Preservation Evoker Healing Gear and Best in Slot — Midnight Season 1

Welcome to our Preservation Evoker Gear page for Midnight. Check this page to learn everything you need to know about gearing a Preservation Evoker, including the BiS Gear from all sources, Raiding, and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, and much more. Keep in mind that with Midnight comes a stat squish, meaning that each item will provide significantly less stats than it once had. Your overall damage and healing will also be lowered as a result.

For discussion and information on Stats specifically, check out our Stats page below.

BiS List for Preservation Evoker

It is important to keep in mind that your overall "Best in Slot" list is bound to change based on what gear you have at your disposal. This list is meant to serve as a rough idea of what your best setup may look like in theory. As always you should be consulting with QELive.

This list will include items from Mythic+ which means that they are acquired through the Weekly Great Vault. Item level will always provide the largest increase (outside of trinkets) and you should be replacing any Hero Track Mythic+ items with Myth track items, even if the Mythic+ Hero Track item is on the BiS list.

In some non-Tier slots, a max item level Craft will technically be optimal since you can customize the secondary stats to your liking. Your mileage here may vary.

• Windrunner Spire: Drops a weapon ( Excavating Cudgel) and the two best dungeon trinkets ( Emberwing Feather and Heart of Wind)

TipsWhich Raid Items Do I Want Most?

If you need to submit a list of highly-important items to your raidleader, or simply want to focus on the most important bosses and items, we got you covered!

Below we will provide a rough tier list of available trinkets. This can help you to make quick decisions as to which trinkets are worth farming or what you want to roll need on. Any trinkets not listed will typically be weaker unless there is a significant item level difference.

Click for Preservation Evoker Trinket Rankings

Ranking	Trinket
S Tier	Gaze of the Alnseer Locus-Walker's Ribbon
A Tier	Vaelgor's Final Stare Crucible of Erratic Energies Light of the Cosmic Crescendo Emerald Coach's Whistle - Click for Details Some of the value this trinket provides comes from the buff you provide allies. If you only care about your own output this trinket will drop in value. Litany of Lightblind Wrath - Click for Details Strong in Mythic+ but suffers in raid unless it is an AoE fight where Fire Breath can be used to proc it. Easy to acquire but also better on other healers. Heart of Wind
B Tier	Emberwing Feather Glorious Crusader's Keepsake Drum of Renewed Bonds Volatile Void Suffuser
C Tier	Whisper of the Duskwraith Refueling Orb Radiant Sunstone

Professions are a great way to gear up with your optimal secondary stats, as adding special items to the crafting process lets you pick and choose the exact secondary stats you want.

If you want to find out more about professions, i.e. to learn how to craft your own Mythic item level equipment, make sure to check out our Midnight Profession guide!

As your ability to craft items will be time-gated in the initial stages of Midnight, we highly recommend getting a Mainhand weapon as soon as possible. No other item will provide you as large of a power increase. Of course if you get a Myth track weapon from your Great Vault, then you will want to instead craft something else. You may see some players choosing to wait until they open their vaults to make a decision as to what they should craft.

Preservation Evoker Crafted Gear Priority

• Magister's Valediction with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt
• World Tender's Barkclasp
• World Tender's Rootslippers
• Any item you do not have on Myth track yet.

Up to two of your crafted items can be Embellished. This is a similar concept as Unique-Equipped, as you can only wear two items that have the Embellished status. Some crafted items, many of which have powerful procs or beneficial effects by default, are considered Embellished. You can also add Embellishments from a variety of professions to any crafted item, adding the effect to this item either when creating it or at a later stage.

We tend to recommend crafting weapon slots early as they will provide the most initial power at the start of a new season, but they will not be your overall Best in Slot items. In general your best in slot will be:

• World Tender's Barkclasp
• World Tender's Rootslippers

You can add sockets to Helmets, Belts, and Bracers with the Radiant Jewelbinder consumable that you can get if you do not select any of the choices in your Great Vault. Not picking a choice will grant you tokens, six of which can be traded in for the Radiant Jewelbinder item. This allows you to add a socket to the above piece of gear if you acquired them in Season 1.

Early into the season, or if you have just started playing an alt, you will have limited access to upgrading-crests such as Myth Dawncrest. These can be used to upgrade gear to higher itemlevels. Since crests are limited each week and upgrading different items costs the same amount of crests regardless, you will want to prioritize your usage of them on items you plan on not replacing anytime soon, or that offer the biggest benefits.

The priority will change heavily depending on whether or not you are crafting a weapon. If you do not craft a weapon and instead get an early Myth track one then you should prioritize upgrading the weapon first. Otherwise you can follow the order below:

Preservation Evoker Crest Upgrade Priority

Trinkets ➜ Helmet/Chest/Legs ➜ Shoulders/Gloves

As previously mentioned, you will want to prioritize the items you know that you will not replace. If you have a BiS Myth track tier helm, that would take priority over a Hero track trinket that is not BiS. The above order assumes that everything is Myth track.

Which gems and enchants to use heavily depends on your current stat priority. As previously mentioned, this priority can shift and change whenever you acquire new gear, so utilizing QELive is highly recommended. In general you will want to prioritize Mastery and Haste but Critical Strike can also be fine. For more information on stats you can visit the dedicated page linked below.
