The Dracthyr hero class – a mail-wearing caster that channels draconic magic, with an empower mechanic and a unique support spec.

Updated 30 October 2026Checked for patch 12.1.52 sources

Evokers are Dracthyr, dragon-like beings who wield the magic of the five Dragonflights. They're casters in mail armor, with a shorter attack range than other casters and a distinctive empower system: you hold down certain spells to charge them up for more power.

Specializations

  • Devastation (ranged DPS) – fire and arcane breath attacks with big burst damage.
  • Preservation (healer) – strong group healing with powerful empowered spells and time magic.
  • Augmentation (support DPS) – a unique spec that boosts the damage of your allies while dealing damage of its own.

How it plays

Evokers spend Essence, a resource that regenerates over time, alongside Mana. Empowered spells reward good timing. Their Soar and Hover abilities let them glide and stay mobile while casting.

Who it suits

  • Players who want a caster that feels different from the classic mage style.
  • Fans of dragons.
  • Healers looking for a powerful, mobile option, and group players who enjoy a support role.
