Stat Priorities
Stat Ranking
Item level is by far the biggest upgrade, especially early on in the tier, as it increases your intellect. After that you can balance it out more by following this priority:
Raiding: Intellect > Mastery > Crit > Versatility > Haste
Mastery will be your biggest gain in raiding. Closely followed by crit.
Mythic+: Intellect >= Haste = Crit > Versatility > Mastery
If you feel like you’re lacking healing in mythic+, especially early on in the season you can opt in for more mastery as this increases your throughput. The stat priority above is for the biggest gain in damage in keys.
Mastery does nothing for your damage so it loses its value in Mythic+. Every other stat increases both your damage and healing so a variety of stats is good to go with. Versatility is a good stat for higher keys because it helps reduce your damage taken but you can’t really go wrong with any of them.
Races
Evoker is only available to the Dracthyr race.
Enchants
You want to default to leech enchants on both bracers (Chant of Armored Leech) and cloak (Chant of Leeching Fangs). On progress encounters where you’re in danger of getting one shot you would want to default to avoidance. Avoidance will make it safer to take big hits, while leech will help you get topped faster and provide a bit of extra throughput.
For your legs you will want to go with Sunset Spellthread. These increase your intellect and stamina. For boots you can pick up Defender’s March, this increases your stamina. With Evoker being a fairly mobile healer, speed isn’t that necessary.
For your chest you want to pick up Crystalline Radiance, this increases your primary stat.
Ring enchants will be dependent on the content you do and on the rest of your gear. They are good for balancing out your stats. As a rule of thumb you’d want Radiant Mastery for raiding and in Mythic+ you can use ring enchants to fill in gaps of your stats. For your weapon enchant you want to go with Authority of Fiery Resolve.
Gems
Deadly Onyx will be your main filler gem.
Elusive Blasphemite is a unique gem that requires you to run colored gems to enhance it.
Use Masterful Ruby, Masterful Emerald and Masterful Sapphire to fill up your Elusive Blasphemite.
Consumables
Health Potion: Algari Healing Potion
Mana Potions:
- Instant Mana Potion: Algari Mana Potion
- Sleeping Mana Potion: Slumbering Soul Serum
Sleeping potions will give you more mana than an instant mana potion if fully channeled but they might be hard to use and fully channel in a high movement encounter. If you don’t need the extra mana, you can use Tempered Potion for either more healing or more damage.
Flask: Flask of Tempered Mastery will be your best option. The latter gives you a bit more survivability. Flask of Tempered Aggression is a good option to gain a bit of Crit as well.
Food: Feasts of the Midnight Masquerade are your best option. Your personal food will be Beledar’s Bounty.
Weapon Oil: Algari Mana Oil is the default, this increases your Crit and Haste.
Augment Rune: Crystallized Augment Rune.
