Augmentation Evoker Leveling Tips for

Be aware of your cooldowns and use them often. When it comes to solo play, Augmentation does not have many traditional offensive cooldowns, but even using Breath of Eons as often as possible is important for making short work of your enemies. Make sure to keep up your main buffs such as Ebon Might and Blistering Scales, and also remember to use your defensives like Obsidian Scales and Renewing Blaze.

Use your Crowd Control (CC). Evoker is pretty strong against melee foes, but it is still possible to be overwhelmed. Stun enemies with Terror of the Skies , and control them with Wing Buffet, Tail Swipe, and Permeating Chill activated by Azure Strike.

Don't be afraid to go big. You can't test your limits if you are afraid of pulling too much. Getting comfortable with AoEing down mobs is a good way to get better at the class and level faster.

If things are looking bad for you, get out. Augmentation Evoker has a variety of survivability tools including a cheat death in Defy Fate, but there's no sense in standing your ground just to fight a losing battle. Make use of Hover and the additional movement speed granted to put distance between you and your foes, and be slippery!

Remember to use Visage. Activate Chosen Identity to automatically swap to your Visage form outside of combat. The extra healing out of combat is a great tool to minimize downtime while leveling.

The War Within Augmentation Spec Tree

Pathing Notes

Pathing through the spec tree for Augmentation essentially involves picking up key damage-dealing abilities which are crucial for leveling, then picking up additional value and utility to round out each section of the tree.

Start off by grabbing core spells Ebon Might, Eruption, and Upheaval, as well as the ability to generate Essence Burst.
Round out the top section of the tree by grabbing your interrupt, Quell, and your major cooldown, Breath of Eons, as well as additional utility.
From here, head down the left side of the tree to pick up damage improvements most useful for solo play.
Complete the middle section of the tree with big value utility, as well as Prescience, an important support buff.
Begin working on the capstone section of the tree by picking up Interwoven Threads. From there, the leftmost talents will be most useful for solo play, so we can pick those up first.
With your final points, finish off the capstone area of the tree by pathing towards Plot the Future and Molten Embers.

The War Within Evoker Class Tree

Pathing Notes

The Evoker class tree is inherently much more flexible, and you can feel free to experiment with utility that you find most useful while leveling. These suggestions generally aim to grab damage first, followed by utility that is likely to be useful while leveling, leaning towards solo play in open world.

Start off by grabbing Natural Convergence, followed by Living Flame damage and an additional charge of your active defensive, Obsidian Scales.
Round out the top section of the tree by grabbing the top right nodes, which provide some additional damage and healing.
From here, head down the left side of the tree to pick up some additional damage, followed by Tip The Scales and the survivability nodes in the middle of the tree.
Complete the middle section of the tree by picking up Blast Furnace, along with additional useful utility.
Once you've unlocked the capstone section of the class tree, path towards Aerial Mastery for an additional Hover charge, and the left-side path heading into Terror of the Skies.
With your final points, grab any leftover utility that you find most useful. Nodes like Time Spiral, Source of Magic, and Zephyr can be quite useful in group content at max level, but provide limited value in solo play.

I've only played this class/spec once during Pandaria Remix so, I really appreciate knowing what to do. I barely missed Ancient Flame when I was using my last talent point, though.
