Relic of the Pirate Queen is also a good option but the loss of Fury makes your damage less reliable.

Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Toad Evoker is a very intense but rewarding spec based on going in and out of Earth Attunement and using a lot of CC to proc 导雷神针 图标导雷神针.

The reason for all this spamming is the new F5 skill you get with Toad : 钙化之触 图标钙化之触. An instant cast AoE Daze which will turn into 震地冲击 图标震地冲击 a 2 second Knockdown after 3 uses.

Damage

As mentionned above Crowd Control will be a huge part of your damage. 钙化之触 图标钙化之触 should be used as soon as you're in melee with enemies. It becomes available after charging it by using 6 weapon skills.

Your main sources of Crowd Control are Earth Attunement and Air Attunement.

In Earth Attunement the only way to proc 导雷神针 图标导雷神针 is 地动山摇 图标地动山摇 but it's important to remember every other time we swap into Earth Attunement the first skill we use will have its cooldown reduced by 66%. It's then recommended to quickly tap in and out of Earth Attunement to then get the cooldown recharge on 地动山摇 图标地动山摇.

You can use 大地突刺 图标大地突刺 to guarantee 地动山摇 图标地动山摇 to hit but Immobilize sadly doesn't proc 导雷神针 图标导雷神针.

大地翻腾 图标大地翻腾 also deals really high aoe damage and should be used after landing a CC. 尖刺石环 图标尖刺石环 can be used off cd for good damage.

In Air Attunement we will be looking at 2 skills to CC and high damage on the rest.

电击光环 图标电击光环 and its second activation 逆向转化闪电 图标逆向转化闪电, which you will always want to use first to be able to quickly followup with 疾风升流 图标疾风升流 as its a slower skill.

能量汇聚 图标能量汇聚 is great to use either at the start or end of this Crowd Control abilities. Meanwhile 风驰电掣 图标风驰电掣 should be kept for mobility.

Your last source of damage is Fire Attunement and it's classic combo

  1. 炽焰疾步 图标炽焰疾步
  2. 炙火之环 图标炙火之环
  3. 烈焰之攫 图标烈焰之攫

Your elite Elemental Procession also provides you with good damage. It will use every Familiar ability which for means really high damage for us as the Knockdown from Toad also deals damage because of our traits.

When charging up 钙化之触 图标钙化之触, weapon skills in Earth Attunement will count for 2 instead of 1.

Defense

You have really high Protection uptime because of 钙化之触 图标钙化之触 providing over 4 seconds of it every use.

The ability to tap in and out of Earth Attunement let us proc Stone Heart a lot. While it is active enemies hit can not crit on you. It turns any power spec almost useless into you. You get 2.5 seconds of it when entering and 1 second when leaving Earth Attunement.

Entering Earth Attunement also provides you Stability once every 5 seconds.

Water Attunement provides us with healing and cleanses. 冰封爆裂 图标冰封爆裂 and 冰霜光环 图标冰霜光环 both let you use 逆向转化冰霜 图标逆向转化冰霜 for healing. 净化水波 图标净化水波 will heal and cleanse conditions off of you.

Your utility skills are quite straight forward but a few things that are good to remember are :
