Introduced in Patch 11.0.7, Cyrce's Circlet is a new ring offering unique bonuses and effects. In most cases, you will want to prioritze the gems that increase your stats for every form of content. If you care very little about your actual healing output, you can instead opt for damage focused gems.

We recommend the following gems:

• In raid or for Healing focus, you will use: Windsinger's Runed Citrine, Stormbringer's Runed Citrine, and Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine.
• For damage focus, you will want to play Thunderlord's Crackling Citrine, Undersea Overseer's Citrine, and Legendary Skipper's Citrine

For more information on how to get the ring, as well as acquiring all of the different gems that you can possibly socket into it, check out our Cyrce's Circlet guide below!

The best Embellishment for Preservation Evoker is Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. Given that this requires a weapon to use, it will allow you to gain early access to a very high item-level weapon while also giving you a nice embellishment bonus. Once you craft this, you will generally want to make Writhing Armor Banding, which will double the power of your weapon embellishment. Outside of this, the remaining options are fairly close but also unimpressive. You have the choice between Dawnthread Lining, Duskthread Lining, or even Binding of Binding if you care only about extra DPS.

Generally, Haste/Mastery is a good stat combination to go with for pure healing, otherwise you can go Haste/Versatility if you plan on playing an equal amount of Mythic+ and Raiding.

1. First craft a max item level weapon and use Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. This will give you a massive power boost not only in the form of primary stat on weapon but also in having an early embellishment.
2. With your second craft, you can use it on Writhing Armor Banding. In general, you want to craft these on slots that are unlikely to be replaced and don't have extremely competitive options. For example, crafting any embellishment on a tier slot can tend to be a waste in case you need to use that slot for tier. Similarly, if you get a super rare neck or ring, it would also be a waste to have an embellishment on the sale slot. Generally, you want to chase item level with something like Boots/Belts/Bracers > Rings/Necks > Cloaks.
3. Next, chase Item Level where needed; if you have any slot massively behind, it could be a good idea to target it.
4. At this point, you are mostly done crafting. You can spend future Sparks on off-spec items, alternatively statted crafts for different situations, or even Duskthread Lining for Mythic+. Keep in mind that you can continue to view an updated list of best embellishments through the QuestionablyEpic website.

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the of the Destroyer moniker. Unique bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2 or 4 pieces from the set:

• Evoker Preservation Season 1 2pc — Reversion healing is increased by 10% and it has a 50% chance to grant 1 additional stack of Temporal Compression. Reversion is currently a very weak spell to use in Raid, but the bonus is quite nice in Mythic+, giving players an additional bit of passive healing, allowing for more time to DPS.
• Evoker Preservation Season 1 4pc — Temporal Compression increases the healing of your next empower spell by 10% per stack. This tier bonus places a heavy emphasis on generating and using Temporal Compression stacks, but Empowers play a large role in our kit, making this bonus quite useful in every form of content.

Unfortunately, the 2pc bonus for this tier set is quite weak, but you will still want to wear it as soon as possible; you may just not have priority compared to other players. The 4pc, on the other hand, is decent enough, making it a bit more exciting to achieve relative to obtaining 2pc. You can use the Matrix Catalyst to convert regular items (from Mythic+, for example) into Tier Items.

You only need 4 pieces out of 5 to get both set bonuses. We recommend you get all items except for the Gloves due to their Haste. Check out the BiS List for more information.
