I MEANN if u hit only 1 person with your burst go u just take advtantage of the non soaked mass eruptions, so instead of killing with just the deep breath button, u kill wth 2 more eruptions afterwards with an aura mastery up lol.
Augs just fine guys quit yappin
Send this spec back to the gutter. Seeing wayyy too many of this cheese spec now.

Same reason we are seeing just as many rets.
Doesnât really do that anymore, itâs just Great Value Devastation now for the most part with swings on burst with a stupid talent thatâs either useless or grossly OP like right now.
They rightfully gutted a lot of the support and now they just need to make it so your hard casted abilities do damage instead of just âlmao so this one this fires like 30 eruptions at you if you get hit with one other player present. Enjoy!!!â
Yeah second set of healer cooldowns is dosgusting but hey, ret needs that!
Eh, the fast eruptions on landing can still slam for 2-3m each, giving you scary burst every minute and a half or so.
It feels awful outside of that though because blizzard made so many specs feast or famine when it came to damage modifiers.
You have cc immunity, kick immunity, slow immunity, you can pre fly a CC for immunity, and have spamable 1.3s cast time sheep. You have similar CC to a rogue considering you can spam it.
Evoker has a powerful kit, augâs issue is it either one shots with cheese or does nothing because they canât balance itâs sustain for some reason.

Yea, this is just poor decision making on behalf of Blizz. Everything except for eruption or Upheval just hit for next to nothing, they need to spread the damage out to other things like Fire Breath or Living Flame (even though that could be a problem because OP filler spells are never fun to fight).
I was more so talking about immunities like bubble, but rogue can do all of that stuff as-well if they are good at predicting cdâs (along with Aug having to hard cast literally every ability that does any damage, if we didnât have those we would be insanely counterable, which we are). Rogue has higher skill cap for the immunities but stronger ones that can also ignore damage. And yes we do have the abilitiy to spam Sleep Walk but that DRâs with a lot and you have to hard cast it on top of not having any other cc than Sleep Walk, Breath stun (which is around 1.4 min depending on Bombardment procâs) and Landslide which requires you to use 1 3 minute cd with another 2 minute cd, getting rid of your root and knock up is crazy for 1 4 second stun (a cheap shot lol).
Just interrupt and CC them during their burst lol. Itâs very predictable (they fly in the air first)

The most fun I ever had in wow pvp was abusing the scaling of a certain ability that has been removed.
Hit my âcareer highâ rating with it 
Nah not tanks
Delete aug, much better
Check out the first minute of montage,

Naw itâs here to stay
Hopefully it goes back to never being played because they gut it.

Iâve been seeing 100x more Augs lately tho. Kinda insane the level of influence streamers have.
But in my shuffles theyâve been going 1-5 or 2-4 at best. So I donât think itâll last long.

Honestly Iâd prefer they just delete it so dev / Pres are the only option.

Because montages mean so much ofc
Yea people just see the 1 shots and donât understand anything about them, pretty funny tbh
I wish they would just change things so itâs not as bursty but at the same time buffed rotational damage. Still feels like you either get lucky with burst or you are trying to sustain in between. Kinda lame imo
Yea def RNG, but blizzard doesnât see enough of them to see the problem with it and they just keep buffing it for PvE.
Yeah I totally hear you and agree. Maybe theyâll go back to the drawning board on it at some point. I like the theme just would like to see a more interesting rotation I guess. Feels weird even with a crap ton of haste (outside cds of course).
Itâll literally never happen. âDelete augâ is about as useful as taking a deep breath, making sure to push your chest and gut out to fill both your lungs, then just belting out a full-throated âREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.â In both cases, the end result is youâve made some noise and nothing else happened. Blizzard wonât delete a spec, itâs just not how theyâve ever done business. Iâve had people go âhurrr wat bout tank lock lolomg.â Well, in that example, it was never a spec, it was a glyph, and it later became basically the entire base the Vengeance DH spec is built off of. âWhat about ranged survival??â Most of what made range Surv neat is just a MM hunter thing now, it still exists (mostly), it just got moved. I could keep going, but you get the point. They simply donât delete specs.
As with the other examples so far, Aug is also getting altered - to be a regular DPS. Itâll likely keep itâs âbuffâ abilities, just nerfed to be a husk of what they originally were (thatâs already happened, actually), then itâs personal DPS will be buffed to a point to be somewhere around competitive (this partâs begun). As much as I enjoyed the playstyle, the game was never set up for support and thatâs the fact. As much as Iâd like Aug to be changed to a Tank spec, itâs way easier, way faster, and thereby way cheaper to just finish making it a bog-standard DPS.
