Devastation Evoker DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Season 4
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Devastation Evoker, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft — Season 4.
Enchants, Gems, and Consumables for Devastation Evokers
In general, the gearing you will do with gems and enchants will all go the same direction as the general way of gearing your character for specific stats. You can read more about it on the Stat page linked below.
Best Gems for Devastation Evokers
You should use one Skillful Illimited Diamond and either Sensei's Neltharite or Keen Neltharite in all other sockets, Crit and Haste will be almost interchangeable at a certain point.
Be sure to add Tiered Medallion Setting on your necklace to add up to 3 sockets to it.
Best Enchants for Devastation Evokers
Slot | Enchantment |
---|---|
Head |
|
Rings |
|
Weapon |
|
Chest |
|
Cloak |
|
Bracer |
|
Belt |
|
Legs |
|
Feet |
|
In practice, these guidelines are largely down to how enchants do not compete over primary stats, merely secondaries. As a result, the gearing stat priority is applicable and can be followed: Crit or Haste is a good place to start, or whatever sims the highest for you at the time for damage. You can find more information about this on the stats page of this guide.
Consumables for Devastation Evokers
Best Phials, Weapon Augments, and Potions for Devastation
Use Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage for both raiding and mythic+ content, you can switch to Phial of Tepid Versatility for a minor dps loss and a minor survival gain.
Hissing Rune/ Buzzing Rune, or Howling Rune. Your choice of rune will be dictated by your current secondary stat values but will usually be Mastery.
Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power should be your combat potion of choice.
You should use Dreamwalker's Healing Potion for in-combat healing. Or in situations where you need a large burst heal and will survive the damage over taken effect that follows use Potion of Withering Dreams. Healing potions do not share a cooldown with Healthstones, so you can use both independently if you have access to a Warlock.
Best Food for Devastation
Use Salt-Baked Fishcake as your Mastery food buff of choice.
If a Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak is available, use this instead.
Augment Runes for Devastation
In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Draconic Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of the consumable runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
Through the Patch 10.2 Emerald Dream Zone and its Dream Wardens Faction, you can also obtain the Dreambound Augment Rune, which is permanent!
Primordial Stone Gems
Primordial Stone Gems are a new type of gem added in Patch 10.0.7, which exist to be socketed into the new Onyx Annulet ring. This will provide players with a temporary power boost until Patch 10.1, where it will be replaced with higher item-level rings.
It is worth noting that a crafted ring at 418 with Haste and Mastery will provide more of a DPS gain than the Onyx Annulet.
For more information regarding the Onyx Annulet, the Primordial Gemstones, and how to obtain them, check out our dedicated guide below.
Since you can only equip 3 Primordial Stone Gems at most, you will want to use the 3 highest simming gems. The highest will depend on your gear, talents, and target count. You can also opt for lower DPS alternatives that provide a group benefit. The choice is yours!
Below, we list some of the best gems in order of their strength. However, as discussed above, many factors will influence your best options, and we recommend simming your character for optimal results.
