Overview

A power DPS build for Evoker that features an actual power burst.

This build can be somewhat simplified (see trait and gear variants below) - the core rotation remains the same, but you don't need to be as precise. This simpler build loses a fair amount of burst, but equalises after ~25 seconds.

• You overcap on crit, so you can swap some pieces to Dragon stats if you want more health - don't drop below 60% crit chance though. This is a minescule DPS loss.

Utility

Usage

The cooldown reduction from specialising in Air essentially allows this build to play a Fresh Air rotation while still benefiting from Bolt to the Heart.

Every three weapon skills will charge Zap.

Rotation

The Opener requires you to be fast in order to get Ring of Fire (elementalist) down in time to combo with Dragon's Tooth and start building up stacks of Relic of Bloodstone. If you struggle to do this (or if you can't pre-cast Dragon's Tooth on the boss), swap the position of the first two steps.

If you don't have a charged Zap at the start of a fight, you can use Rejuvenate to charge it before you begin. Note that the opener also uses Rejuvenate, but it's not such a big DPS boost that you should make your team wait for the cooldown so just skip those steps.

1. Dragon's Tooth
2. Elemental Procession, and Zap during the cast
3. Rejuvenate

• Throughout the rotation use Zap and Lightning Blitz whenever they're available. Zap will interrupt Lightning Blitz, so delay using it for ~three seconds.
• Use other skills off cooldown, but with lower priority than weapon skills:
  • Use Fox's Fury and Elemental Procession off cooldown.
  • Use Glyph of Storms off cooldown when in Air Attunement.
