The stat priority for Devastation Evokers in PvP is as follows:

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 your next best stat to have on gear. This increases the damage of spells, based on the current health of your target. This is great for maximizing your consistent damage output. Haste is the next best stat, this stat reduces the cooldown on the GCD and makes channeling Disintegrate quicker.

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 Haste 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.

It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, some tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Devastation Evokers, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Shattering Star's damage is increased by 50%, and it always casts as if you had reached maximum empower level.
• 4-set: Causality reduces the remaining cooldown of your empower spells by an additional 0.1 sec each time the effect occurs. Eternity Surge deals 10% increased damage.

In general, it is recommended to get both 2-set and 4-set for Devastation Evokers.

Embellishments 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 two Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Devastation Evoker:

• Arcanoweave Lining. This Embellishment gives your spells and abilities a chance to empower you and an ally. This will increase you and your teammate's primary stat. Overall, this is will give you and your team the highest damage output.
