enchanting specializingFollow

Jewelcrafting and enchanting are the only two professions that don't allow you to specialize in some area or aspect. I'm curious to see if anyone has given any thought to what a good specialization would be for enchanters?

I'd spec DE

agreed, let some other sucker who paid a ton of money and wasted a lot of time farming reputation enchant my weapons, I will make my money.

Has anyone given a thought to the new profession that's coming in the next expamsion? Inscription. It's like enchanting, but instead of augmenting armor and weapons, it works on spells, talents, and skills.

Yea pretty much agree with most posts here. Doubt that you'd find a good specilization for enchanting or JC for that matter. Specing as a DE'er would be kinda stupid becuase as one post states, the AH would blow up with people trying to sell mats.

What I think would be kind of cool though would be some type of specilization for the different classes. Like maybe have a dps specilization so that certain enchants give better AP, +stamina, +crit, or for tanks +stamina, +defense, or +threat, then for those healers that seem so rare on my server + healing on flash of light, + 40 mana regeneration

That was in a future generic patch note for way down the line.

Anyway as far as the OP I have no real argument for JC specialization.

But an arguement against Enchanting Specialization is that enchanting is the only profession that comes with it's own gathering profession.

Engineering and Blacksmithing, both need to take mining to compliment it for mats.

Alchemy you need herbalism to compliment it.

Jewelcrafting needs both ores and bars from minning to compliment it

Tailoring doesn't really need any gathering profession since the majority of it's mats are cloth that drop off of humanoids, but at the same time it does use a lot of leathers from skinning, and gems from mining, even enchanting mats from enchanters.

Enchanting uses only mats obtained through disenchanting, which comes with taking the enchanting profession.

But like I said no real arguement for JC specialization. Hell I even thought of a nice one.

You can choose the path of the gem cutter and every time you cute a gem you get a chance at getting either a second cut gem out of the deal(I'm thinking along the lines of the transmute specialist in alchemy, only transmutes can get up to 5, but also has a 24 hour cd, so I limited it to 2 for JC since there is no CD).

Or you can go the way of the gem setter. Basically the guy who sets gems in rings and such, but for WoW it's more of a gear specialization where you get access to some nice trinkets and ring patterns.

Side Note: Engineerings specialization for the most part is still Pre-BC, it isn't that spectacular, unlike the other crafts specialization, both goblin and gnomish engineering are nothing noteworth that stands out in either specialization that wasn't there pre-BC.

Both are good ideas, but with those choices, why choose the gem setter. Better Gems for free?? Maybe if the gem setter could make BoP into BoE as some rings are real nice but only BoP
