Augmentation Evoker Frequently Asked Questions — Season 4

As much as possible. After approximately the third DR (9000 Mastery before accounting for Blue Silken Lining) Critical Strike Chance and Haste become a lot closer to Mastery, although Mastery is still the better stat.

You want to make sure you are getting as many Breath of Eons uses in a given combat period, but also use it when your allies have DPS cooldowns.

, For this reason,, we suggest using Breath of Eons as a two-minute cooldown, as the majority of specializations have 2-minute cooldowns. See our Buffs Page for more information on other specialisations.

Augmentation does not currently work with details, and Blizzard's current stance appears to be that they want it to be like this as they want a the distinction between the ingame experience and the out-of-game experience. Details has a mode where it tries to estimate the damage dealt by Augmentation Evokers but it is extremely inaccurate and we recommend you use logs instead.

Augmentation does work with Warcraft Logs as Blizzard has been implementing combat hooks, so damage gained from your support effects will be reattributed back to you.

The combat hooks implementation is not perfect and potentially inaccurate for some events. If you find notable errors in the attribution math, make sure to report it to Blizzard!

With Evoker, you have multiple options.

1. Hover is most preferable as this will allow you to cast whilst moving after the short animation. This can be used as a DPS gain if you Hover Weave (more details below).
2. Finally you have Azure Strike.

Hover is not on the GCD, so you can cast a spell while you are on the GCD from another spell. An example of this is when you need to move from a mechanic, and you want to keep doing DPS instead of just using Hover you can cast Azure Strike, and during the GCD of this spell, you use Hover and can then cast more impactful spells on the move as the animation lockout from Hover is shorter than the GCD.

No! Power Infusion is better used on one of the DPS players you are buffing.

1 Essence every 5 seconds. This is impacted by talents & Haste.
