WoD - RIP enchanting?

[Chris2500DK]

It looks like all "highlevel" gear is marked "cannot be disenchanted".
wod.wowhead.com/items=4?filter=minle=615;cr=166;crs=6;crv=0

And the level 3 Enchanter's study can provide the same enchants as the profession can. There's no special gear to make, and no upgrades to get.

So unless that changes I don't see any reason for having enchanting at all in WoD.
Sure hope that changes before launch.

Just like with all profession buildings, if you don't have the profession, the building doesn't offer everything.
Without having the profession you can't create the good weapon enchants and you can't create the epic mats that have a daily cooldown. Those daily cooldown mats are required for all but the cheap enchants.

Ok that makes a bit more sense.

Do you need to have the mats for your building to create enchants?

If everyone has enchanting in their Garrisons then this Profession is more alive than ever, not RIP.

That is like saying cooking is more alive than ever because of savage feasts - it's a complete falsehood as far as player professions are concerned.

@OP enchanting building looks like a nobrainer for majority of people to take, which will indeed mean enchanting comes out extremely weak

i think it cant be disenchanted by non-enchanters

[Serzha]

What kind of link is that? At least link to "Disenchantable: No" if you want to show a list... here you go:
Non-disenchantable 615+ ilvl items.

... huh, PvP items, Timeless isle style tokens and.. oh my, archaeology items!
So many weird out-of-place items on that list!!!! (<- Sarcasm)

[Shauren]

What about this then? First non-legendary-ring-related item in OP list http://wod.wowhead.com/item=113863&bonus=567 - "Cannot be disenchanted" above the screenshot

[Gorsameth]

http://wod.wowhead.com/item=116837 this item is listed as "cannot be disenchanted" and yet I have done so 2 seconds ago on the beta

I chalk this up to a bug in Wowheads datamining and not as an actual fact.

[Chris2500DK]

Oh nice, thanks for sharing that. Makes me feel a bit better for the chance of being able to DE raid drops.

[Serzha]

Wowhead (as far as I recall) has the small "Cannot be disenchanted" by default on items until it gets info from clients that it can actually be disenchanted or not. After this it will either show what it disenchants into or be tagged with a true "Cannot be disenchanted" and thus show up in the listing.

Protip: Use the damn client and upload data to Wowhead.

Basically what other posters have said. Yes the enchanter's study will give you access to some of the enchants but not the high end ones so you'll still need an enchanter to make you top-end enchants.

The good news is that the study will give you an easier way to DE items as you are leveling so you can provide mats for enchanting later on. However, note that you can also use the enchanter study of a friend's garrison (as long as you're invited to their garrison).

For enchanters, having the study helps boost your mat generation AND gives you access to the illusion weapon enchants as well.

My mistake Gorsameth. Apparently non-enchanter's with enchanter's study are only excluded from accessing weapon enchants

I don't believe you are required to have enchanting to access the illusions.

People love to channel their inner Fox News. You could have easily titled this " Do you think enchanting will become less popular with the enchanters study abilities?"

WOD is pretty much RIP professions as a whole.

Combat perks are gone
There's very few new recipes
They're infested with cooldowns and output caps
Gemming, enchanting and tinkering reduced to a shadow of its former self

No more shuffling.

I like the removal of combat perks.
let people pick what they want, but the fact that every profession is gated behind cd's is very disappointing.

And no there are not less recipes. they are just less throwaway leveling recipes that you make a couple of times on your way to max skill and then never touch again.

I don't mind the removal of combat perks, but garrisons do make the player professions near redundant... once the gear rush is over over half of them will be entirely redundant.

Armor crafting we dont know since we dont know if they add more armor next tier.
Again, no best enchants, no best flasks without having the profession, they are by no means becoming redundant.

They are the same way inscription is already practically redundant outside of the trinkets in MoP.

A handful of people on a server of thousands can serve those markets. The only "best enchants" are weapons which are VERY rarely upgraded. Generally the rarest.

Incorrect. Breath of X is the best you can do without having enchanting itself.
Gift of X is the best enchant and its there for every stat/item not just weapons.

Has this changed? only a few builds ago both were available from the garrison
