Devastation Evoker DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.1.5)

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.

The best stats for Devastation Evokers are Crit and Haste, so that is what we will be gemming for.

You should use Culminating Blasphemite 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 Quick Emerald/ Quick Onyx/ Quick Sapphire/ Quick Ruby. Fill in the remaining sockets with Quick Ruby.

Patch 11.1.5 brings back the corruption themed enchants from Ny'alotha with them now being exclusive to the head slot.

Void Ritual is a proc which gives you all 4 secondaries stacking up over 20 seconds, this will be our go to choice for both raid and mythic+.

Infinite Stars is a damage proc that leaves a stacking debuff increasing the damage of each additional proc by 25%, stacking up to 10 times for a total of 250%. We are unlikely to use this for anything and it can only be used on pure ST.

Gushing Wound procs a damage over timed effect on the target, this will not be used at all without additional tuning.

Twisted Appendage spawns a tentacle which will deal damage to the target over 10 seconds, this will not be used at all without additional tuning.

Echoing Void gives your abilities a chance to deal damage around you, requires you to be on top of your targets as well as doing very minimal damage, we will not be using this.

Twilight Devastation currently does not proc from attacks and cannot be used by us, but we would not use it regardless.

One thing to note - Void Ritual is currently significantly stronger than all of the others, about 4x stronger to be exact, this is likely to be changed in the near future.

Disclaimer:The Helmet enchant will only be available once the Horrific Visions open up on May 20th.

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.

You should be drinking the Flask of Alchemical Chaos at all times.

Your stat potion should be Tempered Potion. Use these when you will do the most damage with your abilities, likely during your cooldowns and/or Bloodlust/ Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potions to use when at low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they are best used separately! You can also obtain Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

Since our secondary stats are stronger per-point than our primary stat, you should be eating secondary stat food at all times, either Beledar's Bounty, Outsider's Provisions, Jester's Board, Empress' Farewell personal food, or the The Sushi Special Feast. They are all identical.

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
