Basics​

Devastation Evoker Rotation in Midnight Season 1​

Devastation Evoker is a fairly simple and straightforward with its spell priority. Cooldowns are mostly used on cooldown, while building and spending 정수 / 정수 폭발.

  • Build and Spend: 파열 and 기염 spend 정수, primary resource for Evokers.
  • 살아있는 불꽃 and 하늘빛 일격 are the filler spells that generate 정수 폭발, a proc that allows you to use these abilities without spending Essence.
  • Spend Essence and Essence Burst, then use filler spells while waiting.
  • Use cooldowns frequently: 용의 분노 and 깊은 숨결 (Scalecommander) are Devastation's main cooldown.
  • Essence Burst is guaranteed from filler spells during this buff.
  • Its duration can be extended by both 영원의 쇄도 and 불의 숨결 with 적개심.
  • Given that both spells also come with their own short cooldowns, consider what is available when entering Dragonrage and to press them on cooldown during it.
  • Always be casting: Try to maintain high uptime on targets.
  • Constant use of damaging spells is the key to high damage in Raid and Mythic+.
  • Use 부양 effectively to cast spells on the move.
  • Try to fill "downtime" in your rotation with spells, even if its not completely optimal (Azure Strike for instance).
  • Using something is almost always better than being idle. Try to use cooldowns and Empowered spells early and often.

Best Devastation Evoker Rotation​

Hero talents also add some flavor to the rotation. Scalecommander uses 깊은 숨결 and Flameshaper monitors 불의 숨결 duration. Aside from this, they mostly play the same.

Below, we break down the main priority lists for Devastation Evoker: Single-Target Rotation, AoE Rotation, and your opener sequence.

Hero Talent Master Switches​

You can use the master switches below to flip the entire page's options to your selected choice.

Single-Target Priority​

Best Devastation Evoker Single Target Rotation Devastation in Single Target plays around a simple priority list. This means with each cast and GCD we go top to bottom on a list, and press the button with the current highest value.

With Scalecommander selected, the priority is as follows: (The builds used below are covered in the Talents page.)

  1. 부양 if capped and 깊은 숨결 is ready soon.
  2. 깊은 숨결.
  3. 깊은 숨결 when 공중 포격 is about to expire.
  4. 용의 분노.
  5. 전세역전.
  6. 영원의 쇄도 Rank 1.
  7. 불의 숨결 Rank 1.
  8. Channel 파열 with 대규모 파열.
  9. Channel 파열.
  10. 하늘빛 휩쓸기.
  11. 살아있는 불꽃 as filler.
  12. 하늘빛 일격 if needed for movement.

Further Details

  • Scalecommander frequently uses 깊은 숨결 even in Single Target.
  • In addition, each time you use 불의 숨결 and 영원의 쇄도, you gain a buff that changes 파열 into 대규모 파열.
  • 부양 can be cast while casting, and allows you to cast while moving.
  • With 후방기류, a 부양 charge resets with each 깊은 숨결.
  • The 부양 buff grows in duration with each cast, so be sure to spend a 부양 charge before each 후방기류.
  • 깊은 숨결 is very strong and should be used on cooldown, but you don't want to stay in the animation longer than needed.
  • Use the 깊은 숨결 cancel macro found on the macros page.
    • Example Macro for 파열: 
      #showtooltip Disintegrate
      /cancelaura Deep Breath
      /cast Disintegrate
    • This macro will end your 깊은 숨결 with the first press and use 파열 with the second. You would tap it twice, right as you hit your target.

AoE Priority​

Best Devastation Evoker AoE Rotation For Devastation, AoE is defined as 3 or more targets. Devastation plays mostly the same in AoE, aside from sometimes casting 기염. Ranking Empowered spells up can also be beneficial.

With Scalecommander selected, the priority is as follows:

  1. 부양 if capped and 깊은 숨결 is ready soon.
  2. 깊은 숨결.
  3. 용의 분노.
  4. 전세역전 on 영원의 쇄도.
  5. 불의 숨결 Rank 1.
  6. 영원의 쇄도 Rank 1.
  7. 깊은 숨결 with 공중 포격.
  8. 기염 with >= 18 stacks of 충전 폭발 at 4+ targets.
  9. Channel 파열 with 대규모 파열.
  10. 기염 at 4+ targets.
  11. Otherwise, channel 파열.
  12. 하늘빛 휩쓸기.
  13. 살아있는 불꽃 with 화염 도약 and 불태움.
  14. 하늘빛 일격 as filler.

Further Details

  • In AoE, 깊은 숨결 with 공중 포격 does not have a specific delay. It is simply lower priority than other spells since it is no longer holding up the 깊은 숨결 cooldown.
  • Currently, it is not worth it to rank Empowers up in Single Target or AoE. Use 불의 숨결 and 영원의 쇄도 at Rank 1, unless you have 대규모 파열.
  • 충전 폭발 stacks are worth tracking. Try to avoid casting 기염 in the 5 or so seconds before 용의 분노 to gain 3x value on the 용의 분노 기염s.
  • Swap targets after each 대규모 파열 to apply 폭격 to multiple targets to get more value on 연장전.

Opener​

Best Devastation Evoker Opener The optimal Devastation Evoker opener sets up your 용의 분노 and uses various cooldowns, trinkets, or items. Following that, we transition into our main rotation.

