Hero Talents

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Preservation Evoker
  • Chronowarden buffs a lot of your healing abilities and turns Tip the Scales into a strong cooldown.
  • Flameshaper also buffs a lot of your healing abilities and gives youEngulf which is a cooldown that does big AoE healing through Consume Flame.
  • Overall I recommend playing Chronowarden because it is very strong right now with all the buffs to your healing abilities and the DPS output it provides. So this guide will focus on playing that build.
Chronowarden
  • Chrono Flame‍
    • Makes your Living Flame turn into Chrono Flame which is a Bronze spell, which will give you stacks towards Temporal Compression, and will repeat 15% of the damage or healing you dealt to the target in the last 5 seconds.
  • ‍Warp transforms your normal ‍Hover into a Blink
    • This currently only works when you are on or close to solid ground, if you are too high up in the air it functions like a normal Hover. Be cautious, as this has a small delay.
  • Temporal Burst
    • Turns ‍your Tip the Scales into a strong cooldown, increasing Haste, Movement Speed, and Cooldown recovery rate by 30%, decreasing by 1% every second during the 30s duration of ‍Temporal Burst.
  • Reverberations
    • This makes your Spiritbloom apply an additional HoT for 30% of its healing over 8 seconds, and Primacy gives you 3% Haste for each rank you empowered it with, up to 9%.
  • Temporality
    • If timed correctly Temporality can be very strong as a minor defensive cooldown whenever you are out of everything else.
  • Threads of Fate 
    • Causes your empowered spells to provide a chance to echo their damage and healing by 15% of the amount again.
  • Double-time
    • Dream Breath and Fire Breath duration is extended by 2 sec, up to 12 sec, when they Crit.
  • Instability Matrix
    • Your empowered spell gets reduced by up to 6 sec when you cast it.
  • Golden Opportunity
    • When you cast Echo it has a 20% chance of causing your next one to be 100% stronger.
  • Afterimage
    • Each time you cast an empowered spell, up to 3 targets that you hit additionally get a Chrono Flame‍ cast onto them.

Rotation

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Preservation Evoker

Tier Set

  • 2-Set: Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their targets that heals them over 15 sec. Insurance! is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them.
  • 4-Set: CastingVerdant Embrace always applies Insurance! for 6 sec on the target and it's cooldown is reduced by 4 sec.
Chronowarden

Priority List

For Healing

  1. Cast max rank Fire Breath to gain Leaping Flames.
  2. Cast Dream Breath whenever you have Call of Ysera, empower it according to how urgent the healing is.
  3. Cast Spiritbloom, empower depending on how many party members need healing.
  4. Cast Temporal Anomaly to apply Echo.
  5. Spend Essence on Echo.
  6. Cast Verdant Embrace for high burst healing, and it has a guaranteed chance to apply Insurance! on all the targets.
  7. Cast Reversion on whatever target requires healing.
  8. Use Verdant Embrace, keep in mind that you preferably don't spend Call of Ysera on Living Flames if you have the option to use it on Dream Breath.
  9. Cast Living Flame to gain Essence Burst for free Essence casts.

For Damage

  1. Cast Fire Breath on cooldown.
  2. Cast Deep Breath if 3 or more targets and there's no danger of dying during the animation.
  3. Cast Disintegrate to gain mana back through Energy Loop and if you don't need to use Essence for healing.
  4. Cast Living Flame.

Cooldowns

Verdant Embrace

  • Verdant Embrace essentially becomes a healing cooldown due to Lifebind. Setting this up in combination with Echo is very powerful when used in conjunction with Emerald Communion, but also when casting Spiritbloom or instant Living Flame with Lifespark procs. Verdant Embrace now also applies Insurance! to all targets for extra throughput.

Time Dilation

  • Time Dilation is your go-to external whenever there's an ally in danger.

Stasis

  • Stasis is a good gap filler between your other healing cooldowns. If there's a dangerous damage event coming up when your Verdant Embrace / Dream Breath combo is on cooldown you should utilize Stasis instead with for example Temporal Anomaly, Spiritbloom and Dream Breath.

Tip the Scales

  • Tip the Scales is a good panic button in combination with Dream Breath or Spiritbloom. As Chronowarden you also get a very nice big haste buff from Temporal Burst.

Rewind

  • Rewind is the strongest cooldown Evoker has by far and can single-handedly salvage almost any dangerous situation. Due to its massive cooldown, it's best to plan for when you want to use it.

Deep Dive

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Preservation Evoker

Min maxing Lifebind

  • Set up with Echo on you and the other 3 dps, you can do tank as well but that's not needed. Use Verdant Embrace right after the big damage intake happens, and cast Emerald Communion for a massive heal on your group. You can more or less heal any damage intake event with this combo. You can also use Spiritbloom and instant cast Living Flame when Emerald Communion is on cooldown and this will do a lot of healing as well. Verdant Embrace now also applies Insurance! to all targets for extra throughput.

Min maxing Rewind

  • The more damage you have taken, the more healing Rewind will do. Try and hold off using it so your party takes as much damage as possible but if someone drops below say 30% hp, then you should use it, don't let anyone die by greeding this cooldown.

Understanding Mechanics

Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Stat Priority

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Preservation Evoker

Understand your secondary stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Mythic+ dungeons as a Preservation Evoker. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.

Preservation Evoker Mythic+ Stat Priorities

The conclusion here is that you want to equip the highest item level generally.

Blizzard introduced Stat DRs that you need to be aware of. To get to know what those are and why you have to care about them click here to get to our detailed stat DR resource post!

Tertiary

  • Avoidance - Reduces damage taken from AoE effects.
  • Leech - Returns a portion of your damage and healing done as healing to you. (Excludes self healing)
  • Speed - increases movement speed. (Does stack with other movement speed abilities)

The only time you should think about picking a lower item level is if it has Leech or Avoidance. Speed is nice to have, but you should generally ignore that stat.

Here is a showcase of how powerful Leech is for a Healer:

Trinkets

Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the dungeon.

Active Trinket alternatives

  • Funhouse Lens
    • A delve trinket that is a good on-use alternative at an equal item level.

Passive Trinket alternatives

  • Suspicious Energy Drink
    • Strong stat stick that can proc Mastery after casting harmful spells, farmable through Delves.
  • Mug's Moxie Jug
    • Strong stat stick as well, gives your spells a chance to grant you some Crit that stacks up but doesn't refresh the duration.
  • Reverb Radio
    • Strong stat stick, that gives you a high average of your preferred secondary stat.

Embellishments

  • Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension 1x
    • Gives you a random secondary stat every 8 seconds when in combat, that stacks up to 10 times.
  • Writhing Armor Banding 1x
    • Doubles the effect of your Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension embellishment.

Remaining Sparks

  • Crafted items are 675 item level and regular items are 678 at max item level, therefore it is not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.
