Subtlety Rogue Essence Simulations
We have comparative simulations for each of the different Major and Minor essence powers, courtesy of SimulationCraft, Bloodmallet, and other class tools. Don't forget that this is simply an overview; you can create your own comparisons as well as combinations of different essences you have unlocked on your character using
Raidbots
Top Gear function. If you are not already familiar with Raidbots and how to use it, take a look at our
How To Guide
.
Again, this is simply an overview. Certain Essences, such as Worldvein minor, may be worse in practice on encounters with heavy movement or when you are the only player in your group using it. Reference the Essence notes and recommendations below to see how your spec can best take advantage of each individual power.
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.
Learn more about Echoes of Ny'alotha in our Guide
Best Subtlety Rogue 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 Subtlety Rogue.
Keep in mind that each rank of each essence comes from a predetermined source, so plan accordingly. While the first rank of each essence is intended to be acquired relatively easily, the following ranks are meant to be increasingly time consuming, and many cannot be rushed.
世界血脉共鸣
-
波动世界血脉
Source: Island Expeditions (click for details!)
Rank 1: Complete the weekly quest
联盟的艾泽里特
/
部落的艾泽里特
.
Rank 2: Combine
泽姆兰的失落藏宝图碎片
from island expeditions.
Rank 3: Complete the mission chain starting with "A Disturbing Rumor".
Rank 4: Complete a specific
神秘的藏宝图
mission.
Use for: Any content where you think you can stand close to your shards during the major buff, especially with allies that use it too.
This essence has been changed to provide additional primary stat in 8.3, turning the major into a pretty strong cooldown, even if you do not have allies with it around you.
Effect on gameplay
You can effectively use it on cooldown, but try to make sure you can stay close to the shards for its duration. If you can't do this consistently, other essences may be better. It should sync up perfectly with every second
死亡符记
.
濒死之息
-
死亡合唱徽记
Source: Uldum Accord Reputation
Use for: Single Target, AoE/M+ (with sniping opportunitites), Execute, Solo
This essence is often considered The Crucible of Flame 2.0 because it is fairly easy to get and compares similarly or better. It is a good major essence with a good minor part. The low cooldown windows above 80% and below 20% are particularly interesting, which can even make this your goto essence if you want to focus on these periods or have very long versions of them.
At rank 3 it gets yet another effect that, if used well, can potentially make this the strongest major essence. If you use it within 3 seconds before your target dies, the double damage buff will apply for 30 seconds, meaning you do not have to make the actual killing blow with it. On trash and adds, usually using it around 300k HP is a good idea. You can roll over the buff from enemy to enemy and only have a 5-second cooldown. Pretty nice for dungeons or affixes where you kill enemies one after the other.
Effect on gameplay
You can use this on cooldown outside of
暗影之舞
but it is worth holding for the reduced cooldown if the target reaches 20% within the next 20s. It is also worth holding for the death sniping effect if you have trash/adds that will die soon.

聚焦之虹的稳定透镜

Rank 1: Complete a +4 Mythic dungeon in season 3.

Rank 4: Complete

Use for: AoE, M+
Has the highest burst AoE potential, although the cast and channel time makes it trickier to use. It also fires a beam in front of you, rather than hitting an area around your character, so proper positioning is key.
The minor power provides a consistent Haste buff. Although it is passive, it also has a very short duration, making it easy to fall off -
飞镖投掷
can be used to help maintain it when moving out of range for short periods of time, but will not be able to keep it up indefinitely from range. Fortunately, the effect stacks on every damaging cast, so if it does fall, it will stack back up very quickly.
Effect on gameplay
Because of the cast time, it's important to have a good sense of timing and understanding so that you know when multiple targets will be available and grouped up well enough to hit them with the beam. You can ideally begin casting it
before
the targets appear or get in range, in order to maximize damage while minimizing time spent unable to cast your own abilities.
Keep in mind that this essence is available to all DPS classes, and any encounter with a heavy burst AoE element will likely have multiple players using it, so proper positioning and timing is essential to maximizing its damage potential. Too many players using it can also very likely overkill the targets, resulting in lost damage for everyone involved, so it may be worth staggering or forgoing its use altogether.
For Subtlety and because of the cast time, it can be worth to only use this outside
死亡符记
, even against multiple targets if they live long enough.

