Bring back Head + Shoulder slot enchants?

Just a thought. Makes it pretty cool imho. Remember how it was back in Wrath? And TBC? How you would specifically target certain factions to farm their rep to get their special enchants?

Head chants by reputation.

The Ascended (Bastion) - 10 Versatility + 15 Mastery
The Undying Army (Maldraxxus) - 10 Mastery + 15 Haste
Court of Harvesters (Revendreth) - 10 Versatility + 15 Critical Strike
The Wild Hunt (Ardenweald) - 10 Mastery + 15 Critical Strike
Ve’Nari (Maw) - 1% Primary Stat

Shoulder chants by reputation:

The Ascended (Bastion) - 2% increased Critical Strike
The Undying Army (Maldraxxus) - 2% Increased Versatility
Court of Harvesters (Revendreth) - 2% Increased Haste
The Wild Hunt (Ardenweald) - 2% Increased Mastery
Ve’Nari (Maw) - 5% increased Block Chance

Or something along the lines.

Come on man I have to spend enough gold as it is to be optimized. :laughing:

For real though–most of that cost is in consumables. Delete augment runes (good riddance) and put the difference in main stat on a head enchant or something.

But that’s different. Those would quartermaster sold enchants with a fixed price of like 350.
I tried to make it versatile, as in every chant is viable really.

It’s a shame they diluted down enchanting/JC in general.

I agree totally, I was just thinking about head and shoulder enchants the other day wishing they were still in the game. I agree with Dan as well…wishing at least JC and Inscription got more attention. Enchanting is meh but it’s better than the other two for sure.

I want them all back. Tailoring threads for cloaks. Inscription for shoulders, armor patches for legs etc.

I don’t care, I liked that every profession was used to max out characters.

Then they went and dumbed it down and took it all away because “it was too hard to get raid ready.” Gimmie a break. It kept the professions relevant and it wasn’t that hard, expensive, or time consuming.

Right?

Blue gems are nearly worthless to sell. Gems used to be interesting, but like a lot of stuff, Blizzard was like “we gotta dumb it down.”

And I want the old glyph system back too. Take the current glyphs, keep them but make them a separate system, like “spell appearance or something” and bring back the glyphs that did interesting things like “sprint allows water walking” which I had on my rogue.

Me too. It was amazing to have self perks for leveling the profession. Every profession had something unique.
JC - x3 stronger gems
Inscription actally made important glyphs and shoulder chants
Blacksmithing extra sockets.
LW either massive stamina or critical strike chant on wrists iIRC.
etc etc etc. Every proff had something special and unique!

They were indeed back when character stats were not dumbed down to 2nd grade level.
I loved having more than 2 stats in the game. So it made gems a lot more valuable. Sure, there were a handful that werent as good, but the vast majority were still used.

No thanks unless they make them account wide. Grinding rep on alts isn’t fun.

I’m good with it. Not sure why they ever deleted shoulder/helm augmentation anyway.

Sure why not, gives the reps a certain staying power at least

Make it like wotlk or pandaland

Get a tabard that gives rep in dungeon, or a thing that boosts the entire accounts rep gains by 100%

Some things seem to have gone away for no reason at all… head/shoulder enchants are one of those things.

We do not need more borrowed power… pleases no. And that isn’t going to work since paragon gives gold…

Just don’t bring back hit rating! :confounded:

Enchants are borrowed power now?

Also they get disabled at exhalted, like previous rep boosts

I forget why they removed it but I doubt that blizzard will bring it back.

If you are going to design fights and tuning based of needing those enchants, yup. You are literally borrowing power from rep vendors like this.

I don’t know how you think they’ll balance fights around people having 10 extra mastery or something

I’d rather have FEWER reps to be forced to do in order to do more damage, thank you.
