If I enchant my vma inferno staff with a weapon dmg enchants will I lose the blockade enchant and the 189 dmg or will I keep the 189 wpn dmg and lose the blockade enchant?

    You'll lose blockade and damage. NEVER ENCHANT Maelstrom weapons

    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    You lose it all.

    The weapon/spell damage bonus still being there in your character sheet is only a visual bug, it's not actually increasing your DPS.

    I wouldn't normally but I have spare sharpened inferno staffs.. I thought if I kept the wpn dmg it would be good to put on my gank blade.

    Why not? I have them rotting in my inventory. If it worked it would be op. Some said it worked, others said it didn't. That's why I asked

    I broke a VMA staff recently while it was locked I mite add.
    1.You lose the heavy & light tick for a fact.
    2. The spell damage still shows up on tool tip but I'm about 100% certain it's a error. I tested it and the spell damage does not apply to abilities.

    I guess if you have extra gold ones *** it do what u wanna , everyone earns their own.

    This is what I've been told. The dmg shows on character sheet, would have to do a before and after test

    YES YOU DO! How else will you get a cool looking charged lighting staff for your healer?

    Really wish they would make the vMA weapons non-enchantable. Really makes me nervous when charging one.

    The weapon/spell damage bonus still being there in your character sheet is only a visual bug, it's not actually increasing your DPS.

    This must be a bug though? I can swear i have read specific information from ZoS, stating that reenchanting a vMSA weapon will remove the special Enchant, but NOT the extra spell damage. It would also not make any sense otherwise, since the Spell Damage is a Set Bonus, and NOT an actual enchant. It is only the special named effect, that is considered an enchant.

    Now that i think about it, it might have been in some patch notes that i saw this, so the bug might have been fixed now?

    OP - if you have spare, i would encourage you to try it out. Even though people here might be right, this might also have been fixed by now, and people are repeating old content / bugs.

    No need to do anything drastic. There is PTS for all these things and yes, enchanting VMA weapon removes the bonus damage (slotting poison will not disable it)
