Devastation Evoker
About the Class
This is a ranged DPS (though with a limited range of 25 yards) whose primary stat is Intellect. The Evoker wears mail armor and uses the magic of the five dragon Aspects in combat.
The defining feature of Devastation is the use of Empowered spells, whose power depends on how long they are channeled, along with a strong damage dependency on the target's health value thanks to Mastery.
Strengths
Huge burst damage, especially at the start of a fight.- Top-tier mobility thanks to Hover, which lets you cast while moving.
- Useful group utility: Zephyr for reducing AoE damage and Source of Magic for allied healers.
- Unique Empowered spell mechanic.
Weaknesses
Short attack range compared with other ranged casters.- Very fragile when defensive cooldowns are unavailable.
- Damage drops off as the target's health decreases (due to the Mastery mechanic).
- A rotation mistake during Dragonrage is heavily punished in DPS.

Mythic+ Tips
1
Hover is your main survival tool. It not only lets you cast on the move but also provides a dash.
2
Zephyr reduces AoE damage on the group by 20%. Use it before predictable heavy boss hits.
3
Wing Buffet and 
Tail Swipe work great as extra interrupts against mob casts.
4
Remember the 25-yard range limit. You need to stand closer to the tank than other ranged DPS so you don't fall out of range of your spells.
