Poor Aug Evo

I did a key with a 2600 Aug the other day. They do exist still!

I don’t miss aug meta but it’s a shame they aren’t even worth playing to most anymore.

I guess if you are playing with a 2600 aug that means they are probably getting by. I personally didn’t enjoy the key level being +3 levels harder as a healer because the group didn’t have an aug, what they did to an otherwise great M+ season (DF s2, before 10.1.5) makes me have no sympathy for them at all

Need to scrub the spec and make them a tank imo.

That being said, I have no clue how they are doing in high keys or M raiding. I have not seen any in the content I do.

So you’re saying it needs more nerfs

Augs in M+26 asking “what does this boss do?” and then still getting brought to the 27

Aug sacrificed it’s self to protect other DPS from the nerf bat. :'c

That or a melee dps.
Something.

Or just make more support specs for other classes rofl.

Best thing about Evokers is that now Rogues aren’t the least played class in the game anymore lol.

Augs are probably feeling like Devastation was (for 4 seasons). You can bring one but IMO feels like it puts the group at a net-neutral now.

Whereas a good devastation will insanely carry a group damage wise. Flameshaper rework went hard.

Mine is just an open world/fill if friend wants company for Timewalking etc. Still a fun class especially on Chronowarden.

My UHDK got humbled the other day. First room of Mechagon and no the devastation burst for 30 million. Looking at the breakdown it looked like a lot of Pyre, Engulf and Firestorm. Mobs were dead before my blood beast exploded :sob:.

When typical DPS specs arent meta nobody cares.
When Aug isnt meta people act as if the spec isnt even functional. The whole support thing was a mistake.

Ty! I am the Iceman. I might start wearing a red one since I plan on messing around with fire this weekend.

They just need to be a pure DPS spec. Get rid of all buffs, make some more unique earth spells and be done with it.

Honestly, it is even if they gave support to other classes beyond what we have now. It gives me 'nam flashbacks to FFXIV to think about it.

This is the worst. My DK is just a baby (640) and if i dont get a blood beast in the first few globals of a pull, RIP

It’s nice for Dev to be desirable for once. Getting score for this alt has been a breeze compared to the stigma it had in S1 thanks to Aug.

Have been invited to keys 2 levels higher than what I’ve timed above a +12, unheard of if Dev stayed the same as S1.

ngl aug being required for healers and tanks was mostly just a balance issue of healers and tanks. even with aug rsham struggled so hard on the HoI 3rd boss as well as other specs, tanks getting 1 shot all the time without aug or with in some cases (brewmaster season 3 and 4 dragonflight, bdk pmuch every season in df lmao).

game was balanceable with aug, tanks asked to be powerful without them as well as healers but we just never got it until aug got chopped at the knees. we all of a sudden learned to nerf the tank busters across the board 80% of the way through S1 tww and not have wizard bolts that 2 shot you like they did all of dragonflight and then in season 2 tww they didnt even reach live without massive tank buster nerfs. balance was not put into the right spots until now.

don’t even get me started on the boss fight designs in dragonflight being another reason why aug was required, so many absurd 1 shot mechanics and pmuch requiring you to have zephyr. season 2 they were just straight up op though, no arguments there from me at all, season 3 and 4 were really just balance issues from multiple parts of the game combined with aug and this continued in s1 tww
