[@bOdziOWolf]

Feels like Preservation has now much more choices that are equal and play style related, nice!

3k rated S3, I've been running nozdormu's teachings since S2. You get so much extra throughput from your empower spells that for the most part major cooldowns are not used in anything below 10-12 right now and stasis is basically never used. At some point I stopped speccing into it. Don't miss it one bit. Flow state is amazing and easily the most valuable points on the tree when playing nozdormu's, because you are going to be maintaining the buff basically 100% of the time with minimal effort and you're double dipping empower CDR.

What's your talent build look like to get the Nozdormu and Flow state build? it does look fun. keen to try it out

Raid blossom build enjoyer here. The 15% mana reduction and power nexus position change has been great! I can cast 3 or 4 blossoms in any damage windows depending on essence burst with 30% spawning another one. These will be cause HOTS in the war within.

Whats blossom build?

[@Harggos]

You may be kidding, but it’s a build that uses essence to cast emerald blossoms vs echos. It’s a little more flexible vs the ramping echo builds. Usually only used in raid.

[@sibin007]

@@Harggos looking for a new main in TWW, and Evoker looks cool. Do u have a video to share about this build? I wanna something easy to play

[@Harggos]

@sibin007 I wish! I wouldn’t be as good as our man Bowser. This is an easy fun gameplay style. I do recommend something like this. You use resonating sphere + reversion and living flames to farm essence burst. Use empowered abilities pretty much off cooldown and emerald blossoms when needed.

[@Orcaaaan]

Im switching to Evoker for TWW and i might also heal for the first time in my life basically, so thats going to be interesting.. specially seeing how bursty the damage is nowadays. Are you planning on doing a Augmentation Video too? Also, any professions you prefer?

[@WordslingerWillard]

Forbidden Titan's Gift tech actually made me D: I really hope they don't "fix" that, that's awesome.

[@shanehare5954]

I have been torn between BDK and Prevoker as my main I gained pally for the last 2 seasons and it's almost complete bis so it'll be my alt but now it's decided Prevoker main

[@jonpess1212]

it feels like that there is got to be a crazy flameshaper combo in raids thats mental and we just havent figured it out yet. just think of crazy combos with stasis...i think were not respecting it enough, unless the consume flame talent is not as good as i think it is

[@hanzomain8302]

I have Problems to heal in Pugs my range mates. Have you suggestion how to get around the preservation Evoker range limit

[@Soulmatic25]

I'd say Spatial Paradox is absolutely amazing for this, which is now on the class tree. Like hover, you can't cast empowered spells when on the move. But, if you coordinate Spatial Paradox with tip the scales, it'll give you a lot more freedom. Also, make sure to save hover for high damage and/or high movement effects. Try to place echos on range players before a damage event goes out, the echoes last a long time, so don't worry about cashing them out quickly. Echo on range player > damage event happens > semi charged Dream Breath (this gives you strong upfront healing and a decent hot). Or echo on range players > damage event happens > verdant embrace (applies life bind if talented) > hover > Emerald communion Also,don't underestimate instant cast living flame. If a range player is too far out, use hover to get close and throw that living flame. It heals for a metric ton and will generally heal the player to near full health. Or hover over to range player, echo them, go over to another endangered player and cast instant living flame. Both targets will get healed for a massive amount. Don't forget about temporal anomoly, that things travels very far!! Anyone it hits will get a shield and a reduced echo if talented. If a target seems to far out, don't be afraid to cast TA, more than likely it'll keep traveling and hit that target. Pres evoker is the king/queen of combos. Our range is short, buttt we have a lot of different ways to get around it now.

[@neverbetter8990]

Preemptively echo people who want to stand far away, rescue them into dream breath when you need to. BTW echo has infinite range for duplicating the effects of heals. It happens that sometimes I die while the fight goes on and can release - if there is an echo still out there, I can heal that person from spawn.

[@Domstroof]

How do you deal with interrupting? I feel like I can't click the enemy fast enough before someone else interrupts first and I waste quell or tail whip/wing buffet since they have like cds

[@Bowserthehealer]

So first of all you dont target for tail or wing, so thats all positioning! As for quell, first of all its a skill to get really good at clicking and kicking. But also WoW has a feature where tabbing selects targets with cast bars first. So have enemies kinda centered in your screen, and you can tab and kick! It works well, sometimes when not centered but I find if I can fit all the mobs and bars on screen it plays nicer. So part skill, part getting used to tab into kick!

[@Domstroof]

@@Bowserthehealer Ah I see now I have my tab on to select nearest enemy but had a hunch the game selects them for me, I usaully just let my teammates just do the interrupts for me since anything that isn't evoker is better at interrupting

[@Bowserthehealer]

@@Domstroof And its good to hold yours for spells that can kill people. Like a low DPS. So its good to know how, saving it isn't bad!

[@Domstroof]

@@Bowserthehealer Another question is what is the best to be able to dispell? I use decursive but it's felt a little janky and have no idea what 'not yet recovered' means, I haven't done the hover over method edit: dispell I mean cleasne compeltely two different things mb lol
