So I just got a new weapon out of Ulduar, and I went off to get it enchanted with Potency, but then I remembered there were 2 new enchants this patch: Blood Draining and Blade Ward. I'm actually not too impressed with the Blood Draining, but the Blade Ward does sounds pretty good.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with these new enchants yet and could give an opinion on whether or not either of them would be worth the cost to get, or if I'd be better off sticking with Potency?

One of the posts on wowhead states:

Quote:

As MT for 3 wings of naxx, I had a 13% uptime on the proc and it contributed 0.8% of my damage. So it was effectively 26+ parry rating and negligible threat.

I believe another one said it had uptime between 5-15%. Apparently it can stack (rarely) and the damage can crit.

I'm kinda leaning toward just staying with Potency, but I would like more opinions before I go spend the gold. Thanks for anyone that replies with an opinion :)

The paladin in my tank was using Titanguard with Bladewarding, he had it proccing regularly and even managed 3 stacks of it. He was loving it, and it looks pretty shiny.
Try it out, im sure if your guild is raiding regularly then you have plenty of Abyss Crystals waiting to be used. Cant hurt to test it, see if it works for you.

There's a thread on maintankadin about this, and what I got from the discussion is that it's not effective enough to really stand out above the other enchants. I know the main prot pally in my guild was decidedly unimpressed with it when he tested it in Ulduar last night.

Yea Metal, I did some more searching after posting this, and read a few posts at Maintankadin. I came to the same conclusion from those that people were disappointed with it. I also read some on TankSpot that lead to that conclusion as well. Considering how rare the pattern is right now, thus making it extremely expensive, I'm just gonna stick with my trusty Potency enchant.

Maybe this new enchant will get buffed somehow in the future, but until then, I'll stay away.
