Need reworking on armor/weapon enchantments

I have been playing the game since 2013. In the view of a PvE player, I am very tired of being with Vorpal and Soulforged.
Why are vorpal and soul the most popular weapon/ armor enchant?
Cause they give the most ''realistic'' profit to players:
- Vorpal bases on Crit severity which means if ur daily/ encounters/ at-will deal more DPS, the profit of Vorpal will be increased by the same amount --> very flexible and effective.
* other weapon enchants:
+ mostly are limited cause they base on weapon damage (variate from some percents to around 20-30%) which is very very very stupid, the amount of weapon damage today places around (400 damage to around 1000 damage), so the dps that is produced by other weapon enchants(not vorpal) is surely under 300 for each proc.
+ in mod 5, mostly ever players have their power more than 7k, some even reached 10k - 14k power. that amount of power let players output dps like: 5000 damage (low GS) to even some hundreds thousand damage. As a CW my output dps always places around some thousands (at will) to 100k damage (encounters, daily)
> compare the dps we deal with the DPS that other weapon enchantments (not vorpal) produce, it doesn't make anything different at all. It's like 30k damage + 300 damage... Isn't this something really stupid?
- Same story with Soul, soul gives us a chance to raise up after death and it heals us too --> very effective in PvE, even in PvP now.
*So what is the point with other enchantments? When they proc their effect... they don't make anything difference--> useless x1. Then suddenly u need to wait for 20s 30s or even up to 60s so they can proc one more time --> incredibly useless X2.
So finally these lacks of profit lead to the situation that people only do Vorpal + Soul for the most --> it limits me and other people who want to create a new build with new enchants (not vorpal + soul) --> the game becomes bored when all players have same build and same playing style.
In near time, I hope Cryptic will be able to rework on enchantments and make them more ''realistic'' and more effective so people can enjoy the game in their own way.
Thank you.

The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
1) It sometimes does not proc at all.
2) It grants a feeling of "immortality". You feel like you can facetank everything, ignore red zones and do whatever your squishy class is not supposed to do.
Barkshield is way better imo. Some extra HP pool + annoying adds won't drag you from your mount when you run near by.
WTB Class Reroll please
So, know your wishes
it really depends on:
- If PvE, Barkshield can't help me to improve my survive chance. With the huge number of adds and the insane DPS that adds deal on me, some thousands blocked damage from barkshield means totally nothing. In fact, my life saver is nothing but Life stealth , therefore, soul gives me a second chance to steal HP from adds.
- If PvP, then Soul and bark are both good. But one more thing that i also have to mention here is that, ppl with high end gear deal insane DPS in pvp, some ppl can output a crit like 20k+ damage in once single encounter --> at this point, blocked damage from bark becomes suddenly useless. This is also the explanation to Why Barks are cheaper than soul in AH right now, ppl just skip over bark and turn to soul!
---> analyzing in two perspectives (PvE and PvP) ---> soul is still the most dominated kind of armor enchants. GG.
And soulforged leaves you prone/without stamina in PvE sometimes too, I've got enought lottery in PvE without that.
WTB Class Reroll please
Was it any info bou that on 4rum? can u link me? Thnx.
If you have the lathander set, soulforged is so much more better than barkshield.
if i recall well it was in the first AMA with Rogers.. think you can follow a link from news page to it. But they;ve said they want to do it and not that they are doing it.
However whether it is still actively being worked on or not it is still something the developers have said they are not happy with in its current iteration.
WTB Class Reroll please
It was common to shield a whole ibs just to name one.
Vorpal and soul are the only usefull enchants.
Then there is plague fire to abuse some bugs, stop
Oh and negation...has some really interesting effect but the duration. Dunno, either this enchantment needs a complete overhaul or the duration/effect buffed a lil bit.
Weapon enchantments don't suffer as much as the armor enchantments but still their effects are obsolete/depressed. Like bilethorn that is self-killing enchantment sometimes with ferocious reaction and other reflect powers (still does well in pve though. Not as p.vorpal but still well). Or lifedrinker...just don't know, some say it's good, I tested that in PvE and it turned out I had better survivability and lifesteal with my old perfect vorpal
WTB Class Reroll please
In PvP, It could be something.
in my PvE perspective, Terror isn't much usefull. Adds have nothing but tons of HP and a little bit number of armor, ... so armor penetration/ armor reducing effect is not a good choice. It's such a wasting of trying to hard to reduce adds' armor while they don't have much armor.
Negative mitigation?

does it even exist? have never read or heard about that thing.
Hm, this is new for me, didnt know that negative mitigation existed.
I've never had a problem with Soulforge not proccing, although in most PvE content that's hardly a common occurrence. I do like Barkshield but the advantage with Soulforged is that you get 100% of the useful effect at Lesser. It's a handy fall-back if you mess up or get hit with a OHK from one of the newer bosses. Barkshield gives you a benefit 100% of the time but you need to level it to get the full benefit.
For weapon enchantments I have 2 toons with Vorpal (HR & TR), CW has PF, SW has Terror, DC has Bronzewood. Since I'm a poverty player they are all Lesser. I think the only other one that gets some use is Lightning on certain builds.

Basically, if you have at least 24% Resistance Ignored then your damage is boosted by roughly the listed debuff percent.

g.plague fire = 9% damage boost
p. terror = 4.5% damage boost
g. bronzewood = 16% damage boost for 10 seconds every 20 seconds. 10 seconds downtime.
PF and Terror are odd. They're the only cases where the tooltip defence debuff =/= damage buff and I'm not sure if they work differently or the tooltip is wrong.
