Devastation Evoker DPS Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (11.1.5)

Quell is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Quell

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Devastation has 3 main AoE stop abilities.

Deep Breath this is a 3-second stun on a very short cooldown when talented into Terror of the Skies we do not hold this to use as a stop as it is part of our core dps rotation, but it provides a lot of free crowd control.

Wing Buffet this will knock enemies in front of you back, interrpting spells and repositioning mobs.

Tail Swipe this will knock enemies around you up into the air and slightly away from you, useful for interrupting groups of casts.

Rescue can be used to help reposition yourself as well as an ally while also providing a substantial shield when talented into Twin Guardian

Time Spiral allows your entire party an additional use of their movement-based abilities, ours being Hover this can be very helpful when needing to move through areas quickly.
