Weapon = Plague Fire
IMHO.
Agree with this
Agree with this
Normal plaguefire:
+5.5% Fire damage. Burn for 1.8% damage per second for 3s and reduce def by 10%, can be stacked 3 times.
Even if you take out the last debuff, which doesn't stack with other plaguefires, it still is far from useless compared to other enchantments.
Lightning enchantment is very nice but only greater/perfect has a decent effect.
Lesser Flaming is better then Normal Plaguefire . . .
And at last, there is still vorpal which is the best.
Wanna do more damage yourself? Go Vorpal for Crit Severity.
Wanna give group more damage? Go Plaguefire for Debuff.
I have one question to entchantments: These percentages, are they based on the weapon damage or the damage of the power?
For example: Greater Flaming deals 10% fire damage initially.
Given a orb with, say, 800 weapon damage and Chill Strike which does 5000 damage.
Is it 800 * 1,1 = 880 Damage ( +80)
or 5000 * 1,1 = 5500 Damage (+500)?
Or is it something different?
In 20 ppl raids there 100% will be a person with Plaguefire stacking the Debuff (usually GF). The same about 5 ppl party.
1. Recovery is never useless and Control Wizards are all about CC and control, no need for crit here. Furthermore you get several seconds of crit if your Eye of The Storm procs, which is very often, thus rendering your crit stat useless for the time being.
2. Power gives small bonus but it never diminishes.
3. Crit gives diminishing returns very early, after 1k, a lot earlier than recovery does.
It isn't that important what you stack, as everything get diminished sooner or later (except power) but if I have to stack something I'd rather stack recovery which is the only stat that helps me doing my job: Crowd Control. For dps there are others, no need to sacrifice your efficiency trying to match them.
Stacking recovery becomes even more useless since there can be 2 CW in a party. What to say about 20ppl raid with ~5+ wizards?
p.s. Currently Power gives almost nothing, thats why crit is better even after ~1000-3000 ratings.
This is an argument of course. But just since the beginning I felt that 2 CW in a 5-man group is often too much, to a degree where it is counter-productive. 1 solid CW with good recovery and high int + wisdom is enough in most cases giving more space for other classes. I prefer being able to solo and I am convinced that CWs going straight crit + charisma may fail at this task in some fights. For all the content there is only last CN boss where having 2 CWs may come in handy.
Yeah I was thinking about doing the same (invest some point in armpen or maybe defense) to prevent wasting stats on diminishing returns. I will not do this now because I don't want to throw some of my pieces away but having balanced CW is also a good idea.
cw dont need to stack much crt cause he has passive which make his hits all crts for 8 secs >_>, i vote for vorpal for cw and rogue,plaguefire for gf and gwf
