Augmentation Evoker is last here, and that means nothing

Augmentation is a support specialisation. Almost all of its contribution is damage it adds to other players, and a solo patchwerk sim measures exactly none of that. Its own damage being lowest on this chart is a fact about the measurement, not about the spec. It is greyed out and marked above for that reason. Do not read this chart as a reason to play or not play it.

Why some specs dip at 3 targets and recover at 5

Every spec here runs its single-target talent build at every target count — the same build the reference player logged. So the multi-target columns answer "what does this build do when more enemies show up", not "what does this spec do when specced for AoE".

That produces some genuinely non-monotonic curves. Arms Warrior scores higher at 2 targets than at 3, because its cleave doubles perfectly on two and then stops scaling while the rotation shifts to weaker filler. It is not a bug — we verified it by re-running the same target counts as separate sims with no profilesets involved, and the numbers agreed to 0.05%. A spec that would re-talent for AoE will do better than its column here suggests.

Treat gaps under about 3% as noise. The sims converge to a 0.05% error, but the underlying profiles come from one logged player per spec, and a different player's gear or talents would move a spec further than that. Use this to see the shape — who scales into multi-target, who falls off — not to pick between two neighbours.
