Maelstrom staff vs spell power enchant on crafted

Which is better? I weave all the time to proc my frag, so would a sharpened/nirn staff that is crafted with the spell power enchant better than the maelstrom staff? On my third run of the day wondering if anything here is with it.

✭maelstrom, backbar your other staff
Backbaring your 5 second spell power enchant doesn't work. When you flip bars you lose the enchant.
To answer OP's question:
vMA staff has the 189 spell damage active 100% of the time. Spell damage enchant works for 5 seconds, then has a 6 second cooldown so is up roughly 1/2 the time. So that's around 170~ spell damage on average.
That being said you can make your enchanted staffs part of a set item so unless you are using monster sets, you can pull an extra set item bonus using a crafted staff. But that WoE enchant is really nice.1 -
darthsithis✭✭✭I see. Was unaware of the 6 second cooldown.
Ugh gotta go farm vma. Last time I got a ring of the hunt. YayMessage me if you want to do trials/dungeons, or need a trading guild! Flawless conqueror magsorc with a bad sense of armor fashion.0 -

This is wrong, the cool down on enchants is 10 sec, see this https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/3052735/#Comment_3052735 and this https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/2964140/#Comment_29641400 -

Are you sure about that? I still get the bonus spellpower when i swap bars. Is that just a tooltip bug? My attacks are stronger too but I combo combat prayer with resto staff attack before i swap bars.VR14 DK Leaps-in-keeps0 -

It may be a UI bug, I didn't extensively test it, but combat prayer is definitely giving you 8% so you'd have to test hits without it. But I know for sure that when I proc the enchant and flip bars it doesn't show up on the tooltip for that bar.

My bad, I'm on console so no add-ons it seemed faster than 10 seconds but I wasn't stop watching it.0
