WoW's new specialisation deals damage by buffing everyone else, so of course it's getting booted from groups for 'low DPS'

pcgamer.com:

The Augmentation Evoker came to World of Warcraft with patch 10.1.5 last week, bringing a whole new type of DPS to the game. For the uninitiated, this new spec works by buffing party members to bump their damage numbers rather than melting faces itself. It's comparable to the Dancer from Final Fantasy 14 or the Bard from Dungeons & Dragons—basically, when an Augmentation Evoker's in the group, everyone does better.

So obviously they've been getting kicked out of groups for no reason. A reddit thread on the World of Warcraft subreddit emerged with a compilation of screenshots from the Wyrmrest Temple discord, community server for Evokers. Typing "!augdps" in the augmentation channel will have Carlygos, the server's friendly bot, drop an ever-evolving montage of people missing the point:

WoWhead confirms that as it stands, popular damage meter addons aren't properly tracking the Evoker's contributions to their group. Despite Blizzard's mission statement that they aren't designing the game around them, WoW's numbers-obsessed community combined with a new experimental specialisation is a recipe for disaster.

These DPS meters will however track the increased damage of the Augmentation Evoker's party—so if you're getting chewed out for «low damage», chances are it's by a DPS with numbers that are much higher than they would otherwise be. A success they owe to you, the person they're yelling at. 

This is despite the fact that the specialisation is—according to the community—really good. «One side of the [World of Warcraft community] is over here kicking [Augmentation Evokers], while the high end of the [community is saving] a group spot for them» writes Reddit user TempAcct20005.
