Preservation Evoker Healing Mythic+ Tips — 12.0.5
In this guide, you will find tips and advice to tackle Mythic+ dungeons with your Preservation Evoker in World of Warcraft — 12.0.5.
Mythic+ Guide for Preservation Evoker
In this guide, we will talk about getting the most out of your Evoker in Mythic+ dungeons, including the best way to set up your character, how your rotation may change, and tips and tricks for using your abilities most optimally.
If you are unfamiliar with Mythic+ and its associated general mechanics, you can read more about it on our Midnight Mythic+ page below, or check out our Mythic+ Tier List if you're curious about the current Mythic+ Meta!
Preservation Evoker is a very strong healer in Mythic+ thanks to its very high damage output. That being said, healing on it can be more difficult than others, and it will require some practice and learning to get the hang of it fully.
Best Mythic+ Talent Builds for Preservation Evoker
Regardless of if you are just doing your weekly +10 key or pushing high level content,
your build will focus on
Chronowarden. The main difference between recommended
builds will often come down to sacrificing more healing in favor of damage or opting for
niche utility necessary to live and complete the highest level keys.
Default
Chronowarden Mythic+ Talent Build
Healing Mythic+ in Midnight will feel different with the removal of
Spiritbloom,
forcing you to be more reliant on other tools.
Leaping Flames will continue
to be a very valuable way to deal additional healing in emergencies, but more importantly
Emerald Blossom has gained significant value.
This ability has been buffed significantly in Midnight, and it has
become a powerful tool to deal with heavy damage. You will often find
yourself with an overabundance of
Echos,
which means that you can afford to spend Essence on Emerald Blossom instead,
even if it may not hit full targets. Being flexible with your approach and not
hesitating to use Emerald Blossom can help you get through difficult situations.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Flameshaper Mythic+ Talent Build
Flameshaper has become a viable choice in Mythic+ largely due to
two new talents:
Legacy of the Lifebinder and
Lifecinders. Legacy of the
Lifebinder allows you to have 2 charges of
Dream Breath. Due to the removal of
Spiritbloom, you may often find yourself having large gaps in your healing ability.
Having two charges of Dream Breath can really help to fix this.
Lifecinders will
allow you to place
Obsidian Scales on a player, providing them a large
amount of damage reduction which can be very valuable in Mythic+ settings.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Utility of Preservation Evoker in Midnight
Stunning and "Stops"
Oppressing Roar can be used to increase the duration of crowd
control
effects that your party members will be throwing out. Using this before an AoE
stun from a party member such as a Monk's
Leg Sweep will cause
the stun to last
even longer. This ability can even be used to dispel Enrage effects from mobs, thanks to the
Overawe talent in the class tree.- Preservation Evoker can also bring both a root and stun to make
difficult
packs much easier to deal with for both your tank and your party.
Landslide can
be used to root enemies, and
Deep Breath can be used to stun them if you
talent into the
Terror of the Skies passive from the class tree. - It is also worth mentioning that
Wing Buffet and
Tail Swipe,
both racial abilities can be used to knock enemies into the air and knock them
away from you.
Other Utility
Fury of the Aspects provides your party with a
Time Warp/
Bloodlust effect.
The only other healer that can bring this massive benefit is Shaman.
Rescue will allow you to pick up an ally and bring them to your
cursor
location. If an ally is struggling to run somewhere with a mechanic, group up
with your party, or even just needs a simple movement boost, this can really
help them get to where they need to be.
Affix Tips, Tricks and Management for Preservation Evoker in Midnight Season 1
This section has specific tips for dealing with the various affixes of Mythic+. If you want general guides for each of our Dungeons or Mythic+ in general, check out our dedicated page below.
Season 1 of Midnight only has four significant Affixes that offer any kind of counterplay, called Xal'ataths Bargains. These rotate every week, with only one of them being active at a time. Many of the Mythic+ affixes, like Fortified or Tyrannical, simply add a passive effect to the keystone, with these four exceptions that are seasonally themed after Xal'atah:
Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant: Three waves of orbs will spawn that need
to be interrupted or disrupted.
Tail Swipe and
Wing Buffet
can be very useful in dealing with this mechanic.
Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound: A Void Emissary add will spawn that
needs to be focus-targeted and interrupted. Healers can typically not help
with this affix beyond helping to deal a bit of extra damage to it.
Xal'atath's Bargain: Pulsar: Orbs will spawn around players and circle
around them. You have 15 seconds to soak all of these to buff your group.
While not required, healers can often be very good at running around and soaking
whatever is unsoaked so DPS can stand still and maintain uptime. Of course you
will not want to do this during difficult healing moments.
Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour: All party members will be affected by a
healing absorb. This effect can be dispelled and you will want to make sure that
you are dispelling players unable to clear it themselves as soon as possible in
order to get 2 dispels off. This will allow you to only worry about clearing
a few players debuffs.
Cauterizing Flame can also be used to dispel
one extra debuff.
If these affixes are not handled, they will buff enemy trash and bosses. However, when you are able to handle them they will provide your entire group with beneficial buffs, increasing your output or survivability.
