Once people finally realize their utility and/or DPS meters figure out how to show their contributions, Augmentation feels like it's going to become mandatory in the meta. Or maybe it is already now?
When would you NOT want to bring it? The utility and damage/heals buffing is always going to outweigh a third DPS, unless they nerf Aug to the point that it's literally just another DPS spec.
Is that necessarily a bad thing, though? If people actually end up being OK with doing less damage because they buff the group (which IMO they will), could we see other classes get utility specs added? Personally I don't like the overall aesthetic/playstyle of Evoker, but I'd KILL for a Pally utility spec to play.
I for one am excited to see if this shakes up the "required" group comp to Tank / Healer / Support / 2 DPS, so long as Evoker isn't the only ever support class. Thoughts?
Once they start tuning content to expect you to have an Aug. cos if they don’t then groups having one will have an easy time.
