Best Weapon Enchantment for PvP

Matt45045

I have a Spriggan Set with two Gold Spriggan Maces, what would be the best enchant for highest burst damage?

Weapon damage on mainhand, disease or poison on offhand.

Disease mainhand. Poison offhand. Your main combo: Heavy into Incap animation canceled into Light attack then killers blade. Most will die before the light attack anyways.

I personally dont really like the weapon damage enchant with duel wield. Its hit or miss if it will proc main or offhand with heavy attacks and duelwield. In my opinion its best to go with 2 damage enchants.

For bow heavy attack swap with 2h incaps like you do.. most definatly weapon damage enchants.

Or go with poisons on your weapons which cancel any enchantments you might have.

Poisons do not provide burst damage like the op has asked for. Assuming he is trying to gank they are generally a waste.

They are great for duel wield though since heavy attacks have a chance to apply it twice.. but in this case for op they are not needed if hes trying to kill in under 1-2 seconds.

Does a Weapon Damage Enchantment have less of a chance of proccing than damage enchantments? And for dual wield, does each of my weapons have a chance of proccing from weapon skills or just the main hand?

All enchants have 100% proc chance on light/heavy/weapon skills with a 4 second cd each.

All duel wield skills proc the main hand execpt for twin slashes which i believe procs either or both (not 100 of that one. its one or the other).

light/heavy attacks can apply either main or off hand. Depends which arm is used.

This why duel wield is strong. 2 enchants with there own 4 second cooldowns (granted only if they are different enchants. 2 of the same share a cooldown). Also you cannot stack weapon damage enchants.

I get the WD pretty consistently when I'm brawling with DW because I religiously light cancel and/or heavy attack for Siphon sustain. I'm not a fan of DW for ganking - you end up with dw/2h or using weapon power potions instead of invis/expedition potions in order to run DW/bow, plus you go without the burst heal of rally. dw/2h doesn't offer the huge burst of a bow heavy attack into ambush>incap, and basically requires you to land a DW heavy attack > incap cancel to do somewhat comparable damage, but this is troublesome since according to my testing Empower is not working on DW heavy attacks - and even if it did people can hear you cast it when you have to be up close like that.

There are some really interesting enchant interactions when using the 2h/bow gank method where you bar swap the bow heavy, but I finally have it reliably proccing a 348 WD on the bow attack which then applies to ambush/incap.

Either way, the WD proc makes my incap hit about ~6% harder even with a clever alchemist build that already has very high WD. This %age could be more significant if you have less total WD.
