Evoker - Power Evoker Fire Inferno

The community gave this build a rating, making it top-tier: Great

Focused on: Strike damage

Designed for: Open World and Open World General

Expansions required: Visions of Eternity builds

Difficulty:
Normal

This build was last updated on February 01, 2026 and is up to date for the December 09, 2025 patch.

Overview

Fire evoker is a fast paced build for open world. By specialising in Fire Attunement with Specialized Elements, you spam your Fire skills to melt your enemies with Burning Burning, which scales with your power damage due to Inferno. However, you cannot attune to the other elements.

You also provide permanent Quickness Quickness and very high amounts of Might Might to yourself and nearby allies.

As a downside, this build is purely offensive and really struggles with crowd control, support, or defense. But the reduced number of skills available lowers its complexity.

Skill Bar

Scepter/Focus
Utility
  • Choose Ignite, the fire fox, as your familiar. Due to the trait Specialized Elements, you can only attune to Fire Attunement. We recommend you set this skill to autocast by pressing Control+Mouse2 on its icon.

Weapon Variants

  • Offhand dagger Offhand dagger - sidegrade option in open world since enemies are unlikely to sit in Focus' Flamewall.

Skill Variants

Heals

We default to Rejuvenate as it heals and also charges your familiar skill. Other alternatives are:

  • Signet of Restoration - good passive healing and works great with evoker's fast-paced playstyle, but very weak heal on demand, leaving you vulnerable to burst damage.
  • Glyph of Elemental Harmony - strong burst healing and a boon based on attunement.
  • Arcane Brilliance - weak heal by default, but is greatly increased if it strikes nearby enemies. Performs a blast finisher, and heals for more when doing so. Excellent synergy with water combo fields. (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields).
  • Ether Renewal - very high healing and condition removal throughout its long channelling time. Great option for raw healing if you can afford the cast time.

Utilities

Fox's Fury is a great source of damage and boons, and a stun break. Never replace it.
Signet of Fire is a great source of damage with its active skill. It should not be replaced unless really needed.
Armor of Earth is a stunbreak and gives barrier and Stability Stability. Can be replaced if needed.
Other alternatives are:

  • Arcane Shield - great stun break that blocks attacks.
  • Glyph of Elemental Power - damage and stun break.
  • Cleansing Fire - burning, condition cleanse, and stun break.
  • Lightning Flash - mobility.
  • Glyph of Storms - AoE damage.

Elites

Glyph of Elementals - creates a fire elemental summon with good damage. Other alternatives are:

  • Elemental Procession if you don't like having a pet, this is a good option. It is also a good hard crowd control option.


Specializations

Relic

If you are gearing this character from zero, start with exotic quality gear. Search the trading post for "Zhed" armor, "Hypnotic Scepter" scepter, "Usoku's Needle" dagger. Upgrade to ascended gear as you progress. See also: Guide:How to Gear a Character.

  • You achieve 100% burning duration with this set up of runes and sigils. It is very important that you use these runes and sigils. Inferno makes burning scale with power.
  • Fous can be replaced with dagger since in open world enemies are unlikely to sit in focus' Flamewall
  • Consider Relic of Zakiros to trade a minor amount of damage for sustain.
  • For defense, equip the highest tier Jade Core you can afford.

Usage

Evocation

Evocation is the profession mechanic of the evoker. You specialise in one attunement and gain a familiar of that element. In this build, you specialise in Fire Attunement, gaining the Ignite skill and the fire fox familiar. With the fox, you gain Might Might when you inflict Burning Burning. After casting Ignite three times, you gain Conflagration.

We recommend you set Ignite to autocast by pressing Control+Mouse2 on its icon.

Moreover, due to the trait Specialized Elements, you can only attune to Fire Attunement, and Ignite charges up faster.

Damage

This build revolves around the trait Inferno, making Burning Burning scale with your power.

We recommend you set Ignite to autocast by pressing Control+Mouse2 on its icon.

After casting two weapon skills, cast Ignite for damage. This also reduces all your weapon skills' cooldowns by 10% of the skill's recharge time.

After casting Ignite 3 times, cast Conflagration. This also reduces all your weapon skills' cooldowns by 20% of the skill's recharge time.

Make sure to cast Dragon's Tooth and Phoenix inside your fire fields (Flamewall with Focus Focus, Ring of Fire (elementalist) with Dagger Dagger) to create a combo finisher, generating Might Might. (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields).

Flamewall (or Fire Grab if using dagger) will activate Relic of Fireworks.

Defense

  • Move out of attacks while casting your skills. Dodge incoming telegraphed attacks.
  • If needed, use deffensive skills suchs as Armor of Earth for stunbreak, barrier and Stability Stability.

Crowd Control

You do not have any crowd control whatsoever. If CC is required, swap to:

  • Elemental Procession

If you require even more CC, bring Conjure Frost Bow so you and an ally can use Deep Freeze.

Warming Hearth gave this build 5 stars • November 2025
Overpowered and not difficult to play, although it has very high APM even for elementalist's standards.
