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 your highest 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 Agility, Haste, and valuable Corruption Resistance. This is a good one to pick up from MOTHER.
Low Priority:
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
- It's your go-to Major Power, but unlocking higher ranks is as simple as leveling your Heart of Azeroth. There is no need to waste MOTHER purchases on Crucible.
勇卫之力
- It's a good defensive Minor Power that offers Corruption Resistance, some self-healing, and a health pool increase, but it's easy to farm solo. There's no reason to prioritize buying it when farming it is easy and, relatively speaking, pretty fun!
Essences in Patch 8.3
Patch 8.3 has added 3 new Essences available to Brewmaster Monks! 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 Brewmaster Monk 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 Brewmaster Monk.

Rank 3: Neck level 60 and

Rank 4: Neck level 70 and
蓝龙军团之雷
.
Uses: Single target damage, all content, general gameplay
The #1 overall DPS option. It’s extremely basic, but it is an excellent, reliable source of added damage that you can use to tag enemies from a 40 yard range. You can stick with this 100% of the time and
never
feel like it's the wrong choice.
The Minor Power also provides a steady stream of added damage. It’s not interesting mechanically, but the damage is great!
Effect on gameplay
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, it is behind
醉酿投
and
火焰之息
, but ahead of
幻灭踢
, so proceed accordingly.
If you are at rank 3 (and thus have two charges), keeping at least one charge on cooldown at all times is ideal.
It can also be used as a heal in a pinch. It’s not a good healing tool at all, but it is much better than dying!

Uses: Single target damage, all content, general gameplay
Granting
热酿
, this has the potential to be the highest damage Essence available to Brewmasters. At this point, most Mythic raid bosses don’t deal enough damage to make it outperform
烈焰熔炉
without deliberately taking extra damage (which is dumb). As a result, it's not a Major Power worth using in raids. This may change in future tiers!
In Mythic+ Dungeons, it can absolutely be the best offensive option depending on the weekly affixes and the Keystone Level. Fortified, Raging, and Teeming are all excellent Affixes for maximizing your ability to deal damage with
热酿
.
Because
热酿
splits its damage among all nearby targets, it isn't overpowered in AoE. That’s probably a good thing for overall game balance, but it does make this power a lot less spicy than it would be.
热酿
also has a cap of 20% of the Brewmaster’s health, meaning that at 500k health, Hot Trub would deal ~100k max damage per hit. As a result, intentionally taking unnecessary damage to increase your DPS via
热酿
is occasionally a usable strategy, but it's usually not worth the risk.
The Minor Power grants a very nice stacking Versatility buff. It’s simple, but strong. Two thumbs way up.
Effect on gameplay
While
热酿
is passive, with
活血酒
casts directly translating into damage, it can noticeably improve the value of Haste as an offensive stat.
Notably, this essence loses a ton of power during situations in which you aren’t constantly taking lots of damage, such as fights with Taunt-swaps, movement phases, or intermissions. As a result, while it’s an amazing choice under perfect conditions,
烈焰熔炉
is a more useful and reliable option in typical raid and M+ circumstances.

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 Major Power can provide Brewmasters with a burst AoE cooldown that the class is otherwise sorely lacking. Given that Brewmasters have the smallest health pools among the six tank classes, the actual offensive and healing value of this Essence's Major Power is a bit less appealing than it is for everyone else.
The stacking health buff afforded by the Minor Power is fine. It’s not all too special on its own, but increasing your health pool as a tank is not bad and Brewmaster defenses scale the best with flat health increases of any tank!
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
壮胆酒
. /shrug
Just try to hit as many targets as you can with each cast, the end.

Agility is not a bad stat, but it’s not particularly amazing, point-for-point. This Power grants a huge amount of Agility in exchange for not moving around. It sims relatively well in AoE, around the top of the pack but not quite #1. Unfortunately, the amount of setup required to make this operate at maximum efficiency really limits its viability. You need allies to also use it, you need them nearby, and you all need to not move much. Then you need a burst AoE scenario to use the Major Power. That's a ton of setup for an option that's not exactly #1 to begin. Not great.

