aff lock weapon (enchant for lvl 60 felbane)

Hi guys,



Another question for affliction locks. Since I play horde, I have access to the level 60 quest sword which can have a WOTLK and BC enchant on it. There are two real options:



1. +63 spellpower



2. Black magic



From what I've read, black magic proc places a non-dispellable 1100 DOT on the target. The sword also allows me to use the fire eater guide as an offhand.



The only downside is these weapons have no real stats. Would either of the two enchants above, with the book, be better than the other weapon alternatives with the +40 spellpower enchant?



Zum'rah's Vexing Cane

88-133 DmgSpeed 2.70

(40.9 damage per second)

+10 Stamina

+10 Intellect

Equip: Increases spell power by 21.





Darkmoon Magestaff

101-152 DmgSpeed 3.20

(39.5 damage per second)

Durability: 0 / 100

Equip: Increases spell power by 30



I think the Azsharite is better. 63 spellpower + 12 spellpower (and crit rating and the proc) from the offhand book > these two... I think.



1. Does anyone know if Black Magic is a worthwhile enchant, worth using over +63 spell power?



2. Any weapons I missed, or an argument to use any weapon over the Azsharite sword?



TY :D

Arbiter's Blade w/ Soulfrost is probably the most popular weapon I see in the bracket, I use it myself.

Yea I see that one a lot :)



If you had access to the Azsharite (with black magic or the +63 spell power enchant), which of the two would you use?
 
I'd take 63 spellpower imo. There's an internal 45 second CD on Black Magic. Although ideally you'd just swap weapons out to arbiters when the internal CD occurs.
 
Yeah, the blackmagic would be nice - and depending on the situation it could be better, but the plain and simple 63 spellpower is probably your best bet. Although, I wish Black Magic would proc on melee attacks aswell, I'd totally have it macrod for my hunter with wingclip and mongoose bite :p
 
Black Magic. If you're going 63 spellpower, you're wasting the entire questline to get the Felbane gear. Arbiter's w/ Soulfrost is 62 shadow spellpower.



Black Magic provides better damage (on paper), and is also your ONLY source of damage of that sort, plus the utility that comes with a non dispellable DoT that does over 1k damage. It's really no contest.
 
New staff enchant in 3.1, +89 spell dmg to staves (lvl 60 items and above).



edit: I have black magic on the azsharite dagger, and rarely use it.



Amazing for duels, not so much BG where everything dies so fast (though if you are a dot and run lock, I'd say go for it).
