The introduction of the Augmentation Evoker specialization in World of Warcraft has caused a significant shift in the game’s meta. This new spec has brought about a new role, Support, which has become essential for high-level PvE content. Players are now discussing how the meta could further evolve and what Blizzard should do to bring other classes up to speed with the prominence of the Support role.
One popular suggestion is for Blizzard to focus on developing more specs for the existing classes rather than introducing new classes. This would allow for greater diversity in the meta and build upon the current gameplay. With the sudden emergence of the Evoker class, Augmentation spec, and Support role, other classes are in need of tools to catch up.
A player in a Reddit thread proposed a change to the structure of five-player dungeons. Currently, dungeons follow a 1/1/3 format with one Tank, one Healer, and three DPS players. However, if more classes were to have their own support specs, it could replace one of the DPS slots with a dedicated Support role. Another suggestion was to make dungeons six-player content, but this idea was met with concerns about the need to modify mechanics in existing dungeons.
Regardless of how Blizzard addresses this issue, it is evident that the Support role has a future in WoW, especially considering its impact during the Dragonflight stage. With an upcoming expansion announcement expected in the next few months, it is likely that the Support role will be officially solidified in the future update. This evolution of the meta will provide players who have been limited to playing Augmentation with the opportunity to explore other options.
