Devastation Evoker Evoker Leveling Guide for The War Within
Devastation Evoker Due to the high burst AoE damage Evoker is
capable of putting out, leveling from questing and grouping up large amounts of mobs
and subsequently bursting them down is a very quick and efficient way to get through the zones.
Additionally, having short cooldown defensives that enable you to recover most of your health pool in the
form of Renewing Blaze means mass pulling is much less risky than some other specs.
Tag as many mobs as you need to with Azure Strike; once they're grouped, cast a high
rank
Fire Breath and then spam
Pyre, Pyre being uncapped AoE means that no matter
how many targets you pull they will all melt down together.
Devastation Evoker Gear Options
In most cases, you will want to prioritize item level while going through the leveling process. This means selecting whatever has the highest item level. There is one exception to this rule: when you have a ring or neck with only 1 secondary stat instead of having 2. In these rare cases, selecting the item with the lower item level is acceptable.

Devastation Evoker War Mode Talents for Leveling
Here, you will find information on the best PvP talents for leveling and doing solo / small group PvE content.
Devastation Evoker PvP Talents for Leveling
Obsidian Mettle will allow you to safely cast spells while enemies are trying to knock you back. It can also be useful for picking up Windswept Herbalism nodes.
Unburdened Flight can be useful when you are trying to run away from a pack of enemies and not be slowed by Daze.
- The third PvP talent is largely your personal choice
I would recommend
Swoop Up as it can be useful for mobility in the open world while you are in combat and unable to Dragon ride.
Devastation Evoker PvP talents do not provide much of a gain overall but can slightly speed up your leveling process by making combat less troublesome.
