Feral Weapon Enchant explained for SL

So probably between double +agi, double EF, or a mix?

double agility won’t work, I did try some basic tests on my 20. Ran major strike (which is just slight better than 2H agility chant) and dancing steel on artifact and in proc it was just slightly better nearly = to gnarled staff with superior impact. You do gain mastery with artifact but loose a lot of versa and standard weapon damage.

In theory double dancing steel on artifact would give the biggest bites but would need to both proc.

Wait, why not just double Major Striking?

It probably wouldn't be great even if it did. I tested https://www.wowhead.com/item=21766/opal-necklace-of-impact and it performed much worse than https://www.wowhead.com/item=88273/armsmasters-sealed-locket.

I don't see much of a difference with https://www.wowhead.com/item=25899/brutal-earthstorm-diamond either, but I like the stun effect on my feral. The +weapon damage items don't seem to be as strong as they used to be.

Quick update, impact and weight stones nerfed. see below link

https://www.wowhead.com/news/nerfs-...-enchants-blizzard-timewalking-changes-325341

Did some not so great testing. Had to use level 28 druid as no game time on main (20) to mail test weapons.

FBite Tooltip
2H Superior Impact = +34 damage down from 93 damage (Still BiS)
2H Impact/1H Major Strike = +25 damage
2H Mighty Agility = +24 damage

Dense Weight Stone is adding aprox +28 damage

Have not tested double ele on artifact, but with lunar talent and nerf to impacts may be worth a look. Will probably be better for padding meters but for value not sure yet.

The nerf definitely sucks but I still think feral will sit around the same tier level. Will try do some more detailed testing soon.

With all the melee damage & Crusader nerfs coming fast and furious, seems Blizz wants all Hunters and caster BG's after all.
Are rogue, feral, warr, ret still worth playing?
 
Updated google doc in OP for those that may be interested.

Looks like base bite damage was also reduced at some point too. Or the heirloom iam using was nerfed in such a way that it only effected bite damage.

Exact same heirlooms with enchants as first tests back in 9.0.?
 
@Chey

thanks for this info.

To clarify, What is the updated sheet saying here?

That the 2h superior impact enchant gives the greatest benefit to ability damage , even though it’s + 3wep damage tooltip is LOWER than other available enchants that give +4 wep damage?

My apologies, in my haste to get this done while I had game time I forgot to change talents. All new results need 20% added. I will fix in the next few days.

Overall results are the same for enchant rankings except the difference between original naked with (superior impact) is 196 vs 248 Bite NOT 163 vs 248 as currently stated.

Edit: Updated, should all be correct now.
