Augmentation Evokers is a support-oriented ranged DPS spec that was added to the game in the Dragonflight Expansion. Augmentation Evoker is the only Support Specialization in the game currently. A large portion of Augmentation Evokers damage comes from its allies so it loses minimal damage from doing mechanics or using its large plethora of utility. This makes Augmentation Evoker an excellent choice for both Raiding and Mythic+.

Augmentation Evoker is the first support-oriented specialization in World of Warcraft and acts as a mid-range caster DPS and has a range of 25 yards for most of their abilities although this can be extended to 30 yards on your helpful spells (buffs, heals) with Arcane Reach.

Strengths

• Unique supportive playstyle being the only primarily buff oriented specialisation.
• Very mobile.
• Very tanky with multiple defensives like Obsidian Scales, Renewing Blaze, Twin Guardian, Zephyr, and a cheat death Defy Fate.
• Flexible damage output because a significant portion of your damage comes from buffing others.
• Has potent utility tools like Timelessness, Cauterizing Flame, Zephyr, Spatial Paradox and Rescue.
• High damage output when optimised.

Weaknesses

• 25 yard range takes some getting used to.
• Reliant on having allies that perform well to deal maximum damage.
• Tracking personal performance is challenging.
• Optimal Raid Gameplay involves usage of external tools to optimise.

Evokers no longer start at level 58. They now start level 10 like every other class. You can follow our dedicated leveling guide that will walk you through the best talents to choose on your journey and also provide you with a number of tips and tricks. Before you start on your journey, though, we recommend setting up your UI so that you can familiarize yourself with it before you reach maximum level. Due to the support nature of Augmentation, it is recommended to do world content as Devastation, especially while levelling.

The Augmentation Evoker playstyle is all about buffing your allies and has many interactions that help with this. Some examples are listed below:

1. Ebon Might prefers to go on targets with Prescience, letting you control who you buff.
2. Casting Empowered Spells during Ebon Might will extend its duration.
3. The cooldown of your Upheaval can be reduced when you cast Eruption with Accretion.
4. Casting Fire Breath with Leaping Flames talented will make your next Living Flame hit additional targets (based on the Empower level).
5. Healing other players with Scarlet Adaptation will increase the damage of your next Living Flame.
6. Casting Emerald Blossom or Verdant Embrace with Ancient Flame will reduce the cast time of your next Living Flame.

As a Augmentation Evoker, most of your rotational depth comes from choosing correct targets for Prescience and using the various interactions listed above to extend Ebon Might as long as possible.

Once at maximum level, we recommend checking out our Easy Mode guide, linked below. This guide will briefly go over what you need to do to play your character optimally, though, of course, the main Rotation and Talents pages are slightly more optimized.

If you are new to Augmentation Evoker and would like to learn the basics of the class, we also recommend looking at the Spell Summary. We also have full guides for the Augmentation Evoker talents and rotations below.

We maintain a page with gearing advice for the current patch, including Best in Slot alternatives from different content sources. You can find a link to this below:

Once you have started to gear if you are looking to further optimize your character you will need to make sure that you have the appropriate consumables, gems, enchants, and more. We have a dedicated page for exactly this, as shown below, as well as the stats page, where you can find more information on which stats are valuable and why for Augmentation Evoker.
