Best Gems, Enchants, Food, and Flasks for Preservation Evoker in The War Within
This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Preservation Evoker, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Best Gems for Preservation Evoker in The War Within
We highly recommend using QuestionablyEpic to sim your character's ideal gems and enchants, as they might differ from our general recommendations.
Raiding
The best stat for Raiding Preservation Evokers is Mastery, so that is what we will be gemming for.
You should use Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you
should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Movement Speed effect, ideally
Masterful Ruby/
Deadly Onyx/
Masterful Sapphire/
Masterful Emerald. Fill in the remaining sockets with
Deadly Onyx.
Mythic+
The best stats for Mythic+ Preservation Evokers are Haste and Crit, so that is what we will be gemming for.
You should use Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you
should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Movement Speed effect, ideally
Quick Ruby/
Quick Onyx/
Quick Sapphire/
Deadly Emerald. Fill in the remaining sockets with
Deadly Emerald.
Do note that at higher levels of keys, Versatility can gain some value due to the damage reduction it provides. This is only very relevant for very, very, very high-level keys, but it is worth mentioning.
Best Corruption Enchants for Preservation Evoker in The War Within
Corruption Enchants have been added to the game in Patch 11.1.5, these add a unique effect to your Helm. The follow enchants are available to use:
Greater Rune of the Void Ritual
Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation
Greater Rune of Echoing Void
Greater Rune of Infinite Stars
Greater Rune of Gushing Wound
Greater Rune of the Twisted Appendage
While many of these effects are quite interesting, Greater Rune of the Void Ritual pulls ahead
in all content due to the pure stats it provides. If you only care about damage and want a more interesting
effect, you can always run something like
Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation, but it will be worse
overall for your performance.
Best Enchants for Preservation Evoker in The War Within
Disclaimer:The Helmet enchant will only be available once the Horrific Visions open up on May 20th.

Best Flask for Preservation Evoker in The War Within
Flask of Tempered Mastery will be your go-to choice for maximizing
your healing output. In situations like Mythic+, where you do not need extra
healing, you can instead choose to run
Flask of Tempered Aggression.
Best Potion for Preservation Evoker in The War Within
Use Slumbering Soul Serum to regenerate Mana if you can afford the
downtime, otherwise
Algari Mana Potion is better.
Tempered Potion
is the best stat potion for personal gain, but you will likely want to use
Potion Bomb of Power
instead for more group damage. You can obtain many of these potions, such as
Fleeting Tempered Potion,
from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists
Finally, Grotesque Vial can be used while dead and be the difference
between victory and defeat in an encounter.
You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potions to use when at
low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their
Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they
are best used separately! You can also obtain
Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by
Alchemists.
Best Food for Preservation Evoker in The War Within
You should be eating Feast of the Midnight Masquerade at
all times in order to gain extra primary stat. If you do not have
access to this feast, then you can instead choose to eat
Outsider's Provisions,
Beledar's Bounty,
Jester's Board or
Empress' Farewell
which will give you more of your highest secondary stat, generally Mastery.
In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
