In particular, the range of Preservation. The 30 yard experiment has failed. Being stuck at that range feels terrible, makes you susceptible to all kinds of CC, and forces you to play on top of your arena partners opening you to swaps.
What’s more, Pres evokers are provided nothing that compensates for the shorter range. Are we getting 25% more throughput for 25% less range? Are we getting any kind of auto-self heal or CC protection, as with other specs that melee heal? No?
I enjoy Evoker, but if they are going to commit to this kind of playstyle… they need to commit to making it work.
