Engage it not, heroes. Let me alone be the one standing between you and the troll thread. You know what to do.

The title is a dead giveaway. I’m sure you made this thread in the best of faith.
I made this thread because I think I’m at a point where i have a good enough grasp on the spec to say its a bit op. Its good vs/with melee, its bad vs/with casters.
yea how is this a troll thread?
of every aug i’ve seen in like 1000 games this .5 patch (there’s been a LOT of them.)
this guy is easily the best ime

and he’s not wrong nor is that opinion even controversial

What’s the fix for the burst dmg? Buff dmg nerf crit? Nerf both and make aug unviable?
The title came across as intentionally baiting to start arguments. Maybe it was just a mistake and if it was, I apologize to Platypus.
unrealistic answer but yeah that would probably be the best thing for everyone else
i personally think aug damage profile is far too perfect for a deathmatch game mode
having access to peak combust damage with minimal requirements every single stun dr is pretty insane
doing basically competitive damage in most scenarios while making your partner do 20-30% more is also such an absurd advantage
it’s really confusing to me that they’d really tripled down on the idea that they want burst to be less effective and sustained to be more impactful (enhance wolves nerf, warrior colo smash nerf ect) just to let aug exist in a space where 3 globals every 30 seconds can just win the game and every other global in the other 27 seconds doesn’t matter
probably the best case scenario
there’s no real “filler” ability to buff to give aug sustained damage
it has like 3 damage sources and amping any of them would just lead to insane spikes even if they toned the other 2 down

Chaos Bolt treatment. The spell always crits, but damage is lowered. Maintains respectable damage without the possibility of RNG just ending a game arbitrarily.
They shouldn’t have burst damage. Their utility should be buffing their teammates. Remove the damage
I don’t think people would like it if they removed aug burst dmg. People would just end up playing sleep spam and prolonging the game even more.
This you fam?
Aug doesn’t contest people on damage meters outside of their opener. So yes still a true statement
You said that dismissing a hit that did 48% of an arcane mages health and killing them. As if to imply that the damage is justified because your overall damage isn’t high… as if that matters. What matters is the damage inside those CC windows. You know that, yet you still made that troll statement.
idk about that
if 2 things are ever stacked augs single target AND cleave during ebon might go up to probably top 3 global for global in the entire game
- Arcane mages should literally never die to aug
- Destro locks casting 3 bolts in a 2.5 second margin for 80% of someones hp is far more brutal.
- Upheavals average 100k dmg
Yeah, they are good into melee and bad into casters for that reason. [Ricocheting Pyroclast] needs to be removed
Aug needs nerfed. They should remove it entirely and rethink things
Nerfed how tho? Everyone is saying that but no one is giving any suggestions that aren’t completely overboard.
that seems like a really good place to start with adjusting their damage actually
bring the modifier down from 30% to 15%
buff living flame damage to compensate maybe idk
it should receive some sort of tool to make it better into wizards at the cost of ricocheting pyroclast though forsure
