Team professions

[Ualaa]

Any team that is a consideration for heroics has one toon with Enchanting.
I tend to have Skinning, Herbalism and Mining across each of my teams, although I rarely farm I like the option to grab anything I come across.

All except two of my toons (who are 75+) have Alchemy as one of their two.

Tailoring on your tank (counter intuitive from a benefit perspective, but it means that you can loot tons of extra cloth in northrend and cata without having to switch off your tank) and enchanting on another toon. I have alchemy on all but one of my 85 team.

Because I wanted something cheap and fast I did herbalism on two toons (+80 average haste with a little heal), then blacksmithing on my healer (you only need to get partway through wrath level bsing to get the wrist and glove sockets, not all the way to cata) and now I'm working on JC on one of my mages to have a second set of dailies and get the gem patterns I want faster once epic gems hit.

PS. Alchemy is cheap and you may want to try to keep it at the same level for your team so that you'll actually use the low level elixers rather than junking them!

additionally: Alchemy gives you a 359 trinket, a daily transmute worth 100+ gold (I do volatile life to airs, 4-19g x 15) and double length flasks (and a permanent half flask, if you're feeling cheap). All for 2-4k gold. No other profession comes anywhere near the price or the benefits.

Why is truegold going up in price in 4.2?

Should I be saving my TG now or sell at a small profit (like air/fire/water is costing 350 and 15g for the bar so like 365 and I am sell at 430ish or so /of course I benifit from trasmute skill/)?

I'm stacking all truegold I can get to craft the new gear that comes out in 4.2 and that requires truegold.

most (if not all) boxers now run with some form of IWT, so you don't need to shift focus off your tank. just glance at the tailors window and check if the mob is sparking and use IWT to loot the cloth drop. same principle for herbing and mining mobs
