Devastation Evoker DPS Spell List and Glossary — The War Within (11.0.7)

This page describes the essential spells and passives all Devastation Evokers have at Level 60. It goes over the main aspects of the specialization to help understand the remainder of the guide. It can also be helpful as a quick reference.

If you are leveling a Devastation Evoker, you likely will not have access to all of the abilities and passives listed here. However, our leveling guide can help specify when you will unlock everything.

Evokers utilize a new Resource called Essence, which regenerates over time at a rate of 1 Essence every 5 seconds.

You spend Essence on Disintegrate and Pyre to deal single-target or AoE damage, respectively.

Evokers also have Mana, primarily used for your healing abilities. As Devastation, you will not need to worry about your Mana except when casting many healing spells.
