Cooldowns

Engulf

• Casting Engulf on a target with Dream Breath consumes 4 sec of Dream Breath and detonates it for 300% of the amount consumed, giving you very high burst healing output on a 30 sec cooldown with 2 charges.
• Engulf is also now hasted, meaning the cooldown is reduced for the amount of haste you have.

Dream Flight

• Fly over your allies and apply a HoT as well as direct healing, during this time you are immune to any movement and loss of control effects, you can use this for movement around a encounter, break roots, or simply as a decent healing cooldown, be careful to not fly into frontals or other boss mechanics that can get you killed!

Verdant Embrace

• Verdant Embrace essentially becomes a healing cooldown due to Lifebind. Setting this up in combination with Echo is very powerful when used togetherwith Emerald Communion, Spiritbloom or instant Living Flame casts with Lifespark procs. Verdant Embrace now also applies Insurance! to all targets for extra throughput.
• Due to Dream Breath always landing on yourself, you can utilize this ramp and cast Verdant Embrace into Dream Breath into Engulf on yourself for huge aoe healing and healing through lifebind.

Time Dilation

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

Stasis

• Stasis is a powerful cooldown in raids, offering significant utility. It can effectively supply Echo by allowing you to cast 2-3 Temporal Anomaly spells within it.
  • Do this pre-pull whenever there's a healing requirement early in the fight.
• This setup enables a raid-wide coverage of Echo, which can be used in combination with Reversion or to provide a raid-wide buff through Lifebind into Emerald Communion.
• Additionally, you can fill Stasis with Temporal Anomaly, Spiritbloom, and Dream Breath, ensuring effectiveness in any scenario. If you are using the Blossom Build, consider incorporating Emerald Blossom as well.
• You can also put in Engulf into Stasis to have extra uses of it. Remember though, you should always cast it on yourself, as you will guaranteed have Dream Breath on yourself, for ease of proccing Consume Flame.

Tip the Scales

• Tip the Scales is great for on-demand burst healing when used withDream Breath or Spiritbloom.

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 carefully plan when you want use it.
