Skinning

[Ñightsham]

Was doing a few heroics today and when I did Azjol-Nerub, I was unable to skin any of the bosses.
Now says "Requires Skinning 455".

This a bug or did I miss a update/post somewhere?

I had no problems skinning the trash in heroic nexus last night, but could not skin Keristraza (same error you got: requires 455 skinning).

My guess is that they converted the bosses to level 83 mobs in preparation for cata. This is the way bosses were in vannilla IFRC. Need to have Finkle's Skinneror a Zulian Slicer to skin the higher level mobs.

Yeah... Other bosses that you should be able to skin, you needed 455. So I guess I can carry +5 skinning enchanted gloves.

I also noticed that this also applied to mining ( could not mine Ormorok the Tree-Shaper either) req'd 455 mining
