The resonating sphere buff was needed, and I appreciate the wow team doing that though I want to talk about reversion.
The ability is completely neglected, besides M+ you’re almost never using reversion in raids and one could say just take it off your bars but that’s erasing the question.
There a bunch of talents that directly (and even more talents that indirectly encourage casting reversion like Spark of Insight/temporal compression) that buff reversion in the talent tree but there’s no justification for taking them, unless I’m being forced into taking them in order to get the capstone talents (stasis/cycle of life)
I remember reversion was a very cool ability and loved using it in raid during season 1, but losing the tier set and all the nerfs to sphere/golden hour etc ruined the ability.
since then there has been no changes to address how awful reversion is in raid (except that 1 change where it costs more mana but now sometimes it gives you an essence burst)
A step into the right direction would be to make rewind a 3 minute CD baseline, and turn that talent into an actual useful reversion talent (reversion applies to 2/3 targets now maybe?)
would love to hear what the Team/other pres enjoyers think about this and if reversion is worth a redemption.
Thanks for reading it all, if you did so.

- EVOKER
- Source of Magic now lasts 1 hour (was 30 minutes).
- Preservation
- Developers’ note: We would like maintaining Reversions to feel more rewarding for Preservation Evoker, even when playing an Emerald Blossom focused build. As a result, we are tying in casts of Reversion with Essence Burst. This should make the rotational flow of Preservation smoother and more enjoyable. Since this introduces more mana-free spell casts, we are also increasing mana costs to compensate. As always, feedback on this change is welcome and we will be monitoring discussion around this.
- Essence Burst may now trigger from casts of Reversion.
- Mana cost of most spells increased by 10%.
This Reversion change on PTR will make Reversion very strong. Reminiscent of s1 Pres I think

I already mentioned this in my post, it legit changes nothing. a random essence burst from time to time is nothing, it procs from casting it only, not the heal over time.

Oh, I see that as a huge and impactful change. Unless I am mistaken, it will have a chance to proc essence burst even when echo’d. That’s a lot of Essence bursts

Spending your echos on reversion sounds horrible, just to get an essence burst or two.
take it from someone who’s currently 4/9m on a pres evoker
Going to be stacking crit, and using reversion.

Bruh, this is a great change. even in raids.
Temporal anomaly is back at 5 targets; so imagine using TA to get echo on 5 targets, then Reversioning a 6th target. Since its 15% per reversion (separate roll for each echo’d reversion), it’ll be a 63% chance to get essence burst. Thats just from once cast of TA and reversion…
that is alot of extrea essence burst

Any reason you wouldn’t just living flame?
I already have mana issues in some raid bosses. Now you will be punished for not using reversions and getting procs. Why they gotta force our hand like this. Might be worth going back to S1 play style with TA now sending out 5 echos again.
Probably due to Golden Hour + instant cast. That’s why I would use it instead of living flame.
Living flame has a higher chance to proc essence burst and can reproc full strength echos due to tier. Spending echos on reversion seems like a waste.
Yes, that’s true. However, Reversion also increases the healing you do to people with it on them by 10%. It would be worth having reversion on people for that, imo. You would probably weave between Living Flame and Reversion for that buff.
The echo build doesn’t run that, and the blossom build only takes it because it leads to cycle of life
I suppose the builds could change when the reversion changes and resonating sphere changes go into effect, no?
The upcoming reversion change looks great - I wish they’d bring back the s1 set bonus where we could generate living flames. Adding in the extra DPS or healing felt really nice. Maybe they’ll bake it into Ruby Adept since it was well-received.
