Preservation Evoker Frequently Asked Questions — The War Within (11.1.7)
On this page, we go over several of the most frequently asked questions regarding Preservation Evoker in World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.1.7). This will be updated as more common repeated questions surface over the course of the expansion.
What do I cast during Stasis?
While you may be tempted to only cast high value spells during this, it is
perfectly acceptable to only cast one and then fill the stasis with 2 medium
power abilities. Generally, you will want to aim to get Spiritbloom at the
very minimum into your stasis window and then also try to aim for a
Dream Breath cast.
Your last ability or two can simply be
Emerald Blossom. By doing this, when
you reactivate the ability at a dangerous point, you will heal up your allies
extremely quickly, faster than any of your other abilities. You want to use
this as much as possible and plan for damage ahead of time to make challenging
moments nonexistent.
Should I spend my Essence on Echo or Emerald Blossom?
The best choice will almost always come down to your talent choices. If you
are talenting into abilities that enhance Emerald Blossom such as
Fluttering Seedlings, you will want to cast Emerald Blossom exclusively.
If you are talented into
Time Lord, you will primarily want to cast
Echo.
In the case you are talented into both, then you will want to primarily focus
on casting Emerald Blossom during fights and only use Echo in between pulls to
apply
Reversion, or when no damage is happening but you want to prepare
for a large damage event that you can then combine an ability like
Verdant Embrace
with to top the party almost instantly.
What is the best spell to use with Echo?
The best ability to cast with Echo is largely dependent on tuning.
Consult the rotation and talent pages to better understand when you should cast
Echo and what you should consume it with.
