Best Dragonflight Talents for Preservation Evokers
Note that these builds are generic recommendations for various content. For more specific recommendations for the Raid and Mythic+, check out the dedicated pages below.
Best Builds for Preservation Evoker
Emerald Blossom Build
This specific build focuses on using Emerald Blossom frequently
with many talents that help to increase its power. This build utilizes the
Evoker Preservation 10.1 Class Set 2pc as well as the
Evoker Preservation 10.2 Class Set 2pc.
By also taking talents such as
Lifeforce Mender, you will be outputting a very
high amount of damage.

Spiritbloom Build
To play this build, it will require you to have the Evoker Preservation 10.1 Class Set 2pc.
Without it, you should play an emerald blossom build. With the 10.1 tier set, consuming
echo with Spiritbloom becomes a very strong choice, and this build focuses
on doing exactly that.
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Mythic+ Talents
This Mythic+ build takes more damage, crowd control abilities, and some
utility options in the class tree that will help it to excel. This build aims
to give you a default talent tree that you can take into any key and be successful.
Still, there is debate about potential swaps that can be made depending on the
dungeon and affixes. For example, if you find yourself needing a lot of healing,
you can sacrifice Life-Giver's Flame and
Lifeforce Mender to get points to put
into something like
Spiritual Clarity.

Talents Explained
Note that we do not explain EVERY Talent in the tree on this page. We only explain Talents that are part of our optimal builds or may be confusing to use. For full details and explanations of every Talent, please visit our Spells page via the button below.
Class Talents
Row 1-4
![]() | This ability stores 20% of your effective healing, causing your next
![]() |
![]() | With this Talent, Evoker becomes one of the tankier classes in the game, having two charges of powerful defensive ability. |
![]() | While not being impactful in every situation, it is a necessity in order to unlock healing increases. It is also the only dispel in the game that can remove bleed effects, making it incredibly powerful to have as a healer. |
![]() | When fighting a boss with a lot of interrupts, or in Mythic+, having an extra interrupt can be very strong. If your group could ever benefit from it, it is quite easy to take based on its location in the class tree. |
![]() | Most raid encounters will not be made easier by having a root in your toolkit, but there are some rare situations where it can be useful and is always worth considering that it is easy to select a location. |
Row 5-7
![]() | Selecting this talent provides you with a decent cooldown. Preservation struggles primarily with getting long casts off; this cooldown helps with that issue by allowing you to get off empower casts instantly. |
![]() | While Evoker generally does not struggle with mobility, having the ability to cast while moving for a long duration can help make tough situations much more manageable. |
![]() | Increases your targets healing and damage by 3%, making it mandatory in raid. |
![]() | Any ![]() |
![]() | When playing an ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Row 8-10
![]() | Despite being a utility option, this talent can
save lives whenever someone is in a bad position. Think of it similar to ![]() |
![]() | Having an extra charge of ![]() |
![]() | Arguably your most important Talent in these rows,
this will turn ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() | Despite only hitting 5 targets, being able to reduce the damage you and your allies take is incredibly useful in most situations. Just keep in mind this does not reduce all your damage taken, only area-of-effect damage. |
![]() | While not always useful, there are plenty of
situations where having a stun can be useful; this Talent will add a stun onto ![]() |
![]() | This ability enhances ![]() |
![]() | Most classes will not ever need an extra movement
speed cooldown, even those who are very slow. There are plenty of ways to increase movement
speed, and you will rarely ever take this Talent unless your group is lacking
druids who can provide ![]() |
![]() | This talent gives you and your target of
![]() |
Spec Talents
Row 1-4
![]() | Allows you to stack ![]() |
Row 5-7
![]() | This ability combined with ![]() |
![]() | Preservation Evoker struggles a lot with mana,
being able to regen some of it through this ability can help a lot when facing long
encounters. It also allows for some crazy combinations with ![]() |
![]() | One of the most important procs in the evoker kit,
this provides a huge buff to ![]() ![]() |
![]() | This Talent, as well as the one above it, ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() | This ability, combined with the talent node under it,
![]() |
![]() | The strength of time lord depends on what type of build you
are playing. When playing a ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() | This ability is not quite simple to understand as the tooltip is not great at explaining what it does. In most cases, it is a decent DPS increase and slight hps increase, but often not impactful enough to be considered. If you were interested in a full DPS build, you would, however, want to put 2 points into this talent. |
Row 8-10
![]() | This end talent changes the least. Where other talents may require certain damage patterns or fights to be strong in, this Talent will almost always get the same value. That being said, it can struggle in very spread fights. |
![]() | Whenever you are casting a lot of bronze
spells such as ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() | As said previously, in situations where ![]() |
![]() | While not being very powerful on its own,
it can gain strength when playing ![]() |
![]() | This talent's value solely depends on your build.
When playing ![]() |
![]() | In every form of content you can often benefit
from an extra rank for your empower abilities. ![]() |
![]() | While mana is a concern, this Talent does not provide enough to really consider using. However, the extra damage can be very useful when you are in Mythic+ or aiming to deal more damage. |
Mythic+
