Devastation Evoker in the Current Meta

Evoker is an incredibly fun and mobile class to play in PvP. The playstyle of Devastation is a combination of Windwalker Monk and Enhancement Shaman. Use your mobility to keep yourself alive while dealing consistent, unhealable damage.

Unrelenting Damage Devastation Evokers has some of the strongest single-target damage in the game. Devastation Evokers have unrelenting damage from Eternity Surge Icon

Eternity Surge and Disintegrate Icon

Disintegrate. You do not have to rely on cooldowns to have strong damage output. This damage, in combination with Deep Breath Icon

Deep Breath, makes you an extremely deadly ranged DPS.

Mediocre Utility Utility can come in different forms when playing a DPS. Whether that is crowd control, damage reduction, or cooldowns to help teammates land kills, most specs have some form of these spells. Devastation Evokers have a fantastic way to help setup crowd control on enemies with Sleep Walk Icon

Sleep Walk and Deep Breath Icon

Deep Breath. The issue is that there is no other ways to help support your team besides healing and setting up this crowd control.

Decent Survivability With the amount of mobility Devastation Evokers have, they can be difficult to catch for enemy teams. However, if enemy teams are able to catch you, it can end the game quickly. Stuns and silences on Devastation Evokers are deadly, so try your best to push in for damage or crowd control and then push away from the enemy team. If you know you have to push in for damage, preemptively use Obsidian Scales Icon

Obsidian Scales to reduce damage on you. Be ready to use Time Stop Icon

Time Stop if your healer is in crowd control.

Great Mobility Devastation Evokers have the best mobility in the game. Not only does Hover Icon

Hover make you immune to slows on you, you can also cast most of your damage while moving. Rescue Icon

Rescue allows you to quickly reposition yourself and a teammate around the map when being targeted; and you are tanky enough where there is not much enemy teams can do to stop your damage while moving around the map.

Straight Forward Specialization Even though most casters can struggle when being focused, Devastation Evokers will not have an issue with it. Without how much mobility they have, and being able to deal damage while moving, they are a great specialization to pickup if you are learning PvP. The DPS rotation is not complicated, and you will rely heavily on using Disintegrate Icon

Disintegrate and Eternity Surge Icon

Eternity Surge to land kills.
