As a day two preservation evoker thank you so much for this video especially showing that the dream breath hits behind you pretty largely , i would have never figured that out myself
You can always try to take off some of ur armor and challenge yourself in normals/heroics lol Ik it’s not even close to the same as mythic plus but it’s something I’ve been trying to get some extra practice
Thank you SO much for this video! Positioning has been the more difficult part of learning Evoker for me so this helps a lot. I had no idea dreambreath works outside of the visual lines like that, especially behind you! That's so handy to know.
Great video as usual Bowser! I appreciate the explanation on "cashing out" after waiting for combos, as I think that's something a lot of people struggle to understand when it comes to Preservation cooldown management.
Yeah, its tough out there for a Preservation sometimes (with randos being so far away). All I wanna do is breath on the DPS to keep them safe but sometimes its like they actively want to die. But by then its an easy decision for me. Enjoy your run back from the graveyard /shrug oh, side note: a fun combo I like to do. Verdant Embrace -> Stasis -> Temporal Anomaly -> Dream Breath (now that it's been buffed because of the VE) -> Spiritbloom.
I will be playing resto shamam as my main as I have in DF atleast for prog with my guild. BUT, thanks to you I got the courage to try out preservation and OMG. I usually play all healers to some degree except holy paladin. Giving evoker a try cursed me. No other healer feels this fun for me to play. Now I feel guilty when playing my shammy main or any other healer alt. I just wanna go back to evoker every single time. For this reason I both love and hate the fact that I found your channel. Thank you a lot! Looking forward to all the content :D
did a 7+ and man it was a scary experience thanks for this video it's helping me so much !! letting the team know group in or die seems to work 80% of the time lmao XD
Been playing preservation since they came out and it's so reassuring to know that I was already doing most of these 😅 some great tips! Thanks for the video 😄
Loving Pres Evoker. I am maining it for both PVE and PVP (especially that we don't need sparks for it). Love your content and I've been a goated pres evoker cause of it
first time playing wow since legion and came here searching for guides because i was struggling clearly explained, great video and with that said i'm rerolling! this is combo and positioning stuff is NOT for me o7
Great video man, love the visuals for the range the heal actually has! Do you use click casting with an adddon or just hover over them and press a button?
Boss fights like the last boss of Tirna Scithe and The Stonevault have been the bane of my existence as a Pres 😭. I find a lot of ranged players just don't understand our struggle and refuse to accommodate. At least in the lower keys I've been doing. Several times I've had them go in the complete opposite end from me or when I try to adjust, end up going behind me or something. I love Pres, definitely one of my favourite healers, but people unfamiliar with Pres healing make it difficult lol.
incredible that bowser only has 12K subscribers! his content like this one where he goes into the more nuanced stuff about healing is something you will not see on other channels!
Evoker healer is super fun to play. It can take some time to learn and understand it spachaly with the lower reng if you use to healers with more but when you understand more of it its alot of fun. I made a evoker cose the class look so dume but the more i learned the more i loved it now its my fave class😂 i still kinda shit att it
It will burn the TA combo, so the VE will heal and cash out the TA echos. Now this isn't a horrible idea, esp with our tier set if you have 4 stacks of temporal compression this is totally fine. But double powered up dream breath is still roughly 1.5x stronger than a normal breath. Not the worst, not the best but will certainly get the job done sometime. HOWEVER! Latency sometimes but mostly distance are important. If you TA and instant VE yourself, sometimes it wont burn the recently applied echoes. Which means the only person who doesn't get a double is you... but you can just echo yourself! This can be unreliable, but if it fails you just do the exact combo you said instead! The latency timing I never really got to work for me in DF. But since beta (not alpha though) I have been able to make it happen more often. I wonder if there is a small lockout on a recently applied echo? But I hope this helped!
At 8:58 you say essence burst can help you with cleaving heal. What exactly do you mean by this? What is the ability you'd use with the essence burst to cleave heal?
A full echo! Because echo is an essence ability! So let’s say you sent out a leaping flames living flame, got an essence burst. Or you did a combo with TA and living flame or reversion. And then some damage came in, but you can echo one injured target and heal the second. Now it cost no mana and no essence because of the essence burst. Echo sets up easy cleave heals is all!
Would you say you should always have CoY applied before casting DB? Sometimes I'm setting up something else with my TA, but as soon as I've cast it I might realize I really should get DB out here, but it's too late to apply CoY. Should I just focus on preparing the CoY+DB better or would you still be fine with casting it on the half echoes in that situation?
So many factors here. If you don’t need VE for anything else yes! Stronger dream breaths especially for flame shaper! But sometimes you don’t have time or need something rolling now. Depends on your talents but it’s fine. For bigger heal checks you def want to prep one! There are times I forget and I can still make the heal check happen even on beta when we were undergeared. So when you can, yes! If you need VE to cleave heal and then have a sad TA DB? It’s okay, but during like a real bad pulsing aoe phase always try and prep one!
@@Bowserthehealer Much appreciated! Feels like a no brainer reading it but it's just one of those many niche situations I find myself in as an inexperienced pres evoker so it's good to get some perspective.
Hi Bowser, was wondering about this Dream Breath targets highlighting, is that an addon? I can't find it in the base UI and settings, nor does it google.
You can play as good as you want, if the team doesnt play around you or cant at certain times you are doomed. Love the concept of the class but this dependency of your teammates to stack up is a dealbreaker for me. Also the need to actually weave your spells in the right order or nothing happens, is stressful at some times
As an evoker main, I cant stand grouping with hunters in pugs purely because they are always 45 yards from the pack. I have to spec rescue and spam it until they get the memo
Wait can you explain more? I’m having zero issues with damage on monk but it does hit less hard. Imagine if the highest HPS spec (mist) was also damaging as much as Pres lol. It’s probably for balance that mist hpal and disc hit less hard. But I do think mist needs a little more damage!
I came back to wow in late dragonflight and thot dam thay look so stuip but fuck it i gona try to make one. When i started it felt very boring but then i started understand the class more i learned more combos then found your youtube and learned even more. and now pres evoker is my fave class to play😂 its so unic and fun healer but still dont like the other 2 specs 😂
Tbf there is nothing hard with Evoker. You only need to understand how the healing works and the rest is about the positioning of your team, not really yours.
Big agree, but I would say nothing hard. I’ve had a lot of new players struggle at first. But once you get it, it flows so nicely and is much easier than when you started for sure!

