Hey, I'd just like some people to weight out the differences between enchanter high end hastes empower and glory of enthann. Here's how they officially stack up:
Empower, level 64, single target, 3 hour duration, 60% haste, 84 spell ac(so 42 ingame?), 10 sta regen, unknown agi (not in parser)
Glory of Enthann, level 65, group spell, 1 hour duration, 77% haste, 15 agi, 15 str
I don't want empower nerfed, but as-is, most people want empower over glory. You get more agi(i believe), sta regen, ac, and a huge duration. The higher level of Glory and the group casting makes me feel like this should be replacing empower for the general population.
As another class example, take our magic resist line. We get a nice single target MR spell and then later on we get a group version (shiritri's ward) which increases the MR and nullifies the need for the previous spell. Also, you don't see melees clicking group shaman spells and asking for mammoth or something instead.
What I would like is for glory to get some ac added to it and a small amount of stamina regen. People will still want empower for the long duration in a lot of non-raid situations and I feel that it's a fair tradeoff (less haste for more duration)
P.S. I realize that rogues, rangers, and bards usually keep glory as it currently is, this is more of a convenience change that i feel is appropriate considering other spell lines and the mana cost of glory. Thanks :hmph:
EDIT: As an aside, I'd just like to show what enchanters have to do for buffing on a raid:
-Summon pet
-Jayla's boon
-Shiritri's ward
-Plate Illusions
-Gift of Brilliance on Necro's
-Glory of Enthann
-watch 8 melees click glory
-begin casting single target empowers
-receive /tells as you go because people think you aren't giving them empower when in reality you can only cast so fast