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: 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 valuable choice for mitigating damage from especially hard-hitting bosses during progression. It can 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 high Mythic+ dungeons.
This is notably the highest-rated defensive power for Brewmaster Monks, and it’s only listed at the Mid Tier. This is for two reasons: 1) Brewmasters already have an exceptional defensive package, and they really need more offensive help than defensive help, and 2) Most of the other defensive traits are nightmarishly awful. You hate to see it, but at least this one is solid!
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.

Uses: Fortified Mythic+ Dungeons (Necrotic affix!), kiting trash or add packs
The major power has two separately useful, slightly conflicted effects. The movement speed slow and movement speed increase are excellent for kiting, and this Major Power will definitely be useful for kiting packs of Fortified Mythic+ mobs, especially during Necrotic weeks. The attack speed slow will also be helpful for reducing Necrotic stack application, especially against enemies that cannot be slowed. 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 fine, but not a huge deal.
Effect on gameplay
Knowing when and where to kite is a key skill for tanks in high-level Mythic+. Brewmasters are already excellent at kiting, and this makes it much easier, reducing the need to skillfully create space with
滚地翻
and
平心之环
. Just press

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.
Effect on gameplay
This essence can grant your powerful offensive cooldowns. It's that simple -- and that complicated!

Uses: Cheat Death! Be lame!
This Essence's Major Power grants you a Cheat Death effect with a 10-minute internal cooldown. At rank 3, the Cheat Death also resets the cooldown of

Uses: Hanging out with your good friend Angry Dave
Brewmasters are, along with Guardian Druids, one of the two specs with an asymmetrical design to Vision of Perfection. When Vision of Perfection triggers, it summons
玄牛下凡
, but it otherwise reduces the cooldown of
壮胆酒
.
玄牛下凡
could theoretically be useful in some scenarios to come out and taunt enemies - such as Necrotic mobs in Mythic+ dungeons. Since you can’t control when the proc occurs, that’s not really a viable strategy. In any case, he’s not all that great (despite having a cool nickname and a great model), so this isn’t a great essence. Lowering the cooldown of
壮胆酒
is decent, but not terribly competitive with other defensive Essences.
This Essence’s Powers fall right in the middle of being offensive and defensive, and unfortunately provide too little of either to be worth using regularly.
The Minor Power’s effects are fine, but not large enough to compensate for the Major Power’s lack of… uhhhh, power.
Effect on gameplay
This essence can make your most powerful defensive cooldown available more often, which is not bad. Since it has to already be on cooldown for that to matter and tanks don’t generally start fights off by popping all of their defensive cooldowns, this really doesn’t have much effect.

