Evoker Augmentation Rotation & Opener

Built from the current top-100 Mythic parses on WarcraftLogs — the real opener sequences, casts-per-minute and buff uptimes of the best Augmentation players, not theorycraft.

5 top logs sampled Median kill 3:30
AI coach — raid
How to play: Augmentation's damage IS your allies' damage — Ebon Might on cooldown (96.5% self uptime), Prescience pre-applied to burst players (6.7/min). Essence feeds Eruption (top players: 19.6/min); Upheaval and Fire Breath on cooldown, with Tip the Scales for an instant max-empower during big windows. Watch: Ebon Might's remaining duration — if it drops, your raid-wide buff chain breaks; keep Prescience cycling on two targets with no gaps.

Real Opener Sequences — Vorasius

First ~12 casts of actual top-ranked kills. Trinkets and racials vary by setup; the skill order is what to copy.

CPM = median casts per minute across the sampled top kills. If you're far below on a core ability, that's usually the first thing to fix.

Mythic+ Differences

8 top key runs sampledMedian run 30:32
AI coach — Mythic+
How to play: Same hands as raid — Ebon Might permanent, Prescience rotating, Eruption as the main button, breaths on cooldown. The five-man extra: never stop casting (Unrelenting Siege's 92% uptime depends on it), even through transitions. Watch: sync Ebon Might with pull rhythm — refresh it before the tank grabs the next pack.
