Augmentation Evoker Frequently Asked Questions — The War Within Pre-Patch
On this page, we go over several of the most frequently asked questions regarding Augmentation Evoker in World of Warcraft — The War Within Pre-Patch. This will be updated as more common repeated questions surface over the course of the expansion.
How Much Mastery should I have?
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.
When should I use Breath of Eons?
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.
Does Augmentation work with Details/Warcraft Logs?
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!
How should I move and DPS?
With Evoker, you have multiple options.
- 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).
- Finally you have Azure Strike.
What is Hover Weaving?
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.
Is Augmentation Evoker a good Power Infusion target?
No! Power Infusion is better used on one of the DPS players you are buffing.
How often does Essence regenerate?
1 Essence every 5 seconds. This is impacted by talents & Haste.
