Weapon enchants -Level 40+ ???Follow

#1 Aug 21 2008 at 9:21 AM Rating: Decent
Just wondering what weapon enchants would be recommended for leveling from 40-70. I've just been throwing fiery on each upgrade I get, but how does that stack with other enchants. (Not including the high end enchants like goose, executioner, etc.) I've searched and searched but can't find any "average dps" for enchants. Anybody know of a site or link that could narrow it down a bit?

Thanks for the help.

I usually use fiery to save money, it's a good cheap dps enchant. Otherwise I would go with mongoose. Most of the time from 60-70 you get upgrades too often to make any enchant really worth it.

I always assumed Fiery was the way to go. At 6 ppm and 40 damage, it's an additional 4 dps. It can crit but I believe it's based on your own spell crit chance (so, pretty low).

The other cheap enchant is +5 damage if you can find it. Assuming a 2.6 speed weapon, that works out to ~1.9 dps on non-hasted white damage. That's assuming 23 strikes per minute. Flurry, stormstrike, and WF would have to get you up to 48 strikes/minute to get up to the Fiery standard of 4 dps. You could get a faster weapon to up the enchant's dps, but that screws over windfury. Probably a poor choice.

The high-end enchants aren't worth the price while leveling, but middle-of-the-road Crusader would be good for a weapon you know you'll keep for awhile: it averages to +50 AP or ~3.5 dps on main-hand non-hasted white damage, not counting the heal.

Boy oh boy thats some number crunching... I was just gonna say fiery is a fairly cheap enchant for the leveling enhancement, if your using any other spec, honestly its not worth spending the money for the stats enchants at lower levels.

I tried out +4 damage on my paladin, and it is no where as good as fiery. And as mentioned above all enchants that are newer are too expensive and are considered end-game enchants.

I sure hope that bliz thinks about this for the expansion, they need to bring out just a few middle of the road enchants for weapons. This lacking of an equivalent of firey/icy in the new enchants isnt good. Fiery and icy are a good way to level enchanting at lower levels, and I imagine trying to level from 300-375 if someone makes a toon after WoLK comes out is gonna have a really hard time doing it as the enchants are good, but people are going to move on to where the mats are readily available.

Fiery is the one to go for. The damage isn't spectacular, but it can crit, and it counts as a melee crit for the purposes of Flurry, Focus and Rage; you should notice increased uptimes for these effects.
