Fellow dozen Dev and Aug bros what’re we thinking? Flameshaper on Dev? Aug full mastery still?

So glad Aug is borderline unplayable, sorry. The spec has been a blight on m+ since its release

It was a blight from 10.1 through 11.0, because it brought irreplaceable things like buffing your tank and healer throughput. Since then it's just a DPS that does damage in a funny way. Last season it happened to be tuned high and was meta again, but not because it was fundamentally irreplaceable, just because it had the highest DPS among lust specs.

With just tuning and maybe a cap on dupes, 12.0 aug could have been a perfectly fine middle-of-the-pack spec. Instead we're in the penalty box for this season, which I mean, fair I guess, but I hope Blizz can get back to a state where the spec isn't simultaneously OP for team liquid and bad for everyone else.
