What are Essences?
Essences are a system of power progression for the Heart of Azeroth introduced in patch 8.2. These legendary-like bonuses are unlocked through pre-determined activities including dungeons, raids, open-world activities, PvP, reputations, and achievements, and come in four ranks: Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. The second and third ranks add to or improve the base effect, while the last unlocks a flashy visual. Each Essence has a unique Major and Minor power, which can be socketed into the Heart of Azeroth upon completing a short introductory questline. For more information on available Essences and the drop locations for each rank, see our
Heart of Azeroth Essences Overview Guide
.
Essences may be changed in any rested area, or by using any
静心书卷
type item, but the same Essence cannot be used in multiple sockets, resulting in a total of 1 Major and 4 Minor powers active at any one time. You can pre-plan and preview your Essence setup in our
Essence Calculator
.

Account-Wide Essences for Alts
While Essences have been a chore to unlock on characters until Ny'alotha, Blizzard has introduced a new system in Patch 8.3 to speed up the process of obtaining Essences for subsequent characters: Echoes of Ny'alotha! Most current activities completed, like Mythic+, PvP, or Emissaries will reward a given number of Echoes, which can be traded at MOTHER at the Chamber of Heart for a Rank 3 Essence that you have already unlocked in another toon.

Protection Paladin Essences -- the Short Version
If you're looking for a quick list of what to buy or what to use on your Protection Paladin, here is a focused list of preferred essences and where or how to use them.
Major Essences
Use
火红烈焰
for single-target DPS in Raiding and Mythic Plus
Use
清醒梦境之忆
if you are dealing with a fight where you are tanking consistently (such as a fight with two bosses that tanks swap between, or Mythic+), as the charge recovery will allow you to mitigate more hits
Use
艾泽拉斯的不朽赐福
if the encounter you are currently working on requires damage reduction for a predictable damage spike;
永生之触
may also come in handy on progression to not wipe to a tank death
Use
世界血脉共鸣
if you are after multi-target DPS
Minor Essences
Use
斗争
for the versatility it provides. This should be the first minor you try to get and use as you will always use it in every type of content.
Use
共生姿态
pair with this with
火红烈焰
for high uptime or use
坚忍之力
if you strictly need corruption resistance.
Use
清醒梦境之忆
to passively increase your
正义盾击
uptime, and provide a decent amount of versatility while doing so.
Use
坚守阵地
for M+ and fights with constant, multi-target situations
Use
虚无屏障
if you can reliably consume the absorb. This will be trivial in raids and M+ thanks to corruption. This happens to also deal a ton of damage!
Use
沉抑之球
for some passive haste and run speed at higher ranks. In Mythic Plus, you'll have 100% tanking time so it has 100% uptime.
A Deeper Dive on Essences for Protection Paladin
While only one Major power can be used at a time, whichever Essence is socketed into the center node of the Heart of Azeroth will also activate its Minor Power, so both effects should be taken into consideration when determining which to use. Below is a table of information to provide better insights into how each essence works and how you can use them effectively as a Protection Paladin.
Essence
Major Power
Minor Power
Major:
深渊之护
Minor:
坚守阵地
Source: Nazjatar Reputation
You can ignore this major essence. Avoidance has been lackluster all expansion outside of niche situations, and the fixed damage reduction is hardly noticeable.
The minor is strong in M+ as it can grant significant amounts of versatility on large pulls,
Major:
清醒梦境之忆
Minor:
清醒梦境

