In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of balancing haste and mana management for healers and suggests finding a comfortable level of haste to avoid running out of mana. For secondary stats, versatility is preferred over mastery due to its impact on damage. Several trinket options are recommended, including Brood Keeper’s Promise for passive healing and a versatility buff, and various DPS trinkets like Eye of Scovald and Furious Rage Feather. The speaker notes that there are no mandatory trinkets for Mythic Plus and mentions useful items like an evoker-specific staff and a fire damage ring from the raid.
The speaker moves on to discuss a basic talent build for dungeons, focusing on defensive utility. They suggest initial talent selections in the class tree, such as a route or faster Essence regen, and highlight potential switches like taking Protracted Talons for a damage buff. Additional talent points can be allocated to nodes that increase stamina or reduce magic damage.
On the specialization side, the main focus is on stasis and Font of Magic, with other points boosting damage and healing. Flexibility in the talent tree is discussed, including situational choices like Erasure, Renewing Breath, and Power Nexus. The speaker also suggests experimenting with talents like Grace Period, Exhilarating Burst, or Temporal Anomaly for additional healing and utility.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their personal experience with a spell, mentioning they found it clunky due to its cast time and targeting limitations. They then delve into key talent choices for enhancing gameplay. The main DPS combo relies on “Scarlet Adaptation” and “Leaping Flames,” where effective healing is converted into damage for the next “Living Flame,” allowing for a significant DPS burst. “Golden Hour” and “Echo” are highlighted for their synergy in healing, particularly for managing heavy damage on targets. The talents “Call of Ysera” and “Lifebind” are explained for their importance in group healing, with “Echo” enabling massive group heals. The speaker shares common healing combos, emphasizing the strategic use of “Verdant Embrace,” “Dream Breath,” “Reversion,” and “Spirit Bloom” to manage single-target and group healing effectively.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker offers detailed advice on how to effectively heal as an evoker. For single target healing, they suggest avoiding over-reliance on Living Flame spam and instead using abilities like Wing Buffet to protect tanks and Emerald Communion for strong single-target healing. For AOE healing, Dream Breath at one Empower level and Verdant Embrace (VE) boost sustained healing, while fully Empowered Spirit Bloom provides a massive heal on a 30-second cooldown. Emerald Blossom can be effective if teammates are stacked but less so if they’re spread out.
The speaker also emphasizes efficient use of essences. Echo is recommended for healing one or two targets, while Emerald Blossoms are best for stacked groups. If the party is too spread for effective AOE healing, they suggest conserving essences and using major cooldowns like Spirit Bloom and Echo for stability.
Key cooldowns include Tip the Scales for instant Empower ability casts, Rewind for group damage mitigation, and Stasis, which replicates and stores the next three spells for later use. Stasis is particularly useful for storing big AOE heals like Dream Breath and Spirit Bloom for critical moments.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker elaborates on several gameplay strategies and mechanics. They begin with a powerful healing combination involving “Empower a Dream Breath” and “Empower a Spirit Bloom,” which can be executed twice within 30 seconds for maximum group healing. For DPS rotation, the simplified approach involves charging and unleashing “Flame Breath,” then using “Living Flame” until “Flame Breath” is ready again.
Various talents can alter this rotation, such as using “Azure Strike” against multiple targets or “Disintegrate” for better mana efficiency and slightly more damage.
Key utility abilities include “Deep Breath” for extra DPS and stunning, “Cauterize” for removing status effects, and “Hover” for mobility and casting certain spells while moving. “Oppressive Roar” increases stun duration and is highly effective when combined with team abilities. The segment concludes with a promise to cover more pivotal abilities and leaves the discovery of other abilities to the viewer.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses additional points not covered earlier. They emphasize the benefits of spamming reversion and Echo reversion to maximize the chances of triggering the tier set bonus, which makes the next living flame instant cast and increases its damage by 20%. The video highlights the importance of using an interrupt and bloodlust in dungeons, especially in pug groups, and learning to use a Focus Target interrupt macro to balance healing and interrupting. The speaker did not cover consumables or enchantments but plans to create a separate guide for healers on this topic. The segment concludes by inviting viewers to leave questions in the comments and hinting at a future advanced guide for high-key play. Viewers are encouraged to subscribe for more content.
