Augmentation Evoker DPS Guide — The War Within (11.2)

Augmentation Evoker received hotfixes on September 9th, buffing Scalecommander. Bombardments was buffed by 25% and Disintegrate cast by the Commandos from Evoker Scalecommander 11.2 Class Set 2pc 10%. When combined both of these changes are approximately a 3% buff to Scalecommander damage and we now recommend playing it in all situations.

In Patch 11.2 Augmentation Evoker received a 5% aura buff which does not cause any changes to builds or talents. Additionally, Scalecommander's Bombardments has received bugfixes that make it scale with your Crit Chance and most damage modifiers. Notably, it still does not work with Molten Embers.

As we are currently in the first few weeks of the Patch class tuning is currently heavily in flux and is subject to change at any moment. Augmentation Evoker is strongly affected by Tuning even when it is done to other Classes. Please make sure to check back when tuning happens after the raid launch.

In Patch 11.2 you will get access to new Hero Talent specific Tier Sets
With the new Tier Set Chronowarden sees a significant loss in strength of Critical Strike Chance and Versatility compared to the previous Season's Tier Set. The increased item level also boosts the power of Mastery meaning you play Motes of Possibility for all content and stack Mastery.
As Scalecommander you can choose to play Motes of Possibility and invest in mastery or play for personal damage without Motes of Possibility and invest in primarily Haste, Critical Strike Chance and Versatility.
For more information on the new Tier Sets see our Gear and Hero Talents pages linked below.

An additional feature of Season 3 is the new Artifact cloak item: Reshii Wraps. This cloak can slowly be upgraded to 730 ilvl over course of the season. This is the only cloak that will be available throughout the Season 3 and provides role specific bonuses which as a DPS this provides a small damage proc that deals approximately 2.5%-3.5% of your damage (depending on if you have the boots or not).
Your Reshii Wraps only has a single secondary stat which is determined by the Fiber you have socketed. Fibers can be obtained in two different ways: Rare Fibers can be bought from vendors and Epic Fibers can be crafted by Tailors using Work Orders. The Epic Fibers provide more Stats than their Rare counterparts but are otherwise functionally identical.

Your Reshii Wraps can be improved by wearing Interloper's Chain Boots which drop from Adarus Duskblaze in Manaforge Omega. The effect of these boots is strong enough to make Hero Track shoes outperform Myth Track regular boots but we suggest simming your own character to make sure.

Augmentation Evoker received no specific changes for Patch 11.1.7. This patch added a new accessibility feature called the Combat Assistant. This gives you a single button that will automatically cycle through your rotational spells as you cast them at a slight cooldown penalty to give you an easier time approaching the game. This is currently between a 6% and 9% DPS loss to use while pressing your major Cooldowns manually. For more information check out the section on the Rotation Page:
