    Epic Gems in 4.2?

    Will we be getting epic gem cuts in 4.2 with Firelands? Any word on that yet?

    Doubtful, I haven't heard or seen anything about them being released. Back in Wrath, epic gems weren't released until TOC (third tier of raiding). If Cataclysm follows a similar time line, we will not be seeing them being released until the raid tier after Firelands.

    True but there were the epic gems from the fishing daily in 3.1. Maybe they will add something like that.

    Not quiet the same. They were unique. IMO to far to decide ToC content afaik was unplanned.

    Just remember, they'll have to buff the JC gems to be +27 better than the new epic gems and then they'll have to raise every single profession bonus in line with that change.

    And I can't see Blizz happily handing out free stat points until the gear levels improve to the point that these figures aren't a significant % anymore.

    It will probably happen in 4.3 as the wrath ones appeared after uld (excluding the fishing ones). just a open guess..

    If it was unplanned, why was the map in the Blizzcon BEFORE Wrath came out when some guild had to fight all the wrath 5man bosses at once, they used the ToC arena map with thrall janina and the king all in view

    Pretty sure the epic gems will come in 4.3 to balance out the stat jump, question is how, new type of ore, CoT raid or what?!
