So basically, we only have 2 DPS spots this season, last season it was priest x mage. aug was basically mandatory. i fail to see how to balance a support class. they will either be overpowered, or useless.
Honestly…the answer is to add more of them, with different playstyle and feel. Obviously won’t be done now, but something for the future.
Aug is also dps. And i think i have played 2 dungeons last season with an aug. Not sure why you call it mandatory.

I fail to see how aug is mandatory but ok.

I think I see the problem here.
You don’t know what words like “mandatory” mean.
They ain’t mandatory, or even close for 95-99,9% of the playerbase.

looking at their plan with “hero talent trees” its much more likely that augument will be reworked into tank spec for 11.0
its clear failure of design if 1 spec/class is basicly mandatory for m+ .

We’ll see I guess.
But if we had more support focused specs, that would mean one spec isn’t mandatory. (whether or not you believe it is, is a whole another matter)
But admittedly, that would require a new class which wasn’t announced, a new spec which wasn’t announced, or to give support options to existing specs which may or may not go over well.
Edit: I do disagree that the concept is a failure, only failure is that Augmentation is the only one.

Aug is most likely will be bad in mid and low Keys, but OP in very high coordinated groups, people are just naive and think it’s OP because it’s ranked as S+ tier in every time list. In the mod keys people don’t even macro Prescience and just give it to tank so tank can rage at DPS that his DPS is higher than theirs 
I wish DH had the care Evokers received. We still have only 2 specializations, maybe forever 
Try playing dev in 20+ keys. Qing as one is a miserable experience. Aug? No. Declined rinse repeat for an hour
Agreed. Maybe a melee spec too. like every season has a meta but this has been one of the worst for off meta specs
Since they also dont plan to add another support for now, it will be also mandatory for the war within, if not heavily reworked or nerfed.
So yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…
you either nerf them to the ground or let them stay viable. they can’t nerrf the newest spec to a point where it won’t be played . they need to add new supports ASAP or turn some healers/dps to support
Timed up to +23 with survival hunter, demolock and ret pala.
What if I told you evoker was just invented to cater to furries just like every other furry race like those small foxes who are almost always called uwu or something such?
Murica has a bunch of furries and they are the target audience. Just like how Belfs were targeted at East Asian because playing a beautiful almost borderline metrosexual race is all they know or even care about.
Once it’s over and done and TWW is out, aug will probably be turned into a tank class and they’ll add the function to hide the furry look or unlock evoker for other races. I mean it’s kinda hard to see your character when tanking so it kinda makes sense. And you have to remember that furries are narcissists before anything else and they have a (attention) span just like anything else in this reality.
Aaah just had te get in my “Aug meta, i dont get spots” fix 
Do ur own key and then there isnt a problem anymore
Nope just do this, " all buffs only goes for dps specs not tanking/healing specs" simple augmentation just need to buff dps not the other roles.
OK. But then make and balance dungeons / specs assuming that support speks exist. In other words, dont treat it as a DPS and try to balance it as one.
It means:
A) Do 1-1-1-3 dungeons and 2-2-2-6 raids…
B) Over-Specialize specs. As in: Remove all untility from healers, tanks, and DD and give it to the new “support role”. Because right now, ALL specs are a “little bit support”. Its called Utility and some have more than others.
C) Balance classes assuming a support spec would be present. In other words, if specs DONT play with a Support class then they do significantly less damage, and the difference between specs is larger.
D) Balance damage/healing of support role. No more : It does as much damage as a DPS but heals 50% as much as the tank. It should do LESS dps than a pure dps if its going to buff the healer/tank as well (and have all that utility).
But BEFORE adding more Augs to the game, fix A, B, C and D. Otherwise it ruins the game.
