Augmentation Evoker Guide for Midnight Season 2 (Patch 12.1)
viewsAbout the Spec
This is a unique ranged support fighter whose primary stat is Intellect. The Augmentation Evoker wears mail armor and channels the magic of the Black and Bronze dragonflights to empower its allies.
The defining feature of the Augmentation Evoker is that most of its effectiveness comes not from its own damage, but from a significant boost to the stats and survivability of the entire group.
Strengths
- A sought-after spec, especially for high-end content.
- Huge contribution to group survivability through shields and armor bonuses.
- High mobility thanks to Hover.
- Unique gameplay focused on helping allies.
Weaknesses
- Low personal damage.
- Difficulty tracking effectiveness (standard DPS meters poorly reflect its contribution).
- Dependence on the skill level of your allies.
- Ability range is limited to 25 yards.

Leveling Process
Leveling in the Augmentation spec can be slower than in Devastation. Your main abilities will be Upheaval and 
Tectonic Slam.
It is recommended to level in a group or switch to Devastation to complete quests, since the support mechanics are most fully realized only when you have allies.
Handy Tips for Mythic+
Ebon Might — your passive ability that grants shields to the group. The more damage you deal, the more shields your allies receive.
Use Breath of Eons to track your teammates' burst cooldowns and sync Breath of Eons with them.
The 
Time Skip ability can save a tank from certain death, so don't forget about it.
In keys, the Augmentation Evoker makes runs smoother, easing the load on the healer through constant armor buffs and shields.
