There’s no “or”. They need to delete Aug. Or turn it into a “support” spec like Enhancement Shaman is a “support” spec.
Blizzard’s low-IQ developers were already in way over their heads with game design, even BEFORE aug was added.

Players should stop trying to mimic MDI teams. Every spec is viable in the game through the highest levels required for loot, and probably portals (since it’s not much higher). Anything beyond that is eventually going to be very small group, rigid compositions – and there’s nothing wrong with that.
“Meta” is a player-created, and player-driven problem. You can blame devs for balancing issues, but not at the level of gameplay that most complaints are aimed.

Best idea I’ve seen in a while.
Yup, If they wanted to add a role they needed to add it to the game, not a class.
Typically break the meta teams end up timing keys about 2 levels below max keys.
And that is a full party of 5 non-meta.

Now the solution is to remove the instant cd on cast of spells from mobs to keep casting forever… it will be a nightmare any mob caster for groups without high number of interrupts
This would require them to not give up on balancing 1/4 to 1/2 though expacs.
Sadly, this is what they do, and then sell you the balance next expac.
See: VDH nerfs…in TWW.
You could ask this for like every spec in the game. For some reason every spec needs 460046064 forms of CC, which completely ruins PvP.
Augmentation Evoker should have never been added to the game.
You add a new role, mid expac, to a single new class, on a single new race.
…what are you even thinking? Is this some kids make a wish?
at what level does this start happening? i haven’t seen it yet.

assuming you’re not talking about bleeding edge keys, this is a giant line of hooey.

It’s silly how they push esports but forget to balance to avoid meta groups. For esports to succeed you need viewers but I can’t imagine it fun to watch the same comp duking it out.

it’s possible they care a lot less about esports than you think they do

It would be more entertaining if blizzard added a rule where competing groups have to utilize all available race/class combos and cannot stick to the same one every run.

Sounds kind of like Challenge Rifts from D3 where you have a preset class and skills and gear for a certain greater rift level.
I’d be ok with a week of madness: you enter the dungeon and put in the key, but when the curtain drops you may…
- Be in another dungeon
- Be in a different role (holy Paladin not Prot
) - Completely different talent choices
- You keep your gear load out.

There’s always going to be a meta comp, its just a bit bad when the god comp has that much of a percentage of mythics ran.
I know metaslaving might mean the balance isn’t quite as bad as the numbers suggest, but also hot damn, mix it up a bit

Something to shake it up a little. It’s so mind numbingly boring to watch. Watching other people fish is more stimulating.

If you cant get into a group as a ret pally its because they already have 1-2.
Ret pallies are like…the number 1 spec in m+ for keys 10+. Out of all roles.
Very few people play m+ at a level where playing non meta is a liability.

And when I last checked the top keys, it was a ret who was the first non-meta class (key number 70 or something). Ret’s can crank right now
This was about a week or so ago.

They push esports because they see $$$ phat stacks $$$$.
They don’t actually know how to make money off it.
No it’s not, they have literally turned every form of end game in WoW into an esport.
They have pushed esports in all of their games, and ruined every single one by doing so.
The president of Blizzard is the former CoD esports person.
They only care about esports.
