With a little over a week until their release on November 15th in the Dragonflight Pre-Patch,
Evoker tuning
remains an ongoing process on Beta realms. Our Devastation Evoker Guide Writer, Preheat, breaks down the latest tuning efforts, so you'll know exactly what to expect when this new Ranged DPS spec hits live servers.
Devastation Evoker recently received
some tuning
. Including the nerf to
Око вечности
, these changes are all related to
Погребальный костер
and it's usage in AoE.

Погребальный костер
&
Нестабильность
At face value, this is a 30% buff to
Погребальный костер
, and a buff to the
Нестабильность
as well.
Нестабильность
is finally a worthy choice in AoE, although points are still very tight.
Заряженный взрыв
and other buffs to
Погребальный костер
that are consumed on cast do not affect
Нестабильность
. On Average, 1 point in
Нестабильность
will increase your natural
Погребальный костер
damage by 17.5%. 2 points further increase it to around 42.8% per
Погребальный костер
.
The bottom line is that
Погребальный костер
is now worth casting starting at 4 targets, and it is worthwhile to cast at 2 or 3 targets under certain circumstances, such as
Заряженный взрыв
. This means Devastation is far better off in AoE.
So
Погребальный костер
got buffed! Great! What about that other part?
Око вечности
&
Мерцание
At first glance you may be wondering how
Око вечности
could possibly relate to
Погребальный костер
, but its actually pretty important that this talent changes. One of the biggest reasons why
Погребальный костер
was devalued was
Взрывная сущность
generation from
Дезинтеграция
when using
Мерцание
,
Охват вечности
, and
Око вечности
. Each
Мерцание
proc hits 2 targets with
Охват вечности
, which means twice the chances to critically strike and return
Взрывная сущность
via
Око вечности
.
Since
Дезинтеграция
was able to generate
Взрывная сущность
but
Погребальный костер
was not, this meant that using
Погребальный костер
also meant having to cast more
Лазурный удар
s in AoE. The opportunity cost of spending
Сущность
or
Взрывная сущность
on
Погребальный костер
was too high, and it was forcing a playstyle where we often ignored
Погребальный костер
aside from extreme AoE or high
Заряженный взрыв
stacks.
This is a very painful nerf to Devastation and mostly eliminates one of the biggest strengths of the spec, 2 target funnel. It's around a 5% damage loss to swap to
Причина и следствие
instead, which seems to be the right choice for now. Our 2 target took an even larger hit at around a 7% loss. Overall this is a good but painful change, since it makes us actually pay attention to
Сущность
and makes
Погребальный костер
a better button to press to spend, comparatively.
Conclusion
The verdict is that Devastation finally got the AoE buff it needed, but at a heavy cost. In AoE it's hard to say the exact impact but we are far better off now. On the other hand, the
Око вечности
loss and the additional nerf to the Evoker 2p bonus (
Мерцание
procs no longer provide
Бесконечные возможности
) have nerfed Devastation in Single Target and Cleave by around
8-10%
, and it wasn't exactly topping meters in Single Target before. Personally I feel this was a necessary change, and I hope Devastation gets some Single Target tuning to help it bounce back from this huge setback.
