Devastation Evoker PvP Talents and Builds — The War Within (11.0.5)

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

• Obsidian Bulwark gives you an additional charge of your primary defensive, Obsidian Scales. Devastation 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 damage with Deep Breath and 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.

• Burnout will be the main source of your damage output. This makes it so Fire Breath has a chance to cause your next 2 Living Flame to be instant. This is good for both your damage and healing.
• Dragonrage is one of your burst cooldowns. This deals AoE damage and makes Essence Burst proc chance 100%.

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.

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 must use your mobility to avoid damage and crowd control.

Nullifying Shroud prevents the next 3 crowd control effects on you. This lasts for 30 seconds but has a cast time. This is great for when you are playing into a composition with a lot of crowd control (Mage/Lock, RMP), but there is a cast time, so teams will know when to avoid crowd-controlling you.

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.

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 with very few buffs.

Chrono Loop is an exciting talent that traps the enemy in a time loop for 5 seconds. Afterward, they are returned to their previous location and health. This could be used when an enemy is at low health before the enemy healer uses their healing cooldowns.
