About the Author
This guide was written by Llarold! I’ve been tanking since Vanilla. During Mists of Pandaria, I saw an opportunity to begin writing guides, and I took it with the hopes of making myself a better tank and making the community into better tanks with me. I hope it’s working!
I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in
Peak of Serenity
and
Skyhold
(Monk and Warrior). I’m active on
Twitter
, where I mostly talk WoW (and basketball), and I’m half of the team responsible for the YouTube channel
WoW at Night
, which focuses primarily on tank guides and previews.
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.

Which Essences Should I Buy First?
With MOTHER now selling Rank 3 essences via
尼奥罗萨的回响
, you can quickly catch up alts' unattained or underleveled essences, and here what you should focus on buying first:
High Priority:
冲突与斗争
- This provides an amazingly powerful Minor Power and takes at least several weeks to unlock Rank 3. Buying this should be a top priority.
虚无粹源
- This is another immensely valuable Minor Power, and unlocking it takes a lot of time spent on Mechagon Island farming rep and unlock materials. That grind is annoying, skip ASAP.
无形虚空
- Gathering a raid essence can take a lot of time, and this one is a really strong Minor Power, granting a steady source of Strength, Haste, and valuable Corruption Resistance. This is a good one to pick up from MOTHER.
沉抑之球
- PvP grinds are brutal. This is the weakest trait on this list and should not be a priority, but if you've unlocked this on another character and want it on your Warrior, don't do that to yourself again.
Low Priority:
完美愿景
- This is the most generally valuable Rank 3 power to Warriors and should be your #1 priority to unlock. As of Patch 8.3, acquiring rank 3 should only require several runs of Operation: Mechagon Workshop on Heroic. It's pretty easy to get now! If you want to skip grinding out Heroic dungeons, go ahead and buy it. It is the most useful trait a Warrior can have, so buying isn't
bad
, but you will put the rest of your Essence unlocks behind by a bit to skip an easy farm.
清醒梦境之忆
- It's a fantastic trait, but unlocking Rank 2 only takes a couple of days and Rank 3 takes a couple of weeks. It's good, but the grind isn't as punishing as most of the other options.
深渊之护
- Farming to Revered with your Nazjatar faction reputation and gathering 50 Manapearls is pretty easy. This trait's worth having, but it's not worth prioritizing as a MOTHER purchase.
烈焰熔炉
- This is the best single target damage Major Power, but it's by far the easiest to unlock. Just level your Heart of Azeroth and do a few very easy questlines. Done!
Essences in Patch 8.3
Patch 8.3 has added 3 new Essences available to Protection Warriors! But how are they? Not great!
While none of the new Essences are worthless, all three are only situationally useful. Sorry.
无形虚空
- Allows you to copy Major Powers from other players, at an increased cooldown. Hypothetically useful for copying offensive cooldowns, but not great in practice. The Minor Power has near-100% uptime in raid and is a very nice bonus!
永生之触
- A Cheat Death effect on a 10-minute cooldown. Not very useful. The Minor Power is also
cursed
bad.
勇卫之力
- An AoE Taunt on a 2-minute cooldown. Hypothetically useful on add fights, effectively worthless. The minor power grants a modest health boost that also affects other tanks in your party. It's an excellent defensive bonus in raids and Mythic+ that interacts positively with Corruption effects like
暮光毁灭
.
Best Protection Warrior Major Essences
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 short ranking of notable Top Tier, Mid Tier, and Bottom or strictly Situational Tier Major Essences you should consider using when playing a Protection Warrior.

