Introduction: Prerequisites
This page assumes that you are already familiar with Covenants, Soulbinds, and Conduits. If that is not the case, we have a number of pages that can help you get up to speed:
- Covenants Guide, which explains what Covenants are, what perks they bring, and how you can join one;
- How To Change Covenant?, which tells you how you can switch Covenants;
- General Soulbind Guide, which explains what Soulbinds are and how you can pledge yourself to them to open up their Soulbind tree.
- Evoker Conduits, which lists all of the Conduits available to Evokers.
Whilst Evokers are new for Dragonflight. Blizzard has given Evokers a Covenant ability — Boon of the Covenants — (this ability is the same for all 4 Covenants) and Conduits.
Boon of the Covenants
The Evoker Covenant ability for all four covenants is Boon of the Covenants.
Boon of the Covenants has two parts to the spell, a passive effect and an active effect.
- Passive: Increases your damage and healing by 4% (this increases with the conduit Grandiose Boon).
- Active: You are healed for a very large amount and gain 10% Versatility for 12 seconds. 2 minute cooldown.
You will want to use Boon of the Covenants with Dragonrage to increase your total damage output.
