Augmentation Evoker DPS Stat Priority — The War Within (11.1.7)

Augmentation's Stat Priority prefers Haste 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 Haste.

Chronowarden Stat Priority

1. Intellect
2. Haste = Critical Strike = Mastery ( Motes of Possibility builds)
3. Mastery
4. Versatility

Chronowarden's node Double-time brings Critical Strike Chance up in power.

Currently, item level is by far the most important aspect of gearing for non jewellery slots. On Jewellery it can be worth dropping a small amount of item level for better stats as Augmentation does not scale very well with Secondary Stats. Augmentations best stat currently is Haste with Critical Strike being approximately equal in value for Chronowarden because of Double-time. Mastery is close behind Haste and Critical strike with Versatility further behind.

3. Mastery ( Motes of Possibility builds)
4. Critical Strike
5. Mastery
6. Versatility

Currently, item level is by far the most important aspect of gearing for non jewellery slots. On Jewellery it can be worth dropping a small amount of item level for better stats as Augmentation does not scale very well with Secondary Stats. Augmentations best stat currently is Haste with Critical Strike being slightly worse. Without playing a Motes build Mastery is quite far behind, approximately equal to Mastery for non-Motes builds. Versatility performs better due to Scalecommanders higher personal damage but still is a low value stat.

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.

The gems, enchants, and consumables you will use are directly derived from your stat priority and you can find our advice on this topic in our dedicated page.

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.
