Adding Evoker was a mistake?

He was talking about M+, it was the bulk of the discussion about how removing the Aug to do more damage might be required to push any higher in keys, so the only thing to figure out was how to survive without the Aug.

It seems like quite an understood thing that Aug doesn’t bring as much damage as another dps now.

3:15 minutes in.

You’re welcome :wink:

I mean you’re welcome, he mentioned how people have been saying what I just said, and he also confirms he has been saying the same thing. So you’re disagreeing with him based on what, that it’s not 100% a sure thing?

I don’t think you’ve even watched it… especially the part where he said WE DON’T actually know how Aug is performing in M+

For now we have to rely of some lunatics on twitch who tests by their own and speculate.

i really enjoy Evoker, Dev is a really good spec in my opinion.

best spec/class since DK was introduced in WOTLK

I doubt they’ll purge them. I think actually they’ll be adding more of these support specs in the future and that’s not a bad thing.

Hopefully they balance them properly

The title is misleading. Evoker wasn’t a mistake, even if it’s a bit niche.

Augmentation is on a point werent it isnt necessary anymore on high keys even they arent needed anymore so they are on a point were they are good enough.

Any key under +29 Aug is currently complete pile of worthless crap, 3rd actual dps is waay better.

Even in +31 they arent necessary.

Probably, it just never truly recovered from the big nerfs.

what a shame

So what is the conclution from the forums, are we PURGING evokers for next xpac or not?

yeah purging an entire class because of 1 spec sounds reasonable

Adding Evoker or even Aug was not a mistake. Only adding aug and no other support specs was definitely a mistake though.

No, we don’t.

I’m not sure… people bashing on this Aug a lot but then you get comments in communities like: I ran that 25 yesterday with Aug, went smooth like butter.

Or: if we didn’t have Aug we would’ve been dead and the key depleted.

It seems that they bring something keys need: a hand.

OR, they increase the tankiness of the whole group with their utility and the buffs they bring, which makes it way way easier to survive certain mechanics. Which is also the reason why they are brought in the first place.

In an environment where one of the biggest limiting factors is survivalbility, you will just have a better/easier time to bring something that helps you to survive.

The spec was a mistake, especially when you remember that blizzard said they are not planning bringing more support specs

The dragons are my favorite part in warcraft, Cata is one of mine favorite expansion just because there are a lot of dragon bosses.

I always wanted to have a way to play like a dragon in game and I made evoked my main (even if I stopped with retail now that I have got to 1.4 in solo shuffle).

All specs are great and truly fun, especially aug (that I played in normal bgs and battleground blitz) the spec is a new and fresh concept to the game, maybe in the future other classes will get similar spells to compensate.
