Dragonflight Fractures in Time Update Development Notes

NEW EVOKER SPECIALIZATION: AUGMENTATION

Emberthal and Ebys­si­an are wor­king toge­ther to rele­a­se the Black dra­gon­fli­ght essen­ce that had been sipho­ned from the Dracthyr during the­ir long stasis, unloc­king memo­ries and powers for­got­ten to them. All Evo­kers now can cho­o­se to explo­re Aze­ro­th as a new spe­ci­a­li­zati­on: Augmentation.

Aug­men­tati­on is a Damage Dea­ler role that uses the essen­ce of the Black and Bron­ze dra­gon­fli­ghts to ampli­fy the abi­li­ties of near­by allies. The­ir pla­ysty­le cen­ters on empowering allies to incre­a­se the­ir damage out­put, and using the Evoker’s direct damage spells to impro­ve these empower­ments’ effects. Augmentation’s core capa­bi­li­ties will feel fami­li­ar to Evo­ker pla­yers, such as spen­ding Essen­ce, cas­ting empower spells, and using the­ir mobi­li­ty to navi­ga­te the batt­le­field. However, the spe­ci­a­li­zati­on also intro­du­ces many new tools for the Evo­ker to mani­pu­la­te the envi­ron­ment in the­ir favor, and assist the­ir allies.

The quest “The 5th Essen­ce” is avai­la­ble for Evo­kers to try out the­ir new spe­ci­a­li­zati­on and what it means to the dracthyr at lar­ge. The quest is still under deve­lo­p­ment and will be upda­ted on the PTR throu­gh the weeks to come.

Aug­men­tati­on has a fully pla­ya­ble talent tree, and many new spells for pla­yers to enjoy. A few spells are high­li­gh­ted below, but see our web article for more infor­mati­on, and check out Aug­men­tati­on on the PTR star­ting today!

• Ebon Might – Incre­a­se your 4 nea­rest allies’ pri­ma­ry stat by a per­cen­tage of your own, and cause your Erup­ti­on to deal more damage for 10 seconds. Your other spells extend the durati­on of these effects. 1.5 second cast, 30 seconds cooldown.
• Uphea­val – Gather earthen power bene­ath your enemy’s feet and send them hurt­ling upwards, dea­ling Vol­ca­nic damage to them and near­by ene­mies. Empowering expands the area of effect. 2.5 second empower, 40 second cooldown.
• Bre­ath of Eons – Fly to the tar­ge­ted locati­on, expo­sing Tem­po­ral Wounds on ene­mies in your path for 10 seconds. Tem­po­ral Wounds accu­mu­la­te a por­ti­on of damage dealt by your allies, and then cri­ti­cally stri­ke the ene­my for that amount. 1.5 minu­te cool­down. Repla­ces Deep Breath.
• Dra­co­nic Attu­ne­ments (Pas­si­ve) – Learn to attu­ne your­self to the essen­ce of the Black or Bron­ze dragonflights: 
  • Black Attu­ne­ment grants you and your 4 nea­rest allies incre­a­sed maxi­mum health.
  • Bron­ze Attu­ne­ment grants you and your 4 nea­rest allies incre­a­sed move­ment speed.
