DPS Rotation & Cooldowns
This rotation offers a general priority list for Devastation Evoker abilities, along with key cooldowns at the bottom. It's based on a standard build and is here to help while we work on a smarter, build-aware system. If you are very new to the game or this class, we added info on the new assisted rotation features at the bottom of this guide. Updated for the latest patch in World of Warcraft: The War Within (11.2).
Note: Rotation guides will be continually refined for 11.2 throughout the week.
Single Target
Pre-cast Living Flame to land on pull.
Maintain Fire Breath DoT, pool Essence for Shattering Star into Disintegrate, and use Eternity Surge and Deep Breath on cooldown. Use Hover for mobility and Living Flame as filler.
AoE
Start with Azure Strike for Charged Blast stacks, then use max rank Fire Breath and Dragonrage. Follow with Eternity Surge, Disintegrate, and Pyre to consume stacks. Use Azure Strike and Living Flame as fillers.
Cooldowns
Use Dragonrage for burst phases, Tip The Scales to empower key abilities, and Deep Breath for AoE damage.
New to Class? Try Assisted Rotation
Patch 11.1.7 introduced new features that make it eaiser to pick and play new characters. These new settings can be enabled from settings » gameplay enhancements:
- Single-Button Assistant
- Assisted Highlight
- Cooldown Manager
If you are new to World of Warcraft or a certain class, enabling Assisted Highlight and Cooldown Manager can help you learn which abilities to prioritize and use.
While the Single-Button Assistant can be a much easier and more accessible way to play the game, it does come with a slight performance hit due to a small GCD penalty, as you will have to wait 25% longer in between spells and abilities.
To see which specs are best with the Single-Button Assistant feature, you can check out our DPS Rankings which uses SimC to sim every class using this feature.
