I've been testing this enchant in preview and just made a perfect one in the live server to store it, and the mark every mob you hit mechanic is awesome, also, ignoring defense (16% in perfect version) allows you to avoid stacking ArP and really makes it for the lack of damage addition...
What do you guys think? hidden gem on the Expansion?

Anyone sure how Terror works? It actually says 5/10/15% defense, not damage resistance. I assume it would work like Plaguefires and Student of the Sword. SotS says 45% defense, but actually adds 15% damage (5 per stack). Even when armor is not reduced to 0, it works this way. I know because I used it on myself when it was bugged with Restoring Strike and one stack made me take exactly 5% more damage.

off topic
have you tried tranquil defense enchant how does it works and how long is its cd?
Sorry about the confusion. I was wondering how much damage terror/plaguefire adds in comparison to Bronzewood.

for 250 for lesser i assume gonna be about 550 for normal and about 850+ for greater...perfect could be about 1.100x4 /if they proc at same time / = 4400 heal/chance per hit which is something something.The more tanky you are the more hits you take so the better chance you have to heal so i think this is the new op. Just imagine
Havent seen more then lesser so the numbers are related to the vorpal ranking ... i think they are not far from the real ones.
If the healingstones have an ItCD, then they don't use a lot. Even if it more than 20s!
Tranquil is the response to tenes, defense slot, no perfects (only greater, like tenes) and 784 hp per tic, so about 6k everytime it procs, and procs about every 20 seconds, like the tenes... so instead of nerfing tenes, they gave new shiny thingies... makes sense.
You are sure about the 784hp !? So i could do my calculations .,..
Powerful Challenge does not affect the enchant mark. The enchant mark is a separate debuff. It will stack with regular mark.

Greater is 734
Maybe for PvP, even then I am not too sure. But for PvE LifeSteal is still way better. No internal cooldown, 10% Lifesteal on 5x target of WMS animation cancellation is just awesome.
Tranquil's are trash! I run 3x Greater they seem to not work IMO. No tests but common sense shows they are not doing their job!
Also you cannot make a perfect

This.
They are not working properly. At least not like Tenebrous. I spent 10 full minutes getting hit by 4 enemies while wearing 6 Greater Tranquil enchants and had it proc somewhere in the ballpark of 40 times in around 2000 strikes on me (or 2%) Each time it only gave 734 hitpoints (or, the value of 1 enchant, not 6)
I personally would go with Bronzewood combine with high Arpen u can do very sustain dmg and u don't need to stack power to hit big number, as a matter of fact i dislike stacking power since u always need to use shield to block cc and dmg skill which drop your power rating naturally.
-The marking only applies itself "after" the target is hit by an encounter and loses out on its benefits. This is unlike the mark on enforced threat in which it applies itself beforehand, thus gaining the 10% damage boost.
-The amount of targets you can successfully mark are limited by your encounter target limit. The only 2 aoe encounters gf's have are enforced threat and frontline surge, meaning a total of 8-9 potential targets can be marked. But realistically, you're likely to hit the same target twice unless you painstakingly go out of your way to do otherwise.
-20 second cooldown with a 10 second uptime means 50% activation uptime at best, but once again, realistically, you're probably looking at less.
As far as bronzewood being able to hold aggro, I see it as rather moot considering how is easy it is to get aggro once attacking any given enemy. The issue has more so been getting aggro from enemies that were not in range or unaffected by aoe's due to target limit. This is where lightning enchantments come in handy as its arc will go out of the way to hit anything within football field's radius.
Another thing to take into consideration is that a gf's main source of dmg comes from cleave. A series of quick, medium-low damage aoe attacks that synergize with lightning incredibly well.
At this point and time, I'd consider Bronzewood to be the best bang-for-your-buck enchantment for a gf, but probably not the best. On the other hand, for pvp, that might be another story entirely.
Lightning is the best pure DPS one... but it agroes random thingies... i discarded it after trying just 2 dungeons... but can be fun.
