Alright, our enchanter got Soulfrost from illhoof last night. I'm a Warlock. I've been using Nathrezim Mindblade for a while now, with +40 spell damage slapped on it. I'm thinking about getting Soulfrost on it, but one of my guildie told me that it was a waste of gold.
Now i don't see how this is a waste of gold, since i'll probably be using Nathrezim Mindblade for a long time. Our guild has gruul on farm status, nothing else. We're working toward getting Halazzi down in ZA. The next upgrades after nathrezim mindblade would be from Jan'Alai and Leotheras the Blind (and a possible staff if we kill Nalorakk and Akil'zon on timer, but i'm not counting on that too much).
So, is it a waste of gold to get Soulfrost on Nathrezim Mindblade ?

No, not if you'll be using it for a long time.
It usually works out so that if you spend the gold on soulfrost you'll get a new weapon pretty soon and if you don't then you'll be waiting for a long time for that upgrade hehe.
I walked around with the staff from curator for six months before I got the Nexus Key from Kael'thas so I guess I could've spent the gold on soulfrost for it.
EDIT: LoL, I got rated down for saying that if you know you'll keep it for some time it's worth spending the gold on a better enchant?

Even if the Mindblade is the best you can get PVE wise its not a smart idea. the Item isnt good enough warrant that enchant. Do arena and get the S2 Spellblade which is IMO worth the enchant.
I view that enchant as something i wouldent go for tell i was clearing SSC/TK and moving into Hyjal. the need just isnt there tell then.

Stupid rationale. It's a Kara level enchant. If you've got the money or the time to farm mats, get it. Saying it's not worth it is like saying it's not worth the upgrade from Mystic to Runic spellthread or that it's not worth it to enchant your gear. Take the upgrades.

What he said. Every chance you can get to upgrade your total stats/damage without having to rely on a drop...do it. Your raid leader may not say anything, but they look, and they appreciate it. I know I did.

Still the savings from NOT going with soulfrost and just getting 40 spell dmg means you can properly enchant the rest of your gear, level a proffession, get a good start on on epic mount, the 12 extra shadow damage isnt worth the cost tell your 0/21/40 and in ssc/tk and beyond.

Stupid logic again. Gold is a nearly infinite resource in WoW, given the time to dedicate to finding it. A Nathrezim Mindblade is conceivably going to last you until Leotheras in SSC, although the Hexblade of Halazzi is another good option. Saying "don't enchant it with soulfrost, save the money for another enchant" is a philosophy easily applied to a variety of situations. Runic Spellthread, Spell Power to bracers/gloves, getting Exalted for the head/shoulder enchants, etc. Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's not worth getting. Get ALL of the best enchants.

I never said that Soulfrost isnt worth getting, its just not worth spending the money to put it on the Mindblade IMO because the S2 spellblade is allot better and very easy to get (since your on a "get the best kick atm"). But i forgot that for the sake of your argument you consider money as no object. I guess in your case not getting anything less then the best is "stupid logic" but from where i come from not everyone can drop 1000g on the mats for this enchant.
The logical would say that 1000g isnt worth the 14 extra shadow damage (also the lack of 40 fire damage) when a better weapon is easily within reach.

The Fang of the Leviathan never dropped during the six months we had him on farm.
You never know how long it will be until that item drops...could be tomorrow, could be never. I got The Nexus Key instead. I'm very happy about this of course, but I wouldn't have thought that it would drop on our second Kael kill while I'd never see Leos sword...
If you've got the mats for it, get the enchant.

Wow, prices on your server are almost double mine.
12 VC - 240
10 LPS- 200
8 GPE - 80
6 P.Wa- 120
6 P.Sh- 80
------------
Total - 720g
Yes, it's more expensive than 8 LPS and 80 GPE. However, the primals are easily farmable. Go to Skettis. Go to Void Ridge. Go to Slimir Lake. Go to Oshu'gun. If you farm it, it is cheap. If you want to excel, at least try.

I have most of the mats for soulfrost, lacking 8 large prismatic shards. And my guild has progressed in za, now we kill nalorakk, akil'zon, halazzi and jan'alai. So far, Jan'Alai dropped the hunter chestpiece and the healer shield, no luck for me :( .
The long and short of it is:
If you expect to keep ahold of it for a good deal of time, get the enchant. If you are currently farming content (or will be soon) that drops better than the mindblade, save the soulfrost mats for that.
Whatever that content may be. ZA, SSC, Arena epics. I'm getting my S3 spellblade in two weeks, there's no point in blowing 800g in mats on the mindblade for 12 extra +damage, or say you're the caster with the most DKP and you're farming leo.
