State of Augmentation in Rated Arena

Also, I don’t know when it was changed, but Breath of Eons no longer works with the pvp talent Born in Flame. Apparently Augmentation didn’t suck enough in pvp, lol.

I don’t recall it ever working

It did last season, I know that for a fact, was just shy of 2100 as augmentation and the ebon might you got from Breath of Eons procced Born in Flame, there’s multiple posts about it, with people asking if it was a bug or intended.

Also noticed this, I don’t even bother with Breath of Eons now though, its been nerfed about 3-4 consecutive times since release, especially from close as clutch mates. I find deep breath just does more damage, faster and more reliably, and it frees up a very important talent point

Yeah, after meddling with Augmentation in some shuffles, I can honestly say it’s not viable. Every shuffle I’m dead last in damage, and not by a little, I’m talking about the next guy above me is doubling if not tripling me in damage. Just got out of a shuffle with an affliction lock, destruction lock, and a devastation evoker, with me playing augmentation. Affy: 49 million damage, Destro: 47 million damage, Devastation: 36 million damage, me as Aug: 13 million damage, I did 14 million healing, lol, more healing than damage. Pouring salt in the wound, the affy and destro did 11 million, and 12 million healing, so they did comparable healing, while quadrupling me in damage, went 0-6. This is not fun or viable, going to have to stick to devastation if you want to climb the ladder, it’s the only viable spec.

It’s almost like the overwhelming majority of augmentation’s damage is ebon might being funneled into your teammate, so it doesn’t show up on damage meters

:woozy_face:

Still doesn’t change the fact that class is just nerfed beyond repair.

Whatever you say.

Do you stream at all, Frequentlee?
