Enchant weapon – sunfire vs. Enchant weapon
I assume you aren’t talking about the stats, cause that’s easy.
- Spellpower +40 to all spell damage schools
- Sunfire +50 to fire only spells.
So you miss out on 10 damage for fire spells, but pick up 40 damage on the other schools (assuming you are a Mage, Arcane and Frost).
Cost wise (and expansion wise) spellpower is the better enchant.
I discussed the cost of the mats for these enchants previously, so go read that.
Expansion wise (WoLK), spellpower I’d becoming a single school non-specific stat. So why spend so much more for something that won’t exist in a couple of months.
Anyway, you could pick up the same 10 points via epic 3-4 gems – which is significantly cheaper (Runed Crimson Spinel going for 150g on Aman’Thul at the moment).
Gnomer and Out!

Just a quick note: Sunfire boosts fire and arcane, so the only mages left out are the frosties.
going one better, since the patch it appears school specific spellpower has just become generic, so this enchant would apply to frost as well.
If you could justify the cost for only +10!

Well, unless my character sheet and armory are lying to me, my Sunfire enchant is still only applying to fire and arcane.
And I justified the cost because I run a disenchanting business and I knew that I wasn’t going to see anything in Burning Crusade that topped the badge sword, so I decided to drop the best enchant on it. Wouldn’t do so now, however.
Ohhh Cy, that’s interesting. I was basing my assumption on the fact that all of my spell schools are the same, even though I am still spell fire geared.
Previously I had around 200 less Frost damage, but now they are all equal (up to Arcane and Fire).
Strange that the enchant would exhibit different behavior.
