This was somthing I brought up in the 1.9 patch notes leaked thread, and I'm going to repost it here, for opinions :)

* Enchanters can now turn some of their dusts and shards into magical oils. These oils when applied to weapons add a temporary bonus to magical damage or mana regeneration that stacks with permanent enchantments. The lower levels of these recipes are found on normal enchanting vendors. The higher level versions are found on special vendors and are rewards for high Zandalar faction.


This might be my former alchemist self complaining, but why enchanters and not alchemists for Wizzard oil? It is a consumable placed on a weapon, much like Frost Oil or Shadow Oil. And both of those are oils as well! Furthermore, enchanters are already getting additional stuff: new recipes are available in TAQ and RAQ, right? And they get the new Nexus Crystals as well. Alchemists get a transmute heart of flame to elemental fire... which is on the transmute cooldown timer, I'd wager, making it completely worthless. Enchanters also get recipes with Cenarion Circle faction now... blah...

Anyone else think the consumable Wizzard Oils should be an alchemy creation instead of an enchanting one? I have seen enchanting as permanent buffs to items, with alchemy being temporary ones. They each have some variation (enchanting can create wands, and alchemy transmutes), but basically they fall into this category. Anyone else have thoughts on whether these new spells oils seem out of place with enchanting? ^_^

I think its mostly a solution for the "I can't sell anything in the AH"-Problem. As an Enchanter you allways need to find someone to buy your enchantments while you are online. This eats into your playtime massively. It's about time, Enchanters get the opportunity to make something, people will buy over the AH.
(No, nobody buys those Enchanter-made Wands...)

Well they chose to be enchanters, if you want to make potions, take up Alchemy, sorry enchanters(I already buy dust for arcane protecion potions, istnt that selling someting)but you chose that profession, the one that is about permenent enchants. If this is done it would only be fair if alchemest can make items that prmenetly modify armor/weapons.*

I buy player made wands untill level 21(when ya can start running instances for better)


*I know somebody will say transmutes are permenet, but then so are shards, so going that path is pointless.
