Preservation Evoker Healing Vault of the Incarnates Raid Guide — Season 4

In this section, you will find information about each boss individually in Aberrus. These tips and build recommendations will focus on Echo builds. Due to Preservation Evoker 2pc returning for Season 4, Emerald Blossom builds have fallen out of the meta and will be outperformed quite heavily.

You can easily import the talent tree below into the game with the following string:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• Make sure that you are dispelling Leaping Flames extremely quickly as it leaves a very nasty dot after its initial damage.
• Incinerating Roar is the main form of damage in this encounter, trying to prepare for it by holding Essence Burst procs and other cooldowns will allow you to get the most healing out.

For more information, please refer to our Eranog guide.

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• The raid is extremely stacked in this fight and features minimal but exact movements. Using Hover primarily to get around quickly and plant your feet will help you get off your empower spells.
• With damage on this fight being entirely predictable, it can be beneficial to pool Essence Burst procs to burst all of them during the heavy damage windows.
• This is one of Rewinds best fights. After Seismic Assault occurs, you can generally find extremely high value on your rewind cast.
• When the boss enrages, he doesn't immediately wipe you and instead starts doing massive damage until you die. If you ever know you will hit enrage, and Rewind is coming up, consider holding it for the enrage to live just a little bit longer.

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• Using Dream Flight on this fight will be incredibly difficult due to how spread out your raid will be and how dangerous spreading Conductive Mark is. The extra point can be instead placed in Grace Period.
• Similarly, try to position yourself as close to the middle of the room as you can help negate the effects of having a 30-yard range. Standing on one side of the room will likely cause you to be unable to reach some of your allies.
• This encounter has many kickable spells. Consider talenting into Quell to help out your raid team.

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• While many classes may struggle with the pull-in mechanic, Gossamer Burst, Evokers can easily double jump/glide during the pull-in, or if they get pulled off, entirely negating one of the harder mechanics of the fight.
• While many classes possess a way to remove slows, preservation does not. Be extremely careful in getting too many stacks of Sticky Webbing. Do not accidentally refresh your stacks before they fall off, and if you find yourself getting high stacks, ask a paladin or monk for Blessing of Freedom or Tiger's Lust.
• This is one of the few fights that Rescue can be directly used to save someone's life, do not be afraid to try to help someone who is behind, mispositioned, or is about to get pulled off.

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• One of the main mechanics of this fight, Blowback, will knock players a very far distance. Evokers can easily negate this mechanic through gliding, eliminating a lot of the risk of being mispositioned.
• This encounter has many kickable spells. Consider talenting into Quell to help out your raid team.
• Due to how spread the raid is and how dangerous spreading Conductive Mark is, you may want to avoid using Dream Flight as you could potentially struggle to find consistent value and enough stacked allies. The extra point can be instead placed in Grace Period.

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• There are many places where you can use Time Dilation on an ally to save their life potentially. Every phase of the encounter has some form of debuff that will cause players to take a lot of damage. If something goes wrong, they will start to take even more damage. Time dilation has a fairly short cooldown that allows it to be used frequently during the fight to save lives.
• Most of the time, you will be tightly stacked and take heavy damage. This makes it quite easy to get value from Temporal Anomaly if you want to talent into it and Resonating Sphere. As always, mana costs will be quite rough when playing these talents, so you will need to be smart and ideally receive an Innervate.

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• Make sure you are dispelling Frozen Shroud from players who cannot remove the root effect alone. Generally, you will want to wait for a second or two to see who needs a dispel, then make a decision.
• This encounter has many kickable spells. Consider talenting into Quell to help out your raid team.

Recommended Talents:

• BwbBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIJplWOASkEpgkWkQAAQSkIIikASAAAASSCJSiIJBAB

• Rescue is mandatory on this fight in order to help your allies live the very dangerous pushback mechanic, Hurricane Wing. You will want to use this to constantly help allies live the mechanic.
• Time Spiral is exceptionally useful in also dealing with the Hurricane Wing mechanic. Some classes will rely on this, and you will want to make sure you are talented into it.
• Unravel has not had much use on any other boss, but this boss has a very difficult mechanic where she shields herself and inflicts massive raid damage until the shield is broken. You also do increased damage during this mechanic, which makes unravel very useful. You will ideally want to cast it as much as possible during Stormsurge.
