Preservation Evoker Is Strong In The War Within! Alpha Gameplay and Talents!

The War Within Alpha Insider Event was held 4-15 through 4-17, and Blizzard invited a bunch of us creators to check the game out early! And I of course went straight to preservation evoker! The new talents in the spec tree, the new hero talents Flameshaper and Chronowarden, and tested everything I could think of. Enjoy the earliest dungeon gameplay of the Rookery and Cinderbrew Meadery! Augmentation Alpha Video and my Season 4 DF Pres guide next!

Yesss!!! My favorite healer you tuber got alpha. Huge win for me. ❤

[@Soulmatic25]

Preservation is one of my all time favorite healers, because of its unique combo style system/setup!! It was already so fun to mix and match talents, but it was a little tough to do so Pre alpha. These changes set my heart ablaze!! They're flameshaping my soul (pun intended)!! I'm so happy we're getting tier 1/4 set bonus in our talent tree, I love how much more accessible talents are now in spec tree, much more mix matching potential!! The hero talents all look wonderful, the blink animation looks absolutely stunning. I'm so so so happy to see these changes!! Tank you for bringing this video about and giving us all the evoker info, we truly appreciate it!!

[@Mylvl3skiller]

So happy you got alpha access! You provide my favorite healing content, looking forward to seeing coverage on other healers too!

[@lizhannan9440]

I have to say I adore your content. I struggled with Pres evoker until I watched your content. You are a great resource for all healers generally. Well done mate!❤

[@HomicidalBluePikmin]

So excited to see you cover this!

[@MrMarkdanner]

Happy to see you got access, I simply cannot get enough of your healing content, especially Preservation! After getting back to WoW in november I stumbled into pres, and it’s so different and fun, but getting some actual good advice / content for pres is hard! Luckily we got you!

[@Bowserthehealer]

Im so honored, thank you! And don't worry, I wont stop making it!

[@michaelupperco7335]

Great video! Excited to see Aug next

[@Vikingeek]

I definitely like the sound of not being shoehorned into Stasis for build options. I'm still waiting for the remaining hero trees to come out and any other class changes to happen before committing to my TWE main, but I could well be sticking Evoker based on what I've seen so far - it all looks incredible!

[@manog2105]

As I am planning on maining pres in s4 and into TWW, I am really grateful for the constant videos Bowser. Thank you!!

[@Bowserthehealer]

I got your back!

[@Frk12]

Gratz! with the alpha

[@theoschmidt2086]

Thanks for this !

[@mapledmike]

Everything is looking pretty awesome I’m hyped!

[@valiantvincent2621]

this was a great breakdown and early look, I can't wait to see all the Aug stuff! seeing that the talents and Hero talents will be swappable at any time between dungeons/raid bosses etc, do you see a meta where players are choosing a flavor of playstyle they really like and sticking with it? or is there really room to micromanage things by hot swapping between things for specific content? it's probably too early to tell but my only real worry so far is that having this much variance and choice could lead to constant management of your spec and hero talents (although that likely would only entail the highest levels of content). can't wait to see the Shaman trees and info!

[@Zirouz]

Gz on alpha and thanks for sharing, I was hoping Chronoflame would look like 100% bronze/sand but It still is neat :)

[@liamdavies2823]

thank you so much

[@vonrin2490]

I just started playing wow agen. You got me into trying preservation evoker first i thot the kit was very boring then i learn more of how to use it and i understod it more i learn uts alot harder then it looks and is alot of fun. I just the guide you posted fore it and help so much and i recomend any healer to give preservation evoker a chans to try something difrent to play with ther combos. now preservation evoker is what i play the most of all😂

[@YouAreMeWho]

Looks really good I also like the dps talents. Now if they give Evokers the option to choose between visage and form in combat I might buy this expansion.

[@becjed1701]

Question about chrono warden capstone Are these full value chrono flames (aka 100% dmg and healing) or just the added part from chrono? Aka the 15% part Since if there full then thats actually kinda nice dmg

[@some_day_soon]

Lifespark is all I've ever wanted. Bless!

[@wintera138]

very informative video, thank you! i have a question: can Engulf be echoed?

[@Bowserthehealer]

I say so at the end, yes =D

[@SkogsDjuret]

Would love to see some TWW added pres visuals, like engulf and other stuff?

[@Bowserthehealer]

Soon! Like I said I don't think its implemented much at all yet. Like the heal from engulfing a heal and spreading it is huge! But there is no visual LOL

[@kevinmshields]

Does Warp work in visage? Been excited for Chronowarden but Flameshaper is looking better than I expected. Thanks for the video!

[@brads58]

@9:40 - did you hover and use fire breath? or was that boss mechanic pushing you? Just happened close together. Made me think they need to make hover allow empowerment spells to be mobile.