Use for: Single target at rank 3
This is a numerically very powerful essence with an active that deals good damage and provides a buff. Most of the benefit comes from the major part, but the minor is still a nice addition. It has been nerfed in 8.3 and is now a fair backup essence if you have it at rank 3.
Effect on gameplay
This essence's damage is not affected by damage increases from your abilities, so you can effectively use it on cooldown.

Rank 4:

Use for: Any content
A pretty good all around essence for most situations. The cooldown lines up perfectly with
死亡符记
meaning you can bolster every third (fourth at rank 1) Symbols window with more spicey crits and thus create higher burst. This also looks promising with the typical AoE build using
黑暗之影
and
影分身
.
The minor power is also useful, but entirely passive so you will not need to worry about micromanaging it. The critical strike increase will ideally help push you toward 100% chance to crit (without going over, if possible!), while haste is still a useful stat.
Effect on gameplay
Keep in mind that the damage of the essence itself is not affected by damage increases from your abilities but you should always set it up for
死亡符记
in order to benefit from the crit boost for the full duration.

Use for: Alternative, lacking other essences
The Crucible is a solid essence, especially if we consider that it is the first one you get and the easiest to unlock. This deals a good amount of damage, most notably in longer fights when you can benefit from its own cycling buff.
The minor part contributes a damage over time effect that is equally good, so this essence makes up for a good option in any slot.
Effect on gameplay
This essence's damage is not affected by damage increases from your abilities, so you can effectively use it on cooldown outside of
死亡符记
. It is worth to make sure you do not cap energy during its global cooldown though. With the two charges on rank three, wait until the damage over time effect has expired before using the second charge.

Use for: Single target, you want no extra buttons
Vision is a fun and simple option as it is completely passive and requires no additional spot in the action bar. Procs, as well as cooldown reduction, of our major cooldown
暗影之刃
are very nice to have, especially on single target. This is not as good as other majors numerically, right now, but may be interesting if you want its simplicity.
Effect on gameplay
Both effects are entirely passive, resulting in little extra effort. If you get a proc during
暗影之刃
, it will extend the duration. If you want to use
暗影之刃
but the buff is already up, then wait with the cooldown until the buff runs out, since it will not extend but rather override the duration.

Use for: Anything if you just started out and do not have a minor-only slot unlocked yet
The activated ability doubles
all
energy generation, including that from standard spells, talents, and even azerite. For Subtlety, this can cause overcapping or gains you do not benefit too much from.
The minor power is really the best part of this package as it spreads out helpful energy gains over the full fight. Since this is the best minor essence and others have more benefit in the major part, my recommendation is to start with this essence in a major slot until you unlock a minor-only slot and put it there.
Effect on gameplay
For Subtlety, it is worth using this active ability only when at low energy (40 or less) during
死亡符记
, but never during
暗影之舞
. This also makes
夜行者
a good talent option and I recommend running a simulation for your character to compare it.

活跃艾泽里特晶簇
Source: Horrific Visions
Use for: Selflessly buffing your party
Overall this seems to be an essence you don't really want to use yourself but have others buff you with it. There could be potential situations where you want to coordinate and have somebody use this to buff other nearby essences for some burst, but those situations should be rather rare and it would be a safer and easier bet to just use other essences.

易爆虚空液球

Use for: You need to switch essences mid-fight for some reason
An interesting idea but also with limited and very specific use. Assuming you have people providing you with a fixed selection of major essences as proxies, you can use this to copy their essences and adjust mid-fight. It is, however, questionable, to what degree a damage dealer will benefit and should use this compared to a standard essence.

This is another AoE-focused essence, but numerically it does not compete with the Focusing Iris or even with some single target essences at the moment. Since it is easier to get, you can use it for AoE if you only have low-rank essences and did not unlock the Focusing Iris.

