Which other profession for raiding?
Ok, so currently I have enchanting for the ring enchants and have engineering, but seeing as engineering overall fails really for raiding( helms arent even better then t7.5) I was thinking of powerlevelign another profession. I was thinking Jewelcrafting or alchemy for the 4 hour flasks, however leaning more towards jewelcrafting, what do you guys think |

Re: Which other profession for raiding?
I would say jewelcrafting. Inscription will be a lot more lucrative in 3.1. As it is right now the only reason to get it is maybe vellums and the shoulder enchant. All around I would go with Jewelcrafting. |

Re: Which other profession for raiding?
I went BlackSmithing, I was tailoring / engineering, see how much eng fails as so many things, I weighed the factor that two extra gem slots (hands/bracer) can be very versatile. Depending on if 3.1 brings any worth-while tailoring recipes to play is the deciding factor on if I drop tailoring for jewel-crafting, which right now in my opinion JC+BS is one of the best profession combo's out there for raiding. |

Re: Which other profession for raiding?
Isn't a Lightweave embroidry a better cloak modification than that Archanonoweave Engineering enchant. I'd suspect that blacksmithing would be good for the additional eternal belt buckle slots you can supply. I think you can get three additional sockets added to any gear set which gives you some flexibility to add 3 +19 spellpower gems ....etc. |

Re: Which other profession for raiding?
Jewelcrafting hands down Ench/JC means a lot less cost when getting gear upgrades as well. |

Re: Which other profession for raiding?
I wouldn't go jewelcrafting now when they haven't released any new BOP gems (so the new BOE gems will diminish the JC BOP bonus). If it's just for raiding, BS is really good (extra sockets). I did alchemy to save money on flasks (4 hour flasks on live and +37 spell bonus). Most of the professions have 37 or 38 spell bonus except for BS which will have let you put in 3 Runed Cardinal Ruby so +69 spell power potentially. |

Say for now the lightweave wins. So he goes from Ench/Eng to Ench/Tail just for this, what does he doe if eng later ends up with better than lightweave? Switch back again? It's silly, and near pointless. |

Re: Which other profession for raiding?
With the changes to Flasks in 3.1, Herbalist/Alchemist if you are frugal. If not Jewelcrafting, Enchanting, and Leatherworking are all nearly equal in their crafter-only bonuses. Tailoring, sadly, does nothing but save you mats. |
