Classes Evoker

Indeed you are mistaken. I said the only reason to bring an evoker (not Aug specifically but seeing as how I maimed a disc priest at the time I couldn’t take pres) is their utility mainly cauterizing flame. I would invite Aug or dev (never whispered about their spec) to get that bleed dispel in addition to taking a ret paladin. Being a disc priest on waycrest manor the first boss and its bleeds are seriously difficult to push Hp bars up with. Aug doesn’t provide any utility that dev doesn’t have that is relevant from a healer pov in keys in season 3 and even more the case in season 1 of TWW

Okay and mages are the same way what’s your point. FotM players will jest reroll they don’t care so why should I be ruined because of fotm? No thanks that’s a bad take.

I mean tuning is tuning literally doesn’t matter to me, does to you as you clearly have asked for “more nerfs” and to “ruin the spec”

Utility Definition

Utility is the term for a spell or ability that has some special effect that is helpful, but usually not directly combat-oriented .

  • Cauterizing Flame
  • Expunge
  • Verdant Embrace
  • Sleep walk
  • Wing Buffet
  • Tail sweep
  • Emerald Blossom
  • Opressing Roar with Overawe
  • Landslide
  • blistering scales
  • Rescue Shield (Twin Guardian)
  • Aspects’ Favor
    • Obsidian Scale (increase HP/mini rally)
    • Hover (increase movement speed/mini stampede)
  • Bestow
  • Zephyr
  • Time spiral
  • Source of magic
    • & Potent mana
  • Spatial paradox

I might have missed a few, but this is pretty much it.

Mages don’t buff other specs. Mages only care about mages. They basically work in a silo. Aug, on the other hand, is buffing other classes b/c it’s a support spec. It skews some classes with it.

I could care less. I foresee more nerfs coming. I’ve never said “more nerfs” as you’ve stated. I said I’ll wait till they nerf it some more, there is a difference. Once Blizzard hears community players complain about Aug being in the TGP or MDI again, it’ll get another round of nerfs. At this point, Blizzard has no idea what they are doing with the spec. Their solution is to whack it with a stick. If that doesn’t work? Whack it some more.

I’m just here for the free candy (Aug tears) that fall every time they nerf it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a cynic. I have provided feedback, but, hey, let’s whack it some more see if that works.

My brother you are in a pug, getting a dps to push a defensive or kick is pushing it. Let alone pushing a non damage global.

Not to mention almost all of those are available to devestation except aspects favor and blistering scales. Stop thinking about coordinated groups.

Biggest lie of the century. Did we forget arcane intellect also buffs healers and any other int dps? That’s a huge reason they are so good.

So then when mage is in multiple MDI’s and TGP’s it’s not a problem but it is for Aug got it. Honestly bro you got some whack ideas and opinions. Aug hasn’t been mandatory for any relevant content past its initial release and nerfing. Even title doesn’t require Aug there is some notable non- meta groups in there I just watched a podcast going over them like yesterday. Nor does it currently provide anything other than 2% hp and blistering scales that dev also doesn’t provide.

Get over your Aug hate brother. If you try it you may like it. Super fun chill spec. I’ll be doing keys as it this coming expac and raid healing on the pres. It’s all looking quite fun my man give it a try.

And Aspect’s Favor isn’t even taken anymore, lmao.

Just like this dude said Dev needs timelessness for itself because he had no idea they gave massive threat changes to dev that are actually better than timelessness.

This is a slow learner we’ve got on our hands.

Sometime around 2026 he’ll realize that aug has zero effect on his +8 keys.

So because I pug my statement is invalid? Okay, roger that.

And yet players in this community want more support specs, yet they are expected not to do what a support would have to do? C’mon, make it make sense.

Players can’t want more support specs and then have no expectation to do what a support would have to do.

True, but why bring one when the other is doing better?

Aug provides primary to all specs. Sure, the arcane int buff is something else I have gripes with, but then again I have gripes with mages as well. Why don’t warriors provide a strength/agility buff for other classes instead of attack power? Why are mages so tanky when they used to be a glass cannon class?

I’d love to hear yours. I’m all ears. Please tell me how the game needs more support specs and that’ll fix the game. Go ahead.

Okay, buddy. So I’m going to need you to sign up for some timeshare down by the Florida keys. You’re going to love the beach side view.