Wish we had more content to effectively practice these principles right now but it's letting me get some more alts ready for some variety
You can always try to take off some of ur armor and challenge yourself in normals/heroics lol

Step 1 : queue up for every m0 or m+2 you can.
Step 2 : brick their key
Step 3 : repeat until you dont brick.

It's always the Boomkin and Warlocks for me >:( You're getting rescued into range aevery time buddy
This has been incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!

The stasis combo stuff was insane. Great guide!!
i have been using this character wrong. damn good guide. earned a sub
I never understood the “range issue” as devastation. I see the struggle now as preservation, I like the suggestion to rescue them in
Dev I never notice it until it’s PvP lol. Rescue is my best friend
Loving Pres Evoker. I am maining it for both PVE and PVP (especially that we don't need sparks for it). Love your content and I've been a goated pres evoker cause of it
Just got evoker to 80 never played preservation before been trying it out helpful tips with the combos understanding how and what goes together!
first time playing wow since legion and came here searching for guides because i was struggling
clearly explained, great video
and with that said i'm rerolling! this is combo and positioning stuff is NOT for me o7
Really helpful and well put together vid 👊🏼
Great video man, love the visuals for the range the heal actually has! Do you use click casting with an adddon or just hover over them and press a button?
Bowser awsome job!! Please make a raid guide, we have so many builds for raid and im feeling lost what to start this season
I'm a simple man: I see a Bowser video, I press like. ❤
Boss fights like the last boss of Tirna Scithe and The Stonevault have been the bane of my existence as a Pres 😭.

U the best explainer for evoker i ever see. ❤ new to evoker after my rank1 druid is dead this Season :(
Evoker healer is super fun to play. It can take some time to learn and understand it spachaly with the lower reng if you use to healers with more but when you understand more of it its alot of fun.

Hello,thank you for the content!! Where the dummies are located to practice your combos? Thanks
What about TA->VE(CoY+Life bind)->Dream Breath vs VE->Dream Breath?
It will burn the TA combo, so the VE will heal and cash out the TA echos. Now this isn't a horrible idea, esp with our tier set if you have 4 stacks of temporal compression this is totally fine. But double powered up dream breath is still roughly 1.5x stronger than a normal breath. Not the worst, not the best but will certainly get the job done sometime. HOWEVER!

The latency timing I never really got to work for me in DF. But since beta (not alpha though) I have been able to make it happen more often. I wonder if there is a small lockout on a recently applied echo? But I hope this helped!
I just like to listen to Bowser talks about World of Warcraft.
At 8:58 you say essence burst can help you with cleaving heal. What exactly do you mean by this? What is the ability you'd use with the essence burst to cleave heal?

Hi Bowser, was wondering about this Dream Breath targets highlighting, is that an addon? I can't find it in the base UI and settings, nor does it google.
Awesome video thanks
Is there anywhere I can snag your plater profile? It's perfect
You can play as good as you want, if the team doesnt play around you or cant at certain times you are doomed.
Love the concept of the class but this dependency of your teammates to stack up is a dealbreaker for me.
Also the need to actually weave your spells in the right order or nothing happens, is stressful at some times
How did you manage to show the ecoed dream breath on party frame? I never been able to find a spell ID for it.
I agree with the part of telling them to moving or die 😂😂😂
It’s simple.
Said Phil Jackson to MJ and Pippen about triangle offense 😂
As an evoker main, I cant stand grouping with hunters in pugs purely because they are always 45 yards from the pack. I have to spec rescue and spam it until they get the memo
hey can i know what addon is the circle around the mouse arrow ?
It’s a weakaura, ultimate mouse cursor! Wago. Io website will have it very easy to look up!
Name of the addon above your details pls?
The work i have to do as fistweaver monk just to do one moves worth of damage for pres is criminal 😭
Wait can you explain more? I’m having zero issues with damage on monk but it does hit less hard. Imagine if the highest HPS spec (mist) was also damaging as much as Pres lol. It’s probably for balance that mist hpal and disc hit less hard. But I do think mist needs a little more damage!
was TA nerfed? mine is 30seconds
ignore, i was flameshaper

it is not your positioning, it is dps's positioning, how many times u see bm hunters and boomies who always try to max range each other lol.
Thats when you need to threaten their lifebars :3
The biggest part I find is them. Not you. You cast the spell and they move out. Ugh
when they change the range of evoker spells Im relloling next day
Range is one of the main reasons i hate to play preservation
Tbf there is nothing hard with Evoker. You only need to understand how the healing works and the rest is about the positioning of your team, not really yours.
