Augmentation Evoker First Look

Augmentation Evoker joins the roster of specs in World of Warcraft when Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5 hits in July. However what’s the spec all about?

It is a first for WoW, as we enter a mid-expansion patch with a brand new spec for a category on the horizon. The EVoker launched with two specs, and whereas a 3rd appears apparent, we have by no means even heard a whisper of the Demon Hunter (additionally with simply two specs) gaining a 3rd. May this be our first experiment in added specs, or is it nothing greater than Blizzard utilizing lore to make a spec is sensible?

What Is the Augmentation Evoker Spec?

From Blizzard’s very personal phrases:

“Augmentation is a brand new Injury Vendor function with a twist: they use the essence of the Black and Bronze dragonflights to amplify the talents of close by allies. The play type for this new specialization includes empowering your allies with quite a lot of helpful results. Some will be forged straight in your allies, whereas others are tied to utilizing your damage-dealing skills successfully. Augmentation Evokers ship their injury in a completely distinctive approach. They act as pressure multipliers, rising their group’s capabilities (and injury output) considerably.”

What Blizzard has principally given us, is the DPS model of a Disc Priest. It is fascinating that we have been given it mid-exåansion, and mid-patch, although, given the raid tier is already over it may be a stroke of genius.
