:07] rune leave behind a periodic effect that
[4:09] deals 2,745 cosmic damage or restores
[4:12] 1,116 health over 8 seconds based on
[4:15] whether the target is an enemy or an
[4:17] ally. Your core rune favors hitting
[4:19] targets that are unaffected by the Rune
[4:21] of Lingering. After that, in week four,
[4:24] we have a choice node and this has four
[4:26] options. Each of these runes are procced
[4:28] by your core rune and increase your
[4:30] rating by 78. So, you have the Rune of
[4:32] Critical Power that increases your
[4:34] critical strike rating. You have the
[4:35] Rune of Burning Haste, which increases
[4:37] your haste. You have the Rune of
[4:39] Masterful Cunning, which increases your
[4:41] mastery. And you have the Rune of the
[4:43] Versatile Warrior, which increases your
[4:45] versatility. And finally, at the end,
[4:47] you have a choice node with three
[4:48] choices. You have the Rune of the
[4:50] Overlord, which increases the
[4:52] effectiveness of your core rune ability
[4:54] by 100% or you could choose the Rune of
[4:56] Residual Energy, which increases the
[4:58] effectiveness of your Rune of Lingering
[5:00] by 100% or finally, the Rune of Echoes,
[5:03] which says the effects of your core rune
[5:05] leave behind an echoing curse on your
[5:07] target. After 10 seconds, an echo of all
[5:09] the damage and healing done by your core
[5:11] rune and lingering runes is repeated at
[5:14] 50% effectiveness. So, yeah, that is
[5:17] your full talent tree as of the
[5:18] recording of this. Now, once you do
[5:20] fully upgrade your talent tree, you do
[5:21] get an achievement and that achievement
[5:23] does reward a decor version of the
[5:25] Sunstrider Omnium that you can place in
[5:28] your house, which is pretty cool and you
[5:30] can purchase more of these for Voidlight
[5:32] Isle if you want to. So, that is the
[5:34] Sunstrider Omnium and the Omnium Folio.
[5:36] Overall, the system seems pretty
[5:38] harmless and is going to help people
[5:39] reach their goals in season one. Now, I
[5:42] feel like having it as a passive buff is
[5:44] just a much better way of going about it
[5:46] than having to completely replace a
[5:47] piece of gear. And obviously, let's be
[5:49] realistic here, people are just going to
[5:51] look up the best builds and then set it
[5:53] and forget it. So, seems like an
[5:55] interesting system. Let me know in the
[5:56] comments your thoughts on this. Let me
[5:58] know your thoughts on like borrowed
[5:59] power in general. What do you think of
[6:00] the other ones that we've had in the
[6:01] past? Is this something Blizzard should
[6:03] continue, or do you think this is
[6:04] something that should be left in the
[6:05] past? Let me know your thoughts in the
[6:07] comments. And if you like this video,
