The Augmentation Evoker got here to World of Warcraft with patch 10.1.5 final week, bringing a complete new kind of DPS to the sport. For the uninitiated, this new spec works by buffing occasion members to bump their injury numbers quite than melting faces itself. It is similar to the Dancer from Ultimate Fantasy 14 or the Bard from Dungeons & Dragons—mainly, when an Augmentation Evoker’s within the group, everybody does higher.
So clearly they have been getting kicked out of teams for no motive. A reddit thread on the World of Warcraft subreddit emerged with a compilation of screenshots from the Wyrmrest Temple discord, neighborhood server for Evokers. Typing “!augdps” within the augmentation channel may have Carlygos, the server’s pleasant bot, drop an ever-evolving montage of individuals lacking the purpose:

WoWhead confirms that because it stands, widespread injury meter addons aren’t correctly monitoring the Evoker’s contributions to their group. Regardless of Blizzard’s mission assertion that they don’t seem to be designing the sport round them, WoW’s numbers-obsessed neighborhood mixed with a brand new experimental specialisation is a recipe for catastrophe.
