Damage Control

So I was perusing this wow-heroes website today and there is a search called statistics. So I clicked it and it gives you options like Weapon enchant/ class. So I look to see what is most popular and here are the results.

Most popular enchants icon title characters
Titanium Weapon Chain 956
Enchant Weapon - Blade Ward 856
Enchant Weapon - Berserking 652
Enchant Weapon - Mongoose 476
Enchant Weapon - Accuracy 452
Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining 252
Enchant Weapon - Greater Potency 160
Enchant Weapon - Exceptional Agility 152
Enchant Weapon - Lifeward 132
Enchant 2H Weapon - Greater Savagery 103

The number is the amount of people on Suramar that have that.
I really can't understand some of these being that popular.

Edit: I should mention that these numbers were for a Prot Warrior

Many people think that Blade Ward is among the best enchants (though I will acknowledge that some say it is crap) so its place in second makes perfect sense. And Weapon chains are very useful, and cost about 5% of Blade Ward, so that makes sense too.

As for the rest, I dont really know melee enchants that well...

Cheap early 80/PVP

The point I was trying to get at was to pinpoint the berserking and the 2H savagery enchant for a prot warrior.

Oh.

Savagery wasn't on many - so with all those some aren't theorycrafters at all, some just had the mats for that one and went with it. For Beserking I imagine that has to do with PvP and burst ability... but I'm far from an expert on that :-)

I have an enchanter but not a blacksmith.

Blade Ward is actually really cheap(free) for me since between my JC and Enchanter I always have the mats.

Berserking may be due to the fact that a lot of prot pallies swap out some of their tank gear for more dps'ey gear in heroics.

^^ this. While there may be some bads who use Berserking on a tanking weapon, I'd guess the majority are tanks who logged out in DPS gear, from farming or doing dailies, etc.
