I’m obviously not a top tier player, but I at least reach Duelist (Caster-Mistweaver main) every season when I commit to the game. In season 1, I played my lizard as an alt, not really tryharding the class - I managed 1900 with it early season, and I was mostly pleased with that result.
This season though?
I bought my Honor Gear, jump into solo shuffle and…lost 0-18. Lmao. I didn’t win a single game at 1400 MMR. Ouch.
I managed to get some gear since then, got my tier set as well, and I’ve won some games. It’s getting better, but I’m not anywhere near the level I feel like I “deserve” if that makes sense?
That’s my winrate right now: https://i.imgur.com/jQoyuRw.png
Am I really that bad at Evoker, or is this specialization just awful right now?
I’ll take any tips.
Well, surely there are lines of improvement to follow if 0-18 on 1400 is the score, but I will also say that up until last reset (I haven’t played since reset) I saw very, very few PEvokers in Shuffle regardless of the rating. Usually specs that aren’t played aren’t played because they are not good.
Yes, it’s getting better since I got the 2P tier set. My last game yesterday was 6-0, but again, that was at 1350 MMR.
I’m also doing better in 2s than in shuffle.
I think it’s because Prevoker is meant to be played offensively, but I can’t do that in shuffle because the healing throughput is already garbage as is, and dampening makes it so much worse.
People’s HP bars just don’t move up.
Its probably one of the fewer represented healers, its not unplayable by any mean. But through this expansion I would be lying if I did not say I firmly believe in terms of healing through dampening it suffers a good bit and it feels like your only real off-button for damage is time dilation.
Rewind is a meme and more for pve and emerald communion was buggy for the first half of the expan and only heals one person unless you somehow pre-cast verdant embrace to spread the ability to aoe heal.
Prevoker is by far the hardest healer to play. It’s a lot about decision making and finding windows to deal damage. You won’t win with just healing. You also lack some good CDs so you have to compensate with HPS. It also has a lot of little mechanics like cancelaura Stasis (it doesn’t dispel anymore but is off gcd and can be used while silenced). I have a friend who plays it and he truely wants to master it. Playing with his Prevoker feels great but any random Prevoker feels terrible. Imo it’s underrated by many but there aren’t many people who play it even close to full potential.
Pretty much. I remember I tried Prevoker myself and struggled with it last season. Then he asked if we want to play some alt games for fun as he mained H Priest last season. Suddenly guy was doing insane HPS and damage. This season he does either on par or more than Disc. You kinda have to do this to be mana efficient and that’s how you create advantage.
Pres has a lot of issues that nobody addresses because the spec is rare.
It’s very hard to win with right now.
Best advice is try probably to use Stasis the best u can and do big value Rescue around pillars, Rescue is insanely strong if used properly, and probably get as many Sleepwalks as u possibly can and interrupts on enemy healer. Prevoker is kind of like Resto Sham, u win via using ur good utility instead of winning because of afk pve healing
