What are the benefits of Engineering and Alchemy for raiding?

[Dvorjak]

I used to raid on my hunter with engineering but I can't remember what to use with my engineering skill to a dps boost, same with my alchemy.

Suggestions?

Alchemy makes flasks last twice as long allowing for fewer to be used during raids other than that it has no raid benefits. engineering lost its DPS boost sometime ago.

[Dvorjak]

So there is no benefit to Engineering in raids? Are there any other professions that benefit?

DPS/HPS wise? non, was removed with WoD

Engineering got nitroboost/free health tonic
Alch, 50% less flasks useage
Ench, DE BoP epics, cheaper enchants

Alchemy for flasks and potions, as you consume through those quickly.
Engineering for profession-specific buffs not able to be traded/sold to other players (which has been hinted at being changed in Legion).

Engineering is proberly the only raid-boosting profession left in the game. If you play melee, the rocket boots can help you alot sometimes. Everything else has really no buff when it comes to dmg.

iirc rocket boots were disabled in raids

They're not disabled. They share a cd with potions though. You need to make the decision between a second agi/str/int pot, healthstone, or short term speed boost.

The boost from the rockets also isn't nowhere near as powerful when used inside a raid.

Yes this is what i mean, when using the boosts there is no difference in my speed.

All DPS/HPS increase bonuses from Professions were removed in Warlords. There isn't a single profession in the game that will boost your DPS/HPS.

Rocket boosts in raids are +80% with a longer duration down from ... what was it 350%? (They're still normal speed outside of raids) AND shares CD with DPS potions. If they still gave the full speed boost they might actually be worth using over a potion in some situations but in their current state they're only good for running back after a wipe.

Also Glider can't be used during boss fights anymore

Alchemy - Flasks lasts twice as long. Engineering - Jeeves (repairs) and Blingatron (not really a benefit), I guess you could count the Flexweave (parachute) and Invisibility belt. They just don't really offer that much of a benefit, certainly not any more DPS benefit. So more of quality-of-life-benefits then anything else.

healthstone shares the cd with healing tonic (ht heals for more, unles youre a warlock with glyph, so you should be using that and its from first aid not from alchemy anymore) but not with dps pots or speed boost
