As I understand the consensus on this website is that the most likely date is 15 Nov.

[doublepost=1668073366][/doublepost]Does anyone have recommendations (other than the ones already posted, thanks) on specific weapon enchants for any specific class with the new DF talents or more general recommendation(s)? I'm interested in 20's, mainly for PVE.
E.g.
Crusader vs Elemental Force
Major Spellpower vs Elemental Force
Dancing Steel vs Elemental Force
Mighty Agility vs Superior Impact vs Elemental Force
for different classes?
Since I can't test them, my guess is maybe Elemental Force for classes with heavy multiple target DoT dmg and Crusader / M Spellpower for single target instant dmg classes?
Crusader used to be a no-brainer but not any more in DF as per previous posts.
I'll have multiple weapons where I can, one with each enchant, but some of the weapons are unique so can only have one.
Warriors, Paladins, DKs will want to have Rivendare's Blade with Crusader enchanted before the 15th. Dragon's Call and/or Ironfoe for 1 hand users aswell.
Enhance wants to have an Ironfoe enchanted with Eleforce aswell.
For druids, Ele, SP I can say for sure that the same goes for Blade of Eternal Darkness, with Ele Force.
Alot of Enchants loses power and can be overlooked in several slots without it being doomsday.
But weapon enchants stay very strong. So this is a must.
Also yes! The 15th is 99,9999% the date where this takes effect, since that is when pre-patch phase 2 starts.

Asking for a lazy friend, are the WoD epics GF'd after Tuesday Nov. 15th with Phase 2, or only on release of DF at the end of the month? Also, with enchanting those epics, will they be enchantable at all after the change? Or do we have to enchant beforehand because of ilvl change only for bis enchants?
WoD WF gear will not be gf'ed! None of the epic gear will be, unless there are outliers in other Xpacs that I am unaware of.
The gear just won't be enchantable after the 15th when the item level change hits.

Whats the alchemist flask giving on beta/PTR?
Flask:
-Alchemist's Flask = 7 main-stat
-Greater Arcane Elixir = 10 SP and 3 Crit.
-Elixir of Mongoose = 8 Agility and 3 Crit
-Elixir of Fortitude = 60 hp.
Classic Cooking:
-Juicy Bear Burger = 3 intellect.
-Smoked Desert Dumplings = 4 Str.
-Grilled Squid = 2 Agi.
-Mightfish steak = 2 stam.
-Lemon Herb Filet = 1 Vers.
Oils & stones:
- All Wizard Oils, Sharpening & Weight stones are GF'ed due to our high itemlevel weapons.
I'll add this to the OP
[doublepost=1668088105][/doublepost]
Note: Post-launch or Pre-launch is referencing 15th of November. Wich is when the pre-patch event, and the new Chromie updates are likely scheduled to kick in. Hence why you can't test the scaling changes on the PTR yet.
So even though pre-patch is set to start on the 26th of October, Not all changes will kick in untill the 15th of Nov.
Neck:
Satyr is still a safe choice, yet it must be enchanted before launch.
For Mastery junkies, swapping to Mark of the Trained Soldier before launch might be worth it.
Shoulders:
Still Northrend Inscription.
Note that you'll also have to enchant pre-launch to make use of it.
I'd say its worth it to put the enchant on now, regardless of your current proffessions.
Since it's the only shoulder enchant in the game, and will be Grandfathered post-launch
Cloak:
Pre-enchanted: Mainstat, as before
Post-launch: Higher level Blue enchants.
Chest:
Same as before. Gives 3 of all stats
Bracer:
Less value, same as before
Gloves:
Spell power:
Less value, still same
Attack Power:
Less Value, still same
Mastery:
Less value, still same
Legs:
Leatherworking! If you have your favored off-stats with 3xSlot gear, it'll be BiS in DF aswell. So it's important to have it enchanted Pre-launch.
Ilvl 95 quest-epics from SL zones, are the only items that will trump this.
Boots:
It was at first my idea that mainstat enchants give 2+ across the board. This seems to be wrong. i might have to come back to edit, on agi enchants. but as it seems right now, Boar's Speed is set to be an allround safechoice.
Stamina:
Boar's speed: Minor speed + 2 stam
Agility:
Assassin's step: Minor Speed + 1 agi.
Off-stat:
All seem to give only 1 stat (with or without Minor speed) - Might be edited.
Vers:
Enchant boots - Greater Versatility: 2 vers
Rings:
[ Enchant Ring - Accord of ____] - Can be enchanted post-launch, and WILL be your go to.
Weapon:
Weapon enchanting will change if you haven't enchanted pre-launch.
Pre-Launch:
-Crusader
-Major Spell Power
-Elemental Force
- All old Agility Enchants.
- Mark of Shadowmoon. - Not that insane for the time being. Seemed decent on beta.
Note: All pre-BFA enchants will be gf'ed if not enchanted pre-launch. I decided to still leave some of the more notable above.
Post-Launch:
BFA Weapon enchants will now scale with our higher item level weapons!
We might still be able to access Shadowlands Enchants aswell, for those who know how to do it.
Off-hand/Shield:
Same for Off-hand Int users. Needs to be equipped pre-launch.
Shields:
Seems to be the same as before. But I might change this.
Additional info:
I'll try to add other additional information about questions answered earlier in this thread here.
Nothing is a stupid question, as long as it's not allready answered by the OP.
Flask:
-Alchemist's Flask = 7 main-stat
-Greater Arcane Elixir = 10 SP and 3 Crit.
-Elixir of Mongoose = 8 Agility and 3 Crit
-Elixir of Fortitude = 60 hp.
Classic Cooking:
-Juicy Bear Burger = 3 intellect.
-Smoked Desert Dumplings = 4 Str.
-Grilled Squid = 2 Agi.
-Mightfish steak = 2 stam.
-Lemon Herb Filet = 1 Vers.
Oils & stones:
- All Wizard Oils, Sharpening & Weight stones are GF'ed due to our high itemlevel weapons.
Final words:
This thread will be open to requests! If there are enchants you'd like to have tested or added to the list, feel free to suggest.
Aswell as general questions I'd be able to answer regarding the current beta-build.
[doublepost=1668090536][/doublepost]I've added an additional info paragraph to the OP, since the questions in the thread stray abit out from the main-topic.
Wich is no worries, since I have the means to test things properly, I don't mind providing much needed information.
I've added Pots/flasks/food/oils section, aswell as correct item level information. I'll be adding things to the additional information tab, as I'm answering questions in this thread.
So don't be hesitant to skim through the OP again whenever you revisit the thread