With Scalecommander selected, opener details are as follows:

Sample Timeline (Pulling)

  1. 부양 twice before combat.
  2. Pre-cast 살아있는 불꽃.
  3. Use damage potion.
  4. AoE Only: Use 바엘고어의 마지막 시선.
  5. 깊은 숨결.
  6. 용의 분노.
  7. 전세역전.
  8. 영원의 쇄도.
  9. 불의 숨결 Rank 1.
  10. AoE Only: 깊은 숨결 again.
  11. Channel 파열.
  12. 용의 분노 is now active, continue to the normal rotation.
  • Outside of AoE: Delay your damage trinket (ex: 바엘고어의 마지막 시선) until you have 4 stacks of 분노 상승.

Pre-Combat Checks​

Before any combat happens, it is important for Devastation Evoker to make sure the following are done (Raids, dungeons, delves, or open-world).

  • Cast Group Buffs: Use 청동용군단의 축복 to buff you and your allies.
  • Heal up: Use 살아있는 불꽃 / 에메랄드 꽃 / 신록의 품 to heal yourself and allies. This will fill your 진홍빛 적응 buff, if it does not overheal.
  • Consider Threat (Optional): Think twice about going full blast if Tanks are inexperienced. You have no way to drop aggro if you pull before Tanks establish threat.

Devastation Evoker Major Cooldowns​

Devastation Evoker has one main cooldown: 용의 분노. Other cooldowns are minor, or group buffs.

Dragonrage​

용의 분노 is your main cooldown. This buff guarantees 정수 폭발 procs from 살아있는 불꽃 and 하늘빛 일격 for the duration. Try to use it every 2 minutes.

  • Key Takeaways:
    • Activating this spell fires 3 기염s at random targets.
    • Gain the full effect of 특화: 거물 사냥꾼 with 폭정.
    • 불의 숨결 and 영원의 쇄도 extend the buff with 적개심.
    • 용의 분노 can be held for AoE, but it is a fairly long buff.
    • Average duration: ~32 seconds with proper play.
    • Apex talents buff your damage during this cooldown (분노 상승).
    • Gain a damage buff after 용의 분노 expires with 분노 상승.

Empower Spells​

불의 숨결 and 영원의 쇄도 are Devastation's Empower spells.

  • 불의 숨결:
    • Empowering moves damage from the debuff into the initial hit.
    • 화염 도약 increases target count per level.
    • The DoT component scales dynamically with 특화: 거물 사냥꾼.
  • 영원의 쇄도:
    • Empowering increases target count.
    • 영원의 전역 doubles target count per level.
  • Flameshaper: Use at Rank 1 in ST and AoE (without 전세역전). 화염 흡수 uses 불의 숨결 to fuel explosions.
  • Scalecommander: Use at Rank 1 in ST and AoE. Each use enables 대규모 파열, which marks targets for 폭격.

Tip The Scales​

전세역전 is a minor cooldown.

  • Used in 용의 분노 to instantly cast 영원의 쇄도 or 불의 숨결 at max rank.
  • Flameshaper: Use only on 영원의 쇄도.
  • Scalecommander: Can be used on either 영원의 쇄도 or 불의 숨결.

Deep Breath​

깊은 숨결 is a notable cooldown. Always gets full 특화: 거물 사냥꾼 value with 폭정.

  • Use at minimum range unless needed for movement.
  • Ground effects can still hit you while flying.
  • Talent Modifiers:
    • 임박한 파괴: Decreases Essence costs & increases damage.
    • 공중 포격: Increases damage & allows second use.
    • 오닉스 유산: Reduces cooldown.
    • 시간 증폭: Stretches damage taken for safety.
  • Scalecommander: Uses on cooldown. Can be steered and ejected from. Cooldown reduced by 날개지도자.
  • Flameshaper: Typically not used for damage unless 임박한 파괴 is taken.

Fury of the Aspects​

위상의 격노 is a group cooldown.

  • Grants 피의 욕망 effect (Haste).
  • Off the GCD.
  • Applies 소진 debuff (10 minutes).

Devastation Evoker Advanced Tips​

The best thing to do is to always be casting. Idle time will greatly affect your damage.

Hover and Movement​

  • 부양 is key to minimizing damage loss. Can be cast while casting.
  • Subsequent casts add to duration.
  • 활공: Faster than running. Triple tap to hit the ground quicker. Can avoid some ground effects at the peak of the jump.
  • Quirk: 부양 allows you to 활공 while channeling 파열.
  • Scalecommander: Easier time with 부양 due to 후방기류 refunds from 깊은 숨결.

Deep Breath Z-axis (Scalecommander)​

  • Preserves Z-axis while flying.
  • Avoid using uphill (pebbles can stop you).
  • Gain high ground or 활공 before using to fly over obstacles or ground mechanics.
  • Movement Combo (200 yards): Jump 활공 -> 부양 x2 -> 깊은 숨결 -> 깊은 숨결 -> 부양 x2 (refunded) -> 시간의 와류 -> 부양 -> 활공.

Disintegrate Chaining and Clipping​

  • 파열 has 5 ticks (with 하늘빛 기민함) or 4 ticks.
  • Chaining: Cast again after the 4th tick. Remaining duration/tick carries over (new channel becomes 6 ticks). No value loss.
  • Clipping: Cutting it short by interrupting or chaining too early.
    • Scalecommander: Avoid chaining 대규모 파열 into normal 파열 (loss of buff percentage).
    • Clipping non-대규모 파열 one tick early for Empowers or 깊은 숨결 is a tiny (0.4%) gain for Scalecommander, but risky.
