Fixing a tuning variable that was missed when adjusting these to the Helm Slot.
Also adjusting damage effects higher to account for our current expansion item levels.

Void Ritual

The proc rate is no longer affected by Haste.
The 11.1.7 Void Ritual does not receive increased proc based on party members also using it.

Twilight Devastation

Damage is now reduced by 35% after each target hit. This should make it better in 2-3 target cleave, but on par with Echoing Void’s meteor tuning at 5 targets.

The less optimal you are at your perfect gameplay scenario, the worst the stat increases are while the flat damage effects will remain the same. In other words, if you're not seeing the DPS that the sims are telling you that you should? Probably worth it to try the fun ones and see if they work better for you in real play.Comment by MiniI was very surprised that they are doing this with in the season and exited so maybe my guild full trash players like me could attempt to kill some mythic bosses than I read its 1-2% :D bruh that's not gonna help us.Comment by ElitecookieIm split on what Blizzard should do. I'm both in the boat of "give us the same kind of power like in BfA!" becuase obviously feeling like you are powerful is amazing AND you had negative corruption effects for having a bunch of them. High risk, high reward. But also in the "don't give us too much power and make the next patch feel like we got weaker because of the enchants" since there isn't any downsides of using them. They are basically a flavorful, extra bit of damage but nothing crazy.

I'd like for them to do damage because numbers feels good but i don't want the numbers to be so the corruptions is more than half of our damage like they were in BfA.Comment by AcolonInteresting to see that the definition of 'fun' in western MMO's is always having (borrowed) powers that are completely breaking the game balance, skipping the 'challenging encounters' as they get instantly deleted by multiple Twilight Devastation beams. Or players, when tank are using it in PvP.Comment by aluucardoif twilight is not scalling with hp then this is utter uselessComment by astleyt07TLDR: still absolute trash enchants...
