Talent and Essence Cheatsheet
Wrathion, the Black Emperor
We advise you to use the following essences against Wrathion, the Black Emperor.

- Bladestorm is better suited to destroying Crackling Shard spawns, which typically do not last long enough for multiple Dragon Roar casts. It will also remove stacks of Creeping Madness on Mythic difficulty, though it is rarely a concern.
