Introduction
Hey Guys! My name is Matteo. I’ve been raiding in the top 20 scene since Sanctum of Domination and joined Method after Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible as a multiclass range DPS. I started playing Evoker in the beta of Dragonflight and picked up Augmentation as soon as it was available on PTR.
Augmentation is a DPS spec with a twist! Your main focus is on buffing allies in the most efficient way. Buffing the right allies at the correct moment is the bread and butter of the spec and the damage you deal is highly affected by knowing who's going to blast on that dps meter for the next segment of the fight.
By providing tons of utility with knockbacks, dispels, shields, damage reductions or even rescuing your friends into a good position, augmentation is a great fit for numerous encounters and always has options to excel in raid and mythic + scenarios. No matter what the content requires, you have it to solve the situation!
What has changed
The most important change is of course the Hero Talent Trees. These have their own section in the guide where both options are analyzed and explained in depth.
Another big change coming with The War Within is Spatial Paradox moving over to the Class Tree. This benefits Devastation and Preservation since they couldn’t access Spatial Paradox before. For Augmentation this is a minor utility nerf since we now have to decide between Time Spiral and Spatial Paradox.
