Devastation Evoker PvP Rotation and Playstyle — Midnight Season 1

Devastation Evokers have a new mechanic to their damage: Empower Level. This makes it so the longer you channel a spell, the stronger the initial damage/healing is. Using the talent Tip the Scales makes it so your next empowered spell will be instant at its max empower level. Here are the spells you can empower and how to use them:

• Fire Breath deals damage and puts a DoT on the target. The longer you channel it, the more initial damage it will deal. However, it will make the DoT weaker. Ideally, you will channel this to rank 3 because the DoT is normally dispelled and will not deal much damage. Use Tip the Scales with this if you want to deal a large amount of damage to enemies that are grouped up. Note: This spell is normally used with Tip the Scales because of the PvP talent Scouring Flame. This will purge nearly all beneficial magic buffs that enemy team has.
• Eternity Surge is a strong spell that deals damage to an additional enemy for each empower level. You will normally want to use this right before your burst rotation to get the buff from Iridescence. This will buff the damage of your next 2 spells of the same color as the empowered spell. With Eternity Surge, it would buff the damage of your next 2 Disintegrates.

1. Use Landslide to root enemy players.
2. Use Deep Breath when the enemy team is stacked, or you want to stun them.
3. Use Eternity Surge to gain the Iridescence buff.

    • After using an empowered spell, Disintegrate will turn into Mass Disintegrate if you are playing Scalecommander.

Obsidian Scales is one of your primary defensives. This reduces the damage you take by 30%. If you use the Obsidian Mettle PvP talent, it will also make you immune to interrupts, silences, and pushbacks. This will heal 100% of any damage you take while it is up over 8 seconds. It is important to use this right before you start taking damage and not after, or the heal will not be strong.

Deep Breath deals a large amount of damage to the team and can be used to do damage. However, it is great for avoiding crowd control when the enemy team is pushing toward you. For example, you will want to use this to avoid a Priest's Psychic Scream when they run towards you.

Devastation Evoker's mobility is an incredibly important defensive. Here are some spells that you should master to help keep your team alive:

• Hover launches you forward and increases your movement speed. It also makes you immune to slows with the PvP Talent Unburdened Flight.
• Rescue swoops you to an ally and allows you to bring them to a location. Use this to help your teammate reposition and get away from the enemy team.
• Wing Buffet/ Tail Swipe are the Dracthyr racials that will help you get away from the enemy team targetting you.

Cauterizing Flame removes all bleeds, points, curses, and diseases from a teammate. This is a crucial spell when you play against specializations like Feral Druids, Assassination, Rogues, or Warlocks.
