The “Starter Kit”
Augmentation is easy to learn but hard to master. In this section, I want to give you a Starter kit that mentions the nuances and helps you get into the spec.
There are a few rules you want to hold onto to have an easy start with Augmentation.
- Use Prescience on preferred buff targets. You can also cast Prescience while targeting an enemy so it smart-buffs random dps players.
- Cast Ebon Might whenever possible, this buff on allies is your main damage source
- Cast Breath of Eons on cooldown, combine this with your allies cooldowns to get the most value out of it
- Use Fire Breath and Upheaval during Ebon Might, usually rank 1 casts are the best option
- Spend your essence on Eruption, preferably during Ebon Might since the buff gets extended when casting Eruption
- Fill with Living Flame / Chrono Flames
Cooldown Usage
Breath of Eons gives Augmentation an immense potential of burst dps. You want to combine as many dps cooldowns from buffed players into your Breath of Eons window. Note that you can juice up your allies even more by using on-use trinkets and potions during that time window. As well as get incredible value from damage amps on bosses such as Nexus-King Salhadaar and Dimensius!
Defensives
You have a few defensive abilities with different use-cases. I’ll go over them to give you a general idea where they can be used.
Obsidian Scales: Flat damage reduction, great to survive lethal abilities.
Renewing Blaze: A passive that buffs your Obsidian Scales. It stores damage taken and releases it as healing over time.
Zephyr: Reduces AoE damage and gives a neat movement speed boost. This also buffs your party so make sure to use it whenever there is AoE damage going on.
Dispels and Utility
An underrated and unique way to express skill! With Rescue, multiple dispels, knockbacks, a stun, roots, slows, a soothe (this list could go even longer) Augmentation has tons of utility. Check in details how many casts of what utility spell you had over the course of a dungeon. Is anything flying under the radar? Are you missing out on crucial dispels? Also, take a critical look at your UI and maybe you find a way of making use of your utility a bit more convenient.
