As the title says, Evokers have WAY too many immunities. 2 kick immunities, slow immunity with hover, cc immunity from shroud. They already have “Emerald Communion” and strong heals, along with ridiculous mobility AND 2 knockbacks. Nerf it ASAP. They are quite literally unplayable against as any melee in arenas. And I say this as someone who plays both monk and dh. What “testing” gets done in beta? Nothing? What a joke.
Preservation or devastation?
someone got owned by an Evoker in PvP it seems
Devastation is fine, its Preservation thats the problem. It literally hard counters every melee in the game and makes it so your forced to go the other person on their team, which half the time is a dh.
Emancipation proclamation.

Dev is trash. Pres. is kinda great, but ranged kinda counters any evoker spec.
Well if they have Emerald Communion it’s a Preservation Evoker as that spell is in the spec tree. Also, it’s pre-patch, let the new shiney be op for a while. DKs got to be. DH got to be.
Dev if anything needs a buff IMO. It doesnt seem to do really any good consistent damage from what I’ve seen. I’m fine with Pres having kick immunities (really every healer IMO should have one, makes it more forgiving of a role to play) but the fact they have an ability that heals a decent amount, that can be used during almost every type of CC is absurd, but it wouldnt be such a problem if they didnt already have a shroud that lasts 30 seconds and prevents the next 3 CCs and have 2 charges of hover that provide slow and root immunity.
Not hard to bait Dracthyr into wasting their CDs to nuke them from a distance.
Will say when they hit Rescue and get hit with Mortal Coil is hysterically fantastic. Their poor buddy being flung about like a rag doll and unable to do anything bout it.
Notice I said “melee”. Ranged is fine against them because they’re ranged (no brainer).PLUS hover lasts a long time, they can cast while moving while its up, it gives movement speed, and the slow immunity. Little absurd isnt it? Also, shroud is not affected by slows and roots. I tried. Its only HARD cc (fears, poly, stun, etc…) so theres no way to remove it without spamming purge 3 times or wasting 3 different DRs into it.
I hope so. It’s pretty fun
It’s probably because despite them being ranged, they have to remain in close range to attack.
It is very fun. I enjoy it, its just sad that Dev is kinda lackluster whereas Pres is easily a top tier healer with mw-like throughput and the strongest mobility in the game.
Kind of class that’s great in low brackets and gets absolutely roflstomped with a modicum of skill.
I can promise you Evoker will not get roflstomped in higher rating. It will be the same story.
This is a skill issue if you’re playing DH and can’t handle an evoker. Maybe work on how you’re using fel rush, fel eruption, detain, chaos nova, meta, and vengeful retreat. While evokers have amazing mobility so do DH’s.

No, you can’t. Especially across RBG and Arenas AND world PVP.
