Devastation Evoker DPS Spec, Builds, and Talents — Midnight Season 1

On this page, we cover all the talents you have access to, explaining how each one is to be used. Some of these talents, active or passive, can make a huge difference in how Devastation Evokers is played, which is explained on our rotation page.

Some talents have a more versatile use in Mythic+ than in raids; if this is more your thing, we strongly recommend that you check the Mythic+ page.

The new Apex Talent for Devastation Evoker is Rising Fury, a stackable Haste and damage increase that activates when we use Dragonrage.

Starting with 1 stack when you activate Dragonrage, you will receive 4% Haste every 6 seconds. This Haste buff stacks up to 5 stacks for a total of 20%. After reaching 5 stacks, you will also receive a 15% damage increase that persists until the buff wears off.

When Dragonrage expires, your Rising Fury will remain for 4 seconds per stack, up to a maximum of 20 seconds. This effectively maintains the previous buffs, in addition to granting you a charge of Essence Burst every 4 seconds.

Certain talents require changing how you play and your rotation in varying amounts. We will go over the strengths of those talents here, but if you want to know how to use those talents in the rotation, follow the link to the Rotation page, where we go through the rotation or priority system we follow.

On the topic of Eye of Infinity or Event Horizon, you will want to sim your character to be sure. Event Horizon has a more forgiving playstyle when it comes to your Dragonrage extends, and I would recommend taking it, even if it is a minor loss. Continue using Event Horizon until you are very comfortable with the spec.

Opting into War Mode makes you eligible for open-world PvP, but also grants you the following benefits:

• World Quests at maximum level have 10% increased rewards (30% if you are Alliance).
• You gain 10% increased Experience while leveling (30% if you are Alliance).
• Allows you to earn Conquest Points towards weekly gear rewards.
• Grants you to use PvP talents in the open-world.

With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it is recommended that you enable the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards at maximum level. However, you will make yourself eligible for open-world PvP, and the possibility of being "ganked" while leveling or doing World Quests exists.

There are no PvP talents for Evokers that increase your total damage output. Therefore, the PvP talents you choose are entirely up to personal preference.
