Well it can be any class that uses magic. I took time off and returned to level alts for TBC. However, my skinning knife with 30+ SP enchanted on it that I use to use for leveling my alts is not working on my priest. My frames and character panel clearly show I have 30+ SP, however none of my schools in any magic school are receiving this benefit.
Did they change the skinning knife thing or did they alter at what level these enchants become effective at?
Just need an answer.
Bump 'cuz I was thinking of making one of these for my baby priest.
how are you verifying this? unequipping does not change output? SP is not super strong at low levels from what I’ve heard but have not heard of no scaling from this type of thing.
Yes of course I am. Even by calculating the damage per tick matches the simple R1 spell damage. My holy spells aren’t even benefitting from it.
The reason you use SP 30+ on a priest is because just like corruption for warlocks, SW:P gets 100% SP. So at level 4 when you get SW:P with 30+ SP you would straight up do double damage because R1 SW:P is 42 or something.
I seem to recall low level spells getting a downranking penalty.
Something like level 20 is needed for spells to get their full spell power bonus. Below that it gets proportionally reduced so a level 1 spell gets practically no bonus.
Your healing spells don’t benefit from it.
Low level spells scale far less. If I were you I’d just boost a priest in tbc to 58. Far easier and available.
But I need something to do now, also the 30+ enchant does indeed give Damage and Healing it was a 1.12 thing that’s been addressed for quite awhile now.
I will just assume its a low level DR on SP.
It will. The +30 applies to all schools, including healing. Just like the Brilliant Wizard Oil.
It applies but SP scaling sucks for a lot of SPriest stuff, like Mind Flay.
Should be able to test this pretty easily at a dummy. I believe that untalented, SW:P gets an 100% SP coefficient. Its static so there’s no variance. Just try one full SW:P with and one without the knife and see what the damage variance is, if any.
There isn’t, already tested it. Hence the post.
Easiest test is SWP, that has a 100% benefit from SP. so if it doesnt work, its a bug. healing isnt affected by SP.
You only get one boost so gotta be a bit picky on what you picked based on what you’ve leveled.
I’m planning on saving mine for druid personally, but I have ulterior motives for that rather than being good or bad for leveling.
Also came here to figure out whats up with this, I gave my lv 1 priest a knife with 30 SP and a staff with the 55 heal/19 spell dmg enchant, neither enchant improves ANY spell. ALL of my spells do the same damage swapping between the 2 weapons and not even using a weapon. same goes for my heals. seems like a bug?
Maybe level a bit to like 10 or so to see if they receive slightly less of a down ranking penalty?
Just keep levelling, it will all work out!
