Hİ thanks for the video. I'm a beginner healer just started yesterday to heal with evoker and found your video. Do you have any advice to how can I improve myself I'm doing +2's to get used to but still can't cover the people. Range dps always out of range etc etc. Managment of stasis is hard. Your UI so clean do you have a healer ui video or plan to make one?
Heya! Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment! To be honest, it's not easy providing guides since we all have different goals with different level of understanding of the game and class. I might appear to be an expert to someone, but then at the same time, with the same advices, be considered a noob by someone else😆. That's why I think these unedited gameplays with cast history and official logs are super good reference since everyone can relate to this certain pulls or that particular boss, and see and compare how others deal with the same situation. However, with that said, you can check out these CZcams channels for their amazing detailed Pres Combo and strategies. They cover way more details than those guides from popular websites. They are a good start, and I learned soooo much from them! www.youtube.com/@ValiathGaming www.youtube.com/@Bowserthehealer www.youtube.com/@Eyelashtv I will share my UI in another message. Also, I do have some draft notes available for tip and tricks, so I'll just copy/paste them in another reply. Some might not be relevant, but you can pick and choose whichever you find useful. Welcome to Evoker healing!😄
Copy / Pasted from my notes on Preservation... excuse the mess 😆 ======================================== Evoker basics with Echoes, and how we deal with range limitations: - We can use Temporal Anomaly (TA) to apply multiple weak-Echoes, glide and manually cast 1-2 full-Echoes on whoever TA didn't reach (likely range who stand at max range, at opposite directions...). Heal any player would duplicate that healing to everyone else with Echo, unlimited range. - It's good to turn on friendly nameplate and play the "best-angle-to-connect-the-dot" game with TA projectile. We can even stand on/near the tank, and throw TA back at range dps (watch for frontal cleave though) - Spam Living Flame on enemy to get Essence Burst without consuming existing Echoes, so we can apply more free and full Echoes - If most players have Echo on them, heal the player without Echo to spread healing - Since we have short healing range, if necessary... rescue a range dps closer to the group before Dream Breath, TA, or other heals General tips: - If you come from another healing class, remember that Evoker is a cooldown-based healer. Evoker is very different from other healing classes since we don't have spammable spells. We need to setup echo to do meaningful sustained/burst/aoe healing. - If you find yourself not using any spells that has cd, you are not healing. Even Fire Breath is a healing cd with Life-Giver's talent - rank 1 for sustained healing, max rank for burst healing. - If all of our spells are on cd, Echo + Living Flame, or just Living Flame by itself heal for a lot (despite its long cast time, Living Flame is one of the strongest/spammable single-target healing in the game, and is the only spammable button we have) - Keep Echo up on group. You never know when someone might take random damage or step in fire - Cast TA on cd. Not just for Echo, AOE shield provided by TA is massive - TA has ~12 cd, and Echo it applies last ~19 sec, Echo up time should be easy with TA on cd. Consume Echo with Reversion before Echo expire to setup for Lifespark talent proc for later use General Combo: For setting up Stasis combos, we should pre-cast Verdant Embrace to gain 40% extra healing on Dream Breath. Then we begin Stasis by mixing in Dream Breath (rank 1 or max - both have their uses), Spiritbloom (max rank), and Temporal Anomaly. The order doesn't really matter as they all have their benefits. With upcoming expansion, we might remove TA, and add Engulf (hero talent) after Dream Breath. For setting up mass dispels, cast Statis, then Cautaurizing Flame or Naturalize on party members who DON'T have the associated debuffs. The ability will not go on cooldown, so you can cast them 3 times on 3 different targets. When the actual debuff hits, you can then relase Stasis, and dispel those targets. Some simple/regular combo: TA-Reversion, TA-DreamBreath, TA-VerdantEmbrace-EmeraldCommunion, TA-SpiritBloom, VerdantEmbrace-TA-DreamBreath My take on those dps that stand at max range: To progress further into higher keys, everyone needs to play their parts for dungeon mechanics and for the group. Every healer has at least 1 or more ultra-efficient healing spells that require the group to be close. Every tank can move while tanking and face the frontal away from group. All dps classes' have access to aoe stop abilities, and those abilities require them to be in close range or to shorten ability travel time for stops. If dps stand 40+ yards away all the time, they are not playing the mechanics nor for the group. These are just selfish/lazy plays, just like tanks don't manage frontals, or healers not healing... We do what we can to deal with healing difficulties, but it's for the tank and dps to learn how to play their parts, and play for the group in order to progress further. ========================================
@@Voids_Space Thank you so much for such a detailed answer I didn't expect anything like this can't thank enough! I wanna be able to play evoker as a whole like dev&aug&pres I know it is a really hard goal to achieve and I'm not a very skilled player like I even can't hold the ebon might and prescience up all the time. I watched some of your videos and I hope I can play like you someday. I also decided to upload my runs to youtube to see how bad I am and maybe fix something about my castings. I'll contiune support you I've lots of things learn from you keep up especially evoker the videos :D
@@shevoker No problem at all! Reviewing your own gameplay helps tons. Make sure to turn on Cast History such as "Details" Addon's "Broadcaster Tool". By doing so, you can kinda infinitely re-live the moment, review and come up with a better gameplay in the next run! 👍

Some simple/regular combo: TA-Reversion, TA-DreamBreath, TA-VerdantEmbrace-EmeraldCommunion, TA-SpiritBloom, VerdantEmbrace-TA-DreamBreath
My take on those dps that stand at max range:
To progress further into higher keys, everyone needs to play their parts for dungeon mechanics and for the group. Every healer has at least 1 or more ultra-efficient healing spells that require the group to be close. Every tank can move while tanking and face the frontal away from group. All dps classes' have access to aoe stop abilities, and those abilities require them to be in close range or to shorten ability travel time for stops.