Uses: Killing everything that moves, everything that lives!
Protection Warriors are WoW’s most notoriously DPS-focused tank, and this makes them even better. Protection Warriors gain a significant increase (roughly 30%) to the uptime of their favorite offensive/defensive/death-dealing cooldown:
天神下凡
. Reducing the base cooldown by >20 seconds will cause it to desync slightly from
挫志怒吼
, but that’s a small drawback, and clearly outweighed by the incredible benefits this Major Power provides.
Without this essence and playing under ideal circumstances,
天神下凡
uptime is a bit above 40%. The proc from the Major Power can bump that up to 50-55%. With the cooldown reduction provided by the Minor Power,
天神下凡
uptime may approach 60% during ideal conditions. That is amazing in any multi-target scenario.
The Haste from the Major Power proc and the Versatility from the Minor Power are small, but they’re better than nothing. The heal from casting
天神下凡
or triggering the proc is similarly small, but not bad.
One other nifty little note: The randomly-triggered
天神下凡
procs behave like a normal
天神下凡
cast, meaning that it will remove all roots and snares and trigger
千钧堡垒
's free Ignore Pain!
This is a tremendously impactful power even at rank 1, and the Major Power grows considerably in strength with each rank. The Minor Power, on the other hand, pretty much brings most of its power beginning with rank 1. For alts and returning players, this is the most important Essence power for any Protection Warrior to acquire and level up, so get to it!
Effect on gameplay
天神下凡
has a powerful, fun impact on the Protection Warrior rotation, and increasing its uptime is absolutely the best possible way to make a strong, already-fun tank even more strong and fun.
One small note: If a Vision proc occurs while
天神下凡
is active it will seamlessly add to its duration. This does not work in the other direction, so be sure not to manually cast
天神下凡
if a Vision proc is currently active, as the new
天神下凡
's 20 second duration will simply overwrite the existing proc rather than adding to it.

Uses: Single target damage, all content, general gameplay
A shockingly powerful single-target DPS option - usually the best! It’s extremely basic, but it adds a ton of damage in pure single target encounters and synergizes extremely well with
灭绝者
. You know what raid is full of pure single target encounters? Ny'alotha! It is the first Essence you unlock, so you gain access to an excellent option from the very beginning. Nothing wrong with that!
The Minor Power provides an additional trickle of added damage. It’s a great single target DPS increase, but it doesn't really change the way you play at all.
Effect on gameplay
The increase to damage with each cast applies to the added DoT from rank 2. Currently, this means that once you have two charges provided by rank 3, the ideal method for using this is to cast it once, let it fully reset, then cast it twice in quick succession to maximize the DoT’s damage. The overall damage gain is not dramatic, but it is a useful way to push your damage to its limits.
Rotationally, this Major Power doesn’t have a dramatic effect. It is the highest-priority damage skill in single target for maximizing total DPS, so use it, then proceed with your normal ability priority. In AoE or while
天神下凡
is active, it is just behind
雷霆一击
- like everything else.
It can also be used as a heal in a pinch. It’s not a great healing tool, but it’s better than nothing, and certainly better than dying.

Uses: More Rage. RAAAAAAAAAGE!
Rage is a valuable resource, but not generally in the “Give me a long cooldown for Rage generation!” sense. This power isn't terrificfor Protection Warriors on paper, but it is a very powerful all-around cooldown in Mythic+, briefly turning you into an
无视苦痛
-spamming machine! This has made it extremely popular in high-level Mythic+ pushing due to its exceptional synergy with the rest of Protection Warrior's Rage generation and cooldown reduction toolkit.
Note:
This will increase your Rage generation from all sources, including
震耳嗓音
, so get ready to
WASTE! SOME! RAGE!
The minor power is extremely appealing, effectively tossing several more cans of gasoline onto the raging inferno that is
愤怒掌控
. The Versatility and heal are not bad, either.
The minor power is exceptional from rank 1, but the major power grows significantly in power with each rank, so for alts and returning players, be sure to level this power up as quickly as you can! Going from a fresh character to rank 3 takes 20 days of Nazjatar Bodyguard questing at worst, but there are plenty of methods you can use to speed this process up. Doing 3 quests a day for 2-3 weeks to unlock a solid guaranteed power boost isn't bad!

Uses: Burst AoE, add spawns, Mythic+ Dungeons
This power has a pretty obvious niche: AoE tanking. The heal it provides is considerable, but given the lengthy cooldown, this Essence is primarily focused around its value as an AoE damage skill. This can provide Protection Warriors with yet another solid tool in their already-excellent AoE DPS toolkit - but it's probably going to always be second place in that category.
The stacking health buff afforded by the Minor Power is fine, nothing all too special on its own, but increasing your health pool as a tank is not bad!
Effect on gameplay
With any other cooldown, you would aim to line up all of your trinket procs, enchant procs, and so on to maximize the damage your cast does. Since Anima of Death’s damage is based solely on your maximum health pool, there’s not really a lot to line up. You can use
破釜沉舟
to provide extra damage & healing. Nothing wrong with that.
Just try to hit as many targets as you can with each cast, the end.

