Devastation Evoker PvP Talents and Builds — The War Within (11.2)

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

• Obsidian Bulwark gives you an additional charge of your primary defensive, Obsidian Scales. Devastation Evokers can be quite easy to kill, so having an additional charge will help with your survivability.
• Tip the Scales makes your next empowered cast instantly at its maximum empower level. This is one of your best cooldowns, as you can instantly do large amounts of damage with Deep Breath and Fire Breath.
• Time Spiral is unique, as it allows you and your teammates to use a mobility spell even if it is on cooldown. For example, if you are playing with a Windwalker, they can use their Roll even if it is on cooldown. For Evokers, this will allow you to use Hover.

• Burnout will be the main source of your damage output. This makes it so Fire Breath has a chance to cause your next 2 Living Flame to be instant. This is good for both your damage and healing.
• Dragonrage is one of your burst cooldowns. This deals AoE damage and makes Essence Burst proc chance 100%.

You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents; each has uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful but can be replaced with other PvP talents, depending on your team's goal.

Unburdened Flight is a crucial PvP talent to have. This makes it so your Hover makes you immune to movement reduction effects. This is important because you have a short range on your healing spells and must use your mobility to avoid damage and crowd control.

Time Stop freezes you or an allies timestream for 5 seconds. While frozen in time they are invulnerable, cannot act, and auras do not progress. You can reactivate Time Stop to end this effect early. This talent is mandatory, as it is an extremely short cooldown that can be used to help keep a teammate alive while your healer is in crowd control.

Nullifying Shroud is a crucial talent to take to reduce crowd control on yourself. Every time you Verdant Embrace, you get Nullifying Shroud, preventing the next full crowd control on you. This buff lasts 4 seconds. This is great for when you see someone casting crowd control on you and you want to avoid it.

Obsidian Mettle make it so when Obsidian Scales is active, you are immune to interrupt, silence, and pushback effects. This is an excellent talent versus teams that are targeting you.

Scouring Flame can be used if your team's strategy is to be aggressive. This makes it so Fire Breath burns away 1 beneficial Magical effect on all targets hit by it. This can be great versus teams with very few buffs.

Chrono Loop is an exciting talent that traps the enemy in a time loop for 5 seconds. Afterward, they are returned to their previous location and health. This could be used when an enemy is at low health before the enemy healer uses their healing cooldowns.
