I enjoy the fact that there are completely different enchants for every piece of gear. As much as I’d like to be able to throw 15 agi or 25 AP on all my slots, that would be rather boring and in the end all pieces have some sort of useful enchant.
Chest enchant options, however, are pretty thin. Let’s take a look at them after the break.
[Enchant Chest - Exceptional Mana]
Obviously of no use to a rogue, but I question it’s usefulness to even the mana using classes. 150 isn’t really that much, is it?
[Enchant Chest - Defense]
The tanking enchant. Useless for a rogue. As I don’t play a tank I can’t comment on how great the 15 to defense, but I suspect it falls short.
[Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats]
This is my current chest enchant, simply for lack of anything better. As much as I enjoy my +6 to int and spirit, I can’t help but feel they are a slight waste.
[Enchant Chest - Major Resilience]
Seems pretty solid, if not a little lacking like the rest, and if I PvPed more, this would probably be my enchant.
[Enchant Chest - Major Spirit]
Healer enchant I suppose. Someone with more knowledge would have to let me know of the overall goodness.
[Enchant Chest - Exceptional Health]
Another choice for the tankers out there. Again, someone with more knowledge would have to let me know how they felt about it as opposed to the defense enchant.
[Enchant Chest - Restore Mana Prime]
Another something for the casters. From what I’ve heard it’s actually pretty subpar, the best of a poor lot much like exceptional stats for rogues.
Not a lot of choices for my stabby brethren. Only two choices actually, one that’s only viable in PvP and the other that’s just rather subpar. Better than nothing I suppose?
If you really want I can rationalize +6 to Int and Spirit for a Rogue.
The bonus to Intellect helps you with skill-ups, while the bonus to Spirit helps you with health regen out of combat, which results in less down-time while eating.
However, in the end, +6 isn’t making any significant difference. And as you’ve made pretty clear, chest enchants are pretty damn weak across the board.
