Augmentation Evoker Mythic+ Guide

• Mass Eruption
  • Fire Breath and Upheaval changes your next Eruption into a Mass Eruption that either strikes up to 3 targets or deals increased damage for each target less than 3.
  • Mass Eruption can stack up to 2 which means you can cast both empower abilities back to back.
• Bombardments Is the major interaction of Scalecommander.
  • Bombardments does not pandemic which allows you to cast two Mass Eruptions in a row without losing debuff uptime.
  • This also maximizes Wingleader and allows you to make Breath of Eons a 1.5 minute cooldown when optimized.
  • Diverted Power significantly increases the uptime of Momentum Shift.

• Hardened Scales and Nimble Flyer are both extremely effective defensive options and such should almost always be taken.
• Slipstream currently restores both charges of your Hover if Aerial Mastery is talented.
  • This can be extremely useful in certain fights if additional Hover uptime is needed.

• Maneuverability
  • Causes your Breath of Eons to always be aimed in front of your character and can now be steered.
  • This also makes Breath of Eons fly the entire duration unless you cancel it early by pressing the ability once more.
  • Be careful to not spam your Breath of Eons keybind as you might cancel it before it hits your target while still going on cooldown.

When to use this Spec