Use for: Utility
Our existing toolkit makes this fairly redundant for movement, even if it didn't have a significant opportunity cost. It's possible an encounter strategy could encourage it, but it would have to be the only option to warrant the damage loss of not taking a better essence.
The minor power is difficult to take advantage of and likely to proc when you don't benefit much from it in encounters with heavy movement.
暗影步
does not proc it because it is a teleport, though the speed boost from
疾跑
can help proc it quicker if you really wanted to.
Best Subtlety Rogue Minor Essences
Three additional Minor Essence slots can be unlocked over time, 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.

Use for: Any content
This is the best minor essence and a solid choice to put in a minor-only slot. The energy refund helps with getting a smoother rotation and can also make
夜行者
a solid option over
暗影集中
, something that many Subtlety rogues have been hoping for.
濒死之息

死亡合唱徽记
Source: Uldum Accord Reputation
Use for: Single target
A very solid new essence that also features a little healing effect and an execute bonus with rank 3. Besides, it has a noteworthy 10 Corruption resistance which can also translate into good DPS. It is a good choice for the third or fourth essence slot.

As a minor, this is a notable filler essence for both Single Target and AoE that you can consider for your third or fourth slot, depending on simulations.

强效净化协议
Source: Mechagon Reputation
Use for: AoE, M+
One of the few minor powers that deals AoE damage and it has a relatively short proc rate, making it well suited for sustained multi-target, such as in Mythic+ dungeons.
Effect on gameplay
Passive, but the AoE hits enemies within 8 yards of your primary target, so try to position accordingly.
世界血脉共鸣

波动世界血脉
Source: Island Expeditions
Use for: You have 3 allies that also use this essence.
As a minor power, this essence can be really good, assuming you also have 3 or more allies that use this. With rank 3 and about 3 nearby allies, you will be able to keep 100% uptime on 4 stacks of the buff which can make it strong, especially in raids where you have more melees around you. However, this can be less valuable if you have to move a lot.
Effect on gameplay
Passive, but the allies that use this essence have to be close to you.
烈焰熔炉

赤色龙母的淬火之鳞
Source: Starter Essence / Neck Level
Use for: Single target
The minor part contributes a damage over time effect that is fairly good on its own. A good single target minor essence best put in the third or fourth slot when unlocked and out of other great options.
仇敌之血

被征服者的翻腾之血
Source: Instanced PvP
Use for: Any content
Less awe-inspiring than its corresponding major, some value is lost between the long ramp, short duration, and somewhat negative synergy with Unbound Force. However, that doesn't mean it's
bad
by any means, and would still be a strong contender if it weren't already frequently gained from the major.
聚焦之虹的精华

聚焦之虹的稳定透镜
Source: Mythic+ Dungeons
Use for: Single Target (when using as minor)
The full potential of it lies in the major and as a minor essence it is less amazing, but it is a good option for the third or fourth slot against single targets and generally not too hard to stack and keep up.
灵感火花
-
活跃艾泽里特晶簇
Source: Horrific Visions
Use for: Group content
Not too bad if you have allies that can benefit from it too and you can make good use of the major essence cooldown reduction. It is an option you can consider depending on simulations as well as what else you have available at what rank. It comes with 10 corruption resistance (if you do not have it from another essence already).
无形虚空

Use for: Reduction adds another cooldown window
With even the major not being too powerful at the moment, the minor is even less desirable. The cooldown reduction it provides may seem nice but does not translate into too much of a gain. However, this can depend on fight length and is still an option if you run into timings in such a way that this cooldown reduction is key to getting to one more burst window.

极化的艾泽里特裂片
Source: Nazjatar Reputation
Use for: AoE, M+
This minor power has a curious design. It leads to a crit boost but is more efficient in ramping up when you do
not
critically strike, meaning it somewhat devalues crit. For Subtlety, this does not compare too well against other essences, however.
Effect on gameplay
You can keep an eye on stacks in order to time the 100% crit buff with
死亡符记
, trinkets, or other powerful/short duration on-use effects.

坚韧的战场纪念品

Use for: Utility
This minor power is somewhat difficult to take advantage of. While you can brute-force it and use it with cooldowns like
