Hey gear junkies! Phase 7 of World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery has landed, and with it comes a game-changer: new Shoulder Enchants that slap tier-set bonuses on your gear. Whether you're chasing DPS, healing, or tanking glory in Naxxramas, these enchants open up wild possibilities. This guide is here to break it all down - how to get them, what they do, and why they're worth your time. Let's get our shoulders pumped up and ready to go!
Step 1: Scourge Invasion - Your ticket in
To unlock these bad boys, dive into the Scourge Invasion event. Head to the invasion sites, smash undead and collect Necrotic Runes. Use these to summon a Shade of Doom - kill it and you might just snag a Heart of Doom. This drops the Laid to Rest quest, your golden ticket. It's a grind, but think of it as passive farming while you save Azeroth. Stockpile those runes, as you'll need Argent Dawn Valor Tokens later on.
Step 2: Quest and vendor unlocks
With the Heart of Doom in hand, locate Brother Lucius in the pit near the graveyard of Light's Hope Chapel (coords 78,6,65,5). Finish Laid to Rest and he'll open his shop. Each enchant costs 5 Argent Dawn Valor Tokens - not cheap, but well worth it. These aren't runes; they're permanent consumables that stack with existing enchants (such as +25 Fire Resistance) and don't expire. Watch your token spending - you can stock up to 20!
Step 3: Pick your power
These Enchantments draw bonuses from Tier 1, 2 and 2.5 sets, allowing you to mix and match like a mad scientist. Some highlights:
DPS (Soul of the Torturer): Fireball, Frostbolt and Balefire Bolt gain 3% damage per fire effect (up to 9%). Perfect for Fire Mages or Warlocks.
Healing (Temporal Beacons): Chakras last 20% longer and heal 10% faster. Healers, rejoice!
Tanking (Feral Might): 1% chance to hit - a bear druid's dream.
Want some PvP spice? Try Soul of the Cryomancer for frost damage buffs or immunity while channeling. The options are endless - tailor it to your spec or playstyle.
Bonus tip: Mix and Match Madness
Here's the fun part: these stack with your current tier gear. Slap a Tier 2 bonus on some AQ gear, or juice up a ZG set with a Tier 1 perk. Tanks can grab hits, DPS can stack crits, and healers can boost utility. It's a min-maxer's playground - experiment with loadouts for trash, bosses, or even AOE farming. Just be sure to plan your enchants in advance, as swapping means farming more tokens.
