About the Author
My name is Guiltyas, I'm currently raiding in Pure-Turalyon, where I joined towards the end of BFA. I've played Feral Druid since Wrath of the Lich King when I first picked it up as a main spec, since then I've engaged in almost all aspects of the game, from RBGs, to Challenge Modes, to Arena's, and of course to fairly high end raiding (around world 100 at the moment).
I've been an active and enthusiastic member of the feral druid community since discord heralded a new era of engagement among spec communities, I'm fairly well respected as a source of information and back that up with a long record of high end feral performance, I've claimed multiple rank 1's across different fights in different raid tiers, I've obtained Gladiator in the past (legion season 1), and now have a long history of providing information and help about about Feral Druid.
I'm enormously enthusiast about the spec and you can find me talking about Feral (passionately) in a few different places,
Twitter
, my
stream
, and of course the
Dreamgrove Discord
!
I enjoy walks on the beach and this is really what makes me reliable on the subject of Ferals! I do not own a cat :( but do appreciate them.
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
.
Learn more about Essences in our Essence Overview Guide
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.

Feral Druid 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.

Feral Druid 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 Feral Druid 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. Anything not listed is not worth considering.
These are the Top Tier essences, You'll want one of these 3 as your Major.
Blood of the Enemy -
被征服者的翻腾之血
Source: PvP - Honor (click for details!)
Rank 1:
席卷战场
.
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
, purchase from War Coordinator NPC.
Use on: Single Target, all content, general gameplay
Solidly all around good essence, may end up being one of the best choices in general. Lines up nicely with
猛虎之怒
(every 3rd) and every 2nd use will line up with
狂暴
. Crit synergises nicely with ferals kit, giving increased resource generation.
The minor is also pretty good, granting both crit and haste.
Effect on gameplay
You'll want to use it fairly on CD and line it up with other cooldowns like your Berserk and Tiger's Fury, after rank 2 everyone can be synced, Ideally you'll want to use it with 4 or 5 combo points ready to get 2 bites into the Rank 3 bonus.
Condensed Life-Force -
回响的元素之心
Source: Azshara's Eternal Palace (click for details!)
Rank 1: Combine 9
沧海圣匣
.
Rank 2: Combine 18

Rank 3: Combine 27
沧海圣匣
.
Rank 4: Defeat Queen Azshara on Mythic difficulty.
Use on: Big Single Target damage
Summons an elemental that deals single target damage, some aoe damage and also buffs your damage, kind of a jack of all trades. All in all pretty solid likely to be one of the best options though it will be more difficult to get Rank 3 of this compared to others.
Effect on gameplay
No real gameplay impact outside of the typical case of sync it up with
狂暴
and rock and roll!
Breath of the Dying -
绚烂死亡徽记
Source: Patch 8.3 Intro Questline (click for details!)
Rank 1: Patch 8.3 Intro Questline.
Rank 2: Combine 3 Breath of Everlasting Spirit obtained from the Weekly Mini-Vision quest.
Rank 3: Purchase from the Uldum Accord after becoming Exalted for 50 Corrupted Mementos
Rank 4: Randomly obtained from Uldum Accord Supplies - Uldum Accord Paragon reputation.
Use on: Single Target, all content, general gameplay, priority targets
Single target only essence with an execute and inverse execute functionality. Sniping priority adds will increase output.
Effect on gameplay
You'll want to use it fairly on CD but if you can hold of on uses until a target is below or above the threshold that will be ideal, If you can snipe killing blows on enemies that will increase its output solidly as well.
Worldvein Resonance -
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 on: Grouped Content
With 8.3 this essence got a huge buff and is now worth using quite frequently, POTENTIALLY even with 0 allies. Giving a huge chunk of primary stats.
Effect on gameplay
No real impact on gameplay.
This is the 2nd tier of essences, not quite top tier but still pretty competitive. They might situationally be the best option for certain fights though.
Vision of Perfection -
完美强化变速箱
Source: Operation Mechagon (click for details!)
Rank 1: Defeat King Mechagon.
Rank 2:
图纸:完美同步的差速齿轮
from King Mechagon and craft
完美同步的差速齿轮
.
Rank 3: Combine 4
序列链轮
, dropped by King Mechagon.
Rank 4: Obtain
心之锁定
.
Use on: General gameplay, fun
The most anticipated and talked about essence, procs big CD, at a reduced duration, intermittently. For feral this procs either
狂暴
or, if talented,
化身:阿莎曼之灵
. If talented
化身:阿莎曼之灵
this gains additional value due to snapshotting on
斜掠
.
The Minor will reduce the CD of the Procced CD and also grant Versatility, All in all the essence is largely focused around that big CD.
Effect on gameplay
Will likely lead to
化身:阿莎曼之灵
as the favoured talent. Ensure to snapshot
斜掠
rake within the duration. If not playing
化身:阿莎曼之灵
then there is no real gameplay impact.
Conflict and Strife -
抛光的颅骨战利品
Source: PvP - Conquest (click for details!)
Rank 1: Earn 500 Conquest and claim a weekly PvP War Chest.
Rank 2: Reach 1,000 Rating in Rated PvP and claim your next weekly PvP War Chest.

