ive seen so much conflicting information, and the tooltip is worded extremely vaguely.
using wowhead, the actual effect it puts on your weapon is just damage and all healing/spell damage items actual have two separate modifiers.
then again, in the 1.12 patch notes, it says 'fixed a problem with +30sp not adding to healing"
so which is it? does it add it or not?
There is Spell power.
And there is Healing power.
Some items state that they do both.
All sp is healing too in classic
yeah, i mentioned that in the post.
and not necessarily coronachan.
these two posts are a perfect example of what it feels like trying to get answers to this question
Name one instance where spell power doesn’t add to healing (spells).
Spell power adds to Healing Spells and Damaging Spells.
Healing Power adds to Healing Spells.
i.e.
Spell damage is just damage. Spell power is both damage and healing.
wrong game mate.
the enchant im talking about in this thread.
My avatar doesn’t change my experience with this game.
name of enchant is enchant weapon spell power
tooltip says add 30 spell damage to weapons
wowhead modifiers it actually applies to weapon just says 30 damage to spells. any item that gives spell damage/healing will have 2 unique modifiers.
BUT in patch notes for 1.12 it says “fixed +30sp enchant not giving bonus to healing”
thats the reason for this thread. if you go off the name of the enchant it should add to healing as well. if you go off the tooltip and modifiers it grants, it shouldnt. if you go off of the 1.12 patchnotes (supposedly what game is based on) it should again, but it originally didnt.
now, does anyone have an answer for my actual question instead of arguing about semantics?
classic wowhead com/spell=22749/enchant-weapon-spell-power
yes, it adds 30 +healing.
yes it is damage and healing
If you read the wowhead comments it states that it was changed in the original 1.12 patch… Many times changes have been made to the game without updating the tooltip.
Also as an spriest in classic I can tell you that yes it does add to healing.
Patch 1.12.0: +30 Spell Damage Enchantment: Fixed a bug with this enchantment which was preventing it from benefiting healing spells.
" Spell power increases the damage amount of damaging spells and the healing amount of healing spells . Prior to Patch 3.0.2, the attribute known as spell damage would only increase the effects of damaging spells and was most commonly gained by enchants. Healing spells were only increased by the healing attribute." No
Edit: Reading more into it and Jesus! Everywhere gives you a different answer. I’ve always thought the damage part meant that it affected damage and the healing part meant healing but I’ve been known to be wrong in the past.
I didn’t attack your avatar just your knowledge of Warcraft.
Wizard oil.
30sp enchant.
Odd, cuz I wasn’t wrong.
