Hi guys,
I’ve really been wanting to try out spell power rogue, but i’m not sure if it even works.
Does anyone know whether weapon procs, such as Alcor’s Sunrazor or Fist of The Damned, scale with spell power (or +fire damage)?
Also, how does spell power or specific damage modifiers like + shadow damage work with weapon enchants like fiery weapon or lifesteal? And what’s the interaction with trinkets or other items?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could clarify these questions for me, I really don’t wanna level a rogue to 50 only to find out it doesn’t work. Thanks for your time
it wont work . its Classic mate u aint gonna have fun trying out, sry
u could enchant weapon with shadow oil and even use a flask of supreme Power, still wouldnt work good

Poisons in Classic don’t scale with spellpower like on private servers. I think the weapon procs from ST might, I don’t know if fiery retributor from ZG will or not and I don’t know if the neck from Kazzak will either.
It’s probably not worth your time trying.

I think it’s all item dependent. People in paladin Discord should know more (obviously not about daggers but about many other items).
I think most of the stuff does not scale and cannot crit. Some of these are proven bugs Blizz don’t care to fix.

Not many items scale in this version of the game, back in Vanilla almost every proc scaled rather than fine tune it Blizzard just nerfed everything to the ground.
Lifestealing enchant used to scale. There are still some lifestealing items that scale such as Demon Forged Breastplate, Skullflame shield maybe? Ancient Hakkari Manslayer might scale in an unusual way also not sure though
I too would be interested to know if anyone knows of other similar items that scale with spell power

i confirm that Lifesteal enchant and firey weapon enchant don’t scale with spell power.
Items with lifestealing effects (not the enchant) scale with spellpower very well. I use Skullflame shield and ancient Hakkari Manslayer on my Paladin in spellpower gear and it’s great - it even ignores healing reductions like Mortal Strike because it’s not healing, it’s stealing xD
There will be a 2hand weapon with a life-stealing proc available in AQ and i asume this one also scales but nobody can know it for sure because it’s not out yet.
Other weapon procs that are not lifestealing effects don’t scale.

But not all lifestealing items scale with spell power, Skullforge Reaver doesn’t scale, Baron Rivendare’s Runeblade scaled but they nerfed it for some reason.
spellpower scaling in classic is overall wierd. Some things don’t scale at all, some spells only a % value of the damage scales with spell power, and other things scale directly.
It took me over 8 years to truly understand what spells of my paladin (or latest are supposed to) scale with it, and by how much.
I have experience of these items:
Wraith Scythe (axe from BRM chest) scale 100% with spellpower (life steal).
Skullflame shield life steal also scale 100% with spell power but the fire damage doesn’t scale at all.