Uses: A defensive cooldown, but bad
Behold, the hottest of garbage! Flat damage reduction cooldowns generally aren’t very good - especially for tanks with low armor values. Monks are
by far
the tank with the lowest armor value. This is a bad cooldown, and it provides roughly 10-20% damage reduction at best while active in relatively high-level Mythic+ dungeons. Given that it’s on the GCD, has a long cooldown, and barely qualifies as a mediocre defensive cooldown, this Major Power should never be used.
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, and this Power is not tuned sufficiently to be useful for anything else.
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 heavily retuned it could be a useful defensive cooldown in large-scale 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, and adds a serious chunk of DPS as well! Rad!
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 Brewmaster Monk 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.
冲突与斗争
-
肋骨统御项圈
Uses: All content
Versatility is a very strong stat for Brewmasters, and this provides a significant amount of it. Each rank of this trait causes it to grant more Versatility value over the course of a fight than the rank that came before. While this means that you'll obviously want to get to rank 3 as quickly as possible, it's still very good even at ranks 1 and 2.
Effect on gameplay
It’s a passive stat proc, so there’s not really anything to manage. It’s extremely reliable, and really, really good!
虚无粹源
-
虚无之力中和器
Uses: Absorbing continuous spell damage
This offers a steady trickle of spell damage absorption and a very decent amount of DPS - more than some offensive Major Powers! It’s not always useful, but it falls into the category of “incredibly powerful when it is useful!” If you are going to consistently be taking spell damage, this an absolute must-have. Basically, use it for every fight in Ny'alotha!
This trait's damage conversion only applies at rank 3, so before that point it's effectively a bottom-tier, "Do Not Use" option.
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. The healing is also decent.
This trait grants its max Versatility value at rank 1, making it an exceptional choice for alts and returning players who are still acquiring and leveling up essences. It isn't great in single-target raid encounters, but in AoE and Mythic+, it's an excellent choice no matter the rank.
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 Minor Power adds a respectable amount of damage in single target. It does not scale into AoE. This is absolutely a top-flight ST DPS option. It will be decent, but somewhat less competitive in AoE and Mythic+.
世界血脉共鸣
-
波动世界血脉
Uses: General gameplay, Patchwerk fights.
While not interesting mechanically, this offers a decent chunk of Agility. It's really good in situations where you and the rest of your party all take this trait - and stand still to benefit from it. If that's not the case, this isn't good at all!
Basically:
Raid: Good, but not great.
Mythic Dungeons: Not great, not good, kinda bad.
While this isn't a great trait, it's a pretty easy trait to get up to Rank 2 for alts and returning players (you only need a handful of Island Expeditions and a table mission!), and it's a decent enough all-around option for most scenarios.
沉抑之球
-
汲取动力之球
Uses: Kiting, general gameplay
Unlike the Major Power, this Minor just provides a small reactive slow and a decent chunk of Haste and movement speed. It’s a really solid, reliable bit of stat budget and mob control in Mythic+. The one strike against it is that the slow - and thus the Haste and Speed - will not trigger against enemies that cannot be slowed. This puts it below the two previously-mentioned Versatility Minor Powers by a pretty significant margin.
生死心能
-
隐秘迷宫法器
Uses: All content
Despite lacking the interesting offensive power of its corresponding Major Power, the health provided by this Minor Power is a pretty dramatic increase to survival, and useful in virtually all scenarios. It has the undesired effect of failing you when your health dips below 35%, but it is otherwise a reasonably solid defensive option that offers a noticeable extra bit of cushion to a class with a notoriously small health pool.
That being said, it's a purely-defensive power that lets you down when you need it most, so it's not great.
艾泽拉斯的不朽赐福
-
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% (19,852/9926 armor at Rank 3 with a level 70 Heart of Azeroth). This is a potent defense-only trait for Mythic+ dungeons and hard-hitting bosses alike.
It’s passive, but it functions as a reactive defensive cooldown. There’s nothing bad about that, but the 2-minute internal cooldown is pretty underwhelming.
完美愿景
-
完美强化变速箱
Uses: Defensive cooldown uptime
The small decrease to the cooldown of
壮胆酒
is fine, but not a significant gain. The Versatility and heal are inconsequential.
空间涟漪
-
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.
清醒梦境之忆
-
明晰意图珍珠
Uses: None. Don’t.
Just like the Major Power is effectively worthless, this Minor Power adds no discernible value to Monks. Brewmasters simply don’t value Energy at all. It’s a non-limiting resource, making this a nearly-worthless Power. The Versatility proc and heal are the non-worthless component of this Power, and while they’re… fine, they can’t compete with either of the two other Versatility proc traits. It’s not even remotely close.
无形虚空
-
易爆虚空液球
Uses: Corruption Resistance and Agility/Haste!
This Essence's Minor Power grants you Corruption Resistance (obviously!), and both Agility 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.

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.

Uses: Corruption Resistance and a very small defensive 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.

Would be nice if this guide said how to get each of the recommended essences. The links all go to a single vendor.