Cool. I’ve probably watched it as well. I’ve never said it wasn’t doable. I don’t know what this proves though.

If you say, pal.

This might come as a shock but I have played it and tried it. Not fun at all. “Chill spec”? Have you played it in raids? I’m sure you have giving me pro tips. Thanks, friend.

Nice. Good luck with that. No clue what this has to with me aside from you not playing “chill spec” but i wish the best.

A bit presumptuous to say I haven’t “tried” it, isn’t it?

Listen, friendo, you seem like an okay person. WE ARE NOT GOING TO AGREE on this issue and that’s fine. You have your mind set. Kudos! I have stated my feedback for which you say said are “whack ideas and opinions.” Unless, you have feedback on how to alleviate to some of this “Aug hate” from the community that isn’t “you don’t need one,” then we have no more to talk about. Good luck healing your keys, a few dungeons seem tough on pres b/c of range. That aside, TOODALOO!

No but it’s a statement that the 2 unique Aug buffs are the only spec specific utility which won’t matter when random casts are going off and the like. 2% Stam is not why you are living or dying from unkicked bolts.

All the other benefits can be derived from any of the evoker specs which will provide more stuns (scalecommander dev)

Not blizzards fault the average M+ player can’t perform a kick, yet can parse 90% on a run.

Exactly, that’s a tuning issue not a class design issue.

Not to mention that all classes/specs can complete all content

Because then Aug isn’t mandatory and it shifts the meta from 1/1/3 tank/healer/dps to 1/1/1/2 where there is an additional support that might go better with other classes. Like a support for phys damage or magic damage, crit, etc. now aug isn’t an auto lock which you said earlier was the problem “something something pure fotm give it the feral treatment”

Feedback such as “change into something it’s not” and “delete this spec from the game” isn’t good feedback lmao.

You don’t need one in a key that’s a fact like you can’t argue that.

I mean range is just a skill issue. Those who can’t manage need to learn how to deal with the range or reroll?

We do agree that Aug should only buff dps. Like that’s so obvious. Close as clutch mates should be the buff that makes it so 2 dps is covering the 3rd spot. I also think that most classes (ie those who don’t share tank offspecs) should have 1 defensive and that’s it.

I don’t understand what you mean here.

But you do you pal. Gl out there.

No. Next question

72

People generally don’t like playing “support specs” in MMO’s, and especially in WoW where it isn’t really an established thing. A lot of people also just don’t enjoy looking at a Dracthyr (as I’ve seen many times and including myself). I wouldn’t say it’s a “failure”.

I can’t even recall the last time I seen a Dracthyr in a town. It’s time for the aug’s to rise up.

73

There are more Aug players in keys than dev currently. Why are you giving credence to their baseless/clueless statements?

Who you anecdotally “see in town” is not an actual measure of anything.

Didn’t say it did?

People run the most meta comps they can and then the people in lower keys see them running it so they want it too (insert surprised pikachu face)

75

So saying that a spec needs to “rise up” because you don’t see dracs in town wasn’t you claiming that there weren’t enough of them because you personally weren’t seeing them?

What did that statement mean, then?

76

It was a joke that flew over your horns. Now it’s time for the augs to REALLY rise up. In case that flys too high, that was also a joke. But really it IS time for the augs to rise up!

77

Ah yes, someone who can’t spell “flies” and says “I seen” is waxing intellectual.

I DO love irony.

78

Ok, and? You really are so uptight you correct grammar instead of enjoying your day? How about we settle this in a duel, you and me fellow Dracthyr. It’s time for the augs to RISE UP!

If you choose to decline this, you have no other option but to embrace the augs rising and rise with us.

79

I’m having very little difficulty doing both.

Have a good one!

80

What say you about the duel, will you duel or rise with the augs?

EDIT: WE HAVE GAINED ANOTHER AUG ON THIS DAY, AUGS RISE UP

81

I absolutely love being an Augvoker. It is so much fun, I like playing a support role and don’t mind doing less damage than other DPS specs. How boring would it be to have no variety like this?

82

Oh, the irony of this statement.

83

You haven’t even done any keys this season?

I’m 3555 and doing 17–18, I assure you, every single group has an Aug in it. Every one. I get picked immediately.

Just do a bit of research first is all
