Midnight PvP Talent Builds for Devastation Evoker in Arena
This is the best build to use for increasing your overall damage output in arena.
This is the best build to use in Battleground Blitz. This will help you deal the most amount of damage you can do, especially in team fights.
Evoker Tree Talent Highlights
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
Eternity Surge 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.
Renewing Blaze makes
Obsidian Scales even better, by healing you for 100% of the damage it reduced during its duration.

2
Living Flames to be instant. This is good for both your damage and healing.

damage and makes

Eternity Surge into 2
Disintegrates.
PvP Talents for Devastation Evoker
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.
Mandatory PvP Talents
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.
Situational PvP Talents
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.
