Augmentation Evoker DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.1.5)

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Augmentation Evoker, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

You should use Culminating Blasphemite or Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. The increase in damage from Culminating Blasphemite's crit effect is really minor (less than 0.2%) so you may prefer the movement speed from Elusive Blasphemite instead.

You should use at least one of each Quick Onyx, Deadly Emerald and Quick Ruby. Fill remaining slots with Quick Rubys. It is not worth using a Sapphire gem (Versatility) or an Amber (Stamina) gem on Augmentation Evoker to improve your Blasphemite.

For the duration of Season 2 you can apply a single Corruption enchant to your helm, obtained through the Horrific Visions starting with Patch 11.1.5. These give you a boost in power without any of the downsides associated with corruption when they were last in the game.

There is a limited set of powers available, all of which have two ranks: Lesser or Greater. Below is the rough ranking of value of these powers for both Raiding and Mythic+ as a Augmentation Evoker.

The tuning on these effects is relatively close on Single Target with two notable exceptions — Greater Rune of Echoing Void and Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation. This is because both of these require you to be in melee to deal damage which is not always possible as a Ranged DPS.

1. Greater Rune of Gushing Wound
2. Greater Rune of Infinite Stars
3. Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation   Requires you to stand near melee (15yd range).
4. Greater Rune of the Twisted Appendage
5. Greater Rune of the Void Ritual
6. Greater Rune of Echoing Void (Requires you to stand in melee)

1. Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation   Requires you to stand near melee (15yd range). This is better than Greater Rune of Gushing Wound as long as you can hit at least two thirds of your Greater Rune of Twilight Devastation procs.
2. Greater Rune of Gushing Wound
3. Greater Rune of Echoing Void (Requires you to stand in melee)
4. Greater Rune of the Void Ritual
5. Greater Rune of Infinite Stars
6. Greater Rune of the Twisted Appendage

Disclaimer:The Helmet enchant will only be available once the Horrific Visions open up on May 20th.

In practice, these guidelines are largely down to how enchants do not compete over primary stats, merely secondaries. As a result, the gearing stat priority is applicable and can be followed: Mastery or Haste as a good default, or whatever sims the highest for you at the time for damage. You can find more information about this on the stats page of this guide.

You should be using Flask of Alchemical Chaos at all times.

You should be using Algari Mana Oil.

Your stat potion should be Tempered Potion. Use these when you will do the most damage with your abilities, likely during your cooldowns and/or Bloodlust/ Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potions to use when at low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they are best used separately! You can also obtain Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

You should be eating from a Feast at all times, either Feast of the Divine Day, Feast of the Midnight Masquerade, or Hearty Feast of the Midnight Masquerade.

If Feasts are not available, eat Outsider's Provisions, Beledar's Bounty, Jester's Board, or Empress' Farewell instead.

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
