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 Icon Blood of the Enemy + Blood-Soaked Icon Blood-Soaked
  • Minor Slots
    • The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3: Ancient Flame Icon Ancient Flame
    • Condensed Life-Force — Rank 3: Condensed Life-Force Icon Condensed Life-Force
3.1.

Tips

When moving away from the raid with the Incineration Icon Incineration debuff, the most efficient way to act is to use Transcendence Icon 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 Icon 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.
