Using head enchant lows dps/healings?

Community General Discussion

I used head enchant Lesser Void Ritual and i noticed like many people are saying the dps is being lower same as healings.

I noticed the same. Maybe enchant is bugged and makes your dps lower or healings.

I’m not sure how it would since it only randomly increases your stats

I’ve never noticed it decreasing them

Wouldn’t be shocked if the coefficient was turning it into a BFA item, so the overall performance is legacy tier.

I haven’t noticed anything too weird, this claim would require some serious testing.

lmao.

I just dont notice the enchant at all. The dmg increase is so marginal that

People are saying it on Wowhead they tested it and also noticed using a head with the enchant lowered their dps then used another helm without it and dps came back to normal numbers.

I used it and also noticed my numbers were down but tested in healings.

Im using echoing void and it has consistently only done between .6%-.9% of my damage.

I have heard that it may be bugged but Im not positive…but as it is, there is no point in even having it

for my ww, lesser echoing void sims the best rn.

it did 0.6% of my damage in a full m+13, which is terrible… expel harm does that… lol

i’m not gonna worry about it until i see how the greater one does… but yeah.

Lower by what metric?

And DPS isn’t a static number.

Are people factoring in pull sizes?

It’s anecdotal feelz - the most important stat ever. :stuck_out_tongue:

I haven’t noticed any difference in my overall DPS and I’m okay with that, mid season stuff shouldn’t give too much power after all

I would think the people having this conversation would know the variables.

But if you were to go from consistently doing 2.5 mil DPS overall and drop down to 2.3 and the only difference was getting a head enchant…that would be an issue. Especially since the expectation is that your DPS would go up

13

No, it wouldn’t. You pushed the wrong buttons, had worse RNG.

14

Notice I mentioned “consistently.” This isnt based on the results from just 1 dungeon

People who frequently run keys know what their damage range is

15

I had a small feeling that something might have been off with damage when I kept doing Visions after getting the enchant, but just ignored it and chalked it up to maybe Visions just being different content/density, but now I’m not sure

16

Seems to be ok here.

But note with anecdotes often a bad day can be confused for a bug.

Anyone tested?

17

are the head enchants available in raidbots? simming it is probably the only way to accurately tell I would think.

18

Since they’re all basically the same, I took twisted appendage for double the laser tentacles. It procs just as often and deals just as much damage as Idol of Cthun…it’s like putting a second point into that talent

Yes…and they all sim +1.9 - 2.1% (only the greater runes are simmable)

So so glad I’m skipping this “event”. I thought I might be missing out on something, nope!
