Why should I keep tailoring (or enchanting for that matter)? There is nothing there that I can’t get with gold. The tailor-only leg enchants are cheaper than the regular leg enchants, but no stronger. The cloak enchants are so far laughable and proc based (DPS based on RNG, gotta love it).

The flying carpet is sweet.

Everything else is BOE and buyable. Not to mention Tailoring is requiring three time the mats that BC Tailoring required. Even with cloth scavenging, I don’t feel like I have loads of cloth. I blew through 400+ pieces of cloth to reach 394 the other day.

What the hell is the point? Why not go BS and JC: extra sockets of BOP gem goodness. What about the leatherworking wrist enchants that blow naything else out of the water? I’m having my doubts about enchanting as well. As a DPS caster, +24sp per ring is the benefit of enchanting, or +48sp total. Leatherworking gets +67sp on their wrists.

Then there’s the PVP side: Alchemist only arena potions. Letting professions play into arenas is a shitty idea, but why not take alchemy then? They already have awesome trinkets.

So back to tailoring, why should I keep it? I’m 99% sure that I will, for a couple of reasons: I’ve had it for so long and I have a few rare patterns (which are now out of date :P). I don’t want those to be wasted really. The other reason is that there might be more down the line. Blizzard has said that they don’t like the idea of people taking professions solely to have the ‘best in slot’ items (sunwell robe/gloves, FSW starter set, etc.) and that they would rather people take professions that they enjoy.

Dear Blizzard, Not a lot of people enjoy the ‘work’ of the profession. Grinding out useless crap until capped (or just about capped) and able to bang out a few epic patterns for yourself is hardly fun. There are some people and some things that are not so bad, like JC - It’s a fun profession - everyone needs gems, and everything you make will be useful to someone. For the most part, professions are a pretty shitty necessity. I like working for good stuff, but I don’t want the work to be miserable.

So anyway again, why should I keep tailoring?
