best two professions to min/max stats?

[Mamut]

Twaman,

Where are you getting your JC stats?

Max SP gem is 19 http://thottbot.com/i39998
Max Stam gem is 24 http://thottbot.com/i40008

etc....

Also, just to make it a little clearer, max mining gives you 500 health, not 50 stam. (I.e. not benefit from kings/talents)

Also (again :P) You didn't include rocket boots for engineering.

JC only BoP Gems that are unique(3) and have better stats. 32 spell power and 41 stam. Mining adds stamina not direct hitpoints, this was changed recently in a patch.

Tooltip says +50 stamina.. is it incorrect and giving 500 hp instead?
another thing to consider is the +10% stam talents

I just did a search on thottbot... weird... thottbot bot only has those gems rated as a level 80 item and the ones i posted as and example a 100 level item. I didnt look that far now the list to see them. http://thottbot.com/?gem=All#A:::-6 That beening said... that makes JC not as appealing to me now. Thank you for showing me that.



Also, did they change the mining? It shows mining does give 50 stam?? http://thottbot.com/s53040 is this wrong?



I thought they made it so that the boots are no longer aloud in the arena?



Mamut

I thought i did put the BoP gems on JC as 41 stam and 32 SP? Did i get something wrong?

[Mamut]

Twyman, I was responding to Nachtkinder post, you had it correct

[Nachtkinder]

Ah, I could have sworn there was a post on arena junkies saying it was bugged, but I can't seem to find anything about it so I guess they do give 50 stam.

As far as rocket boots go, they can still be used in arena. They nerfed their time from 5 seconds to 2 seconds last patch though.

What do you guys think about 5 shammys with Engineering and Tailoring.

Damage trinket 3-4K damage + the hand rockets 1-1.5k damage + Back enchant for 1-1.2k damange = 5-7k extra damage at the start per shammy... x5 shammys 25-35k (Not including crits) extra damage opener. I just wish i knew if the trinket and rockets are on the GCD. If that is true that they are not on the GCD, then you could open up on 2 targets at once i think.

Thoughts??

[Mamut]

Engineering is gimmicky, if you like all the toys go for it. Id never drop it off my my rogue i have so much fun with it. But for my shamans i think tailoring/engi offered the least of all profs. I believe the lightweave for cloak is getting changed to a spell power buff proc in 3.1 (fake edit: The Lightweave tailoring enchant now sometimes grants a temporary spell power bonus instead of dealing direct damage to your target. as per the ptr notes"

My shamans and druids are all JCers, the prismatic gems are just to handy for me to get socket bonuses and meta requirements. Then i have a mix of chanting/BS/LW.

Peace

i was broswing the wotlkwiki recently (found here for those that dont know it) and they have projected epic gems (maybe leaked info, who knows) and they still wont be better than the JC only gems...could be mis-information but food for thought nonetheless.

Crappy april fools joke.

[Twyman]

Wow.... I guess tailoring is out. Hmmm, I see the value in JC gems, it can be hard to put the colors/stats you are trying to stack in the sockets to get your set bonus. But sometimes those set bonuses suck and aren’t even worth using a gem of that color just for the set bonus. Also, if you can use gems that are available to everyone vs the ones that only JCers can use. Is that increase in stats really more then... lets say mining (50 stam)?



Hey Mamut, do you know if the engineering trinket/rocket affects the GCD? Meaning, can you cast them and immediately perform an action directly after without waiting for the 1sec for rogues and 1.5 for everyone else? Also, how much do they hit for on average against a lvl 80 simi well geared pvp (resil) player?
