5.4 Enchants not scaling?

    • So Ive been working on my perfect agi set on my 39 rogue. Im just waiting for a Green Lens of Agility and maybe a pair of Agi Satchel rings. But for the most part I think Im pretty near close to finished. Or so I thought.

    I was farming for any variation of +10agi cloak. When I finally caught one on the AH, I went to go enchant it. Now I may be doing something wrong here but my Shroud of Undercity has +12agi and my Cabalist Cloak of Agility only has a +9. After looking at the rest of my gear and doing some research I realized that some of my enchants did not get scaled down like others.

    Explanations?

    Edit:

    I realize that I should be rocking BoA shoulders with the high agi enchant and BoA legs with the same. I just havent got to it yet.
     
    I remember critting for upwards of 3.5k with almost 4khp, really don't think a set like that is viable.
     
    ^So now its become an issue where some BiS are no longer BiS in certain situations due to differences in current enchants. This makes a lot of gear and toons really unique in so many different ways.
     
    12 agi to cloak did scale down but if you had it on a cloak before the change it doesn't scale down and stays 12 agi (not sure if there are more of these enchants). Also the classic enchants do not scale at all. All enchants up from TBC do scale.

    This is not quite true. Some enchants have tooltip bugs or bugged scaling depending on which item they are applied to. Some of them were fixed with the last patch, while others were not.

    The only way you can know for sure if you have a bugged tooltip or bugged item is if you compare the stat gains against the character sheet with the item both equipped and unequipped.

    Also @ OP, Sword of Decay is not BiS since yellow attacks are normalized around weapon speed. You can equip daggers and do the same exact damage on all your yellow his as with Sword of Decay. I'd rather opt for a weapon with more stats (stam/agi/crit) such as the BoA sword. I'd also put Dancing Steel on it over Mongoose.

    Tidal Charm DRs with cheap shot and other stuns, not exactly worth a trinket slot. I'd use either the Flashing Steel Talisman or the Searing Words trinket, especially if you are going for more agi.

    Flashing Steel Talisman - Item - World of Warcraft
    Searing Words - Item - World of Warcraft

    You should watch your AH for a pair of Unearthed Bands. Even the non affixed ones are better than Branded Leather Bracers.

    What about +7 Weapon Damage MH and Dancing Steel OH?

    Have a couple of Unearthed Bands sitting in a bank.

    Edit:



    Correct me if Im wrong, from the cloak I get: 9 + 12 = 2. Then we get the 30% bonus for sub. 21 * .3 = 7.
    21 + 7 = 28.

    Why isnt it adding up? Im only getting 27 Agi and 54 Ap. Not that I should complain that my enchants didnt get reverted properly.
