Augmentation Retrospective & War Within Wishlist
Since its original debut halfway through Dragonflight Season 2, Augmentation Evoker has made quite the splash as the game's first real support-oriented damage dealer specialization. The spec has since seen a variety of adjustments to various aspects of its kit, mostly in the form of balance tuning aimed at reining in its overwhelming popularity in raid and Mythic+ compositions towards the end of Season 2.
With the better part of Dragonflight Season 3 now behind us, many of us have had the opportunity to experience Augmentation Evoker in all major forms of content and at different levels of relative power, from the high level of throughput the spec was first capable of achieving at its launch in Season 2, to the current, much more modest tuning target of Season 3.
The spec has drawn a number of new players with its unique abilities and support fantasy, with PvE players having been especially eager to include the spec in group content, largely for its distinct and expansive utility kit. Unfortunately, many of us have also seen the excitement of playing the spec be short-lived, especially in a raid setting, as the realities of competitive raid gameplay begin to weigh on the player, leading to a degree of dissatisfaction and burnout that I've seldom experienced in my time with the game.
At the end of the day, I still remain eagerly optimistic about «The Great Augmentation Experiment» and the overall direction of support gameplay going forward. As we look towards the upcoming The War Within expansion and beyond, there are some real lessons to be learned from our most recent experiences with the spec that when considered carefully and critically, could directly address many of the concerns that Augmentation players have been actively experiencing, and could very well lead to the solid new foundation in the coming expansion that the spec so thoroughly deserves.
