Flameshaper Mythic+

Flameshaper offer much less damage than Chronowarden builds, but give you an extra charge of Dream Breath as well as the very strong Lifecinders talent. When you find yourself wanting more healing or just more access to core abilities, you will want to opt for a Flameshaper focused build. More advanced playesr who want to optimize their damage output may instead go for Chronowarden builds.

While healers do not follow strict rotations, there is still a priority list that you will want to familiarize yourself with. This will allow you to get the most out of your abilities in every form of content.

Preservation Evoker gets to pick between two distinct Hero Talent choices: Chronowarden and Flameshaper.

Chronowarden focuses on Tip the Scales and Temporal Burst to massively increase your Haste, movement speed, and cooldown reduction. Through Afterimage and Chrono Flame you gain a nice boost to any Empower spell you cast. This allows you to have a ton of power tied to your Dream Breath cast. Additionally, Nozdormu Adept places a ton of power in Temporal Anomaly specifically. Allowing you to constantly output shields on players while also generating a ton of Echos.

Flameshaper grants you an additional charge of Dream Breath and Fire Breath. Given that Merithra's Blessing (the new Apex Hero Talent) is guaranteed to proc from Dream Breath, you can constantly setup large ramps where you Dream Breath, cast as many Echos as possible, and then consume the Echos with Merithra's Blessing. Finally, you will gain a nice boost of healing through Consume Flame which you can trigger on players with Verdant Embrace and Emerald Blossom.

War Mode offers several benefits for you in the open world.

• PvP talents enabled in the outdoor world.
• At least 10% increase in World Quest rewards at maximum level.
• 10% more experience gained while leveling.
• Earn Conquest Points, which can reward gear every week.

With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it is recommended to enable the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards at maximum level. However, you will be available for open-world PvP, and the possibility of being "ganked" while leveling or doing World Quests exists.

In this section, we will rank the PvP talents best for leveling and doing solo / small group PvE content. Below is a ranking of all PvP Talents for Preservation Evoker

1. Nullifying Shroud prevents the next 3 crowd control effects on you, making it exceptionally powerful when you are in danger of being CC'd. It is important to note that it does have a cast time, meaning you will need to cast it when safe.
2. Scouring Flame serves as a Purge, which can be helpful when you are on the offensive and attempting to kill someone.
3. Unburdened Flight massively increases your movement abilities, preventing you from having your movement speed reduced during Hover. This allows you to navigate the playing field and reach allies much easier.

You can consider the other options essentially down to preference.
