WoW Weapon Enchant

What would be the best enchant for swords for my rogue when levelling? I'm sure I read somewhere about using a fiery weapon enchant for the extra damage. Are there any other enchants like this I could put on swords?

If you can afford it get mongoose, good end level tbc one. I don't know any wotlk ones sorry.

I don't know what level your rogue is, but if you are below 40 I would probably recommend getting Fiery. The extra 40 damage is nice and the enchant itself isn't too expensive - you can pick up in the AH for about 30-40 gold.

The main problem I see with paying out for Mongoose when you are low-level is that it costs 500 gold (ish) per weapon and you will be changing weapons too often to get value out of it.

Post your armory link if you like and I'll take a look. My main is a 74 Rogue and I know the class pretty well, always glad to offer help and tips to new rogues.

It all depends on what level you are....

leveling really unless u have a epic drop or a really really good blue item i wouldn't bother.

uptil lvl 45 use something like fiery weapon.
uptil 80 use mongoose - if u can afford it.

But tbh, i wouldn't bother wasting gold on them.

Just turned lvl 60 and had fiery on my swords, just wondered if it's still worthwile using it or if there was a better alternative at my lvl. I've got the gold to spend so that wouldn't be a problem.

OK, well Mongoose is usually a 60+ enchant - but mainly for longer duration fights like instances and raids. It does proc quite often, however if you are going to be going to Northrend then I would suggest you grind through Outland to lvl 68 using just Fiery as you will quite possibly be changing weapons several times between now and level 80.

When you hit 80 and start doing end-game content OR if you are going to level slowly, see all the content/instances Outland has to offer and do lots of level 70 raids then by all means splash out on Mongoose for your raid weapons.

Hope this helps.

Just stick with fiery. Crusader is more dps at level 60, but its effect reduces as you level up. From what I recall, Fiery gives more dps than Crusader at level 70. There's no point at all in spending cash on Mongoose to level. Also, don't spend lots of time trying to hunt down enchanters. Weapon enchants aren't so significant that you should waste 2 hours of levelling looking for an enchanter, only to find you've found an upgraded item one level later.
