Talent and Essence Cheatsheet
Wrathion, the Black Emperor
We advise you to use the following essences against Wrathion, the Black Emperor.
- Major Slot
- Blood of the Enemy — Rank 3: Blood of the Enemy + Blood-Soaked
- Minor Slots
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3: Ancient Flame
- Condensed Life-Force — Rank 3: Condensed Life-Force
Tips
When moving away from the raid with the Incineration debuff, the most efficient way to act is to use Transcendence to get away from the boss, as this allows you to do it as late as you want. You can then use Flying Serpent Kick to return to the fight. However, if you are not confident in your co-ordination with other players or have not placed Transcendence pre-emptively, place it near the boss as you move away and use it to come back.
For more information, please refer to our Wrathion, the Black Emperor guide.
Maut
We advise you to use the following essences against Maut.
- Major Slot
- Blood of the Enemy — Rank 3: Blood of the Enemy + Blood-Soaked
- Minor Slots
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3: Ancient Flame

Tips
It is worth noting here that, since you are silenced while in the magical protection zones, you can not use Transcendence to get out of them. You, therefore, can use it either to get inside or to go back to the boss. Also of note, Transcendence allows you to cancel the knockback on Dark Wings; however, as a melee DPS, this is a minor concern.
For more information, please refer to our Maut guide.
