Stat Priorities
Stat Ranking
So, generally, it is always best to sim yourself to figure out what stats will be best for you; however as a basic guideline to follow, I’d recommend:
- Mastery
- Haste
- Critical Strike
- Versatility
Additionally, with how stats and gearing have developed over time, usually, Item level nets the most DPS increase, especially on pieces of main stat gear.
Stat Outline
Our mastery Giantkiller is the reason we prioritize the stat over anything else. As an evoker, you will easily be running up to near 100% mastery in their first tier, meaning we are doing nearly 100% more damage on high-health targets and during our cooldown Dragonrage.
Haste increases the rate at which your spells are cast and channeled. This is important for us as we want to extend our Dragonrage as much as possible, which can be done through a combination of talents; the more haste we have, the easier it is.
Due to the talent, Spellweaver’s Dominance, our crits do 220% increased damage instead of 200%, so it’s pretty important for us to crit to make the most out of this increased damage modifier.
Versatility is just a weaker version of our mastery. It does reduce our damage taken which is always appreciated as we have very little in the form of defensives, but generally, you don’t want to ever really be aiming for this stat unless you are really struggling to survive.
The best way to calculate stat priorities for your character is to "sim" your character

There is currently only 1 race available to evoker, and that is a Dracthyr.
Enchants
Cloak - Graceful Avoidance
Chest - Waking Stats
Wrist - Devotion of Avoidance
Weapon - Sophic Devotion
Legs - Frozen Spellthread
Rings - Devotion of Mastery (As a baseline but it’s always good practice to sim yourself and see which stat would be the best for you)
Gems
Again I advise simming to see what will be the best upgrades for yourself, but I will always recommend mastery gems as a baseline.
