Ebon Might
The core part of Augmentation's kit: a buff on all nearby allies that is Augmentation's main damage contribution.

When The Scalecommander raid build moves this point to Interwoven Threads.
Plot the Future
Juices up your Breath of Eons windows by granting Fury of the Aspects for 15 seconds.
Tomorrow, Today
Adds an extra second to the Time Skip channel, adding another 10 seconds of cooldown reduction for a total of 30 seconds.
When Try both options and play what feels best, since the natural alignment with adds or other important moments outweighs the small default bias.
Interwoven Threads
Replaces Time Skip with a passive that reduces the cooldown of all your spells by 10%.
When Swap Overlord to it for consistency; the Scalecommander raid build moves the Rumbling Earth point to it because it synergises well with Wingleader.
Overlord
Makes Breath of Eons cast Eruption on up to the first three enemies hit; each hit spawns a Motes of Possibility.
When Take it in the Chronowarden raid and high-key builds; move the point to Interwoven Threads for a smoother, roughly 0.5% weaker experience.
Mighty Inferno
Inferno's Blessing's damage is increased by 40%, and your effects that extend Ebon Might also extend Inferno's Blessing.
Changed New Talent in Patch 12.0.5
Shifting Sands
The Versatility buff granted to a nearby ally by Mastery: Timewalker when you cast an empower spell; also one of the buffs a Motes of Possibility mote can grant.
When Try to be nearby players in their cooldown windows when casting empower spells; on pull always try to stand next to the highest burst classes.
Temporal Wound
The Breath of Eons debuff whose damage Chrono Ward converts into a shield for the player.
Changed Changed in Patch 12.0
Seismic Slam
An incredibly niche and rarely taken talent that allows Landslide to stun enemies that are in mid-air.
When Relatively difficult to land and usually unnecessary, since the spell used to put the enemy in the air would already have stopped the cast.
Molten Embers
A spec tree talent that Blast Furnace synergizes with, making it even more powerful.
Changed Removed in Patch 12.0.5
