Talent Choices for Preservation Evokers
Midnight PvP Talent Builds for Preservation Evoker in Arena
Evoker Tree Talent Highlights
Obsidian Bulwark gives you an additional charge of your
primary defensive,
Obsidian Scales. Preservation Evokers can
be quite easy to kill, so having an additional charge will help with
your survivability.
Tip the Scales makes your next empowered cast instantly at
its maximum empower level. This is one of your best cooldowns, as you
can instantly do large amounts of healing with
Dream Breath or
contribute to a kill with an instant
Fire Breath.
Time Spiral is unique, as it allows you and your
teammates to use a mobility spell even if it is on cooldown. For
example, if you are playing with a Windwalker, they can use their
Roll even if it is on cooldown. For Evokers, this will allow
you to use
Hover.
Renewing Blaze makes
Obsidian Scales even better, by healing you for 100% of the damage it reduced during its duration.

Dream Breath, and also
Living Flame.
Golden Hour makes
Reversion instantly heal your
target for a portion of the damage dealt to them. This is already a

Evoker an interesting way to use their spells. This will reactivate the
last 3 helpful spells you used while it is active.
Time Dilation/
Delay Harm. In combination with

PvP Talents for Preservation Evoker
You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents; each has uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful but can be replaced with other PvP talents, depending on your team's goal.
Mandatory PvP Talents
Nullifying Shroud is a crucial talent to take to reduce crowd control on yourself. Every time you
Verdant Embrace, you get
Nullifying Shroud, preventing the next full crowd control on you. This buff lasts 4 seconds. This is great for when you see someone casting crowd control on you and you want to avoid it.
Emerald Communion is an extremely important talent and ability to have. This will restore 20% health and 2% mana ever second for 4.5 seconds to yourself. Any overhealing is transferred to an injure ally. Most importantly, this is usable while crowd controlled. Use this in every matchup.
Situational PvP Talents
Scouring Flame can be used if your team's strategy is to be
aggressive. This makes it so
Fire Breath burns away 1 beneficial
Magical effect on all targets hit by it. This can be great versus teams
that rely on healing over time (HoTs) spells.
Obsidian Mettle make it so when
Obsidian Scales is
active, you are immune to interrupt, silence, and pushback effects. This
is an excellent talent versus teams that are targeting you.
Unburdened Flight is a crucial PvP talent to have. This makes it,
so your
Hover makes you immune to movement reduction effects. This
is important because you have a short range on your healing spells and
need to use your mobility to avoid damage and crowd control.
Dream Projection summons a copy of yourself that flies through
your allies and heals them. After it expires, it will detonate and dispel
all nearby allies and put a large HoT on them. This is great versus teams
with multiple DoTs. You will still receive the backlash affect from dispelling certain DoTs, such as damage from
Unstable Affliction or fear from
Vampiric Touch.
