For me it’s a few different things:
Rescuing someone from a mechanic I know their class has no way to deal with like Magmorax’s knockback. I think every time he does it and I rescue someone who can’t somehow resist the push, I hear in voice chat “oh sweet, ty.”
Or even something as simple as a fat Tip the Scales - > Fire Breath and all hits crit (or almost all) it feels very satisfying
Another thing that really helps me enjoy this class so much is using Soar, part of why I loved druid so much is that YOU were the mount. It was just great. With Evoker it’s even more impactful I feel since nothing about you changes, you just jump into the air and start flying - it’s delightful!
Finally it’s the exceptionally unique utility in the form of things like Zephyr and Time Spiral. Specifically Time Spiral which if you line it up on a boss encounter just right is exceptionally useful. Time Spiral is so good im surprised it’s on such a low CD.
These are some of the things that make me enjoy Evoker tremendously, what about you?

I actually love the ideas behind making a dragon playable but not having the obvious issues with being able to play a dragon. Like being way too big or too strong and stuff like that.
For the most part I really (came to) like the Draktyr model, even with using the worgen rig its still something completely new and it just feels awesome to play this l̶i̶z̶a̶r̶d̶ dragon like character.
Both Augmentation and Devastation feel fun to play and I’m looking forward to try the hero specs.
Hover and Soar are also some of my favourite spells / animations and are super amazing to use.
Could a lot of things be done better? Sure! But at the end of the day, I still love to play my Draktyr and will probably keep him until they eventually add a tinker class (since that would be my most desired class ever since always).
Until then I will use every beta / alpha / PTR to give daily feedback on what I think (and usually what most other people think) should be changed in terms of QoL aswell as fun so we can improve our Draktyr even further.

The low APM and gameplay flow of devastation. I also would by lying if i said it wasn’t really fun to look at all the scintillation procs.
Preservation is also one of my favorite healing specs i’ve ever played.

Probably Soar/Dragon Riding is the biggest aspect.

At first I played it because it was new and then I fell in love with preservation. I get to breathe on people to make them feel better.
dragon
uhhhh for something evoker specific uhhhhh I like the wing flapping animation on hover.
I’ve always liked dragons lmao
They are playable dragons;
I like the feeling of playing as an evoker;
I like the gameplay;
I like the shape shift between dracthyr and visage, it looks much more imposing in combat, and more friendly out of combat;
I like to fly through battle, whether with Hover or Deep Breath;
I like the customizations (although this could be better, release the dracthyr transmog);
although many hate it, I like having a smaller range (for me, this makes the battle more immersive);
I like how the class is simple and I don’t have to manage DOTs. I also play SPriest, and sometimes it’s tiring;
I like Empored Spells.

I love dragons and evoker scratches the itch as much as possible in wow.
Plus devastation is such a simple spec to play (i dont meta mind you).
I like classes that let me play without using brain cells and still feel awesome doing it.

We need more of these. So many specs in the game now are spammy nightmares, designed to make your hands cramp in a few minutes. It would be nice to have more options for slower gameplay.

Assassination rogue used to be this and it was my favorite spec to play in BFA. Rogue as a whole is too bloated now.

There are a few reasons.
I love soar over mounts.
I like my Dracthyr, not at first but I do want some more options. Idk why anyone would use the race for other classes though.
As for gameplay, I enjoy the simple rotation and low apm playstyle. I used to love high APM classes but I got carpel tunnel for a lil a few years ago from playing Outlaw and Fury and now I just prefer abilities having more of an impact rather than spamming weak attacks.
I’m a huge fan of the breath attacks, Azure Strike is also a fun to use filler for killing weak mobs without needing to cast. Pyro with volatility is also really fun to use when it bounces all over a ton of mobs in a dungeon.
The mobility on top of the rest of the kit is what seels the feel for me. I could never get too much enjoyment out of the other casters and the way Evoker works just clicks with me even more than the modern Hunter specs. Hover feels great to use, I just wish rescue would pick up the closest ally if you don’t click someone as I’m slow at clicking other players in high stress situations.
Another less important thing I enjoy is the sound of the attacks. I love my Pally but I hate the sounds for most spells. Evoker spells sound right and don’t bother me even after playing for hours.

Only race with a static mastery but.
Incredibly strong cc racials delivering on how they/if they change them for non evokers (they likely will).
True.
They lose nearly all the cool factor though as a race without the Evoker dragon like stuff.
I completely forgot about racial spells for a moment there as they are tied into the Evoker talent tree. Will be an odd situation and kinda OP I would think.
It’s going to be annoying fighting a good Dracthyr Rogue that has two extra ways to interrupt you.
I like the mobility. Zipping around the battle field is fun
I also love disintegrate. Nuking someone into the ground while flying with a magic welding beam is really amusing. The animations for it are awesome. I love the stance the dracthyr have while channeling it.
Additionally I really like the Dracthyr’s appearance. Theyre so customizable and they look really good if you can find a decent transmog. It’s difficult but you can. I modeled mine after a storm dragon and love it
Edit: I’m also super excited about the Scale commander talents and being able to disintegrate 3 targets at once. It’ll be so cool

The sound effects on evoker are honestly 10/10.
The essence burst proc sound is new to me and that is really satisfying. But hearing a devoker popping dragon rage and lust is kind of scary
I love preservation, fun to heal with. And soar is amazing now.
Are you hurt? Let me throw healing fire at you.
