Anima of Life and Death is a Tank Essence gated behind Dungeons in Mythic Season 3. Check out our Heart of Azeroth Class Essence guides for more details on 8.2 Essences.
Note: Some tooltips may be inaccurate right now as WoWDB is working on updates. We tested Anima of Life and Death Rank 3 on 8.2 PTR. The Tank Essence comes with a major power which deals 10% of your max health AoE damage and heals you for up to 50% of your max health. The minor power increases your max health and heals you at 10 stacks. The effect is lost when you fall below 35% health.

As usual it didn't take long for the Wowsecrets discord to come up with a solution to one of the game's mysteries. And while this particular one wasn't that complex, it's still impressive how fast they got it done. Fabious , the underwater mount from Nazjatar appears to be a very vain seahorse and requires a lot of attention. Luckily, Zenkass/Kassidi of Proudmoore US figured out that what he really wants is his picture taken with the player and he'll join them in their quest!
To obtain this mount, you simply go to Bloodfin Village in Nazjatar (around 25,29), hope he's there and use your S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera MkII on him. If you do find him you should be quick about it, as once he spawns he runs around for 2 minutes and then is gone again. Luckily though, anyone that's there while he's moving around can get the mount in this manner, so it's not limited to 1 player per spawn.
Thanks to Vyndoriesh over on r/WoW for the explanation!
"He emerges from the water, fins swaying lazily in the breeze, sun-kissed scales glittering. He is... Fabious."

We have three short blue posts today covering a recently fixed bug from the PTR regarding a quest reward item level getting reduced, a second clarifying how the ranks for the new essence system work and a third on the mobile app getting updated as we speak.
First off, it seems an early Nazjatar quest reward weapon has had it's item level drastically reduced from the PTR version (415 to 370), as the old version was bugged and had an unintentionally high one:
Quest Reward (source)
Hello.
I can confirm that there was a bug in the PTR that was causing this reward to generate at an unintentionally high item level, and the bug was finally fixed just before the content update went live.
So you’re seeing the intended power of the reward, and it should be consistent with other rewards that come from similar activities.
Secondly, there's a tweet clarifying the requirements for higher rank essences:
And finally, the mobile app isn't functioning for some players as it's currently being updated and should pop up at slightly different times for different users:
Mobile App (source)
There is an update to the app that came today with Rise of Azshara/8.2. It may take a while for the update to propagate out but we have confirmed that people are receiving it. Keep an eye out for updates on your device and you will be able to use the app again soon.
Thanks all!
