Horrible Enchantment. It completely destroys PVP. I consider quitting the game if it goes live with those stats without being toned down.

Frost Enchantment:
Transcendent: You deal an additional 16% of weapon damage as Cold damage with every swing, reduces player foe's Recovery by 35% or disables non-player foes for 4 seconds, and reduces foe Deflection by 35%. This lasts 4 seconds and cannot be applied more than once every 20 seconds.

*edit. I was informed by some guildmates about stacks "expiring" once an attack is deflected. This may have a very large impact on the effects of this enchant. Particularly in terms of low deflect characters getting much better usage out of this enchant, especially against DoTs. Most importantly enchants like this need to be tested by the community before being allowed into the live gaming environment. Please allow us the opportunity to do so.

If you deflect the wrong hit, you will end up with less DR against the next big hit than Negation would provide.
This effect can stack a maximum of 8 times and expires when you successfully Deflect.
When you successfully deflect an attack with 8 stacks of Shadowclad, your armor has a 100% chance to Daze nearby foes for 1 second and places you in Stealth for 4 seconds.
This effect cannot happen more than once every 30 seconds. "
Notice the part in bold. Deflecting an attack is supposed to clear the stacks, so I don't see how it's going to be possible to ever get to 8 stacks and have the daze and stealth part happen. The RNG would have to decide that you did not deflect an attack with an additional 70% deflect to ever get to the 8th stack, so if you already have at least 30% deflect it wouldn't even be possible.
@tolkienbuff
i see it differently. Its overpowered as **** on classes without deflect.
its 10% for stack of deflect RATING. Not actual % deflect.
for example my tr with 65% deflect would hardly stack any of those stacks hence for my classes which heavely rely on deflect that enchantments is pretty useless.
On a dc with 0 deflect is better than negation.
i was considering to buy one but if stacks go to 0 upon a successful deflect hit...well it sucks.. hard.
the daze+stealth part is overkill tho.
The point is you have to stack deflect to make the 80% more rating usefull but your changes to have 8 stacks are steadily going to zero.
You'd never be able to get the invisibility thing to go off since you need 8 stacks to do it, and it would drop off after each deflect.
and also the featured satirical comedic adventure "A Call for Heroes".
Dead🔪you all like this " i'm quitting game' right? i don't like it,so i leave it lol
be happy of new stuff, aren't you tired of the same neg/fey enchant everyday and everywhere....
hey and dont say broken because 90% of you are broken drowned shore weapon based on hitpoints? ha.
AT least i am playing with not stable bonus weapons ( twisted).
as far as I know deflect chance 10% is not 10% defeflect rate but who knows
assuming it will be a +80% deflect at max stacks:
so getting hit with zero deflect you get 10% deflect
100% --->10% deflect+4% DR
next step to 20%
90% ---->20% deflect+8%DR
having 20% deflect getting 30% it´s 9/10 x 8/10
72% ----> 30%deflect+12%DR
having 30% getting 40% its 9/10 x 8/10 x 7/10 it´s
50% ---->40% deflect+16% DR
having 40% getting 50% its
30% ---->50%deflect+20% DR
50% to 60% it´s
15% ----->60%deflect+24% DR
60% to 70% it´s
6%
70% getting to 80%
1,8%, so rank 12 seems useless, nice goodie, rank 11 is enough
the average buff will be 45% effectively
most time you stick arround 30% deflect+12 DR but more --> 40% deflect and 16%DR powerfull indeed
A TR at 50% deflect get´s 60% for 100%, 70% for 40% chance, 80% for 12%, 90% for 1,2%, so he will stick arround 60 to 70% deflect, but never benefit from DR buff
My warlock at full stacks/sparks 25% deflect--> 35% deflect for 100%, 45% for 65%, 55% for 35%, 65% for 16%, 75% for 5%
the best benefit will have tanky classes with zero deflect like DC, GF, OP i guess, since they do not need negationenchant that much
A good alternative between elfen and tenacity enchant and you can benefit from a 16% DR-buff plus 40% deflect buff...nice
I definitely doubt this will balance anything in PVP, nope DC and OP will stay even more rediculessly penetrant on node and heal each other to the climax
GF will turtle, but get´s more options by that having a nice deflect + DR buff, so he can act more offensive i guess?
I can spam 24/7 a day 1 million Soul Scorch in a row on a DC or OP and they will not go down, even Traven Blackdagger won´t need that much rotations to get his HP down
A GF/GWF can onerotate a BIS warlock in two seconds, balance?
Btw. anyone saw this new weapon enchant giving at max rank:
75% crit severity, 30% weapon damage as necrotic damage every second for 4 seconds and -40% defense on encounter use only.
???? 75% crit severity
???? -40DR debuff
???? 30% weapon damage every second for 4 seconds
A GF having now near 175% critseverity by that will...oneshot you
having debuffed the target for -40% DR he will 1/2 shot you and..
on top will tick 30% weapon damage every second for 4 seconds ... i saw silly procs from lolset-bonus 30k+ (unmitigated), triggered by encounter like Bullcharge and that´s the 6% bonus from lolset
so upscaled that´s...150k weapon damage every second for 4 seconds in case this bonus works like lolset
I only assume what this enchant will do for PVP, no good for sure in case it´s real
only found a lesser version and greater version

I level a GF atm or just leave this c.rap game... no options left, OP and DC is silly, GWF overbuffed etc.
@metalldjt I see NOTHING in tooltip about ICD like getting a stack once a second. That means that it might be already screwed up like always. And, yes, "rating" word is dusky.
@thefabricant It's exactly what most people will do. But most likely people will test it already after it comes live (= it might be broken, but in some day devs will fix it). Tho, next time I will try to improve the poll questions - i think i messed it up a bit.
