And what’s your opinion on the Preservation Evoker so far? Too strong or strong but with weaknesses that the opponent can exploit?
So far I haven’t seen a Nerf thread about him except today for the first time in the German PvP Forum where someone complained about the mana and that he has to drink 10x with his druid while the Evoker doesn’t seem to go OOM.
Do you think there will be a nerf or will there be good combos that counter him, e.g. with aggressive purging.
I think he’s quite strong but not as mobile as a druid or a monk. I guess what makes him strong is his big cooldowns and the instant heals via Echo->Verdant Embrace, but VE has a 16-18 second CD.
How do you rate him compared to other healers? Personally, I wouldn’t put him above the druid, but clearly above HolyPaladin, for example.
It’s way overpowered compared to the others.
Not only are they gods of raw healing and mana is irrelevant to them.
But they are able to avoid cc for a long time unless they use the immunity straight out of the gate…
Yes they lack cc, but they’re hard to cc properly and only require one global to get their team mates back up so it’s not a huge weakness I think.
Other healers have bigger weaknesses or multiple imo.
I think they are pretty strong when they get to play, and mana definitely needs to be brought more in line, however I also see very real counterplay possibility once people learn how it functions. They are pretty weak to CC since they have no damage reduction externals they can use on people. Their main external just delays all the dmg by 70% but they still take all of it, so if you can CC them on that it’s pretty much a non factor for a lot of comps.
Also feels like rogues in particular will just love facing evokers since their step range matches your healing range, meaning you can never heal your teammates without being in their range for a swap or CC chain.
Time will tell, but they could definitely do with some mana nerfs.
Fine as they are. Perfect in my opinion. Other healers need brought up to their level with how high burst and damage is in general. Only thing I would say needs looking into is Nullifying Shroud. Maybe increase CD to 2/3 minutes?
Think they are still good on mana, think mw monk does better mana wise but not sure yet. I really need to see the season play out for 1-2 weeks and play it myself and watch some top players cempeting.
Im really wondering about how good players abuse the prevokers weaknesses with vunrable to hard swaps due to low range on heals. Rn i think they are great swap targets to kill in stun.An rmp will probably kill them in swaps with arcane mage clepto maybe.
we will see how it turns out. The mana nerf was needed due to all healer got that one.
