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.

Arcane Mage 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.
Best Arcane Mage 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 Essences you should consider using when playing an Arcane Mage. Anything not listed is currently considered undesirable or has no noteworthy interaction.
Do not activate any of the Essence Major effects during cooldowns like
Arcane Power
and
Rune of Power
. Class cooldowns do not affect the direct damage that Essences deal.

Use on: Single target, group content, consistent damage
The uptime on Shards is very high (generally above 90% for one Shard and 50% for two, if you can remain still), which makes this a strong Essence if movement is not a factor - which are generally the fights you will play Arcane on, anyway. However, any repositioning that takes you out of range of your Shards will hurt your damage.

Use on: General gameplay, burst
The summoned Guardian lines up with every other
奥术强化
cast and can contribute a significant amount of damage by itself. At Rank 3 it lasts for 30 seconds and provides a stacking haste buff, which could help squeeze an extra
奥术冲击
into Arcane Power.
The Minor Power activates often and increases the damage you deal against the target by 3% for 6 seconds; it has an uptime of around 45%, making it very strong.
Effect on gameplay
Summon the Guardian slightly before starting your burn phase, to allow the haste buff to stack.

Use on: Burst AoE, single target (if viable)
A strong Essence for AoE or single target, helping to supplement Arcane’s extremely strong AoE burst damage. The short (12-yard) range is not an issue for us as we will be in melee range for AoE anyway.
The Minor Power is useful and entirely passive, so there is no need to worry about micromanaging it. Both critical strike and haste are useful stats.
Effect on gameplay
You should aim to line the Major effect up with other burst cooldowns, like
奥术强化
and trinkets (use it
before
activating any class cooldowns).

Use on: Burst AoE as the highest priority, M+
Has the highest burst AoE potential, although the cast and channel time makes it tricky to use. It fires a beam in front of you, so positioning is key (but reasonably easy to achieve as a ranged spec - if you’re not already in melee casting Arcane Explosion).
The Minor Power provides a consistent Haste buff. It also has a
very
short duration (it almost falls off between Arcane Blast casts), making it easy to lose if your casts are interrupted for any reason. 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 up and grouped well enough to hit them with the beam. The essence has a cast time and then a channel, so you should 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.
The Minor Power drops if you switch targets (it will stay up if you continue to cleave them), so you should really only use it for single-target encounters and on M+ Tyrannical weeks.

Use on: Single target
A very simple Essence, it has no interaction with our spec but deals high damage. Gains two charges at Rank 3; use it for burst at this point by using one charge, waiting for it to refill and then using both charges at once.
The Minor Power is a simple DoT application from spells and attacks.
Effect on gameplay
Very little, simply remember to use the ability on a priority target whenever it's available, although not during cooldowns.

Use on: Cooldown syncing
The Major and Minor effects from this Essence grant mana for Arcane Mages, although the long cooldown and relatively weak effect (it does not synch with Arcane Power) of the Major Power mean that there are superior Essences available.
The Minor effect can significantly lengthen the burn phase and make the conserve phase easier, especially without Rule of Threes.
Effect on gameplay
Use during the burn phase, after Arcane Power has faded.

Use on: Single target, all content, general gameplay
This Essence’s proc is hard to take advantage of, as the buff is only 3.5 seconds long at its maximum rank. In the real world this is difficult to use, especially if it happens during a conserve phase - ideally the procs would happen during your burn, after Arcane Power has faded but before you drop your Arcane Charge stacks. You cannot rely on this, and it's best treated as a simple passive effect.
The Minor Power is not very useful as it does not affect Evocation, which it is important to synchronise with Arcane Power.
Effect on gameplay
Both effects are entirely passive, resulting in little need for optimization or extra effort.

Use on: Sustained Multi-target, Mythic+
Not as bursty as the Focusing Iris, but has a shorter cooldown and is not channeled, allowing it to be used more frequently without interrupting your own abilities. The damage increase on kill can also continue to benefit you after killing off weaker enemies in groups with a strong target.
More importantly, the Minor Power
also
deals AoE damage, and so the combined effect of both Major and Minor makes it a very strong choice for content with sustained multi-target, such as Mythic+ dungeons and Horrific Visions.
Effect on gameplay
Activate as soon as the boss/pack is pulled, and on-cooldown thereafter (unless you need to save it for an add spawn or similar that will appear soon - don’t hold the cooldown for long, as it’s so short). The Essence has no synergy with our talent choices.

Use on: AoE
The Major effect is practically useless for Mages, due to Blink/Shimmer (and the fact that we rarely want to be teleporting
in
to groups of enemies).
The Minor effect can be useful if you manage to activate it, but there are many better Essences available.
闪光术
behaves oddly with this Essence; you need to manually move a small distance for the Minor effect to activate, even after Blinking twice. A single
闪现术
/Shimmer +
闪回
will not proc the Essence, as you haven't moved 25 yards from your starting point.
Effect on gameplay
If you're forced to use this, either use it to get in to a group of enemies and begin AoEing, or use it to get out of a sticky situation and take 10% reduced damage after doing so.

Use on: Virtually everything
This Essence should really only be used with both the Major and Minor Power together. The on-use effect does very little damage unless it critically strikes, and the Minor Power grants a fairly regular critical strike buff.
Effect on gameplay
Combine the use of the Major Power with procs from the Minor Power.

