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 Icon Double-time increases the value of Critical Strike Chance to be approximately equal to Mastery while Scalecommander increases haste with Bombardments Icon Bombardments and Extended Battle Icon Extended Battle.

Chronowarden Stat Priority

  1. Intellect;
  2. Haste, up to around 15-20%
  3. Mastery
  4. Haste (Over 20%) = Critical Stike
  5. Versatility.

Chronowarden's node Double-time Icon 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 Icon 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 Icon Double-time.

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.

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 Icon Mastery: Timewalker) causes empower spells you cast to give a DPS Shifting Sands Icon 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 Icon Sands of Time means your Ebon Might Icon 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.