Uses: Patchwerk fights.
Strength is not a bad stat and it does translate directly into an armor increase, but it’s not particularly amazing, point-for-point. This Power grants a large amount of Strength in exchange for not moving around. That’s not a great trade. The Major Power now quadruples the amount of Strength you gain, but giving up other Major Powers for it still doesn't feel great.
In conclusion: This has become a viable Major Power, and it is hypothetically the best option for burst AoE DPS, but it's not great in single target and it requires other players to use it -- and for everyone to remain relatively stationary -- for it to achieve its maximum value. Meh.

Uses: Reducing burst damage, dangerous raid bosses, Tyrannical Mythic+ Dungeons
The Major Power is a simple, but potent defensive cooldown for a short window. This is not an all-the-time option, but potentially a very valuable choice for mitigating damage from especially hard-hitting bosses during progression. It can potentially be useful for mitigating huge bursts of boss damage during Tyrannical weeks in Mythic+ dungeons, as well.
The Minor Power is a big chunk of reactive armor, which can be helpful in Mythic+ dungeons.
This is notably the highest-rated defensive power for Protection Warriors, and it’s only listed at the Mid Tier. The class already has an enormous bag of defensive cooldowns, and while this one is not bad, it offers nothing special, just another keybind that briefly reduces damage taken by a large percentage. While that’s good, sacrificing
完美愿景
or
烈焰熔炉
to take it is not typically going to be the right move.
Effect on gameplay
The effect is simple, but powerful. Are you about to take an amount of damage that will kill you unless you use a defensive cooldown? Use this. Don’t die. The end.

Granting
雷霆打击
, this trait doesn’t seem like it has a ton of PvE potential. The ability to root packs of enemies is interesting, especially for kiting, but there are superior kiting alternatives, such as
沉抑之球
. One positive note: the root from
雷霆打击
counts as a "loss of control" effect, triggering the double Versatility component of Rank 3's Major Power, making this Major Power worth a whopping 800-ish Versatility at rank 3. Given that the Minor Power is worth half as much without requiring a Major, this is *probably* not worth wearing under normal circumstances, but it can be reasonably competitive with more conventional options such as Vision of Perfection and The Crucible of Flame.
The Minor Power grants a very nice stacking Versatility buff. It’s simple, but good. No complaints.
Effect on gameplay
While the effect is passive and very brief, if you move out of melee range with an enemy that is rooted, it will attempt to autoattack anyone else who is in melee range with it - even if they do not have threat. Be careful that if you do use this Major Power, you don’t inadvertently kill your melee dps.
Do it intentionally.

Uses: AoE damage, teleporting?, Mythic+ Dungeons
Despite being initially dismissed by most of the tanking community as "some dumb world PvP thing," this essence's major power is competitive in AoE DPS with Anima of Life and Death - potentially a superior AoE DPS option due to the fact that it scales with Versatility and can crit (Anima of Life and Death
only
scales with health pool). The 10% damage reduction defensive component added at rank 3 is pretty decent.
Now for the downsides - lining it up to effectively hit every target is clumsier than Anima of Life and Death, it requires world PvP to unlock, which is kind of a bummer, and the minor power is fine, but unremarkable.

Uses: Steal Major Powers from your DPS!
This Essence's Major Power allows you to copy Major Powers from other players - even DPS-only essence powers! That's pretty cool, but the added cooldown really cuts into its value in a lot of situations. Being able to steal
生命之凝力
or
仇敌之血
could provide value burst dps in some scenarios, but it probably won't wind up being a go-to.

Uses: Fortified Mythic+ Dungeons (Necrotic affix!), kiting trash or add packs
The major power has two separately useful, conflicted effects. The movement speed slow and movement speed increase are excellent for kiting, and this Major Power can be useful for kiting packs of Fortified Mythic+ mobs, especially during Necrotic weeks. The attack speed slow is also be helpful for reducing Necrotic stack application. Given that autoattack damage is a major source of tank damage taken, a 25% attack speed slow is a legitimate defensive cooldown - albeit totally useless against spell damage.
The Minor Power’s reactive movement speed slow can be slightly annoying when trying to quickly reposition mobs, but can be helpful for kiting. The Haste and movement speed are very good, but there is a slight issue with slow-immune mobs. If an enemy cannot be slowed, it will not trigger the buff granting Haste and Speed. Bummer.
Unfortunately, this power is a bit too redundant with Warrior's already-solid mobility and doesn't provide any kind of major offensive power to compete with the top-tier options. As a result, while it has some interesting concepts, it gets left in the dust pretty easily.
Effect on gameplay
Knowing when and where to kite is a key skill for tanks in high-level Mythic+. Protection Warriors are already decent at kiting, but this can make it easier, reducing the need to skillfully create space with
英勇飞跃
and good footwork. Just press
抑制冲动
and bravely run away!