Use on: Group content
NEW IN 8.3 Another unusual Essence; it allows you to potentially use multiple Majors in a single fight, but with a longer cooldown. This is not a price worth paying for the versatility of switching Essences, however.
The Minor effect, on the other hand, is very strong when multiple people in your group are using short-cooldown Essences, like
烈焰熔炉
.
Effect on gameplay
Be aware of which players in your group are using the most advantageous Essences for your situation, i.e. Focusing Iris when AoE is called for, or Condensed Life-force for burst damage.
AoE encounters change the order of Essences significantly. The best AoE damage Essences are:
仇敌之血
聚焦之虹的精华
净化协议
Best Arcane Mage Minor Essences
Two 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. Anything not listed is currently considered undesirable or has no noteworthy interaction.
冲突与斗争
Use on: General gameplay
The Minor Power grants a stacking, passive increase to versatility, which is a strong stat for Arcane.
Effect on gameplay
None.
聚焦之虹的精华
Use on: Single target, group content
The consistent haste buff from this Minor stacks and falls off quickly - making it most useful in fights where you can chain-cast, but not unusable in fights where you have to pause in attacking or change targets.
Effect on gameplay
It is difficult to stack this and then enter the burn phase, as the buff will fall off while between placing Rune of Power and casting your first Arcane Blast; treat it as a passive effect instead.
仇敌之血
Use on: General gameplay
A very strong and entirely passive Minor Power, so there is no need to worry about micromanaging it. Both critical strike and haste are always useful stats.
Effect on gameplay
None.
濒死之息
Use on: Encounters with execute phases
NEW IN 8.3 Like
烈焰熔炉
, this is a very simple Essence that deals direct damage, but with the added bonus of activating more often at the end of a fight.
Effect on gameplay
None.
生命之凝力
Use on: Single target and cleave encounters
The Minor Power activates often, increasing your damage done against the target.
Effect on gameplay
Don’t change your rotation to take advantage of the damage buff, just treat it as a nice passive bonus.
烈焰熔炉
Use on: Single target, general gameplay
A passive DoT applied to your abilities. Strong, but nothing to play around or pay attention to.
Effect on gameplay
None.
Use on: Group content
NEW IN 8.3 The Minor effect is very strong when multiple people in your group are using short-cooldown Essences, like
烈焰熔炉
.
Effect on gameplay
Be aware of which players in your group are using the most advantageous Essences for your situation, i.e. Focusing Iris when AoE is called for, or Condensed Life-force for burst damage.
清醒梦境之忆
Use on: Cooldown syncing
The Minor effect can significantly lengthen the burn phase and make the conserve phase easier, especially without Rule of Threes.
Effect on gameplay
None - totally passive.
世界血脉共鸣
Use on: Single target, group content, consistent damage
This Essence’s Minor effect is most useful in group content and when a fight favours consistent damage over burst windows - although Arcane is a more bursty spec.
Effect on gameplay
Plan your movement accordingly and try to remain near the spawned Shards at all times.
净化协议
Use on: Sustained Multi-target, Mythic+
One of the few Minor Powers that deals AoE damage, and with a relatively fast proc rate, making it well suited for sustained multi-target such as Mythic+ dungeons.
Effect on gameplay
Passive, but the AoE hits enemies within 8 yards of your primary target, so be careful of using it with crowd-controlled enemies nearby.
不羁之力
Use on: Virtually everything
Has a very strange design. It actually
devalues
critical strike in order to proc more often, and at 20 RPPM (multiplied by haste), it will proc every 2-3 seconds, resulting in effectively a 100% crit buff for 4 seconds every 40-50 seconds. While it does have negative synergy with virtually everything that increases critical strike chance, it can still provide a lot of potential power over time.
Effect on gameplay
As casters, it is difficult to line up the crit buff with trinkets or other powerful/short duration on-use effects. You should not change your rotation during the buff, but should make sure to use the Major Power from this Essence while it is active.
Typically do not line the proc up with
仇敌之血
’s Major effect, as it will waste the additional critical strike chance.
空间涟漪
Use on: High movement encounters
闪光术
behaves oddly with this Essence; you need to manually move a small distance for the Minor effect to activate, even after Blinking twice. A single
闪现术
/Shimmer +
闪回
will not proc the Essence, as you haven't moved 25 yards from your starting point.
Effect on gameplay
None. Don't try and Shimmer just to activate the Essence before cooldowns, it's not worth it.
完美愿景
Use on: M+, General gameplay
Having a shorter cooldown can be a disadvantage in raid encounters if Heroism/Bloodlust/Time Warp is saved for a specific moment, as it will cause your cooldown to de-synchronise with other players’. This Essence also doesn't effect Evocation, only Arcane Power, making it very weak for Arcane in any group content. However, it can be a major boon in the outdoor world.
Effect on gameplay
Passive, so almost none. Get used to the new length of your Arcane Power cooldown and use it accordingly, making sure that you have it available when you need it (cooldown-syncing, dungeon bosses, etc).

I think the article should mention where to get these essences, and if unknown, should mention that as well.

The information regarding Ripple in Time is incorrect. It *does* work while blinking
(and while mounted!) so long as you are in combat. I just ran tests on this myself, and it *does* work with blink, while on a mount, AND while running in a circle. So it is not "25 yds from your starting location" but rather 25 yds covered in any way. But it only works if you are in combat, so you can't blink toward someone and then attack and have the buff. But if you're blinking around while in combat, it *will* work.
This makes it very useful as a minor power for those of us who play mages as zoomy, blinky nightmares who melee can't get close enough to hit. :D
