Why does enchant weigh so much?
Because it closes the item. Without the right enchant, the gear is:
- incomplete
- inconsistent with the spec
- worse than it might seem at item level
Enchant is not the “finish”. It is part of the functioning of the character.
Best enchant per slot and per profile
Tanks
They want enchants that reinforce:
- stability
- survival
- threaten when necessary
Healers
They want enchants that:
- maintain throughput
- help sustain
- do not sabotage the comfort of the spec
DPS
They want enchants that:
- reinforce the right stat
- respect caps and priority
- push real damage, not just appearance
Cost-benefit alternatives per phase
Fresh/transient gear
It makes sense to use versions:
- cheaper
- faster to reset
- consistent with the short phase of the item
More stable gear
Then it's worth investing in the best enchant, because the item will last longer and the return will pay for itself.
Enchantment errors that stop progress
- using enchant from the wrong function
- leave important slot without enchant
- put an expensive enchant on an item that will come out now
- save on the slot that weighs the most
- Don't review enchant after upgrade
When is it worth exchanging enchant for upgrades
Change when:
- the new item will actually stay
- the slot is high impact
- the gain talks to your current phase
- the cost is not greater than the actual value of the exchange
Complete Enchant Review Checklist
- [ ] are my critical slots enchanted?
- [ ] Does the enchant talk to my spec?
- [ ] did I use the economy or premium version correctly?
- [ ] Did I forget a slot due to laziness or cost?
- [ ] does the item deserve the enchant or is it still transitory?
Minimum recommendation
Good enchant per slot means:
- consistency with the spec
- respect the gear phase
- cost invested in the right place
Wrong Enchant does not make any noise. It just makes the character perform less.
