Does Flametongue hurt 'Fiery' Procs?Follow

I am new to a shamy. Perhaps you could tell me if I'm doing anything else wrong, but my main question has to do with the Flametongue 'enchant' eating or in some way hurting the number of Procs I get off of the 'fiery' enchant.

I have no data to support this, but it just seemed like my warrior (also using a slow 2H weapon - Both are in the lower 20s) got more procs off his Fiery enchant than my shamy seems to get.

Should I be using Flametongue in my early 20s?
Is fiery a good enchant? (for a shamy)?

Any other advice would be helpful. Thank you

It shouldn't have any affect, no.

[EDIT]

I'd use Crusader, personally. And Fiery is fine until you get WF.

[EDIT]

And by Fiery, I mean Flametongue.

No, Flametongue will not eat Fiery.

Your observation is a common mistake. (It's good that you notice things like that, awareness is a nice trait to have.)

Fiery is set up on a PPM system. Enchants/talents/etc. work two different ways in WoW.

"X% chance on hit" means exactly that. For every X attacks out of 100, whatever it is will proc. Fiery falls into the other category, called PPM. Procs Per Minute. No matter what the speed of your weapon is, it will pretty much always proc a certain number of times per minute. Fiery's PPM is 6.

I am willing to bet that your Warrior was using a slower swinging weapon than your Shaman. Even though it looks like your Warrior is getting less procs, he is not. (Or it could just be luck, heh. Don't worry about it, the game is not broken.)

Pretty much use Flametongue until you get Windfury.

Any enchant is good, really, back in my day when you levelled you couldn't afford enchantments, unless someone was giving them away for free.
