Aug + keys

At what stage does Aug start to actually carry their own weight in m+

I’ve got a Priest and Evoker to round out all the classes at 90 and I’d like to give Aug a try. But I do know that they also require your teammates to do well, to be reflected in your buff (and thus your dps).

But at some points, the overall damage of the group is so low it isn’t worth it.

It depends what your goals are and skill level. My opinion, aug starts to become decent in higher keys (18+ in my experience) when enemies survive longer because it gives you time to ramp for bombardment spreading.

I just dont want to be a detriment to the group

Every Aug up to 16s ive played with would have been better served taking any other DPS

And i know a lot of that is mediocre players swapping to meta spec

This ascribes skill to people that might not have it, so it can’t be true.

Thing with aug is there’s a surprising amount of complexity that seperates a good player from a great one. Being able to spread and maintain 3 or sometimes 4 bombardments in a perfect scenario could get your breath of eons back in 20-30 seconds. Its an astronomical dps difference.

If you’re interested in trying that I’d recommend looking up a video on it as it requires clever usage of mechanics.

Note that this won’t be possible come next patch due to wingleader changes, assuming it doesn’t get changed again prior to release.
