Preservation Evoker PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.1.7)

The stat priority for Preservation Evokers in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Versatility;
3. Mastery;
4. Haste;
5. Critical Strike.

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the most important secondary stat as it increases the healing you do and reduces the damage you take. Mastery ( Mastery: Life-Binder) is the next best stat to get as it increases the healing you do to your teammates that have less health than you.

In general, Preservation Evokers want to get trinkets that increase their overall healing output. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Versatility. The reason you want to increase Versatility is because it increases both your damage and healing and reduces the damage you take. For gear, you want anything that has Versatility and Mastery on it. This will increase your overall damage output and your survivability. Here is the best equipment we recommend you use as a Preservation Evoker.

• Neck: Algari Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Versatility & Haste
• Shoulders: Opulent Treasurescale's Gleaming Mantle

Note: It is essential to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Stamina and stat boost that will increase your survivability.

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is also important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed by 50% in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. For Preservation Evokers, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their target that heals them over 15 seconds. Insurance! is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them.
• 4-set: Verdant Embrace always grants Insurance!! to you and your target for 6 sec and its cooldown is reduced by 4.0 sec.

4-set is not required for Preservation Evokers, but getting 2-set is recommended.

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These affects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Preservation Evokers:

• Energy Redistribution Beacon. While above 80% health, your direct healing will redistribute up to 2% of your health to your target. This is great for increasing your overall healing output. Because this affect does stack, it is recommended to use 2 of them.
• Duskthread Lining. This Embellishment significantly increases your Versatility when you are above 80% health.

Here are the best enchants for a Preservation Evoker:

• Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity
• Chest: Enchant Chest - Council's Intellect
• Bracers: Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed
• Legs: Daybreak Spellthread
• Boots: Enchant Boots - Scout's March
• Rings: Enchant Ring - Cursed Mastery
• Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury

Masterful Emerald is the best gem you can use. You also get access to 1 Meta Gem. You should use Cognitive Bloodstone for the meta slot.