Uses: A defensive cooldown, but bad
Behold, the hottest of garbage! Flat damage reduction cooldowns generally aren’t very good - although they do favor tanks with high armor values. Protection Warriors have high armor values! Still, this is not a good defensive cooldown. The only scenario in which this could be useful is if you are tanking a massive number of enemies for a brief stretch of time. That kind of situation isn’t usually that dangerous, at least while
盾牌格挡
is active, and this Power is not tuned sufficiently to be useful in other scenarios.
The Minor Power’s stacking Versatility buff is good in AoE, but only in AoE.
Effect on gameplay
Ideally you would use this cooldown while tanking a large group of adds or multiple trash packs in a Mythic+ dungeon. There are better alternatives right now, but if it is retuned it could be a useful defensive cooldown in AoE situations.

Uses: Reducing burst spell damage from raid bosses
This Major Power is, tragically, on the global cooldown. If it were not, it still wouldn’t be a tremendous defensive tool. It’s an absorb worth ~40% of your health pool, which is not bad, but not great. The cooldown is 135 seconds, which is far too long, and again -
IT’S ON THE GLOBAL COOLDOWN.
All in all, this Essence looks like it could be a useful defensive cooldown against magic damage, but leaves far too much to be desired.
The minor power is very nice for reducing a steady trickle of spell damage. No complaints!
Effect on gameplay
You would use this Power to reduce your damage taken from a large, predictable burst of boss spell damage, but thanks to its long cooldown and mediocre absorb value - and the limitation of it being on the global cooldown -
艾泽拉斯的不朽赐福
is a stronger, more versatile, easier-to-use alternative that won’t interfere with your rotation.
Best Protection Warrior Minor Essences
Three additional Minor Essence slots are unlocked with Heart of Azeroth levels, providing additional benefit. While the above rankings already detailed several minor bonuses, the rankings below consider only the Minor or how it might interact when using it alongside a different Major Essence.

Uses: Increasing

If you aren’t specced into this Essence’s Major Power, its Minor Power still provides a meaningful increase to your
天神下凡
uptime, and it should absolutely be a high-priority option. This Minor Power grants the bulk of its value with rank 1, which is nice, but you'll still want to go for rank 3 for the boost it grants to the Major Power.
清醒梦境之忆

明晰意图珍珠
Uses: Having more Rage than ever before.
Increasing your Rage generation has a ton of benefits: it increases your damage output, damage reduction, and has an awesome positive feedback loop with
愤怒掌控
. This means that the more Rage you generate, the more you reduce your cooldowns - cooldowns that generate Rage and feed into
愤怒掌控
.
This power provides a significant increase to Rage generation (currently ~7.5%), and the Versatility and healing are not bad, either. The full Rage refund component is granted starting at rank 1, with the subsequent ranks only granting increased healing and a Versatility proc, so it's always a good choice no matter the rank.
虚无粹源
-
虚无之力中和器
Uses: General gameplay, all content
This provides spell damage reduction, which isn't really a huge problem for Protection Warriors, but it's still a good, steady source of damage reduction and damage output - at rank 3. Before rank 3, it's only worth spell damage reduction, and that's not good enough to compete.
At rank 3, this is an extremely effective power in raids, the #1 option on most fights.
Effect on gameplay
Passive spell damage reduction and damage output. It's nice!
冲突与斗争
-
肋骨统御项圈
Uses: General gameplay, all content
Versatility is a good stat for Protection Warriors, and this provides a significant amount of it.

