Regarding Vorpal Enchantments.

I have doubts about this to actually work as intended.
Not long ago I had a normal vorpal in my weapon as a CW, thinking it would make me more HAMSTER in PvP. But to my disappointment I saw no difference in the character stats.. my crit severity stays at 75% with a crit chance at 33% no matter if i remove the weapon or have it equipped. Why doesn't it show up and gets updated accordingly just like all the other enchants does?
I also went to do some dmg on dummys and test it out with another orb without the enchant in it, but I failed to see any crit changes. Now to my question, is the vorpal really broke and not working as the description claims? I like to think I didn't waste 1 mil AD on something that is useless. Or does it just not work for a CW and it's at-wills/powers as we dont deal "physical" damage.
I'd be greatful if someone could enlighten me about this.. preferably some official staff with insight about it.

Not sure why you aren't seeing the difference on the target dummies. Could you be expecting a bigger change than it makes? Normal is what? +25% severity? A skill that hits for 1000 normally and crits for 1750 will crit for 2000 with Normal vorpal. It works on all skills AFAIK.
Hope this helps.

There is an advance combat log tool. Search for "act neverwinter plugin" and use that tool with the neverwinter plugin. That is how I do all my testing.
Plaguefire is good in PvE. I use Greater Plaguefire on an Ancient in PvE. I use Perfect Vorpal for PvP because burst is king there.
Good luck.
umm, to test anything you have to use a scientific approach; the dummies that we all hit cannot possibly count; there are too many variables.
Also for me the especially hard part is i like to change up my gear alot with each new spec/experiment. I have to stop myself to just TEST ONE THING AT A TIME AGAINST ONE TYPE OF ENEMY WITH the same sequence of events, in the same time; pretty much impossible to do.
So... I attack 1 or 3 targets, with AT WILL ONLY, just to gauge base damage, nothing else. Plus i hear the test dummies have no read on the efficiency of Arp. gimpy.
