Tier Sets

  • (2) Set Bonus: Upheaval deals 30% increased damage and increases the damage of your next 2 Eruption casts by 30%.
  • (4) Set Bonus: Ebon Might increases primary stats by an additional 0.4% of your own every 2 seconds it remains active, up to 2%.

The 2 Set Bonus gives you more reliability in dealing damage you deal on your own, which usually feels great since this means you can make more meaningful decisions in prioritizing damage on the correct targets.

The 4 Set Bonus passively buffs Ebon Might over its duration.

Both Set Bonuses don’t affect your rotation and so are easy to adapt to.

Trinkets

Trinkets for Augmentation are a bit different from other “normal” dps specs. Depending on the damage profile of the classes you want to buff, different trinkets can perform better or worse. However Breath of eons lines up well with 2 minute cooldowns so having a trinket that can support this synergy even more is usually a great fit!

Some good on use trinkets are:

Spymaster’s Web - This trinket stacks a buff on yourself that slightly increases your Intellect. When used these stacks are consumed and converted into a bigger intellect buff per stack. You want to consume stacks with every Breath of Eons. If you find yourself at the end of a fight / dungeon and want to get some extra intellect in you can weave in some casts since the trinkets cooldown is only 20 seconds.

Signet of the Priory - A simple 2 minute cooldown stat buff. Noteworthy is that this trinket also buffs your party (up to 4 people).

Following up on the second slot you want to have any trinket that benefits you with a stat boost and/or a flat damage proc.

Ara-Kara Sacbrood - A mix between a stat boost and a damage proc.

Empowering Crystal of Anub’ikkaj - Super simple stat stick granting random secondary stats.

Embellishments

Embellishments & Crafted Gear are in a weird spot by now. The short version is, they deal close to zero dmg in comparison to what we are used to from Dragonflight. This said, the chances for Embellishment tuning are quite high. Still there are some interesting ones that could, depending on tuning of course, stand out.

Dawnthread Lining: With Double-time from the Chronowarden tree Critical Strike has more value on Augmentation than ever before. Depending on the uptime you can get on this embellishment it’s worth having a closer look at!

Sanctified Torchbreacher’s Grips: This embellishment is a fixed item on your gloves slot. The passively working damage proc could bring some good value.

Elemental Focusing Lens: A passively working damage proc.
