Best MoP Remix Leveling Talents for Augmentation Evoker

Augmentation Evoker is a support-oriented specialization and as such has significantly lower personal damage output compared to Devastation Evoker. If you choose to level primarily through dungeons this will not be an issue but you may have a smoother leveling experience in the open world via questing as Devastation. If you would like to level as Devastation instead we suggest following our Devastation Evoker Leveling Guide.

Below, you will find our recommended leveling build and talent pickup order for your Augmentation Evoker in MoP Remix. There are various ways of leveling in MoP Remix, and we offer some builds for the most relevant ways.

4.4.

Prismatic Gems and Stats

In MoP Remix you get your secondary stats from Prismatic Gems and the single fixed Secondary stats that are on your pieces of gear. As you you start unlocking all Gem slots. The massive amount of damage coming from tinker gems increase the value of non-Mastery stats, although Mastery is still Augmentations main focus.

Early on you will want to get enough haste to feel comfortable (~10-15%) then try and get 12% Mastery. After that, increase Haste and Critical Strike Chance till you have approximately equal investment in all three stats. After this you will want to increase Mastery to 18-20% then get 5-10% Versatility (Brilliance Icon Brilliance and your Cloak of Infinite Potential Icon Cloak of Infinite Potential should provide most of the Versatility early on).

After this you will want to keep investing in more Mastery, Haste and Critical Strike Chance bringing Mastery up to ~30% and Haste and Critical Strike chance to ~50%.

As you approach maximum item level your goal is to have 45.9% Mastery (36000 from gear/cloak. Over 36000 is 100% DR for Mastery). This is the maximum achievable amount of Mastery. After that you want to get ~70-80% Critical Strike Chance (the rest comes from Lightning Rod Icon Lightning Rod) and 50-60% Haste (Enkindle Icon Enkindle and Windweaver Icon Windweaver will bring you up to 126%). Any excess stats you have at this point should be in Versatility giving you ~70-80% Versatility.
