[WoW] A Hard Day's Work: The Profession Thread

I think discussion on professions will be sparked once we get all the new goodies of TBC. Let's discuss the changes:
Specialization Respec: A fee will let you change your spec rather than grinding up again. Say, going from Hammer or Armor smithing.
More Specializations: Tailoring can go into specs like Spellfire. Alchemy will have specs that don't let you make unique items, but rather get additional items when you create it.
Exclusive Perks: Engineering dominated the scene because it by and large had items only engineers could use. Most worthwhile stuff was only useable by engineers. Well, this is spreading to other professions. Enchanters will be able to enchant their rings but ONLY theirs. Each branch of Leatherworking, Tailoring, and Blacksmithing will have an "epic chain" of items that get progressively better.
New Stuff: Tailors can make nets. More stones for Blacksmiths. Leatherworkers can make battle drums and better armor kits. Some professions are not all about armor and weapons anymore.
Better Stuff: The items made by crafting are significantly better than before. There's less garbage and more stuff you actually want to use. More epic gear to craft and of higher quality.
New Profession: Jewelcrafting will be picked by many players on launch day and might even be leveled up before the player starts their trek to 70. While initially only making necklaces, rings and trinkets, after 60 players will start carving gems needed for socketed armor.
My only question right now is whether or not to get Blacksmithing or Engineering on my new Paladin.

-edit- also a paladin.
However, I now have a 4th level 60 (a warrior) and after seeing the new blacksmithing recipes (specifically, the armor), I've been grinding like crazy. Money is no object.
YOU MUST HARVEST MORE VESPENE GAS!

Engineering. It will help fill in your range issues and the teleporters are a massive benfit. Also most of the pre-60 blacksmithing stuff sucks for your itemization. And the post 60 stuff will be out of date at some point. Where as grenades and teleporters are always useful.
Those 69-70 Undeads drop a few pieces.

Try getting enchanting past 260.
Each point will cost you upwards of 50g.
LoL: failboattootoot
When I did Enchanting to 300 it cost me relatively nothing to get those last points. I sit in IF saying "Will do these enchants if you bring mats" hardest part was that this was before you could link enchants so I had to answer every tell with a mat list.

If you want to play League of Legends, here is my refer a friend: So I get points

Dream dust costs 10g on your server? http://thottbot.com/?i=11948 ftw!
I had tribal LW/skinning on my druid for 1-60, eventually dropped skinning for herbs (lol raid consumables), and then enchanting (lol Smoking Heart of the Mountain and nothing better to spend my gold on). Now I'll probably keep enchanting, since with four more points he'll be able to DE anything up to level 70, which is more rare after they "fixed" DE, and drop LW for herbs. I miss picking flowers and fuck crafting professions, seriously.
Except now I'm really tempted to get jewelcrafting on my mining/skinning warlock.... out, vile thoughts!
Most noticeably, are the skins of shadows from scholo... I could be sitting on a gold mine of me selling Shifting cloaks for 400g a pop but I HATE SCHOLOMANCE.
The last time i went i needed only 1 more SoS and guess what, it dropped off the LAST of the mini bosses before Gandling. The time before that, 5 dropped just getting to Rattlegore's room!
:x

Now i got rid of engy to get back skinning (again, to raise LW back to 375) and not cost me a fortune in knothide leather/whatnot but i do plan on getting engy AGAIN once i hit 70.
I already miss my Gadgetzan teleporter, XL cables, reflector, repair bots.
Plus i want my polymorphing trinket

plus i can still make bombs, and mining is a great moneymaker.
my alt is going to be tailoring/JC, ive got mats stocked to level JC out on day 1.. i think. i might be slightly short on 1-2 things. Runecloth Bag just turned green, i think im in the 280's ;p i was under the assumption that i dont need 40 days of xmuting to get the last 10 points, hope im right >.<
+15 to all stats (str/stam/int/agi/spirit)
Increases the effect of potions by 40%.
It effectively replaces your old stone for transmuting. Yay for more bag space.
would work if it worked on flasks too

So little to make...
edit: also I like the idea of a druid in flight form with a riding crop equipped
More pre-huhuran potion begging? Just what I needed, thanks!
Do the drums make noise? That would be awesome.
So i've only been a 300 alchemist for a few weeks now, I have all the transmute stuff, but what is this "stone" you are referring to? Do you need it for transmutes? (I have yet to try and transmute something)
Philosopher's Stone, you make it using various crap and it is required for all transmutes. You should have picked it up a 'few weeks ago' and been making money off Transmutes by now
Well, I guess I have something to do tonight while I decline raid invites from whining guild members.
I'm guessing it involves just sheerly overmatching them with five people or something, but it still seems like they'll whack you silly.
I sure hope they do.
Tailoring cooldowns are NOT repeat NOT SHARED.
This is important and was planned...the devs are planning for tailors to trade cloth, big time. Most of the BoP sets would take over 4 months if you just used the cooldown every time it was up and got no outside cloth.
(*if you specialize in that cloth you double your output per cooldown...2 for 1)
So you "should" be able to get ~4 pieces of cloth per hit...2 from your spec...2 for trading off the other two . (assuming all cooldown cloth sells equally...)
