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 — 12.0.5.
Enchants, Gems, and Consumables for Devastation Evokers
In general, the gearing you will do with gems and enchants will all go in 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 Evoker
The best stats for Devastation Evoker is Crit and Haste, so that is what we will be gemming for.
You should use
Powerful Eversong Diamond in one socket. Then, you
should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Movement Speed effect, ideally
Flawless Quick Garnet/
Flawless Deadly Peridot/
Flawless Deadly Amethyst/
Flawless Deadly Lapis. Fill in the remaining sockets with
Flawless Quick Garnet.

Best Consumables for Devastation Evoker
Consumables such as Flasks, Food, Potions, even Oils can increase your power by a noticeable margin and are worth utilizing anytime you are doing challenging content. If gold isn't a concern, you can choose to always use them!
Flasks
During Season 1 you should use one of these two flasks depending on what your lower stat is.
Flask of the Blood Knights - Haste
Flask of the Shattered Sun - Critical Strike CHance
Combat Potion
The new combat potion that we will be using in Midnight is
Potion of Recklessness this gives you
a large boost to your highest secondary stat but reduces your lowest. Something to be aware of, if you have 0 Versatility
the negative aspect of this potion will not occur.
Food
As a Devastation Evoker you will want to use the best Primary stat food
available to you. Currently this would be the
Silvermoon Parade Feast
if available. If the feast is not available or it the secondary stat Feast is
placed then you should use
Royal Roast.
Augment Runes
You should use an Augment Rune if you can afford it during Progression when you get close to a kill as it is a sizeable boost to Intellect. We do not suggest using before that as they are often expensive. Using the current best rune is approximately a 1% DPS gain.
For Season 1 the following Augment Runes are available:
Void-Touched Augment Rune
Weapon Rune
You should be using
Thalassian Phoenix Oil at all times.
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.
