Augmentation Evoker DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0)

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, Masterful Emerald and Masterful 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.

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 Tempered Mastery while playing Chronowarden and Flask of Alchemical Chaos otherwise.

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 Invigorating 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 Invigorating 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!

You can also buy the permanent Ethereal Augment Rune once at Renown 18 with the new Season 3 K'aresh Trust faction or use the Soulgorged Augment Runes that drop from the new raid and persist through death.

In this section we will detail some Consumables that are useful for leveling during Midnight. These will be primarily focused on items that increase your Speed — both actual Movement Speed and DPS. For players who are having a tough time then defensive enchants are still strong.

• Enchant Ring - Radiant Haste — Best ring Enchant for DPS.
• Enchant Boots - Scout's March — Best Speed Enchant.
• Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity — Best Speed Enchant.
• Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed — Best Speed Enchant.

• Exquisitely Eviscerated Muscle — Most Recent Food buff that provides a large amount of speed that will make leveling considerably faster.
• Fried Bonefish or Bear Tartare — Older food buffs that still provide a noticeable increase in Speed. If you have any of these still from leveling in previous Expansions they would be good to use again.

Combat potions can be used to speed up quest bosses or make larger pulls faster (and thus safer). We suggest making sure you have a fair few to last you until the Midnight economy stabilises and Midnight potions become affordable.

Health Potions are invaluable for saving your life during leveling. We suggest making sure you have some Invigorating Healing Potion saved up for leveling before starting Midnight but not too many as Silvermoon Health Potion will invalidate these after you hit level 81 and are often very cheap at 1 star.

After Midnight starts you will be able to acquire Silvermoon Health Potion which is the new Health Potion. These are usable from Level 81 and provide considerably more healing than Invigorating Healing Potion. These will often be cheap even early on, or you can make your own, and will make your leveling a lot smoother as these will likely be a full heal which can prevent most accidental deaths.

We suggest making sure you have some of these consumables as they make leveling significantly faster:

• Goblin Glider Kit
• Gunshoes or Potion of the Reborn Cheetah
• Light-Step Hoofplates
• Thunderous Drums
• Draught of Silent Footfalls
