Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?

anybody know what happened to the buff to the jewelcrafting only gems? i could have sworn that they were buffed on the ptr, but nothing has changed since the patch went live. surely its time to buff it now as its pretty damn easy to get fully gemmed in epics, its called the auction house

easy? I suppose its easy, but incredible costly to outfit 10 characters with fully epic gems.

Why would he need to outfit 10 characters? You raid progression content with 10 characters at the same time? How do you find the time to come here and pick apart posts? Originally Posted by medievalman1

JC specific gems were indeed buffed on PTR but since the way to acquire a full set of epic gems for all your gear is hard and more time/money consuming, I believe they left them as they are since JC only gems are sub par to other profession bonuses, ONLY if you are fully epic gemmed on all slots (or almost).If you are still mostly using blue quality gems then they are still as good a bonus as any other profession.
Possibly they will add the change to those gems at a later patch , when most people are using mostly epic gems.

Doesn't sound like we are ever getting our Chimera Eyes buffed.
Which is bullshit if you ask me. They claim epic gems have "low drop rate", I guess they still haven't found out about people duping them?Originally Posted by Blizzard EntertainmentMy Gaming Setup | WoW Paladin (retired)

Yes, its very time consuming to look on http://blue.mmo-champion.com/, spot a "Recent Threads from MMO-Champion" that looks "interesting" and post a one-liner that apparently picks apart a post. And while I'm at it, he never mentioned anything about progression content, but he did mention how "pretty damn easy to get fully gemmed in epics" via the auction house is. To which I would argue that yes it is easy, but incredibly costly to do so for 10 characters. To simplify this point it'd be costly to do so for just one character. Originally Posted by Promark

Why do they think epic gems are hard to get. Most people are clearing DS several times a week on alts. I personally have got gems coming out of my ass, faster than I can get the gear to use them in.

2012-02-03, 01:21 PM #11DeletedThis. And besides that I am on a medium populated realm with a small AH and I still have more red/orange epic gems than I can currently use. I think it's pretty sad JC gives the worst bonus now, where the professions used to be pretty equal. Originally Posted by Nekovivie

"do not currently have any plans to" != "will not ever"

My druid is missing 2 gems for full epics and my hunter is missing like 4-5
Neither are JC's or blacksmiths though

Just another example of how Blizzard can't be bothered to introduce/fix something that players are asking for. I'm sure it would have taken only a few hours of time to introduce a "perfect" epic gem cut that required an epic gem to craft, that created an BoP +77 stat Chimaera's eye. That way, a fresh level 85 JC didn't get a stat boost bonus over other players (with epic gem prices still being high, anyway) yet when fully kitted with epic gems JCers didn't get stuck with a +51 bonus from professions.
Instead, they put teething rings and tiny teeth on baby crocolisks. Good eye, Blizzard, good eye.

So now, Blacksmiths are by far the best profession for crafting profs and Jewelcrafters are the worst, behind all the others and behind one of the gathering profs too (Herbalism)
