As we often speculated, since epic gems are coming in the next patch, they’re going to be buffing the professions to keep them in-line with the new benefits blacksmithing will be getting (Blue post, WowInsider coverage).

Mostly it’s just minor stat buffs. The weirdest change is alchemy which is losing its arena-usable healing or mana potion and gaining an arena-usable 1 hour flask (hopefully the mats are easy) which only works for alchemists and increases your spellpower, ap, or strength. Yay farming?

EDIT: Nevermind, the new flask is not consumable, I’m bad.

Also the availability of new heirloom chests from the Argent Tournament means I guess I’ll have to start doing those awful dailies on at least one character. Yay farming?

Sidenote: if you’ve been selling your JC tokens now is probably a good time to start saving, since they’re going to be used to buy the new patterns. They haven’t said how many you’ll need but I’m guessing it’ll be at least as many as the current meta patterns. Yay farming?

(and they’re buffing pyro rocket damage, wheee)

Remember all the forum posts back in the day about how core the Mortal Strike effect was to PvP? How everything was balanced around its presence? We laughed and said “nobody would take a ret paladin or an enhance shaman over a rogue unless they can do twice as much damage!”

Who’s laughing now?
