Devastation Evoker PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (The War Within Pre-Patch)
Choosing your gear carefully is essential for your Devastation Evoker in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the correct stats, followed by advice on how to select the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Devastation Evoker PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Devastation Evokers in PvP
The stat priority for Devastation Evokers in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect;
- Versatility;
- Mastery;
- Haste;
- Critical Strike.
Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the most
important secondary stat as it increases the damage/healing you do and
reduces the damage you take. Mastery ( Mastery: Giantkiller) is the next
best stat, as it will help increase your overall damage output and make it
difficult for teams to recover.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
In general, Devastation Evokers want to get trinkets that increase their overall damage output. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Versatility. The reason you want to increase Versatility is because it increases both your damage and healing and reduces the damage you take. For gear, you want anything that has Versatility and Mastery on it. This will increase your overall damage output and your survivability. Here is the best equipment we recommend you use as a Devastation Evoker.

Devastation Evoker Tier Set
As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is also important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed by 50% in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. For Devastation Evokers, this is your tier set:
- 2:set -
Disintegrate and
Pyre pierce enemies with Obsidian Shards, dealing 18% of damage done as Volcanic damage over 8 sec.
- 4-set: Empower spells deal 12% increased damage and cause your
Obsidian Shards to blaze with power, dealing 200% more damage for
5 sec. During
Dragonrage, shards always blaze with power.
Devastation Evoker Embelishments
Embelishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Devastation Evokers:
Blue Silken Lining. This Embellishment gives you additional Mastery when you are above 90% health. This affect stacks if you have two pieces of gear with this Embellishment. For this season, you should put this on your Helm and Ring.
