Raiding Professions

[Snuglz]

Hi, I had a question regarding reasoning behind choice of raiding professions. I have been following methods success for quite a long time and have nothing but the highest opinions on your guild and wish you guys the best in ulduar :)

I currently play a holy paladin and am using JC/BS ( http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... l&n=snuglz (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Laughing+Skull&n=snuglz) )

I had noticed that lots of players in your guild (including the holy pallys) have decided to go with JC / Alch. My question is, how do you guys like alchemy compared to the 2 extra slots from BS? Would you recommend it as something worth switching to for ulduar? Never had experience with crazy alchemist's potions, but they do look like a nice perk on top of the flask benefits.

Also 1 last question (haha sorry) for Protec, I was watching your thorim PTR video and was intrigued by your choice of flask. Pure mojo a flask you use commonly, or just a situational one? I personally have been going back to the old school flask of distilled wisdom lately.

Sorry for the long post and I really appreciate your time in reading this :)

Hey,


Yea both me and Protec are running Alch / JC, JC says itself

Alchemy has the increased duration _AND_ effect on flask. (around +37 spell dmg on spellpower flask, and 2 hours extra)
The Crazy alchemist potions can proc you 2x mana potions etc, and are very cheap to make.

Protec is normally using Intellect flask, personally i prefer +spell dmg flask, i like the good amount of spell dmg you gain, and i like to spread stats out more then only doing 1 full out. One reason i like to use spell power flask, is the reason that i like the small boost it gives, so i can use Divine Plea and still heal for somewhat decent amount, and i feel like i have enough intellect for the fights duration at the moment.

But im going to grab both the intellect and spell dmg flask, but i would prefer to use the spell dmg most of the time.

Thanks much for the quick reply and all the helpful info :)

I've been very tempted to drop BS for alch for a while now... luckily it's one of the cheaper profs to level :P

BS is still really good and it will scale with new gems (no one knows yet if there will be new prismatics), I would have kept JC/BS until more info comes out on what the Ulduar patch brings.

Ya I haven't dropped it yet, had just been thinking about it for a while now. That is a good point however, if they don't buff other profs, epic gems will give BS a nice boost over the other profs.

Alch is just for us casuals that wants cheap potions and longer flasks !
