Transcendent dread enchant

Another OP s***? 75% dps bonus to encounters + 40% def reduction + 4% something more. what kind of enchant is this s***? dps bonus and debuff at the same time... lol.

I havent tested it yet, but this is just what i have in mind: the new set doesnt buff the elol DoT since its not an encounter, yes. What if u combine the dread enchant with the orcus set? when u are in pve, bosses and mobs usually have much more HP then u which may end up that the bonus will be constantly 20%. So u get totally:

20% dps bonus + 75 crit severity + 44% debuff...

and ofc Im talking about classes that use encounters and daily most of the time like CW and SW.

    Just imagine a HR with this enchant... which class is never needed to use at-wills LOL. Unbeatable.

    EDIT: I think this enchant need a little nerf. That is for sure.

    Highly depends on how it actually works. Cause most of cw/hr trapper dmg for example comes from passives like ss/roots + dots. Hell on my cw i use spec with up to 60% dmg from passives. If its boosts only crit severity of encounters than its not that great or better than terror/vorpal/plague. Also terror got tooltips corrected at some point showing that at r12 its 4% debuff in pve not 40%. Pvp... well... its already screwed. =) Bottom line - needs testing. Agreed that making it zen store only stinks but we have plaguefire already.
    Gwfs are pretty fragile now. With temp hp rendered useless and unstoppable bug still around. Personally i would rather have dmg nerfed than survivability but oh well. Another topic.

    With the current formula I am using to predict its damage, at least 66% of your damage needs to come from encounter for it to be better than vorp, so stop overhyping it.

    Im not hyping at all, the fact is other classes like CW uses encounters most of the time lol. Lets say that it only buffs encounters and not elol set. Then what happen when u switch to the new orcus set?.

    Flat dps bonus + 75% crit severity + 44% debuff?

    Think about it, thats how cryptic's logic seems like now. They want u to switch to the new set in order to stay BiS in PvE

    Most of cw dmg currently comes from lost set/ss or lost set/ss/owlbear depending on your spec/crit chance. Encounters personaly dmg ii VERY low. Same with rangers - roots/plant growth. Also new set bonus... Unless broken it doesn't seem that great. aslo pretty HAMSTER stats for dps. Even elol set isnt that bad.

    It will be seen how the Dread ench works, someone wrote that the Pure and T.shadowclad is bugged, no DR buff and near perma stealth. So im not rooting for this to work as planned either.

    Lets wait for some statistics before going all nerf on it. Prolly someone is testing it right now with ACT.

    I think we'll soon see how it performs.

    0.75*x=0.5.....0.5/0.75 = 0.666666. Your encounter powers would need to make up more than 66% of your damage in order for the dread enchant to be better than vorpal for crit severity. As far as I know, there isn't a single class that meets that criteria and since currently, the debuff doesn't work, for most classes except maybe SW (if this thing is classed as necrotic) this enchant is just bad.

    Does damage from elol (triggered by encounters) get benefit from it? Or other passive triggered by encounters?

    Assuming it gets fixed (not surprising it's broken), it's a very class specific weapon enchantment.

    I'd like to test it out on the HR - the trapper uses encounters almost exclusively, yet much of the damage comes from root DoT damage which I'm not sure if it is affected.

    Anyone test this out yet?

    @thefabricant, ty for the quick reply. Then it seems vorpal still win in pve. If the debuff work, it could be a great choice for balancing dmg and debuff.

    Just a little reminder to others, vorpal has 2% debuff too.

    Lesser Dreads selling for 450k. Greaters selling for 3.75mil (comparatively, Greater Vorp = 1.1mil). Bloody hell... this is lunacy.

    Well, considering it doesn't boost Lostmauth, I feel comfortable enough to - right now - assume it wont buff HR Thorned Roots, which is still the majority of my damage.

    The fact that the debuff - still! - doesn't work doesn't do it any good either. I am kind of curious as to if it would stack with a Terror/Plague Fire.

    Guess I'll pass on this enchant like I did Shadowclad.

    Not rly, since vorps has been around forever and you could make them when Cwards cost 100K and not 330K.

    GF will profit most I think, a GF lives from his encounter in PVP he doesn´t use at wills a lot.
    A GF onerotates you atm using feytouched, some use terror since it works also fine.
    If this class will get a 75% critseverity + a terror buff it will give PVP an even more redicules note, I retreat from that game and level an GF.
    So in case they fix that debuff we will see nothing else than this enchant on every GF.

    Ran some quick tests last night with a lesser on my HR. Just eyeballing it, i definitely saw the numbers go up on both initial hits, and subsequent DoT ticks for both thorned roots and Gushing hits.

    Keep in mind, however, that at-wills don't benefit, and in raids CA provides a nice chunk of DPS and won't benefit from Dread. Definitely a good boost in solo play or small groups though.

    GF enchant in my opinion too,
    maybe there was a rash up in gf numbers (cause easy alts to level to 11) and cryptic decided ppl will spend money on GF thingies.
    Please fix Zhentarim Warlock companion's skill "Arcane Warping" to the originally intended "Arcane Boost"

    Pure -> Transcendent Plague Fire weapon enchantment giving 80damge/20 seconds for 500k+ AD is a joke.
