Mythic+ Utility for Devastation Evoker in The War Within Season 2
This section talks mostly about the uses of different spells. For in-depth explanations of all Evoker Abilities and Talents, including these, check out our Spells page.
Utility of Devastation Evoker in The War Within
Interrupts, Stuns and Stops
Quell is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in
Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially
the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.
- /stopcasting
- /stopcasting
- /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Quell
This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.
To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.
- /focus [@mouseover]
Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.
Stunning and "Stops"
Devastation has 3 main AoE stop abilities.
Deep Breath this is a 3-second stun on a very short cooldown when talented into
Terror of the Skies we do not hold this to use as a stop as it is part of our core dps rotation, but it provides a lot of free crowd control.
Wing Buffet this will knock enemies in front of you back, interrpting spells and repositioning mobs.
Tail Swipe this will knock enemies around you up into the air and slightly away from you, useful for interrupting groups of casts.
Other Utility
Rescue can be used to help reposition yourself as well as an ally while also providing a substantial shield when talented into
Twin Guardian
Time Spiral allows your entire party an additional use of their movement-based abilities, ours being
Hover this can be very helpful when needing to move through areas quickly.

How To Sim Mythic+ for Devastation Evoker
I recommend that you avoid dungeon-based simming for Devastation as its variance makes it a wildly inaccurate source; follow your normal raid/single target simming profiles and it will give you the correct answer in nearly every circumstance.
