Preservation Evoker PvP Guide — The War Within (11.1.0)

Evokers are the newest class being introduced in Dragonflight and Preservation is the healing specialization. In PvP, they are fun, challenging, and extremely mobile. The playstyle of Preservation is a combination of Restoration Druid and Mistweaver Monk. Keep your primary HoTs up on targets taking damage and use your mobility to avoid crowd control.
