When you already struggle to balance the classes of the game, then you introduce a spec that’s sole purpose is to buff others… but need to nerf on four different occasions the same specs tells you this lot have no idea what they’re doing. It’s ruining the game for the player base who waste their time, Aug should never have been introduced, its a stupid spec to bring to create further imbalance issues.

This lot before the augmentation was here the balance of the classes were not bad, its when the augmentation came, thats where the problem was and is.

You are aware that damage wise most classes are pretty on par and it’s just the utility that’s massively different?
Also they are nerfing dmg what is the wrong input tbh they need to see at utility or change dungeon design wich is more work. Thats why they did a flat nerf on the +20 dungeon because its the easier approach.

it’s really like that. you need zero skill and it hardly affects gameplay.
you can play braindead and still get a 2800 rating in the first 2 weeks with garbage gear.
I’m not just saying that! I have such aug!
that says it all.
I was fighting hard with my pala healer for every 21 in both weeks prior to the ridiculous patch.
but what is going on now can only come from napoleons from the insane asylum.

the problem is that aug shows now the reality that they try to hide for so long and make up with aura buffs all the time.
the scaling of specs is terrible unbalanced. there are specs like ww that has 0 scaling and things like aug will show that. then you have specs like mages that scale very well and suddenly you have a giant gap
i dont know why aug gives stats instead of just flat % dmg. would be very easy to balance then.
stats result in a different dmg increase for every spec while a dmg increase will just do the same for everything.
besides that you should normalize the aoe cap, either everyone has the same cap or just remove it for everybody. why shadow and mage scale so well? because almost unlimted aoe potential. imagine fire mage would only be able to hit 5 mobs, you think they do now 1.5mio dps?
immortal tanks that can pull half dungeon + fire mage = win. aug just scales it to a new level by making it defnsive wise possible. just from the dmg, i guess 2 fire mages instead of aug + mage would result in something similar

Post n999 about aug evoker. I wonder how many more till end of season.
augvoker should be a tank specc from the beginning, blizz cant handle support stuff, just look at pi
I don’t understand balance complaints from PvE players. You guys don’t have to play “against” the OP specs.
And 99% of you aren’t competing for highest M+ completion score either.
I understand PvP balance complaints because you experience the balance issues directly, getting one shot by broken specs and everything.
But in PvE? I don’t get it.

Augmentation will inevitably get turned into just another dps. At best with it’s own tw/heroism.
just boring like now like some bard class i like play bard ffx 14 bard dancer not strong class no 1 take them still pretty good raids some content why provide nice buff groups hehe
If augmentation would give flat peecentage damage increase then those with big bust cooldowns would benefit the most from the buff. The gap would be much bigger than it is now.
Well if the class is not balanced you simply wait around 6 hours and 200 declines on +17 key even your rio is 2800

Yeah and your forced to play the op spec of your class
We have to play the LFG queue simulator against those specs.
You’re correct. We’re not.
Yesterday evening, I spent a while trying to get into +17 keys on my feral druid (436 ilvl, 2360 score) to farm trinkets. All I got was decline after decline after decline.
I gave up and logged my augvoker (435 ilvl, 2364 score) and got an immediate invite to the first +18 key I applied to.

No lust.
Every tank seems to be guardian.
Every group wants augvoker and shadow priest.
Feral doesn’t synergise that well with these 2 I think similar to fury.
->Playing feral in M+ now seems extremely rough, and it’s tuned worse than fury too
Edit: Yeah, there is no real solution lmao. Let’s see if the meta changes next weak
Balance is absolutely awful in lower keys. By the time your ramp is done the packs are already dead.
