Devastation Evoker

EvokerBUFFED

Developers’ notes: Devastation’s overall damage in M+ is slightly lower than we’d like, so we’re broadly targeting AoE abilities for buffs. We’re increasing Unbound Flame’s damage to maintain its appeal as the focus of the Apex talents. And finally, we’re increasing Shattering Star’s damage so that players talenting for their tier set can feel confident they are making a competitive character building decision. We anticipate this package giving a larger buff to Flameshaper than to Scalecommander, as we’re seeing Scalecommander outperform it in most content.

Developers’ notes: The Devastation Flameshaper build is not being utilized much compared to Scalecommander. We’re increasing the power of some Flameshaper focused spells to open up more options for them.
