aug strong point has never been solo damage. And the damage attributed on logs has never been accurate.

I am retiring my Aug this season. I raid in a fun guild atmosphere that still enjoys a good AotC achievement. With the last minute changes, Infeel Aug is now completely balanced around high end Mythic runs, which I don’t have time to dedicate to, and are now a dead Albatross around the raids’s neck.
It sucks, first time I’ve enjoyed a class (even though it was bottom of the barrel DPS wise) enough to want to stick with next Raid release. But, I just can’t do that to my friends, so parked he is. And hey, I love the class but didn’t even know it existed til I came back for xpac so not like I knew thr true OP days.

Devastation damage feels laughably bad right now as well.
Womp womp.
Hopefully preservation is playable this season in keys. Our other specs won’t be taken.
Eh? Dev is slamming in my experience.
It’s not broken, definitely not bad though.

Skill issue.

Big aura buff meant for the s2 tier set.
We get to enjoy this week.
They buffed Firestorm by 40%, but I really just wish they’d make it an aura.
This won’t happen of course because it goes contrary to their design philosophy surrounding ground based AOEs.
Unfortunate.
Or even make it slowly follow like they did with Lunar Storm.
Turn a crap ability into a good one.

There’s a number of ways to make it better and another one I can think of is the cast time. Why does it have one?
It’s bad enough that it’s fixed in place but you have to cast it as well? Meanwhile, defile and RoF are instant cast. Frost mages have a cast time, but at least they bring utility with the area of effect slow.
Good grief.

Enjoy it before our lovely current tier bonuses are replaced.
Hoping we won’t be too essence starved next season.

Yeah, eternity surge losing essence burst will be a pain but, even without it and hoarded power (rip my beloved), with scalecommander hero talents, I get a lot of essence burst via bombardment.

Per the wowhead guide it looks like we’re dropping Iridescence for Imminent Destruction to help alleviate essence usage.
Alternatively in the Scalecommander tree, you could try Diverted Power instead of Extended Battle if you’re really struggling, but I dont know if thats a considerable dps loss or not.
