Jereico’s Devastation Evoker Guide

Formerly: Jereico’s Devastation Evoker Compendium

Devastation Evoker is World of Warcraft’s newest ranged DPS specialization to come with the Dragonflight expansion. As members of the new Dracthyr race, these once-proud soldiers of Neltharion wield the powerful magic of the five dragonflights, with Devastation specializing between the focused, overwhelming Spellfrost magic of the Blue dragonflight, and the fast, explosive Fire damage of the Red dragonflight.

This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about how to play Devastation Evoker, including an overview of the basic spells, more complex talent interactions, the best talent builds, rotation guides, and much more!
