It’s amazing that close to two years after its implementation, you still have folks across every skill level wondering what it even does.
It’s overpowered, and its contributions are obscure and difficult to measure. Rip the bandaid off and accept the dropoff in players that will follow.
As an aside, I main Aug and I detest its existence.
Just remove the class all together
No.
Terrible take.
It’s of equivalent quality as yours.
I’m perfectly fine with either of these.
I really wish it was just something different. I like the idea of a support role and I like the earth spells but in practice it just isn’t fun to me.
Aug would’ve made me main tank if it was a tank spec instead.
Aug should never have had more utility than dev in my opinion, it should be mainly a choice of dps profile.
Same way I dislike making people switch to blood dk if you need mass grip, it should be a class wide utility.
And I wonder if it would have made an alright healing spec with an emphasis on buffing teammates. I always considered “support” to be similar to “healer” in other games at least.
No thanks, I like the support spec and want to continue playing it. Thanks for your opinion though 
Blizzard was deeply ambitious with its implementation and you can see over the last two years that there are signs of pullback.
It’s been consistently nerfed in significant ways (and rightfully so), pointing to fundamental design flaws. It egregiously buffs certain specs while it’s absolutely terrible paired with others.
Why introduce a new spec with such a unique profile if you aren’t prepared for the quagmire of tuning issues that it introduces?
Remove it. Or as others have pointed out, completely redesign it into something different. A support spec simply doesn’t work in this game because we don’t have the tools to fully commit to the complexities that it brings to the game.
Also, please buff devastation. It’s been garbage all expansion in M+.
Ok, Felsavior.
Honestly I still don’t even know what its purpose is despite being grouped with one a few times before lol.
They cast a thing and everyone’s DPS goes up every 30 seconds.
To me Augmentation was one of the coolest new specs and role types added to the game in years. I’d rather see it get new tools to help it be support however possible.
How about we stop trying to delete stuff from this game?
Just make Aug a pure dps spec with no buffs.
Might want to read 11.1 patch notes.
No. Keep Aug as it is now (That is, keep its ability to ebon might tanks/healers), and add more ‘support’ specs.
No, it’s a dps spec. It’s issues were always that it was providing tank and healer power when it was a DPS spec, and that it did so to an unparalleled degree.

Even when you compare to FF14 which people like to take example for supports specs, those specs mostly do 10-15% of their damage with their buffs and don’t offer a myriad more of utility. Personally, it always felt from the start that aug was simply another way to make people that play “game 2” not happy. They don’t even want people that willingly use dps meters to be able to track aug dps. One of the dev that worked on it and made interviews about it also quickly left Blizzard right after. The biggest joke for me is that the kind of player that would want to play this would generally in my mind be more casual, while to play augmentation well at least in raid it’s probably one of the most complexe spec.
I think there’s a 12 step program for that.
