Watching these warriors, rogues and Demon Hunters all with double weapon enchants has got me curious. Does having these enchants on both weapons not give them a slight advantage ? doesn’t the bonus proc twice as often ?
While single weapon wielders get less of a proc chance ?
Thank you
If I recall correctly, having the same weapon enchant on both weapons would result in more/faster procs. If buff is active while another one procs, it would refresh duration. If you had two different weapon enchants, you can benefit from both procs.
I tested this in season 2 on my warrior and I vaguely remember the result was that both weapon enchants proc at the same time (regardless of whether you stack the same enchant or use different ones), but do stack if you double enchants. So when it procs, you’ll receive the effects of both enchants. My assumption would be that double enchants does not double your chance of getting a proc. Can’t say for certain, but I am fairly sure this is how they work.
I only ran it twice - once with primary stat + haste enchant and once with double primary stat. So maybe the time between tests was long enough and I got lucky that both tests had both procs happen at the same time.
But if they don’t proc together, I’d strongly bet against weapon 2’s enchant “refreshing” the proc of weapon 1’s enchant like mentioned above. That definitely wouldn’t make any sense.
when I used to have 2 sophic devotion the mainstat given was doubled
It does result in more proc’s its 1 of the contributing factors along with some proc abilities on their talent tree as to why they can just suddenly 90-0 people on a simple meta proc
So a demon hunter or other classes with ultra fast melee abilities does indeed have an advantage. I appreciate the replies. I was wondering why they were procing so often.
Now that gear is equalized we gotta complain about what classes get the most enchant procs?
Come on bruh
It’s all relative and everything is tuned accordingly
Yes, I do believe we have to ask ourselves if a double mastery proc offers an advantage over other players who do not.
You do know that DH is balanced around having double mastery enchant right?
I suppose all classes who duel wield are balanced around their enchants then. Because I can tell you, a mage, lock, shadow priest and most other classes are not balanced around the enchant they put on their weapons.
So this is what the change would look like in the patch notes
“DH no longer can enchant both weapons, so to compensate we’re going to give them a 3% damage increase”
The calculations on how DH performs includes having 2 weapon enchants.
You’re arguing and complaining about a mute point
huh
Not everything is an argument. I simply asked about the double proc. There was no complaint, there was no demanding the enchants be removed. I simply asked if it was an advantage over single weapon classes.

I was wondering what people who complained about gear/premades would complain about after they added blitz

You can look at warcraftlogs and see a mix of dual wielding/1 weapon classes at the top of the damage rankings. Blizz looks at damage data and tunes abilities to bring specs in line nerfing stand out specs and buffing underperformers.
Dual/single weapon enchants are baked into the data they look at so it gets “averaged out” with their tuning sweeps.

To be fair we used to be able to enchant held in off hands as casters… Stupid that they got rid of that.

When this was remotely relevant, blizzard designed special 2h enchants for the less able. There were even off-hand enchants for shields and stuff.
But it’s all been mathed out at this point. Rather than it being an advantage we’re more likely brought down for dual weilding and then bolstered again by that offhand enchant to be even.
I’m not sure if offhand penalty still exists.
you’ll also notice that all of the single weapon classes have access to 2h weapons that have dramatically more stats than 1h weapons. Is that an advantage?