Effect on gameplay
It’s a passive stat proc, so there’s not really anything to manage. It’s good, though!
深渊之护
-
再生渊障
Uses: Tanking large AoE packs
Versatility is a good stat, and you always want more of it. This can provide a decent amount, but requires that you are tanking a pretty large pack of mobs to make full use of it. This trait has the potential to be a meaningful stat gain in some large-scale AoE scenarios, but also a pretty lackluster option in suboptimal situations. As a result, this Power straddles the line between good and awful, to an extent. The healing is also decent.
This minor power grants its full Versatility buff starting with rank 1, so for alts and returning players, it's a powerful and easy to obtain option even from rank 1 when you're still trying to acquire and level your Essences.
烈焰熔炉
-
赤色龙母的淬火之鳞
Uses: Single target damage, all content, general gameplay
At ranks 2 and 3, this adds a very respectable amount of damage in single target, although it does not scale into AoE in a significant way. This is a top-tier DPS option for single target fights in raids, although you will do better with other options for AoE fights and Mythic+ dungeons.

The downsides are considerable - having to move large distances greatly diminishes this trait's power. As a result, it's not great for movement-based fights and Mythic+, but for raid fights with limited movement? Whenever other group members are running it? It's extremely good!
While it isn't great, it's very easy to get up to Rank 2 for returning players and alts (just run a handful of Island Expeditions and do the table mission!), and it's a decent all-around option that's useful in most scenarios for a character that's still acquiring and leveling the rest of their Essences.

汲取动力之球
Uses: Mythic+, general gameplay, kiting
Unlike the Major Power, this Minor just provides a small reactive slow and a decent chunk of Haste and movement speed. Haste is the best stat for Protection Warriors and this provides a big chunk of it! The slow could potentially be inconvenient at times, but it can be helpful, as well. The Minor Power from this trait and Conflict and Strife are extremely competitive with each other. This one has a slightly lower potential ceiling, but requires a lot less rampup time to activate.
The sole drawback is that the Haste and Speed buff will not trigger against enemies that are immune to slows, which means bosses and generally the
most
dangerous trash mobs in Mythic+. That's a pretty huge drawback. Bummer!

隐秘迷宫法器
Uses: All content
While it lacks the interesting offensive power of its corresponding Major Power, the health provided by this Minor Power is a decent dramatic increase to overall survival, and useful in virtually any scenarios. It even interacts positively with
破釜沉舟
, too! The undesired effect of failing you when your health dips below 35% is a bummer, but this is otherwise a helpful all-purpose defensive option.

调和的艾泽里特矿层
Uses: Reducing burst damage, Extremely dangerous raid bosses, Tyrannical Mythic+ dungeons
Provides a simply enormous amount of reactive armor when your health falls below 35%. This is a decent, safe defense-only trait for Mythic+ dungeons and hard-hitting bosses alike. It is unfortunately diminished by Warrior's already-enormous armor values.

坚韧的战场纪念品
Uses: Movement, general gameplay
A small, but constantly available movement speed increase is okay. It’s not really competitive with any of the alternatives under normal circumstances, but there are potential scenarios in which this Minor Power could have unexpected value.

易爆虚空液球
Uses: Corruption Resistance and Strength/Haste!
This Essence's Minor Power grants you Corruption Resistance (obviously!), and both Strength and Haste whenever a nearby ally uses a Major Power. This is the strongest of the three Corruption Resistance Minor Powers in raids in terms of individual power, but it is less versatile than
勇卫之力
, and doesn't confer the excellent +3% health bonus to your co-tank. It's good, but a little selfish.

失衡战略手册
Uses: Corruption Resistance and Health!
This Essence's Minor Power grants you Corruption Resistance (obviously!), a modest amount of HPS, and +3% more health for all tanks in the raid. The healing gain is small, but everything counts in Mythic+ and on some of the harder-hitting raid encounters. It's really not worth all that much healing in raids, but because the health increase stacks, it's a good bonus to pick up on behalf of your co-tank if either of you are struggling defensively. If you are in a 3-tank fight (or more, such as the 30-tank raids that have hilariously Twilight Devastated Ny'alotha!), the synergy of all tanks running this trait to boost the entire tank group's health is totally worth it!
It's not as good as
无形虚空
in raids offensively under normal circumstances, but it's a decent option to bump up your defense, and it is powerful offensively if you're stacking it on more than just two tanks.

回春年轮树枝
Uses: Corruption Resistance and a very minor cooldown!
This Essence's Minor Power grants you Corruption Resistance (obviously!), and a very minor defensive buff when your health dips low. It's bad.
