Power Evoker

The Spear Evoker: Burning Precision keeps foes burning, and almost every damage trait in the build is paid for burning targets.

Fire and Air for the multipliers, the Evoker line for the familiar. It keeps its attunements — this is not the Heal Evoker's locked-in build.

Why these traits

The whole build is paid in burning. Burning Precision makes your critical hits burn; Fiery Might, Pyromancer's Training and Persisting Flames then all hand you extra strike damage for it. Galvanic Enchantment feeds the same loop from the Evoker side: after a familiar skill your next strikes arc chain lightning, and evoker chain lightning inflicts burning. Power Overwhelming and Bolt to the Heart are the flat multipliers underneath, and Raging Storm keeps fury — and so the ferocity — up.

Gear reasoning

Marauder and Dragon's under Scholar. The rune is flat power and ferocity, so every point of vitality this build has comes from the prefixes. Force on both sets is 5% damage; Impact adds 3% and another 7% against stunned or knocked-down foes, which is what your squad's crowd control is for. Bloodlust stacks power off kills, and Fireworks pays out on weapon skills with a recharge of 20 seconds or more — the Spear etchings are 25.

When not to run it

Light armour, no Stability, no blink: this bar is Arcane Echo, Glyph of Storms and Signet of Fire, and it leaves both Armor of Earth and Lightning Flash behind.

Your damage also depends on the target burning. Against a squad with heavy cleanse, or one that reaches you at all, Power Tempest (Hammer) keeps a blink and does not care whether anything is on fire.
