Comment by DasronDw guys, I'll ask.... soooo.... what's going on with shadow priest..!Comment by JereicoLove to see these showcases; the art team knocked it out of the park with Augmentation's spell effects. Great job Ethan!Comment by EasyPriestLove to see these showcases; the art team knocked it out of the park with Augmentation's spell effects. Great job Ethan!Comment by NewermoreOkay dragon does cool things, now can you please change animation for defile?Comment by durf24It all looks good visually but I will never forgive them for what aug has done to the meta of the game.Comment by QualityJeverageGood lord you'd think you folks had never been through the introduction of a new class/spec before.Comment by DrynixI wish we had acces to that room to see actual yards on spells. But it also shows that even that room is off. In the upheaval vid you can see the spell be empowered to rank 3. Which makes it a 9yard radius. You can see a circle for 8 yards and 10 yards. The animation is at the edge of 10 yards are far far away from 8 yards.

I really wish we had some clear indications on what a yard in this game actually is instead of guestimating.

All the spells look sick though. Spec is a visual feast to play with.Comment by OofaDrac'thyr race and class are a big failure as a wholeComment by LeomelatiWhich spell is the second one?Comment by NarhwalsCool, now announce more support roles at blizzcon. Augment was a huge success, but suffers from being the only supportComment by DryknoxWhen you want to see comments about people complaining that Blizzard didn't do something for them or that they love with just go to any evoker post.

You don't like the class/race? Don't play it

You complain about a god comp that always ask for evokers? There's always been a god comp, and there will always be one, as well as classes that have powerful abilities or are just overtuned just like how DHs were so over powered they could solo M+ dungeons or overtuned abilities/spells like how infinite stars corruption stacking basically one-hit K.O.'ed players and bosses or as simple as how long mass dispel/power infusion/arcane torrent were extremely useful and powerful spells before getting nerfed

You don't like the fact that evokers got a expansion that highlights them? ...Well, what can I say? Wrath of the Lich king for Death knights, Mists of Pandaria for monks/pandas even Legion for demon hunters, having -one- expansion featuring them does not seem bad at all considering all other classes have had -more than two expansions- of development and content made available for them, did you know that evokers do not have class hall? class hall mount? mage tower appearances or even be able to take on their own mage tower challenges? pandaria challenge mode tmog sets? even old expansions armor sets, hell, they can't even transmog the same armor pieces as all other races in their (supposed) real form. There are even some classes that have cool stuff that other classes don't, like warlocks having the green fire quest when people have asked that for other classes for years.

Just go play the game. People do 28s with out an Aug. It's fine.Comment by GahzpachoLook, I've only been able to play DF during testing time (I have a busy year). The presentation of the Dractyr didn't appeal too much to me...

Until I saw them In-game. Not only the model itself, but the characterization they have been given. Created as war machines, in reality they are very real beings, with their feelings, their preferences. In a way they look so innocent, showing that naive curiosity about the world they belong to.

A great addition, an original class. And a great animation job!

I just love this game. Every damn complaint I read inspires me to leave my impressions so enthusiastically.Comment by V4PoRiZeRHonestly the vfx is awesome and you are a very talented human being please take your hand and pat yourself on the back for me !
