I dislike the support role as well

Augvoker needs the other 4 players to be really good to function. If you have three good players and one mediocre player, Augvoker will perform worse than any other spec played well and if the tank isnât a bear to double-dip on the armor bonus from scales, itâs defensive power is lower impact as well.
Then i would say make Aug a pure dps class. Otherwise makes no sense.
I wouldnât be so sure. Take first boss of Neltharionâs Lair on tyrannical weeks. In 23-24, even having killed all of the adds, the unavoidable shout damage leaves me a sliver of life without a defensive. As the keys get higher, it takes longer to kill that boss, and I will reach a point, probably in 25-26 where Iâll be completely out of defensives.
Thatâs where the group buffs come in. Without the DR that some classes bring, I will not survive. Since I donât bring any DR on my own, Iâm hard-capped unless I find some really nice people who will play with me anyway. The best mistweaver in the world only has a 27 tyrannical NL timed.
Thatâs still good enough for her to make the title cutoff, so this is okay. I guess my point is that thereâs a reason the meta is what it is. There will always be a meta.
This is true, but the meta this season is egregious in a way that other seasons have not been. And Aug existing makes it all worse, because thereâs no competition for that spot.

I agree that this season is terrible. My friend plays augvoker, and heâs really good at it. Selfishly, I love running keys with him. He makes the entire group better and reduces my stress levels in a huge way. Realistically though, augvoker is a huge outlier and something needs to be done. Either augvoker is good and therefore mandatory, or is bad and therefore is dead. I canât think of any other class that has such a hard-edged binary.
They need to either A. add a support slot to mythic plus, or B. start making a bunch of other support specializations (or C. both) because having one DPS slot locked to one specialization is terrible for the future of m+.
I really like the concept for evokers. I got mine to 445 and got all the portals, played all 3 specs. I just couldnât get into it gameplay wise. I feel like they really doubled down on making it more complicated than it has to be.
But yeah. Aug broke m+ this season and it doesnât look like next season will be any different.
If you going to make a class almsot mandatory, then we have a problem dont we? As it is now, higher key groups always take one. I just dont think its a great idea to create ONE class that everyone needs.

I just went ahead and geared up a Holy Paladin. Theyâre truly insanely overpowered.
For this week, yes I would say you need a priest and every single group will want one as long as bursting is an affix. Check out the solid line of white for example: https://mplus.subcreation.net/compositions-tyrannical-entangling-bursting.html
Theyâre dps here but if you have a priest healer you can get away with no spriest.
Not really. SoTR just has good cleave and Autumn makes the Fire Mage more powerful.
It just feels that way coming from a priest.

Sad time for Holy Priest mains :\
True. Resto Druids are still paying for BfA, but some hope remains for the next patch. Maybe yâallâs penance 
will be done for Shadowlands by 12.0.

Okay buddy, donât bother showing logs for high keys or anything just say some stuff about the seasons buff and spender. They donât even have the best dmg anymore but remain insanely OP. lol
Theyâre not OP though. OP would be completely outclassing other healers in HPS, CDs, and DPS. Which it doesnât.
Does it function the best with Exodia? Yes.
Youâve got a funny definition of just how strong a class has to be in order to be overpowered. Thatâs⌠a lot.
It does really well in Exodia because of how it props up Fmage. Thatâs really it. Itâs also all that Aug and Spriest do for that matter too, prop up the Fmage.
None of these specs dominate anywhere else. The way they uniquely work together in the 5 man mode of M+ is incredibly powerful, but none of the classes are exceptionally above anything else by themselves.
They donât dominate Raid or PVP, for example.
Aug shows as âvastly brokenâ on WCLogs but I personally think its silly as over half the damage Augs have in their 100 parses is on Breath of Eons, which is entirely dependent on group DPS.
