Best Gems for Devastation Evoker in MoP Remix

Gems are one of the unique ways to augment your character in MoP Remix, offering offensive, defensive, and utility benefits. On this page, we list the best gems for each type. To learn more about Gems in MoP Remix in general, check out our dedicated page below.

These recommendations are done with preliminary testing, and it is quite likely that more optimization will be possible to reach minor gains in specific situations; these will serve as a solid foundation to build upon, and then minor tweaking can be done as needed.

  • Meta Gem: Oblivion Sphere Icon Oblivion Sphere
  • Cogwheel Gem: Blink Icon Blink
  • Prismatic Gems:

    You will have a tremendous amount of stats as you start unlocking all Gem slots, and there is no single best stat to stack. Generally speaking, you will want to avoid Mastery (since most Tinker Gem effects do not scale with it) and chase for Critical Strike, Versatility, and Haste Gems in a healthy balance.

    These gems are almost exclusively for damage gain; there are a significant amount of others that provide defensive benefits that you may end up choosing to use situationally, but for greater output this is the best place to start.

  • Tinker Gems:
    • Enkindle Icon Enkindle
    • Windweaver Icon Windweaver
    • Incendiary Terror Icon Incendiary Terror
    • Lightning Rod Icon Lightning Rod
    • Sunstrider's Flourish Icon Sunstrider's Flourish
    • Hailstorm Icon Hailstorm
    • Slay Icon Slay
    • Storm Overload Icon Storm Overload
    • Brittle Icon Brittle — Mainly for dungeons.
    • Explosive Barrage Icon Explosive Barrage
    • Meteor Storm Icon Meteor Storm

Leveling Rotation for Devastation Evoker

When using our slider, note that some talents may appear sooner than you expect them to in the rotation. This is because we have two recommended builds above, each taking talents at slightly different times and sometimes entirely different talents.

Single Target

Cast Dragonrage Icon Dragonrage on cooldown followed by rank 1 empowered Fire Breath Icon Fire Breath and Eternity Surge Icon Eternity Surge on cooldown and spend your Essence on Disintegrate Icon Disintegrate using Living Flame Icon Living Flame as a filler spell to build your essence cast Shattering Star Icon Shattering Star to give yourself an increased damage window as well as a free Essence spender cast.

6.2.

AoE

You will want to group multiple enemies up before casting Dragonrage Icon Dragonrage as you want all of its instant Pyre Icon Pyre casts to cleave, uprank your Fire Breath Icon Fire Breath to max rank and your Eternity Surge Icon Eternity Surge to hit the maximum amount of targets, rank 2 for 3-4 targets, and rank 3 for 5-6 targets. Use Pyre Icon Pyre as your Essence spender and Azure Strike Icon Azure Strike as your filler spell; use Living Flame Icon Living Flame as a filler after you have cast Fire Breath to utilize the charges of Leaping Flames Icon Leaping Flames, cast Shattering Star Icon Shattering Star to give yourself an increased damage window as well as a free Essence spender cast
