That I need alchemy to make the best and most profitable gems. I spent so much effort and time into leveling these up for my alt paladin, just to hear that I can't make any good profits out of this without alchemy.
FML.
I understand that professions should have SOME co-dependance, but to stop me from being able to make the BEST gems of my profession by putting them in the hands of another profession is quite simply, infuriating.
It might be tolerable to level up Alchemy on an alt, but Alchemy is such a massive freaking pain to level up.
It's such a pointlessly inconvenient way of doing it.
