Got 'em. How the turn tables. Our balls are in your court now Blizz.
Not really the same kind of Evoker though.
In the case of the Defias, it’s just a name.
Spellcasters are called lots of things, Evoker is just another name.
Evoker in that case is actually referring to the arcane school of Evocation. It’s perhaps one of the biggest reasons I resent the name of the Dracthyr exclusive class.
Yeh, I get they went with Evoker as in evoking the Dragonflight’s powers, but it is a pretty generic word. All magic users are technically evoking their schools of magic.
whats the difference?
Evoker? i hardly knew 'er!
Evokers use flight and dragon’s breath.
Humans don’t have wings nor dragon’s breath (though some may have exceedingly bad breath!).
Dracthyr Evokers use magic from the five dragonflights.
Evoker mobs like the one the OP linked just call upon other magic fields.
These are mage spells.
Flamestrike — Calls down a pillar of flame, burning all enemies in a selected area and inflicting additional damage every 2 sec. for 8 sec.
Frost Armor — Encases the caster in a layer of frost that lasts 30 min. The thick ice increases armor, slows melee attackers’ movement, and increases the time between their attacks.
Chilled — Movement slowed by 30% and time between attacks increased by 25%.
Quick Flame Ward — Renders an ally immune to Fire spells for 10 sec.
