Augmentation Evoker DPS Spell List and Glossary — Season 4
On this page, we present you with all spells and procs that you need to understand as a Augmentation Evoker in World of Warcraft — Season 4.
Introduction
This page describes the essential spells and passives all Augmentation Evokers have at Level 70. It goes over the main aspects of the specialization to help understand the remainder of the guide. It can also be helpful as a quick reference.
If you are leveling a Augmentation Evoker, you likely will not have access to all of the abilities and passives listed here. However, our leveling guide can help specify when you will unlock everything.
Primary Resource of a Augmentation Evoker
Evokers utilize a new Resource called Essence, which regenerates over time at a rate of 1 Essence every 5 seconds.
You spend Essence on Disintegrate or Eruption, the upgrade to Disintegrate Augmentation can talent, to deal damage.
Evokers also have Mana, primarily used for your healing abilities. As Augmentation, you will not need to worry about your Mana except when casting many healing spells.
Baseline Augmentation Evoker Abilities
Ability | Abbreviation | Description/Effect |
---|---|---|
Fire Breath | FB | Fire Breath is one of your new Empowered Spells. This conal attack deals damage to everything in the cone. It leaves a damage-over-time effect on every enemy hit. |
Deep Breath | DB | Deep Breath is a very thematic ability for Evoker. You pick your destination, and you will fly from your current position to there, damaging everything in your path. This talent is replaced by Breath of Eons for Augmentation when talented, which is a Bronze magic themed replacement that acts as their primary cooldown. |
Disintegrate | Dis/Disin/Disint | Disintegrate costs 3 Essence. It is a single-target damaging ability that deals a very high amount of damage and is channeled on your target. This is replaced by Eruption. |
