Augmentation Evokers have been on the live realms for just under two weeks and have already become a Mythic+ powerhouse. Our Augmentation Guide Writer, Jereico, breaks down all the reasons why and if the incoming nerfs will threaten their success.
Be sure to check out our class guide to learn about the latest Support Ranged DPS, Augmentation.

Upcoming Augmentation Tuning

Augmentation
Close as Clutchmates now causes Ebon Might and Breath of Eons to be 20% more effective when not in a raid (was 40%).
Fixed a bug where Close as Clutchmates would not increase the Evoker’s damage done via Ebon Might for periodic effects such as Fire Breath.
Ebon Might now increases the Evoker’s damage done by 20% (was 10%).
Eruption damage increased by 40%.
Fate Mirror’s chance to occur reduced to 15% (was 20%).
Aspects’ Favor amplifies Black Attunement to 7%/10% maximum health (was 10%/16%).
Developers’ notes: Augmentation is overperforming in dungeons and is doing less direct damage than intended relative to the power of their buffing effects. These adjustments will increase their personal damage in all situations and moderately reduce the effectiveness of their buffs in dungeon content.
Augmentation Evoker is receiving a number of
balance changes as part of the July 25 Hotfixes
, reducing its contribution to group damage and survivability while slightly increasing its personal damage. While these changes will be felt by those currently pushing the hardest keys this season, particularly the nerfs to
동기지간
and
위상의 호의
, Augmentation is almost certainly still poised to remain a main fixture in the Mythic+ meta for the reasons discussed in this article.
Augmentation in Mythic+ Currently
It’s been a week since Augmentation Evoker hit Live servers, and the spec has already had a massive impact on the game. From
stacking 22 Aug Evokers to clear Rashok in 20 seconds
to reigniting the debate around tools like Details and WarcraftLogs, the community at large has absolutely been making the most of this unprecedented mid-season launch.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of this past week however has been how quickly the community would embrace Augmentation Evoker in Mythic+. The spec quickly became a cornerstone of a powerful meta composition including some of the other strongest specs in Week 1 of Patch 10.1.5, allowing teams in some cases to push several key levels higher than usual.
A clear meta composition has emerged in the top key clears of 10.1.5 including Holy Paladin, Shadow Priest, Fire Mage, Guardian Druid, and Augmentation Evoker.
Recommended Build Update
I’ll be going over the latest recommended build to help you jump into keys this week, diving into what it is that makes Augmentation so effective, and highlighting some strong utility options for coordinated groups to take your Augmentation gameplay to the next level.
Recommended General Mythic+ Build:
Swapping out
미래 계획
for
엮인 실타래
has emerged as a clear favourite among Augmentation players in keys, and it makes sense. The main benefit of playing
시간 건너뛰기
in raid is being able to set up simultaneous
흐르는 모래
Versatility buffs across four buffed DPS players during a
피의 욕망
burst window, which simply doesn’t translate to a Mythic+ setting. This along with the fact that
엮인 실타래
allows you to be more flexible with your cooldown usage over the course of a full key makes this a comfortable choice, despite having to give up a throughput talent in exchange.
Overall this is a balanced, tried-and-true setup that has seen success with both inexperienced players and some of the top key-doers. It takes efficient damage-oriented talents along with core spec utility, while keeping open the possibility of swapping certain flexible talents for more group-specific or niche utility needs.
For
분노
week you may wish to swap a point from
선천적인 마법
into
위압
for the AoE soothe capability.

Why is Augmentation a Powerhouse in Mythic+?
Augmentation Evoker is quite clearly able to layer powerful damage multipliers on allies and amplify their burst windows to achieve powerful synergies, making the spec well worth its spot from a damage standpoint—but this doesn’t tell the whole story. Augmentation also features an incredibly potent support and utility kit, greatly improving the group’s survivability and significantly increasing its odds of success.
칠흑의 힘
and
동기지간
동기지간
makes
칠흑의 힘
share up to 13% main stat (with tier set) with all four members of the group. Although nerfed from 15% in the latest tuning hotfixes, this makes up a significant portion of Augmentation’s damage contribution, but also directly buffs the Healer player’s HPS. Combined with a multiplicative 3% bonus from
강력한 마나
, Augmentation Evokers directly buff healer output by roughly 16.6% from these two buffs alone.
흐르는 모래
Augmentation Evoker regularly applies
흐르는 모래
to nearby DPS players, granting in the ballpark of 20% flat Versatility depending on the Evoker’s Mastery. While this results in more damage, it also importantly provides these players with an additional 10% damage reduction with high uptime.
검은 조율
and
위상의 호의
검은 조율
provides the group with an additional 4% maximum health, which stacks with
신의 권능: 인내
. With 2 points in
위상의 호의
, the Evoker’s two stacks of
흑요석 비늘
are upgraded to provide the group with 10% additional maximum health for a base duration of 12 seconds. While the latest tuning hotfixes have brought this down from 16%, the availability of this effect, combined with the ability to stack with other mitigation like
미풍
,
시간 수호물
, and
쌍둥이 수호자
still make it quite possible with Augmentation to survive mechanics that would otherwise one-shot a team.
끓어오르는 비늘
끓어오르는 비늘
is in many ways more useful than it first appears. The damaging effect of course deals damage to all nearby enemies, which can be quite effective, and makes
반응성 가죽
's damage stacking particularly attractive in certain keys like Freehold and Brackenhide Hollow. Importantly, this damage is fully attributed to the buffed player, meaning that tanks can passively generate threat on enemies while starting a pull, making it less likely for stragglers to break off and attack other group members.
용암의 피
naturally makes
끓어오르는 비늘
a powerful external which can be used on anyone in a pinch. Finally, any tank will appreciate some extra armor, but talents like
무쇠 가시
make this bonus just a little bit sweeter.
All The Stops
Augmentation Evoker has baseline access to a knockback in
폭풍 날개
, and two knock-ups in
꼬리 휘둘러치기
and
지각 변동
.
탄압의 포효
can be used alongside allied crowd control spells for a longer effect. A 20-second interrupt in
압도적 존재감
is a great pick-up to keep things under control in less coordinated groups. Lastly, if you find that you need even more control on top of this,
하늘의 공포
and
지진 격돌
add two massive AoE stuns to the Augmentation kit, making for quite the collection.
The Great Push 2023 Begins this Weekend
While many of us have been enjoying Augmentation Evoker to great effect this past week on Live servers, some of the top Mythic+ teams have meanwhile been busy cooking up strategies and practising new routes for this weekend’s Group A round of The Great Push 2023. There are some concerns that there will be minimal variance in class composition this weekend, but personally I am particularly excited to see how these teams make the most of Augmentation Evoker’s extensive utility kit for the first time on the big stage.
Players have already found at least one use for
웨이른석 부여
—a powerful niche talent which allows players to teleport up to 100 yards to each other—to save time in Freehold by allowing the Evoker to sneak ahead, start the Ring of Booty roleplay, and teleport back to the group.
Additionally, it’s not unlikely that we may see players lean harder than ever into Augmentation’s unique utility in order to survive these high level keystones. Some teams have been experimenting with using
무궁
on a buffed DPS player to keep them from overtaking the tank on large pulls. Additionally, coordinated teams focused on maximising control might drop less critical damage talents like
선천적인 마법
,
마법의 샘
, or
점화 질주
in favour of strong control and utility picks like
하늘의 공포
,
지진 격돌
, and
공간의 역설
.
For those of us excited to see Augmentation Evoker in action, the timing of this year’s The Great Push could not be better. I’m quite sure that whatever happens, I’m quite sure that we can expect this weekend to have at least a few surprises in store.
