But because a support-style DPS role had never been done before, Augmentation didn’t arrive for launch.
Augmentation works similarly to the Evoker’s first DPS spec, Devastation.
Black magic, then, was still missing.
“So we had this question, what did Black dragon magic do before Neltharion got corrupted?”
And thus, the idea of Augmentation Evoker was born.
It was designed that way so you can make the spec more approachable.
Ebon Might, for example, will prioritize DPS players.
“It’s been a goal for us to ensure Augmentation is a damage dealer,” Berger said.
“They aren’t a new fourth role in the game.
I certainly don’t expect them to be required for a Mythic raiding group.
You shouldn’t have to have an Augmentation Evoker in your raid to be successful.
A lot of the design decisions we’ve made are to achieve that goal.”
