On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Devastation Evoker, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft Patch 12.0.5.

1.

The best stats for Devastation Evoker is Crit and Haste, so that is what we will be gemming for.

You should use Powerful Eversong Diamond Icon Powerful Eversong Diamond in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Critical damage effect, ideally Flawless Quick Garnet Icon Flawless Quick Garnet, Flawless Deadly Peridot Icon Flawless Deadly Peridot, Flawless Deadly Amethyst Icon Flawless Deadly Amethyst, and Flawless Deadly Lapis Icon Flawless Deadly Lapis. Fill in the remaining sockets with Flawless Quick Garnet Icon Flawless Quick Garnet.

Optimal Consumables

Consumables such as Flasks, Food, Potions, even Oils can increase your power by a noticeable margin and are worth utilizing anytime you are doing challenging content. If gold isn't a concern, you can choose to always use them!

3.1.

Flask

You should use one of these two flasks depending on what your lower stat is.

  • Flask of the Blood Knights Icon Flask of the Blood Knights - If you need more Haste
  • Flask of the Shattered Sun Icon Flask of the Shattered Sun - If you have very low Crit
3.2.

Combat Potion

The combat potion that we will be using throughout Midnight is Potion of Recklessness Icon Potion of Recklessness. This potion grants a large boost to your highest secondary stat but reduces your lowest. Something to be aware of: If you have 0 Versatility, the negative aspect of this potion will not occur.

3.3.

Food Buff

As a Devastation Evoker you will want to use the best primary stat food available to you. Currently this would be the Silvermoon Parade Icon Silvermoon Parade feast if available. If the feast is not available, or if the secondary stat feast is placed, then you should use Royal Roast Icon Royal Roast personal food.

3.4.

Augment Rune

You should use an Augment Rune if you can afford it during Progression, especially when you get close to a kill. It provides a sizeable boost to Intellect. We do not recommend using at all times, as they are often quite expensive. Using the current best rune is approximately a 1% DPS gain. For Season 1 the following Augment Rune is available:

  • Void-Touched Augment Rune Icon Void-Touched Augment Rune
