Devastation Evoker DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.1.0)
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 — The War Within (11.1.0).
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 Evokers
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.
Best Enchants for Devastation Evokers
Slot | Enchantment |
---|---|
Necklace |
|
Rings |
|
Weapon |
|
Chest |
|
Cloak |
|
Bracer |
|
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.
Best Flask for Devastation Evoker in The War Within
You should be drinking the Flask of Alchemical Chaos at all times.
Best Potion for Devastation Evoker in The War Within
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.
Best Food for Devastation Evoker in The War Within
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!
