Delusional. People didn't embrace Aug Evoker in m+ (or raid). We were forced to by Blizzard. It could be nerfed by 50% and it'd still be mandatory. There's no way for a non-aug group to do damage an aug group unless the aug evoker is pure trolling.
Hunters taking the L like always lmao
There is no way they're going to be able to balance this. This is basically a 4th role spec in a game where every other class only has 3 roles max.
Ugh, and here we go, Blizzard screwing up the fun design of a support spec by shifting buff damage to unwanted personal damage and turning it into just another DPS spec, all because of a few whining meta slaves in the most cancerous gamemode
Dont see the point in putting it in if they are just going to give up and make it a dps spec straight away cos 0.01% of people play it a better way. Just let it be what its supposed to be. A support class. Blizz just hindered by itself ALL.THE.TIME.
It needs more nerfs. Aug should be something that's nice to have but not something that feels mandatory for every high key until the end of time. That's probably hard target to hit but if they can't it's better if it becomes unplayable in high keys than what we have right now. Also give us those hooks for dmg meters.
Once again Rogues are left in the dust.
All 5 meta specs need more nerfs. They are still too far ahead.
you guys should have went for a tank spec with black and bronze dragonflight instead , support class is a nice idea but here we are..
You guys dont have to be a slave to the meta... It's quite sad.
"We aren't going to nerf"Blizzard nerfs.
Augmentation has destroyed high key pushing and as shown in chart above it is now basically impossible to play if your not one of the only 5 specs that get invited to groups on the 20+ range. 15%+ for the 5 main specs being played and below 1% for multiple classes.Way to go blizzard! You took a game about running dungeons and turned it into a multi hour que game that only leads to a hundred+ group applications declined per hour. It was fun running low 20s before Aug. Now we just don't get to play at all. They should give you your monthly subscription back when you get declined 1000 times in a single week.
Aug Evoker will not be nerfed until after an Aug Evoker wins the great push. Furthermore, despite you paying 15 dollars a month to play wow. You will play the spec Aug Evoker or you will not time keys. We blizzard tell you what to play. Period end of story meta for life.
Too be honest the biggest issue with augmentation is the survivability it brings to keys. Don't get me wrong the damage amp is also way too high, but yeah good luck balancing this clown fest. The utility kit is by far the biggest issue, and there ain't no way you're going to make this spec 'optional' in m+ even with these nerfs. It either gets nerfed into the floor and only played in raid where it's decently balanced outside of meme comps or remains 100% meta on m+. Pretty sure evoker ain't going away.It's great getting invited 25/26 keys just because people want aug evokers tho :)) I literally had an augmentation evoker that died every boss this week in a freehold 26 which we invited because we see they had UR 26 timed. Sadly, we didnt check to see beforehand that the evoker was stright up boosted by 3.4rio players... in said key.
BIGGEST blunder/mess up of "Balance" in WoW history by Blizz.How the heck do they release a spec that gives almost three times the power with buff to one or two specific specs than most of the already weaker ones?That alone is a huge failure.
Blizzard has never had a ‘balanced’ class lineup (though I’m sure may of us wish they did). They’ve always tuned classes stronger than others, intentionally or not…. I only wish they were more reactive to classes that are CLEARLY over/under-tuned in relation to the rest of the class/spec lineup. While the new play style of Augmentation is a potential breath of fresh air for the game, I have very little to no hope that they will be able to balance any of this properly or accurately. Not to mention, this ‘Meta’ style of tuning brings out the most toxic mentalities and personalities in the player base.