The major allows you to dramatically increase your
正义盾击
charge regeneration rate, allowing you to rapidly recover charges. Synergizes really well with Seraphim.
15% chance when using SotR or Seraphim to regain half of the
正义盾击
charges consumed. Also gives you versatility when the proc happens.
Major:
完美愿景
Minor:
精益求精
Source: Operation: Mechagon
Avoid this major. Looks good on paper until you realize that
复仇之怒
it doesn't actually provide
that much
DPS or survival, especially as a random proc. Strictly middle-of-the-road essence - tries to do both DPS and survival, and fails at both. It also has some interactions with Azerite traits, namely
复仇者之力
, but it's still weaker than other Major essence options.
Allows you to use
复仇之怒
a bit more often, and provides a 5% heal when using it. Pretty lackluster as it
复仇之怒
doesn't actually do that much for you and
is on the GCD.
Major:
火红烈焰
Minor:
上古之火
Source: Questing
This your best major for single target damage. You should use it to try to kill important high health targets or for snap threat on the pull. You should not use it as a heal as its effectiveness is much lower when used that way.
The minor is effectively
药剂师的独家配方
but as fire damage. Just like the spell it was taken from, the shared proc chance means that the more you proc it on DPS, the less of a chance you'll have of getting it to heal, and vice versa.
Major:
世界血脉共鸣
Minor:
源血
Source: Islands
The major power of this allows you to kick start the minor faster on pull. It also amplifies the effect of the minor by 300% for its duration. This is a really strong major for multi-target DPS.
The minor provides a shared resource in the form of shards, providing a small amount of strength while they are up. It is possible to be on near-100% uptime with three other users of this. This minor also suffers from issues around how often the buff updates making it less reliable in practice.
Major:
空间涟漪
Minor:
现实流转
Source: War mode quests
The major power for us is used to proc the minor. Provides some DR, has some serious implications regarding pulls due to the fact that mobs will consider you as showing your back to them when you teleport in. You can avoid this major power.
As a protection paladin, you do not have the tools to cover 25yds in 4s without sacrificing a charge of steed. Due to this commitment, you'll largely be looking at low uptimes making it a very lackluster minor.
Major:
冲突与斗争
Minor:
斗争
Source: Rated PvP
The major has virtually zero value unless you absolutely
need
a knockback.
This minor turns out to be pretty good; even though the stack gain from CC is abysmally low, the passive gain allows you to keep maximum stacks at all times. At rank 3, it provides more average secondary stats than other minors. This will be one of your go-to in every situation.
Major:
艾泽拉斯的不朽赐福
Minor:
硬化的艾泽里特
Source: Eternal Palace Raid
This major will see some use as the de facto major essence for general defensive use, but only on rank 3. There is no downside to having 40% DR other than the potential loss of another, better major for the job.
The minor is very weak. You can safely avoid it.
Major:
死亡心能
Minor:
生命心能
Source: M+
This major looks good on paper, until you realize that it is not amplified by versatility, cannot crit, costs you a major
and
minor slot and is desynced from its DPS counterpart (Iris). You can avoid it.
The minor effect is very similar to the effect provided by
暴君赦令
, and comes with the same caveats - it is an unreliable source of extra HP and losing the stacks (deliberately or not) will put you at a massive disadvantage, particularly as it will take 50 sec to re-stack it.
Major:
强化虚无屏障
Minor:
虚无屏障
Source: Rustbolt Reputation
This essence will be useful when a large burst of effective health against magic damage is needed. Its long cooldown, however, makes it significantly less appealing. Its also on the GCD which makes it difficult to use effectively
The minor is a nice, free, no-strings-attached absorb with a significant amount of damage it fades. The damage is on Rank 3 only. This is considered one of the best minors available especially if you have Rank 3.
Major:
抑制冲动
Minor:
沉抑之球
Source: Honor Points
This is an interesting defensive essence that lowers the attack speed of targets hit. It does work on bosses in PvE but can be avoided in favor of other essences that are more effective. However, its really good for flag carrying in Warsong Glutch!
When you need the permanent slow on enemies, such as on necrotic week, this is a pretty neat minor to have. It also comes with a nifty amount of haste on it.
Major:
警惕的保卫者
Minor:
坚忍之力
Source: Horrific Visions
This essence is a burst AoE taunt (incl. 300% threat modifier) and damage cooldown + damage reduction against anything you tag on a 2min cooldown, making it somewhat niche but useful in large pulls.
As it stands, this could be a competitive choice as third minor for high keys. Otherwise, you should use this minor if you need Corruption Resistance and have poor uptime on
共生姿态
.
Major:
知识仿写
Minor:
共生姿态
Source: Ny'alotha Raid
You'll use this if you want to steal
聚焦之虹的精华
; this does not come for free, however, as you'll incur a 30% cooldown increase over the "natural" essence. It also has other downsides like a 1.5 second cast time and a 15 second limit on using the stored essence.
With
火红烈焰
, you can guarantee yourself 90%+% uptime on the minor - a nice source of primary stat and haste.
Major:
永生之触
Minor:
生存意志
Source: Rajani Reputation
You will typically consider this major if you would like the safety of a cheat death when doing progression or learning new content.
This minor can be ignored as it only increases the effect of one (1) SotR every 60 seconds which in practice is quite poor.

So I personally would find this guide a lot more useful if the table contained the name of the essence as it appears in the heart of azeroth screen rather than the item that gives it - am I alone in this?
