Overview

A Quickness power DPS build for Evoker that features an actual power burst.

This build provides ample Quickness Quickness (albeit not as much as the fire build) but is very limited in terms of other boons or utility. You offer ~65% Fury Fury and ~7 Might Might from Fox's Fury, but that's about it.

The gear and rotation are identical to the DPS version, making it trivial to switch between the two.

  • You overcap on crit, so you can swap some pieces to Dragon stats Dragon stats if you want more health - don't drop below 60% crit chance though. This is a minescule DPS loss.

Utility


Usage

The cooldown reduction from specialising in Air essentially allows this build to play a Fresh Air rotation while still benefiting from Bolt to the Heart.

Every three weapon skills will charge Zap. Zap and Lightning Blitz generate Quickness Quickness around you.


Rotation

The Opener requires you to be fast in order to get Ring of Fire (elementalist) down in time to combo with Dragon's Tooth and start building up stacks of Relic of Bloodstone. If you struggle to do this (or if you can't pre-cast Dragon's Tooth on the boss), swap the position of the first two steps.

If playing the Inferno variant, move Fire Grab up to step 4 of the opener to trigger Relic of Fireworks. The rotation is mostly the same, but you don't have to worry about reliably comboing for Relic of Bloodstone.


If you don't have a charged Zap at the start of a fight, you can use Rejuvenate to charge it before you begin. Note that the opener also uses Rejuvenate, but it's not such a big DPS boost that you should make your team wait for the cooldown so just skip those steps.

You can precast Rock Barrier up to 30 seconds before the fight starts so you don't have to cast it in the opener.


Opener

  1. Dragon's Tooth
  2. Elemental Procession, and Zap during the cast
  3. Rejuvenate
  4. Ring of Fire (elementalist), and Zap during the cast
  5. Phoenix
  6. Fire Grab
  7. Air Attunement
  8. Lightning Strike

  10. Ride the Lightning
  11. Lightning Blitz, and Earth Attunement during the cast
  12. Earthquake
  13. Hurl
  14. Dust Devil
  15. Churning Earth, and Air Attunement during the cast
  16. Lightning Strike
  17. Lightning Storm, or Signet of Fire if running Inferno
  18. Zap
  19. Water Attunement
  20. Shatterstone
  21. Water Trident
  22. Water Trident
  23. Shatterstone, and Air Attunement during the cast

Fire

  4. Fire Grab just before Dragon's Tooth comes off cooldown
  5. Dragon's Tooth, and Air Attunement during the cast


Air 1

  1. Lightning Strike
  2. Ride the Lightning
  3. If you're fast and no utility cooldowns are available, you'll need to briefly auto here so that Earthquake is off cooldown when you swap
  4. Earth Attunement

  2. Rock Barrier
  3. Dust Devil
  4. Churning Earth (if available)
  5. Hurl

  4. Return to start of Fire


  • Throughout the rotation use Zap and Lightning Blitz whenever they're available. Zap will interrupt Lightning Blitz, so delay using it for ~three seconds.
  • Use other skills off cooldown, but with lower priority than weapon skills:
    • Use Fox's Fury and Elemental Procession off cooldown.
    • Use Glyph of Storms off cooldown when in Air Attunement (if running Persisting Flames), or Fire Attunement (if running Inferno).
    • If running Inferno, use Signet of Fire off cooldown when in Air Attunement.
