Plague Fire Enchant (Shadowmantle)

edited December 2013 in PvE Discussion
I have heard people saying plague fire enchant will be changed in shadowmantle. Are the finally fixing it to make defense debuffs stack? Or is it something else? I did a forum search for "plague fire" through the Preview Shard Patch Notes, but could not find any information on what would be changed with it aside from there were a few issues with it sometimes not showing up in the AH properly on the preview server which they fixed.

    Still looking for a reply if anyone knows. I have heard numerous people say it is being changed but I cant find any patch notes on it.

    I heard it got fixed as well. However I never saw anything in the notes.

    Bugfixes aren't always documented. Higher versions weren't applying stacks properly. I saw people who had tested it on preview saying thanks for the fix, so I assume that now they are. That's all I know.

    The stacks are working again as it was prior to MOD 1.

    So with the fix is Plaguefire a decent choice again now?

    Yes, it is now very viable again: ~16% damage increase for you and 9% for the party, making it one of the if not the best enchant for AoE/trash situations.

    Can't tell if multiple versions stack, but there are multiple buff icons on mobs.

    Thanks :)

    Being fairly poor I will just grab the lowest rank PF then.

    That's just a gut feeling, but might be a good time to grab one off the AH right about now, because of the recent lockbox resurgence. But haven't kept track of the prices for Lesser.

    Greater Plaguefire was never broken, Normal Plaguefire was the one that was not increasing the defense reduction with stacks, but Greater was always working correctly pre mod and post mod (tested heavily).

    About 120-130K for a lesser I think - is that cheaper than it normally is? As I have never bought a weapon enchant before so have no idea.

    I had that same bug with the AH for several searches since Module 2 :(

    I agree. With the bug they have been showing up on the AH under runestones. Keeps the price down for the moment and as these are now bis for many classes I bet it goes up.

    Grabbed a couple of Lessers for my other alts - at around 120K I hope they don't get much cheaper else that will be (for me) a lot of AD lost :(
