Vague posts are vague.
Rejoice, Blizzard buffed healers by 20% this patch
Because it’s vague. Literally said:
Maybe calm down and stop defending your alt or your bestie. Miscommunication happens. I’m not the one who got insulting. Stop trying to be part of a conversation you weren’t even part of to begin with.
Goodbye.
There is nothing vague about saying ebon might is free hps.
When it is… free hps. Anyone with a brain could put 2 and 2 together to know they were talking about the healer when also mentioning tank survivability and the fact augs don’t heal.
You then misread it and assumed that they meant you were healing, which was wrong, and pulled the typical rhielle garbage of doubling down on being wrong.
What I’m hearing is that augmentation evoker is in dire need of buffs. Ebon might offers no dps.
I thought the meta of wow raiding was just to make the dps feel better about themselves. Either way, do you want support classes to go back to waiting outside of sunwell. Asking for a friend.
A lot of players just don’t understand how support works. But it’s mostly Blizzard’s fault for trying to implement this nearly two decades later with only one spec.
Apparently casting ebon might stops you from healing as an aug???
Atleast according to this completely misinformed and delusional dragon posting here.
I haven’t read the other replies to this comment yet but I assume they are all calling you completely clueless. Augmentation is practically essential for high keys. They are doing extremely competitive damage and providing an insane amount of utility to the group.
Even WCL isn’t fully capturing their damage yet as many combat hooks are still bugged like for many DOTs, Pets, and other things not getting attributed.
Aug is making +23 keys feel like easy weekly +20s.
The only thing people think in this game is dps. Thats why theres so few heals an tanks. Nobody wants to to have responsibility just run in hit things an stand in swirls an die then blame tank an heals cause dps are are about as dumb as you can get in this game.
Tanks, healers, and DPS are required for every piece of content. Why not support? They just need to add like 4 more support specs to hybrid classes or whatever and boom, solved.
I am for keeping it. It’s funny that it scales so well you can do 13 million damage in a raid stacked with them and a few other DPS.
friendly fire doesn’t exist in wow.
And that’s why Aug needs to be nerfed AND reworked. One class shouldn’t be mathematically this much better than others. If it makes 23s feel like 20s, that’s a big problem. I don’t know why people don’t understand this. You have to balance the classes. Having 1 class way better than others is terrible for an MMO.
Tbh I’m glad I got my portals done week 2 and didn’t push this season. Having to deal with fotm scrubs and Aug beggars in lfg would be a nightmare.
Thankfully you’re not designing the game because stacking 1 class in raid and getting R1 parses by 1000% + 15 second boss kills is the death of raiding.
A game is ment to have fun who cares besides the top 1% of raiders that have to track there parses on an external website not designed by the game developers.
The problem is their design makes them bring so much OP utility outside of all the buffing that it makes them mandatory in any serious content, so either they need to be significantly nerfed to the point that it’s an actual choice between a support evoker or any of the other DPS classes when choosing what to bring which would in essence kill the Aug spec anyways or blizzard would need to make dungeons 6 man groups instead of 5 and have a dedicated alot for support specs if they plan on adding more.
As it stands now they really just don’t fit in well with the games design and are so brokenly OP that you’re only left with 2 slots for the vast majority of other DPS specs which is pretty bad design when they make up like 80% of the overall games population.
I mean they’re a hybrid spec you can argue they throw it from range before engaging…or disengaging to throw them then re engage. If we’re going that route, why can you heal fire elemental with your water spells? using lightning in healing doesn’t damage friendlies? healing yourself with lightning shield on? there’s a bunch of inconsistencies that don’t make any sense if you’re looking at it like that lol.
I’m loving them in keys and the one raid I did it with them in it.
I ran a heroic raid last night with some well below average players. But because myself, and a well geared lock and Druid were in the group with an Aug Evoker we were able to carry the raid super hard.
There are a lot of people that are not the most skilled players at pushing buttons, and Aug Evokers can help them keep a raid slot.
Aug Evokers are going to really help the small casual guilds clear content. They are like sticking a huge big block engine in a crappy Toyota Corolla.
I don’t see a problem with supports being a very strong addition to the party. I will echo the sentiment that we need more support specs if it’s going to be a mainstay, though.
Ideally next EXP gives us a straight up support centric class with 2 support specs and one DPS or healer spec. Like the bard I’ve been wanting since I was 16.
Change augmentation into a disc priest style.
they have to nerf it to the ground cuz raids are completely broken rn and bosses are dying in 20 seconds.
