Arms Warrior Essences Suggestions per Content Type
These are simple guidelines, based on activity and assumes you have all available essences unlocked at rank 3. Keep in mind that there will be many variations for things such as raiding and Mythic+, so reference those guide pages for more specific information. Arms in particular doesn't have much flexibility, as the specialization is fairly reliant on Lucid Dreams synergy with Colossus Smash and Test of Might in all content.

Arms Warrior 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 Arms 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 Arms Warrior. Anything not listed is currently considered undesirable or has no noteworthy interaction.
Keep in mind that each rank of each essence comes from a predetermined source and some cannot be unlocked as quickly as others, 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.

Use on: Everything, Huge Test of Might stacks
The activated ability doubles
all
rage generation, including auto attacks, standard spells, talents, Azerite traits, and even it's own minor power procs. Enormous synergy with
巨人打击
in order to create inordinately large
力量的考验
stacks, particularly when using
战斗狂热
. Overall very competitive with Condensed Life-Force on single target, and better with extra targets.
Effect on gameplay
Talent
战斗狂热
for both the higher rage cost leading to bigger Test of Might stacks and the condensed damage.
By far the best essence when stacking Test of Might and combined with Fervor of Battle. Lucid Dreams should be used immediately before Colossus Smash, spamming Mortal Strike and Whirlwind/Slam throughout its duration in order to build a large
力量的考验
buff.
剑刃风暴
should be used as soon as Lucid Dreams ends, during the Test of Might buff, to benefit from the large strength bonus. The large amount of cooldown reduction will cause Colossus Smash to come off cooldown again very quickly, and it should continue to be used on cooldown until Lucid Dreams cooldown is refreshed, at which point the cooldowns should be synchronized again, or saved for the Execute phase in order to create even bigger burst windows with Execute.
聚焦之虹的精华

Rank 1: Complete a +4 Mythic dungeon in season 3.
Rank 2: Complete a +7 Mythic dungeon in season 3.
Rank 3: Combine 15
聚焦生命心能
from the weekly cache.
Rank 4: Complete

.
Use on: Burst AoE
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.
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. The essence is castable while channeling, so 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.

Rank 3: Combine 27

Rank 4: Defeat Queen Azshara on Mythic difficulty.
Use on: Single Target
Second best behind Lucid, slightly more competitive if not using Fervor of Battle. The summoned guardian contributes a good deal of damage on its own, but at Rank 3 also maintains the
生命之凝力
debuff and a stacking Haste buff. The long duration covers
巨人打击
and
力量的考验
both, presenting not only very high burst output but high throughput as well, despite being predominantly single target only.
Effect on gameplay
Talent
撕裂
performs slightly better, due to extra buffs covering the full duration.
The Major syncs well with Colossus Smash, and the two should always be used together. Due to the long duration, it can be precast before charging on the pull without significant loss.

Rank 3: Complete the mission chain starting with "A Disturbing Rumor".
Rank 4: Complete a specific

Group Stacking
Provides an immense amount of strength on a relatively short cooldown, although can be hard to align with Colossus Smash to empower Test of Might. Ultimately lacks the synergy provided by Memory of Lucid Dreams, but can be an attractive option for those who do not wish to use it.
Effect on gameplay
Sync with other cooldowns and buffs such as Colossus Smash, Avatar, Test of Might, and Bladestorm. Ultimately weaker than the primary options for single and multitarget, but still one of the better alternative choices.

Use on: Sustained Multi-target, Mythic+
Is 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 makes it a very strong choice for content with sustained multi-target, such as Mythic+ dungeons (Blood of the Enemy is also strong in Mythic+, with more focus on single target boss damage, so make that determination based on what you expect to face or want to excel at).
Effect on gameplay
Use on cooldown outside of Colossus Smash or Test of Might, preferably whenever there are multiple targets.
濒死之息
Source: Uldum Accord Reputation (click for details!)
Use on: Single Target
Similar to, but slightly stronger than The Crucible of Flame. It doesn't have any DoT to juggle and doesn't take as many GCDs. Arms has a slightly easier time using it than most specs due to not being GCD locked, though it can still get in the way of other ability casts.
Effect on gameplay
Little to none, cast on cooldown outside of personal buffs and cooldowns.

Rank 2: Neck level 54 and

Rank 3: Neck level 60 and

Rank 4: Neck level 70 and

Use on: Single Target
Similar to Condensed Life-Force, this single target only essence trades buffs and debuffs for more direct damage. Unfortunately, player effects such as Colossus Smash do not affect the essences damage done, making it a strong and consistent, but somewhat bland choice. Its only real strength is proving a stable source of damage for severely undergeared players.
Effect on gameplay
At Rank 3, the Major has two charges and inflicts a short lived DoT, so it's best to space out its use in order to not overlap. Otherwise, simply use it on the pull, and then whenever Colossus Smash or Test of Might are not active.
仇敌之血

Rank 2:
战场斗士
, purchase from War Coordinator NPC.
Rank 3:
战场战术家
, purchase from War Coordinator NPC.
Rank 4:
战场大师

Use on: High crit burst
The short critical strike damage duration is difficult to take advantage of to provide a lengthy and consistent critical strike buff, which is subject to failure to crit. On single target,
专注决心药水
can be used to help increase the chance to crit, but it cannot be guaranteed, making it highly subject to RNG.
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 always a useful stat.
Effect on gameplay
Because of the short duration, it's best to use the essence during Test of Might, in order to fit as many global cooldowns inside the damage buff as possible.

