Devastation Evoker PvP Guide — The War Within (11.1.7)

Evokers are the newest class being introduced in Dragonflight and Devastation is the damage specialization. In PvP, they are fun, challenging, and extremely mobile. The playstyle of Devastation is a combination of Windwalker Monk and Enhancement Shaman. Use your mobility to keep yourself alive while dealing devastating damage.

Strengths

• Great mobility
• Some of the strongest burst damage in the game
• Multiple healing spells to keep teammates alive

Weaknesses

• If mobility is not used properly, easy to swap to in a stun

• 30 yard range on spells makes it an easy swap target to kill

• Sleep Walk no longer has a cooldown.
• Dream Catcher (PvP Talent) has been removed.
• Rescue now clears movement impairing effects from you and your target.
