PvP Talents for Augmentation 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.

3.1.

Mandatory PvP Talents

Born in Flame Icon Born in Flame makes it so when you use Ebon Might Icon Ebon Might, you are granted Burnout Icon Burnout. This will reduce the cast time of Living Flame Icon Living Flame by 100%. This is great for increasing your damage output while using your burst cooldowns.

Nullifying Shroud Icon 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.

Unburdened Flight Icon Unburdened Flight is a crucial PvP talent to have. This makes it, so your Hover Icon 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.

Obsidian Mettle Icon Obsidian Mettle make it so when Obsidian Scales Icon Obsidian Scales is active, you are immune to interrupt, silence, and pushback effects. This is an excellent talent versus teams that are targeting you.