Use on: General gameplay, Passive effects, Fun
While not the strongest option, Vision is nonetheless a fun and simple option, which may appeal to players who don't wish to go through the trouble of managing an extra button in their rotation. The bonus is versatile, providing benefit against both single and multiple targets, though not particularly advantageous.
Effect on gameplay
Both effects are entirely passive, resulting in little optimization or extra effort.

Rank 4: Nazjatar reputation Paragon cache.
Use on: Sustained combat
The major has little value on its own, as it relies on critical hits for maximum output, but its cooldown tends to line up rather well with the reaching 20 stacks of
无畏之力
, giving it high shotgun value. This burst value is strong, but difficult to use effectively, given how easy it is to mistime.
Effect on gameplay
Use on the pull, regardless of the chance to crit, and then save following uses for 20 stacks of
无畏之力
in order to maximize its burst damage.
灵感火花
Source: Horrific Visions of N'Zoth (click for details!)
Support
Buffs the damage of allies instead of contributing damage itself. Theoretically useful for carries and undergeared alts who won't contribute much damage on their own, but little practical use compared to maximizing personal damage.
无形虚空
Source: Ny'alotha (click for details!)
None
Allows players to copy an allies essence on a longer cooldown, providing theoretical flexibility, but overall weaker than simply using the copied essence directly. Little practical use, unless for some reason it is the only essence unlocked.

英勇飞跃
makes this fairly redundant, 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.
Best Arms Warrior 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.
聚焦之虹的精华
Use on: Sustained single target
Very useful given Arms dependency on Haste, but it has a very short duration, making it easy to fall off -
英勇投掷
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.
濒死之息
Single Target
Provides entirely passive direct damage, but very powerful at rank 3 due to the increased proc rate in execute.
冲突与斗争
Everywhere
Much stronger than it might at first appear, due to the amount of external damage sources. Easy to maintain in constant combat, and the increased versatility also provides a small defensive benefit.
世界血脉共鸣
Raid stacking
Quite formidable with multiple players stacking it, but can be hard to take advantage of on encounters with heavy movement due to the proximity requirements.
净化协议
Use on: Sustained Multi-target, Mythic+
One of the few minor powers which deals AoE damage, and with a relatively short proc rate, making it well suited for sustained multi-target, such as in Mythic+ dungeons. The AoE hits all enemies within 8 yards of the primary target, so try to position accordingly. Deals even more damage against aberrations, becoming single target viable.
仇敌之血
Use on: High crit burst
Easy to maintain and stacks very fast in multitarget situations, creating a very high uptime. The corresponding Haste proc is more important than the Crit buff, particularly if it can be aligned with Colossus Smash, Test of Might, or another damage increasing effect.
烈焰熔炉
Use on: Single Target
Passive single target damage, though at Rank 3 it can stack, thereby inflicting more damage in sustained combat than when constantly target switching such as in Mythic+.
生命之凝力
Use on: Single Target
Passively deals damage which inflicts
生命之凝力
at Rank 3, averaging around 30% uptime.
灵感火花
Organized Raiding
Theoretically strong due to the ability to reduce the cooldown of Memory of Lucid Dreams, but individually weak. Would require not only multiple players in the group using the essence, but also some luck and well timed encounter lengths to make the most of.
清醒梦境之忆
Use on: Everywhere
Very strong, but will almost always be taken as the major instead of a minor choice.
不羁之力
Use on: General gameplay
Takes approximately 45-50 seconds to stack, with a very short window of opportunity, which makes it very easy to waste if Mortal Strike, Execute, Bladestorm or some other high damage ability isn't available during that window without careful micromanagement.
完美愿景
Use on: General gameplay
Unfortunately, reducing the cooldown of Bladestorm has negative synergy with Colossus Smash, Test of Might, and many majors, due to causing desync with their on-use effects.
无形虚空
Organized Raiding
Not actually terrible, but too random to efficiently align with Arms burst phases during Colossus Smash and Test of Might.
空间涟漪
???
Difficult to use in many encounters and just as likely to proc when you don't want it to in encounters with heavy movement. Unfortunately Heroic Leap does not proc it, despite moving far enough, though the speed boost from
腾跃步伐
can help proc it quicker if you really wanted to.

In the guide, sym on minor Lucid is top both single and aoe amongst minors, yet it's in the bottom tier in the tiers tab.
I'm running Lucid because it surely feels good, versa+rage+healing when procs. Instantly feeling that power.
