Method Devastation Evoker Guide - Stats Races And Consumables

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.
