Augmentation Evoker currently one shotting entire teams in Solo Shuffle/Arena by abusing eruption bug

Eruption is currently not only hitting harder than it should (not splitting damage) but its also hitting way more often than it should. An aug casting eruption once is able to hit 15+ times from one cast, each doing 1m-2m damage each.

Its likely from the 2pc tier set. This is clearly unintended, and aug can do upwards of 30m+ damage in one global to the entire team.

Until this is fixed. I will be making a thread here and in the bug report forums.

Thought it was just people stacking and getting hit with https://www.wowhead.com/spell=410260/overlord

I thought the 2pc was casting upheaval.

You don’t take breath of eons and take regular deep breath. If you get a fire breath off first, it makes your next eruption put the bombardment debuff up. So they deep breath, it pops off upheaval that does 50% damage in pvp, then hits 2x times for 30 % of that 50 % ( from a talent) ( also not sure if you’re stacked that the upheaval on each player will space to others). They also have a talent that will fire up to 3 eruptions when you hit people with deep breath ( triggering bombardments debuff), while deep breath also does damage initially and a big dot.

Am I fried or is aug just a press on their 2 min go type of spec

Like don’t get me wrong this dmg potential seems too high but it’s mostly all they have, right

also cast cc at them after they fire breath or upheaval to delay the big eruptions. Also slightly less than 2 min go spec cause of timeskip

Knowing Blizz they BDK it and nerf it by half in a few weeks or something so dragons better get their shuffle pushies in

From what I can tell by playing it yes but less than 2 min with time skip. Like 1.5. Still it’s just do the setup (ebon+fire breath up) then deep breath. If people are stacked it deletes them, if not its a bit more meh. Seems like a Shadowlands weakauras check but I’m also completely on board with deleting the spec with big nerfs again.

Yes and no. The two min cd with deep breath is huge with the insta procs of erupt and hero, but just basic ebon might with a big fire breath can still produce some big damage with essence burst eruptions.

Let’s q blood dk / aug / x - needs a creative name

I mean the 2p for aug is literal dogwater for the most part just meter pad dmg its all about stacking procs/dmg amps on eruption you fly over then spend your 2 empower spell eruptions for 5mil just dont stack vs aug and respec their min 15 cd window

Yeah because he was the first one hit and they’re all grouped so it nukes. The first fly over target should get hit 3 times with eruption, plus whatever bombardments drop.

Go to the feedback system in game. DO it there and they may actually see it.

My favorite is the obvious reroll who pasted the spec off drustvar and does 300-400k dps with it.

…it’s time to roll the dice :game_die: :game_die:

It’s def splitting dam and the 2pc has nothing to do with eruption

Man, blizzard was right that aug/bard/support specs were such bad ideas XD

It’s just another dps spec now.

They may as well give them a crit version of PI and call it good.

Ok so had to give it a whirl and my god is it broken

1 minute big goes, 30s baby goes.

Aug is happy in 2 target cleave moments, hates pet classes.

The problem with aug is that if you just try not to lose into its breath windows, it really isn’t that threatening. You could play dev and have the same breath windows, but also constantly do top damage all game. 3s atm is a lot about what you do during the game and then capitalize in your burst windows, and aug really only has the burst windows.

It’ll abuse bad players, but won’t beat good players ( esp vs rdruids and eles)

Ah, so thats why theres an aug at 2400 with Cdew where the aug one shots the enemy team full of other r1 players.
