Twink Cup Arena Enchants

[Yapah]

With the rules set in place, I am wondering as to what people will use as weapon enchants for the arena portion of the Twink Cup.

With a ban which affects mainly hunters, arms warrs, and BM monks I thought I would theorycraft what they will use instead

Arms Warr:
Berserking - Spell - World of Warcraft as far as I am aware has a higher proc rate than landslide, also it lasts for 15 seconds, so I think warriors will use this. Since weapon switching isn't banned in the arena portion, 56 AP x2 can be deadly

BM Monk:
Berserking - Spell - World of Warcraft x2 will most likely be BiS to get that 112 AP bonus for some deadly keg smashes
Mark of Blackrock - Spell - World of Warcraft has a 40 second ICD and 100% proc chance once you go under 60% health, it gives 23 bonus armor for 12 seconds, you can switch to this get a proc and switch back to
berserking for 40 seconds

EDIT: Mark of blackrock shares an ICD so it's only worth having 1 weapon encahnted with it, also if you are under 60% and switch to the weapon it doesn't proc, you must go under 60% while the enchant is equipped


Hunter:
Megawatt Filament - Item - World of Warcraft 34 crit for 12 seconds (11%)
Mirror Scope - Item - World of Warcraft 34 crit for 10 seconds (11%)
Oglethorpe's Missile Splitter - Item - World of Warcraft 34 multistrike for 12 seconds (19%)


I haven't tested any of these out, just some ideas to replace the banned enchants
Thoughts?

Banning the gun procs just removed hunters from the TC, Berserking is a going to be the alternative for bms and warriors in the TC arena torny. Ofc they want to ban those aswell.

As far as I am aware the rules are final so berserking is allowed, so BM monks and warrs will still be quite powerful, all this ban really did is nerf hunters

its arena only so it shouldnt affect much...

ya, if the proc not as good as anticipated EF works too. well you should have an EF axe already seperate if ur playing warr in arena tourny anyway, last time i fucked around with berserking i got so mad that i dropped it (on a feral) for EF, prior to deleting my feral

Looking through some wowhead comments, berserking seems to be 1.2 PPM (claims vary from 1 to 1.7 PPM) and the 56 AP buff lasts for 15 seconds

Landslide is 1 PPM and 75 AP buff lasts for 12 seconds

Overall berserking has a lower AP bonus but it should have a higher uptime than landslide making it a viable contender for monks and warrs

As a BM monk, all you really need to get a killing blow is 1 proc of berserking, once you get the proc you can switch to mark of blackrock, this has a 100% proc chance once you go under 60% health. 56 AP + 23 bonus armor is 79 AP, easily landing a kill

If you're lucking enough to get 2x berserking procs, switch to blackrock for the guaranteed 23 Bonus armor, totaling a whopping 135 AP, nearly much as a double landslide, easily landing a kill

EDIT: Blackrock shares and ICD so you can only get 1 proc, it only procs once you go under 60% health while the weapon is equipped.

This is all speculation ofc, but banning landslide didn't really remove the burst potential for BM monks, arms warrs may have had their burst potential limited
but 56 AP x2 can still be deadly

So long as hunters have Roar of Sacrifice and Concussive shot they'll be essential in the TC

quote myself hahaha. didnt clarify, outside of ''dropped it'' since that probably might've not been clear to people.... BUT, what i was trying to say was, berserking had such a low proc rate in game to me like a landslide rate or some shit, that i gave up on it.

if i played in twink cup id test it myself just to be sure its not as garbage of a proc rate as last time i had used it.... multiple arenas in a row on feral not proccing the berserking once over the course of all the games type of shit.. not to say its not exactly 100% as [MENTION=7362]Yapah[/MENTION] was talking about, it very well potentially is exactly how he stated, not as bad as what i felt; i myself just couldn't handle how bad of proc rate i experienced.

if it proc like equiv to sader rates then ya itll def be the way to go for warrs n ferals, but if u end up going an entire arena with no procs or only procs at a useless time for you to damage on, always good to be able to swap in your EF and have something without inconsistancy (for the most part)
