Thread: PTR 3.0.8 Notes update - Professions and Bug fixes

On the other hand, cloak embroidery is WORSE than the basic +haste enchant you can put on your cloak once you reach a certain amount of gear ..... amount which is reached with... heroic gear .

Tailoring has about 10 points under the available haste enchants.
engineering is about 20 points worth, vs the 20-22 points worth of default enchants.
So, you're right on that part.

The helmet isn't hard to replace, there's plenty dropping in naxx-25. They're ugly as sin though.

I use tailoring on alts, to make bags.
BoP gear isn't worth it for any profession really, so the +32 stats is the only reason to keep any of them. Currently, tailoring and engineering fail in that regard, especially compared to inscription and jewelcrafting. Blizzard really needs to fix that, as it's currently simply not worth holding either profession in favour of levelling the others.

Even gathering would be better.

It was OP anyways, no matter how you look at it.

Since mining now only requires one hit to completely exhaust a vein/deposit/node (while still getting the same amount of ore, stones and gems as the multi-hit system), do you get the same amount of skill increase as if you had to do multiple hits to exhaust the vein/deposit/node?

What is preventing you from tinkering your main belt? The tinkered part doesn't affect your ability to do anything else to the belt, plus it's not like there's an enchant or anything you can add to it.

you never got multiple skill increase from 1 node.

Also to the couple of people that asked about the Warlock dots being affected by creature time: they were talking about when you wear items that increased spell damage vs. undead not counting.