Rank 4: Reach Elite rank and claim your next weekly PvP War Chest.
Doing lots of damage while your tank takes damage
Activates
in all content, including PvE instances and out in the world with War Mode is turned off. Thorns does a lot of damage, in fact it might even be the best essence, especially early on due to its ease of obtainment, it does have a 0.5s ICD per damage event so be aware of that! Dodges and parries will not proc the damage.
The Minor Power grants stacking Versatility is pretty good and grants a load of pretty passive versatility.
Effect on gameplay
use
on a tank who will be continually taking auto attacks for the next 12 seconds (Preferably not a brewmaster!).
The Crucible of Flame -
赤色龙母的淬火之鳞
Source: Heart of Azeroth level (click for details!)

2 charge spell with a 30 second CD, can use with every Tiger's fury, deals a chunk of direct damage and a burn over time. One of the earliest essences you get but pretty solid!.
Effect on gameplay
Use a charge with every

.
Rank 4: Obtain

.
Use on: having lots of energy.
The active ability increases energy generation rate by 100%, doubling it, This ends up being way too much energy to spend efficiently
During CDs. The Major is kind of lackluster but is hard carried by a way overbudget minor.
Effect on gameplay
Efficient use of Major will require you to desync from CDS such as berserk, This feels a little counter intuitive in many situations and will result in less burst than other essence choices might but that doesn't stop it from being a really solid choice.
The Unbound Force -
耀辉艾泽里特裂片
Source: Nazjatar Reputation (click for details!)
Rank 1: Honored, purchase for 10
棱彩法力珍珠

Rank 2: Revered, purchase for 25
棱彩法力珍珠
.
Rank 3: Exalted, purchase for 50
棱彩法力珍珠
.
Rank 4: Nazjatar reputation Paragon cache.
Use on: Single Target, both Burst and Sustained.
Short Cooldown on use which deal's a chunk of damage that is significantly increased upon crits, also firing additional missiles upon crits. Synergises nicely with both our love of crit in general and
丛林之怒
.
Comes with another nice minor increasing our critical strike.
Effect on gameplay
Further amplifies our love of
丛林之怒
and Crit, Every second use lines up with Tiger's fury.
Spark of Inspiration -
荧光艾泽里特晶簇
Source: Horrific Visions (click for details!)
Rank 1: Defeat Alleria or Thrall and loot the end-of-run Cursed Chest in Horrific Visions.
Rank 2: Complete the Lost Areas (Tier II) and loot the end-of-run Chests in Horrific Visions.
Rank 3: Combine 45 Sparks of Unwavering Strength obtained from end-of-run Corrupted (Tier III) and Lost (Tier II) Chests.
Rank 4: Complete the Achievement.
Use on: Group Content
Buff your friends azerite. Increases all party members damage.
Effect on gameplay
Use as close to cooldown as possible when damage from the whole party is needed.
These Essences are almost Purely AOE essences, They won't be hugely competitive on single target but might show up big in Mythic+ or AOE Fights
Purification Protocol -
强效净化协议
Source: Rustbolt Resistance Reputation (click for details!)
Rank 1: Honored, purchase for 4
S.P.A.R.E.零件箱

.
Rank 3: Exalted, purchase for 40
S.P.A.R.E.零件箱
and 10
电流振荡器
.
Rank 4: Rustbolt Resistance Paragon cache.
Use on: Sustained Multi-target, Mythic+
Both the Major and Minor deal AOE damage, may be the most solid choice for mythic+, the damage increase when a target dies during the duration may also allow you to funnel some of the AOE into single target. Likely to be one of the best AOE options.
Effect on gameplay
No real gameplay impact outside of the typical AOE behavior of holding it for incoming AOE, while still maximising uses.
Essence of the Focusing Iris -
聚焦之虹的稳定透镜
Source: Mythic+ (click for details!)
Rank 1: Complete a +4 Mythic dungeon in season 3.
Rank 2: Complete a +7 Mythic dungeon in season 3.
Rank 3: Combine 15

