Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Preservation Evoker
  • Chronowarden buffs a lot of your healing abilities and turns Tip the Scales into a strong cooldown.
  • Flameshaper also buffs a lot of your healing abilities and gives youEngulf which is a cooldown that does big AoE healing through Consume Flame.
  • Overall I recommend playing whichever feels best to play, if you want to have another cooldown usage with Engulf, then play Flameshaper, and if you like having stronger Echo and have your empowered spells be stronger with Afterimage, then play Chronowarden.
Flameshaper
Chronowarden
  • Engulf
    • Single target damage or heal, that gets increased effectiveness by 50% for each periodic effects on the target.
  • Trailblazer
    • Hover, Deep Breath and Dream Flight travels 40% faster, Hover also travels 40% further.

  • Warp transforms your normal ‍Hover into a Blink
    • This currently only works when you are on or close to solid ground, if you are too high up in the air it functions like a normal Hover. Be cautious, as this has a small delay.

Priority List

For Healing

  1. Cast max rank Fire Breath to gain Leaping Flames.

  3. Cast Engulf on a target with Dream Breath for a big burst of healing with Consume Flame.
  4. Cast Temporal Anomaly to apply Echo.
  5. Cast Echo so you don't overcap on Essence.
  6. Cast Reversion before any Echo runs out.

Cooldowns

Engulf

  • Casting Engulf on a target with Dream Breath consumes 4 sec of Dream Breath and detonates it for 300% of the amount consumed, giving you very high burst healing output on a 30 sec cooldown with 2 charges.

Dream Flight

  • Fly over your allies and apply a HoT as well as direct healing, during this time you are immune to any movement and loss of control effects, you can use this for movement around a encounter, break roots, or simply as a decent healing cooldown, be careful to not fly into frontals or other boss mechanics that can get you killed!

Verdant Embrace

  • Verdant Embrace essentially becomes a healing cooldown due to Lifebind. Setting this up in combination with Echo is very powerful when used togetherwith Emerald Communion, Spiritbloom or instant Living Flame casts with Lifespark procs.

Time Dilation

  • Time Dilation is your go-to external whenever an ally is in danger.

Stasis

  • Stasis is a powerful cooldown in raids, offering significant utility. It can effectively supply Echo by allowing you to cast 2-3 Temporal Anomaly spells within it.
    • Do this pre-pull whenever there's a healing requirement early in the fight.
  • This setup enables a raid-wide coverage of Echo, which can be used in combination with Reversion or to provide a raid-wide buff through Lifebind into Emerald Communion.
  • Additionally, you can fill Stasis with Temporal Anomaly, Spiritbloom, and Dream Breath, ensuring effectiveness in any scenario. If you are using the Blossom Build, consider incorporating Emerald Blossom as well.
  • You can also put in Engulf into Stasis to have extra uses of it. Remember though, you need to hit targets with Dream Breath for Consume Flame to proc.

Tip the Scales

  • Tip the Scales is great for on-demand burst healing when used withDream Breath or Spiritbloom.

Rewind

  • Rewind is the strongest cooldown Evoker has by far and can single-handedly salvage almost any dangerous situation. Due to its massive cooldown it's best to carefully plan when you want use it.

Deep Dive

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Preservation Evoker

Min maxing Lifebind

  • Set up with Echo on as many allies as you can, then use Verdant Embrace right after a big damage intake happens and cast Emerald Communion for a massive heal on your raid. You can also use Spiritbloom and instant cast Living Flame when Emerald Communion is on cooldown, this does a lot of healing as well.

Min maxing Rewind

  • The more damage you have taken, the more healing Rewind does. Try and hold off using it so your raid takes as much damage as possible but instantly cast it if someone drops below 30% hp. Don't let anyone die by greeding this cooldown!

Tier Set min max

  • (2pc): Always having Reversion out on some targets helps you guarantee to have 4 stacks of Temporal Compression for when you cast any empowered spell.
  • (4pc): Try to make sure you have 4 stacks of Temporal Compression when you cast your empowered spells, Fire Breath, Spiritbloom, and Dream Breath apply to this Tier Set.

Understanding Mechanics

Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Stat Priority

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Preservation Evoker

Understand your secondary stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Raid boss fights as a Preservation Evoker. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.

Preservation Evoker Raid Stat Priorities

The Conclusion here is that you want to equip the highest item level generally.

  • Blizzard introduced Stat drs, which you should be aware of. To get to know what those are and why you have to care about them click here to get to our detailed stat DR resource post!

Tertiary

  • Avoidance - Reduces damage taken from AoE effects.
  • Leech - Returns a portion of your damage and healing done as healing to you. (Excludes self-healing)
  • Speed - Increases movement speed. (Does stack with other movement speed abilities)

The only time you should think about picking a lower item level is if it has Leech or Avoidance. Speed is nice to have, but you shouldn't consider this stat when choosing between two items.

  • Here is a showcase of how powerful Leech is for a Healer:

Farmable Alternatives

Due to the way stat weights work for Preservation Evoker, there isn't a strict best-in-slot list. Although it is theoretically possible to obtain items with all the correct Tertiaries, doing so requires extraordinary luck or several human lifespans because of the weekly reset system in World of Warcraft.

Authors Note:

This list shows the best items for healing in Raids from all sources. Keep in mind that getting different tier pieces with Leech / Avoidance changes which off-piece is best for you. Likewise, any other non-trinket item with Leech / Avoidance replaces the one suggested here.

Below you are presented with a good list of farmable alternatives that are obtainable outside of WoW’s weekly lockout system. While replaced in time as you progress, these offer immediate character power.

Active Trinket alternatives

  • Creeping Coagulum
    • Redirect healing into the trinket up to a certain cap, to then bursts healing onto 5 allies.

Passive Trinket alternatives

  • Gruesome Syringe
    • Either provides you with a big intellect buff or a strong HoT to targets below 70% HP.
  • Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj
    • A very strong stat stick, granting you a huge random secondary stat proc.

Embellishments

Remaining Sparks

  • Crafted items are 636 item level and regular items are 639 on max item level, therefore, it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.
