Rotation & Extras

Evoker's unique mechanic is the Familiar. As our F5 skill, we will be using to massively Heal allies at critical moments, while also getting a passive Heal increase buff due to . Familiar's passive skill has no Cooldown, but you must obtain six charges to use it :

  • Using any weapon skill will grants one charge.
  • Using weapon skills matching the Familiar's attunement grants two charges instead.
  • Activating this skill three times grants access to , an empowered version of the Familiar's passive skill.
