Augmentation Evoker DPS Stat Priority — The War Within (11.1.0)
On this page, you will find out the optimal stat priority for your Augmentation Evoker. We first present the stat priority, before delving into more complex explanations. Our content is updated for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.1.0).
Best Stats for Augmentation Evoker in The War Within
Augmentation's Stat Priority prefers Mastery over its other stats and
wishes to avoid versatility at all costs. Chronowarden's
Double-time increases the value of Critical Strike Chance to
be approximately equal to Mastery while
Scalecommander increases
haste with
Bombardments and
Extended Battle.
Stat Priority for Augmentation Evoker in The War Within
Chronowarden Stat Priority
- Intellect;
- Haste, up to around 15-20%
- Mastery
- Haste (Over 20%) = Critical Stike
- Versatility.
Chronowarden's node
Double-time brings Critical Strike
Chance up in power.
It is worth stressing that all non-versatility stats are very close in value,
and that this is merely a rough guideline. We first target a reasonable
level of haste to ensure comfort as well as to maximise the effects of our
other talents and boost the power of our Mastery via
Motes of Possibility then stack as much Mastery as possible. The
small amount of Critical Strike Chance we get from gearing is still valuable
because of
Double-time.
Scalecommander Stat Priority
- Intellect;
- Haste, up to around 15-20%
- Mastery
- Haste (over 20%)
- Critical Strike
- Versatility.
It is worth stressing that all non-versatility stats are very close in value,
and that this is merely a rough guideline. We first target a reasonable
level of haste to ensure comfort as well as to maximise the effects of our
other talents and boost the power of our Mastery via
Motes of Possibility then stack as much Mastery as possible.
Whilst this is fairly generic advice for your gearing, to get more accurate information simming your character is always best to get an idea of what gear your character should use for any given combat scenario. It is important to read the caveats mentioned on the Simulations page with respect to Augmentation as there are more of them compared to simming other Specialisations. You can find this linked below:

Getting a Better Understanding of Augmentation Evoker Stats
Intellect is your primary stat. You should look for this stat in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Spell Power, which increases the damage of your spells.
Mastery ( Mastery: Timewalker) causes empower spells you cast to
give a DPS
Shifting Sands which grants Versatility to another ally
for 10 seconds. Additionally, it increases the duration of Shifting Sands,
Breath of Eons, Ebon Might, and other helpful Auras.
Critical Strike increases your chance for your abilities to deal
200% damage. Sands of Time means your
Ebon Might extension
effects can Critically Strike, increasing the amount of extension granted
by 50%.
Haste increases your spell casting speed (including Empowered Spells) and the tick rate of your periodic effects.
Versatility increases all your damage and healing done, and decreases all damage taken.
