Pushing rating in WoW PvP? Start with the Devastation Evoker guide, grab the best PvP addons, and bind your keys so every cooldown is in reach. I hit 2849 in Blitz as a Devastation Evoker.
Where to start
Start with a clean UI
Install a few core addons first and add more only when you miss something. A cluttered screen hides the cast bars you need.
Make party frames readable
Big health bars and clear debuff icons let you react faster than any extra addon.
Bind what you press most
Your most-used buttons belong on the easiest keys. Rarely used ones can sit further away.
Learn diminishing returns
In arena and RBG, knowing when a stun or fear will be shorter changes when you should use your own crowd control.

Common questions
What rating do you play at?
I hit 2849 in Rated Battleground Blitz as a Devastation Evoker on EU-Ravencrest.
Which addons do you need for PvP?
Start with good nameplates, party frames and a cooldown tracker. The best PvP addons guide lists what I run.
Do the keybind tips work for right-handed players?
Yes. Copy the process, not the exact keys. I play left-handed, but the same ideas work on WASD.
