Raiding and Mythic+ Hero Talents for Augmentation Evoker
Scalecommander is the go to Hero Talent if you want to fire and
forget or play content with less than 4 DPS to buff. Scalecommander
has less cooldown syncing and tracking requirements than
Chronowarden.
Scalecommander is ever so slightly behind Chronowarden in
raids (~0.5%) but approximately 1% ahead in content where you do not have four
other dps to buff. Scalecommander performs better than
Chronowarden does when you have weaker allies since it is less
reliant on their throughput to be effective. This means it is likely the default
recommendation for most players for all content.
Additionally, Scalecommander does significantly more personal damage
than Chronowarden which is the main reason it is less reliant on the
damage your allies are dealing. Although, since the majority of this damage
comes from Bombardments it does not get access to all of it solo
because it cannot saturate the internal cooldown by itself.
Scalecommander presses Breath of Eons nearly on cooldown to
maximise the effects of Melt Armor, Imminent Destruction and
Plot the Future. The increase to personal damage provided by all of these
talents mostly outweighs timing Breath of Eons to DPS cds although
ideally you still loosely sync it. On single target you will get close to a 90
second cooldown on Breath of Eons and on AoE it can be as low as 60s
because of Wingleader granting cooldown reduction.
Chronowarden is an alternative Hero Talent for Raiding and
Mythic+. This tree has a larger focus on planning and strategic play with its
buffs. You play your Breath of Eons as a 2 minute cooldown alongside
Tip the Scales as a Chronowarden.
A large part of Chronowarden is Double-time
which increases the strength of Ebon Might. This makes it
slightly weaker in Mythic+ where you dont have 4 dps.
Chronowarden buffs abilities you are already using such as
Upheaval and Living Flame and provides a lot of haste passively
to you via Primacy and Temporal Burst making your rotation
feel more fluid.
You also get a powerful movement upgrade with Warp and a defensive boon
attached from Temporality.

Hero Talents Rotation for Augmentation Evoker
Chronowarden has only minor impacts on your rotation although the stat gains from Primacy and Temporal Burst feel really good. As a Chronowarden you will be using Tip the Scales more frequently, and using it on Fire Breath always despite Molten Embers incentivising longer lasting Fire Breaths.
Scalecommander has a large impact on your rotation as you get access to Breath of Eons more frequently. Furthermore, since the cooldown reduction provided by Wingleader is so important maintaining as high uptime on Bombardments becomes a large part of the rotational gameplay adding extra nuance to the rotation to make it more interesting to play.
