General Note

Keep in mind that many non-percentile values actually scale to the player's level. For example, at player level one, the skill level one Drain Life may give 14 HP/sec, but when player is level ten, the same level one grenade may give a lot more HP/sec instead. The same scaling effect goes for the rest of the nine skill levels.

Rate of Use: 2.0 sec
Duration: 3 sec
Description: This devastating curse unleashes its power only upon the death of the Evoker's marks, tearing through nearby enemies with unholy devastation.

Summon Ember

Required Level: 15

Prerequisits: None
Skill Type: Active
Power Cost: 20.0 (increase by level)
Power Toll: 21.0 (increase by level)
Skill Groups: Elemental
Requires: N/A
Casting Delay: Cannot move for 2 seconds after casting
Range: N/A
Rate of Use: 8.0 sec
Duration: Until death or town visit
Description: Conjures an elemental creature of fire to fight for the Evoker.
Note: It is not clear how the Ember's damaged is determined since you do not need to wield a focus item to summon it. However, the Ember's damage starts out weaker than the default bolt-attack of the focus item at the level you would acquire it. It seems to equate the damage value of lvl 19 dual-focus bolts at skill level 5.

Blink

Required Level: 20

Prerequisits: None
Skill Type: Active
Power Cost: 20.0 (increases by player level)
Skill Groups: ?
Requires: N/A
Range: 20 meters in a straight line, not perfect. See note.
Rate of Use: 20.0 sec (decreases by skill level)
Duration: N/A
Description: The Cabalist momentarily passes through the nether realm, instantly traveling several meters in our world.
Note: The game checks for obstacles in a straight line in front of you when you cast this spell. You are able to teleport through creatures, boxes, and some hills. It is not clear what the exact requirement is, but some hills and obstacles won't let you pass (need someone who has max level blink to test it out). In those situations, the blink spell will not work but cooldown does not activate so you will just need to turn around a bit and cast again.

To use blink, move in a particular direction and hit the hotkey which you have assigned to it. So to blink backwards, press S for a while and hit the hotkey. To blink left, press A for a while and then use Blink.

Firestorm

Required Level: 1

Prerequisits: None
Skill Type: Active
Power Cost: 1.7
Skill Groups: Evocation
Requires: Focus Item
Range: 8.0 meters
Rate of Use: None
Duration: ?
Description: The Evoker unleashes a barrage of fiery embers at the enemy.

Do note that the mana cost is misleading as you unleash a barrage of flame embers with a press, with each flame costing you 1.7 Power. For a demonstration of the actual Power usage, bind Firestorm to a hotkey and press it once. Effectively as a "close range shotgun" skill and can effectively take down monsters at close range.

Lightning Field

Required Level: 10

Prerequisits: None
Skill Type: Active
Power Cost: Depend on level
Skill Groups: Evocation
Requires: Focus Item
Range: 30.0 meters
Rate of Use: None
Duration: N/A
Description: The Evoker conjures a ball of lightning and hurls it into the battle, creating a field of electrical mayhem.

Lightning Field does not stack with Swarm. Shield Penetration modifies Lightning Field, making it a great weapon against snipers. Note that you the higher you aim up, the further the sphere will fly, like some sort of artillery.

Tempest

Required Level: 20

Prerequisits: Lightning Field
Skill Type: Active
Power Cost: 40.0
Skill Groups: Evocation
Requires: Focus Item
Range: 30.0 meters
Rate of Use: 20.0 sec
Duration: N/A
Description: The Evoker creates a dark cloud of doom which fires lightning at all those foolish enough to remain nearby.
Tip: Due to its fairly long cast time, Tempest is best used strategically. Cast it when there is a large group of enemies ahead (or one big tough enemy) then lure them under the Tempest and keep them there by stunning them or using a tank. Tempest can be tough to use at first, but it can be incredibly powerful if used skillfully.

You can try this combination with Blink, Arcane Shield and Tempest. Charge up towards the mob, cast Tempest and Arcane Shield to stem the tide for a while and immediately Blink backward. If a group of mobs is rushing towards you, cast Tempest and Blink backwards. Usually, you need at least 3 levels of Tempest for it to be effective.

Multiple bolts of lightning can strike a single target at the same time.

Arc Legion

Required Level: 30

Prerequisits: Lightning Field, Tempest (lvl 3)
Skill Type: Active
Power Cost: 13.0 per sec
Skill Groups: Evocation
Requires: Focus Item
Range: N/A
Rate of Use: N/A
Duration: N/A
Description: Channeling the element of lightning, the Evoker emits several electrical arcs through a Focus device. While focused on enemies, costs 13 Power per second.
Tip: Arc Legion takes a minute to scale up to full power, but you can keep it active throughout the level. It automatically targets all of the enemies within range in front of you and equally damages all of them, so be careful if you are being attacked by many healthy enemies. Arc Legion is excellent at taking down small groups or individual enemies, and clearing rooms of breakables.

Rate of Use: N/A
Duration: N/A
Description: The Evoker gathers the bones from fallen fiends and forms a vicious spear that can pierce the hides of multiple demons.
Tip: This skill does not actually require corpses to work. You can cast it at any time. Use Demonspine to stun enemies who you want to keep out of melee range, or use it in conjunction with Area Of Effect skills (such as Tempest or Lightning Field) to keep enemies in the Area of Effect zone.

Requires: Focus Item
Range: 35.0 meters
Rate of Use: N/A
Duration: N/A
Description: The Evoker unleashes a terrifying apparition created from the noxious atmosphere of the Burn.
Note: The spirit does toxic damage and has a chance to fear the target. It is able to turn 180 degrees to home in on the target it locked on to. However it moves rather slowly and dissipates when it runs into an obstacle.

Venom Armor

Required Level: 15

Prerequisits: Venomous Spirit (lvl 2)
Skill Type: Active
Power Cost: 10.4
Skill Groups: ?
Requires: Focus Item (note: Damage and elemental attack dependent on equipped Focus items)
Range: 35.0 meters
Rate of Use: 60.0 sec
Duration: N/A
Description: The Evoker draws upon the essence of the underworld, creating an armored covering of deadly poison.
Note: Scales with player level. At skill level 9, it usually equates to around 20% reduction. Venom Armor also sends a swarm of wasps to the attacker if they are around 10 meters or closer from the Evoker. The wasps do a DoT effect that stack with subsequent swarms. So enemies that deal damage over time such as field-type (AoE DoT) or a direct-constant type (lightning/drain attacks) tend to kill themselves fairly fast. In PvP, pets will also cause swarms of wasps to attack the owner of the pets.
