Come on blizzard. new enchants? this is so boring and lame and uninteresting. Scrap these and make them embellishments instead. that way peple can do interesting new recrafts in the middle of an expansion and stop using the lame boring ones weve had for over a season on. you guys really need to pay way less cause the people you have there arnt cutting it.

They really can’t pay any less lol. Their senior engineers make less than fresh college grads in other industries.
Maybe that’s the problem.
What are you even talking about? How is this boring? and how would making them embellishments be better? Not a single thing you said makes sense. Why would I want to recraft my gear multiple times to test these things out? Having them as enchants makes them far more flexible, as in you can swap them in and out or around as much as you want to. Glad they are not paying you anything lol.
So DK’s can use them. As they are, DK’s loses out on this event due to requiring runeforges.
Or even neck enchants works too instead of on weapon.

I agree with them being embellishments or something other than weapon enchants.
I’m not really too keen on these being enchants for a few reasons.
There will be a best for ST and a best for AoE option so we won’t really have any agency in which ‘corruption’ we want to use.
The price of enchants lately has been offputting to say the least so early on you won’t be using multiple different corruptions in different situations until you get multiple weapons.
This leads to needing multiple weapons and potentially having your ‘bis’ weapon being a very rare / cantrip styled drop either at the end of S2 or even going into S3 not being able to play around with multiple different options unless you shell out tokens worth of gold each week changing between ST/AoE setups.
The other alternative is the crafting system and adding them as embellishments.
Early on you’re suffering the same problem in needing to spend gold to change the embellishments according to what you want to min/max. However sparks are deterministic and this issue fades away entirely on week 6 of a tier (4th spark week) since you will be able to craft a second set of embellishments which you can freely change at will and not be at the mercy of having to get multiple sets of weapons from raid when everyone else will be wanting to do the same.
Embellishments are the much more logical choice for this from both a player friendly angle since it will be much easier to maintain multiple gearsets for Raid/M+ but it’ll also add in classes like DK who don’t ever get to interact with weapon enchants because their baseline runic engravements are apart of their gameplay.
However a 3rd option is allowing us to force sockets on our weapons for S2/S3 and slot in the corruptions into them as gems which would then work alongside enchants we have right now and allowing them to be hot swappable like the Signet/Circlet rings have been in the past.
Necks havent had enchants since legion i think and wouldnt prevent any class mechanics the way weapon enchants/oils do so i agree that would be a good compromise.
Embellishments might be cool if it was a full patch during a new season when everyones re-doing their crafts anyway but thisll be comming after at least a 3rd of season 2 is done. Most people will have already finished and paid to redo all their crafted stuff.