[@Bowserthehealer]

nah, We need to plant our feet still. Unfort but we will make it work!

[@Steelx17]

Nice Video are you gonna do a Augmentation alpha testing?

[@Bowserthehealer]

Already on it!

[@thelastshallbefirst3653]

I have a feeling pres evoker is going to pump in pvp. I'm going to make a dmg build for 2s so that I can help blow people up while healing when my partner needs it!

[@Bowserthehealer]

It pumps now! As a Pres PvP player it’s kinda nuts. Imagine next expac?! Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh I’m looking forward to it!

[@snozzmcberry2366]

Have they fixed the ranged dps positioning issue? As long as I have to exclusively play my own key and only invite melee on my prevoker in order to not pull what hair I have left out, it's going to see very little play from me in keys.

[@Bowserthehealer]

I hate saying this, but no. You need to be good at positioning on pres. If it aint your thing, don't play it. But most players ive seen complain about range, and position horribly. So its a work on it or go next kind deal.

[@jamesday3208]

All the ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrWiggles00706]

Ayo?? LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

[@RayKillough]

How did Chronomancer feel to play vs Flameshaper? I like the theme of Chronowarden much more but looking at the talents on paper vs Flameshaper it really seems boring and underwhelming in comparison. Are the changes to Hover and TTS enough to feel like the hero talents are actually doing something for you? I'd love to hear Chronowarden is an equally fun playstyle/value but am currently worried I'll be compelled into Flameshaper due to it seeming much more impactful, at least in theory.

[@jackiethomas3301]

do you know what the chance for an instant cast living flame is?

[@Bowserthehealer]

No, and I hate to leave you with "feeling" alone. But it felt slightly lower than season 1. But close to PTR season 4. Just dont forget to re-up reversion in down time, you'll get a ton!

[@jackiethomas3301]

@@Bowserthehealer HYPEEEEEE

[@Neek_23]

been looking for a place for Pres guidance and I think I found it

[@Bowserthehealer]

I know way too much about this spec, I got you!

[@lizardchadillidan]

Living flame is supposed to hit that hard, its made to make healers keep up or exceed DPS players. its going to make it to live at 100m

[@Bowserthehealer]

Look its on the DPS to kill it before I ramp to 100 million

[@iLIKEpieMMM]

Bowser your awesome, thinking of flameshaper build with blossom, bottom of the tree is ysera, lifebind, life givers, renewing breath, cycle, titan gift, temporal artifice down to grace period You get double reversion, double dream breath, enkindle from blossom and dream flight into an engulf during cycle of life

[@zacharyiler136]

Dude, heavy crit reversion build with essence burst every reversion crit, allowing echo spam, reversion on every target you can GCD it on, Dream Breath juggling with Engulf....... You could make a crit/vers M+ build or a crit/mastery raid build.... lord, I might make a healer.

[@becjed1701]

It just makes you gain a chance = to crit to get a multiplictive 100% gain to essence burst proc, doesnt add +100%

[@zacharyiler136]

@@becjed1701 Yea I got that, a bit less omg, but still with high crit stacking could be very good.

[@ironsideeve2955]

Hopefully blossoms arent garbage

[@Bowserthehealer]

They aren't bad now, just harder to work with. They will be much stronger here, I promise!

[@Schnaqer]

So any news on the range front?

[@Bowserthehealer]

position better, or suffer! Muahahahahahahahahaha

[@Schnaqer]

@@Bowserthehealer Can't say that i am surprised xD

[@tmtonjdndkan6167]

100mil seem legit.

[@Bowserthehealer]

Absolutely normal damage

[@warhammer_titanjalenr4577]

(im playing as we speak tryna make evoker work) but in my honest opinion probably the most boring class in the game on live at least and devastation is probably the only somewhat viable spec this class legit died in its on expansion.

[@Bowserthehealer]

Im sorry to hear that. I love it, its interesting, keeps me engaged. Maybe you need to challenge yourself more, maybe its not for you. But many specs to play instead if you don't like it!

[@AppHangout]

I love preservation but the range is a tragedy. If they boosted it to 40 yards I would be so happy. Even with the breath positional requirements.

[@tobiyt3414]

Range is legit no problrm stop whining about smth thats not a problem 🤷‍♂️

[@AppHangout]

@@tobiyt3414 i didn't say it was a problem. I said "I would be so happy" if they boosted it.

[@alihorda]

​@@tobiyt3414everybody talks about how limited ranged sucks as healer (and dps). So leave your rock and look around before writing such nonsense.

[@tobiyt3414]

@@alihorda Its not like that i am top 10 evoker heal But yeah go think that everyone says it sucks only people that dont play it on a daily basis say it sucks

[@alihorda]

@@tobiyt3414 every prevoker mentions that "if only the range wasn't limited". Don't ridicule yourself, it just sucks.
