Weapon enchants and internal cooldowns.

Basically I want to get people's opinions on what they think/feel about them. Also, not sure if this is common knowledge or not but for me at least I think I just found out that having two weapons with the same enchant on both of them share the same cooldown (and i'm not sure about having two different enchants on two weapons). I'll go up to a mob, hit it with my left weapon; enchant procs, then hit it with my right weapon right after the left hits, enchant doesn't proc. For me, especially after finding this out, feel that weapon enchants are too weak, and make little difference in overall damage.

UPrime✭✭✭✭Internal CD's are important in order to not make them OP. That being said, I think they could come up with a better system then CD because it makes it less predictable.
Also, sharing a CD seems weird to me, if anything if you have 2 of 1 thing, the 2nd should reduce the CD by half.0 -
Arcanasx✭✭✭✭✭If you are dual wielding each weapon should have their own cooldown, regardless if they are the same enchants or not. If I want to use fire on both my weapons, why should I be penalized for it instead of having to use one fire and something else. Maybe its a bug, maybe its intended, i'm not sure.Edited by Arcanasx on August 9, 2014 1:31AM0

✭✭✭✭Thank you for pointing out the shared cooldown. I guess I have some changes to make.

✭✭With 5pc Torug Pact and powered trait at 40% (Blue tempered weapon) The cooldown is like, one second only lol. My enchants proc every 2nd hit... on light one-handed attacks. Just an FYI if anyone was interested.0 -
Arcanasx✭✭✭✭✭Torug's pact and powered weapon trait (on two weapons) is what i'm using as well, and with default attack speed, I proc every other hit as well. Thing is, Its every other hit whether i'm dual wielding or using one sword, which leads me to believe that two weapons share a proc cooldown.
I've also done further testing, one weapon with powered trait (fire) at 40% reduction, and the other with infused trait (lightning, or charged). The results kind of surprised me. Despite the powered fire, each element procced at approximately the same rate, and guess what? This combination procced even more. It wasn't every hit, but it was most hits. This combination gets more procs than having two weapons with powered traits.
Even stranger, is while observing, it didn't matter if my right weapon is fire enchanted and the left lightning enchanted. Both weapon could proc either the fire or the lightning.
Also, with the dual wield heavy attack where you stike with both weapons, only one of the enchants procs.Edited by Arcanasx on August 9, 2014 5:17AM3