Rank 4: Complete
“争霸艾泽拉斯”钥石大师:第三赛季
.
Use on: Burst AoE as the highest priority
Has some of the highest burst aoe potential of the various essences. It has both a Cast time and a Channel time, making it a little annoying to use, and also is a frontal beam. Timing and positioning will be important.
The minor power gives a stacking haste buff that falls off if you don't cast an ability within 4s. This has much the same issues for us as Ruby did on Opulence. Namely that there are frequent points in the rotation where you may not cast an ability within 4s leading to the haste buff dropping. This may be problematic.
Effect on gameplay
Obviously as it has both a Cast and a Channel it will lock you out of using your own abilities during that duration. You'll want to have an understanding of where the damage will be needed in order to prepare, dump energy and precast to minimise that lockout.
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.
These essences suck
Ripple in Space -
坚韧的战场纪念品
Use on: DON'T
This thing is so unbelievably bad. This entire tier should be named after this.
Formless Void -
迸发虚空液球
Use on: When your friends have an essence that you were too lazy too farm but you still want to use that essence
Not very good. It's only value is in the minor. Which too be fair will be super good
Best Feral Druid 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.
Memory of Lucid Dreams -
明晰意图珍珠
Use on: Burst AoE as the highest priority
Provides approximately 7-8% more energy and 50-60% uptime on the versatility. Should be pretty strong for a minor and very likely a highly prioritized pick.
Effect on gameplay
No significant effect on gameplay, Generates a decent chunk more energy so players will need to ensure they don't overcap!
Formless Void -
迸发虚空液球
Use on: When you want to use more Corrupted gear, Group content
The effect in and of itself is pretty good, granting additional stats when your friends use their essences. But it also increases your Corruption resistance which has the potential to be really good.
Effect on gameplay
Lets you use more Corrupted gear.
Spark of Inspiration-
荧光艾泽里特晶簇
Use on: When you want to use more Corrupted gear, Group content
The effect in and of itself is pretty good, granting your friends additional stats and and reducing the CD on their major essences. But it also increases your Corruption resistance which has the potential to be really good.
Effect on gameplay
Lets you use more Corrupted gear, also lets you use your major essence more frequently
Breath of the Dying -
绚烂死亡徽记
Use on: Single Target, When you want to use more Corrupted gear
The effect in and of itself is pretty good, dealing single target damage with an execute component. But it also increases your Corruption resistance which has the potential to be really good.
Effect on gameplay
Lets you use more Corrupted gear.
Blood of the Enemy -
被征服者的翻腾之血
Use on: Single Target, all content, general gameplay
Not quite as cool as the Major from this essence, and with our love of crit and the amount of attacks we fire off should be able to stack it pretty quickly.
Effect on gameplay
Like most Minor Powers, it is entirely passive. Unlike most Minor Powers, the stacking buff lasts 1 minute, making it very easy to maintain.
Conflict and Strife -
抛光的颅骨战利品
Use on: Single Target, all content, general gameplay
Gives a load of versatility, no gameplay impact. Gives enough stats that it's pretty top tier.
Effect on gameplay
None
Condensed Life Force -
回响的元素之心
Use on: Single Target, all content, general gameplay
Deals damage and amps damage, Not quite as good without the major but pretty good
Effect on gameplay
None
Unbound Force -
极化的艾泽里特裂片
Use on: Virtually everything
While it technically devalues crit, it's also an RPPM proc at 20 RPPM multiplied by haste, with our 1.0 base attack speed and multiple dots we should be able to get the normal amount of procs despite jungle fury and generally loving crit. You'll likely get one of these procs per minute.
Effect on gameplay
If possible you'll want to keep an eye on stacks, and if you can hold on-use's or other CD's slightly to line it up with this then that will likely be beneficial.
Vision of Perfection -
完美强化变速箱
Use on: General gameplay, fun
More CD casts, pretty simple. The value will be very dependent upon fight design and length, If it allows you to more frequently sync CDs up with a big burst period or get's you enough more uses of your CD it might be insane, if it desyncs your CDs or doesn't get you an additional use it probably sucks.
Effect on gameplay
Entirely passive.
Worldvein Resonance -
波动世界血脉
Gives many stats when you're with your friends. Pretty high uptime
Effect on gameplay
Requires you to stand near a shard on the ground, may reduce uptime if movement is heavy
Purification Protocol -
强效净化协议
Use on: Sustained Multi-target, Mythic+
As detailed above, one of the few Minor Powers that deals AoE damage, and with 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.
Ripple in Space -
被征服者的翻腾之血
This thing is somehow even worse as a minor than a major. It requires you to linearly move 25 yards. If you move 24 yards it doesn't work. If you move 25 yards and move closer back to the boss it doesn't work. If you run in a circle it doesn't work.
Effect on gameplay
DO NOT DO WHAT THE MAJOR ASKS YOU TO DO.

But... Why though? Why was the essence system even necessary in the first place?

Quick thing, I don't know if anyone is still working on this or not, but nearly all of the essences in the minor essence tabs link back to Blood of the Enemy: Churning Blood of the Conquered.. Great guide despite that minor issue!

Why are the two main guide sources different?
Icy-veins show nearly all the essences as different.
