Sorry brah, I should have invited you to the one I was in. We actually got more DPS in to kill Garrosh.
And fuck is his encounter still bugged. We had him mysteriously reset quite a few times.

No more combat perks so just pick whatever you want. Gathering skills might be a good place to start.

Gathering professions.
All of the combat 'perks' have been removed.
So really, you can go with whatever the heck you want. 'Most' of the tradeskill gear can be made in your Garrison in WoD. Having a tradeskill gives you access to extra cooldowns from the associated building and your own internal cooldown.
Keep in mind that you are limited to 3 WoD Crafted items worn at a time in the epic range. (Cloak (LW), Ring/Neck (JC), then there are 2 available pieces in your specific armor type (2 Plate, 2 Mail, 2 Leather, 2 Cloth, etc).

In all honesty it doesn't matter too much. It would probably be hard to catch up on something like jewelcrafting (daily recipe RNG thing to get the useful cuts) or enchanting (rep with august celestials for the good enchants) in the few weeks we have left so I don't know if there is any short term benefit. WoD is going to fuck everything all up and its hard to tell what garrisons will mean for gathering professions. I'd probably just say go tailoring and whatever else suits your fancy (jc, ench, insc would all be useful) so that you can start working towards the epic armor for yourself in WoD.

Hasn't enchanting been completely gutted except for weapons and transmogs?can't go wrong with enchanting, i'm highly considering dropping inscription for mining so i can do enchanting/mining on mine.
I have like 3 black smiths.. 3 jewelcrafters and 4 engineers with no miner anymore

as far as i know, they're adding neck and ring enchants that you can put them on yourself and other people, however they're only secondary stats.
It's always nice to have the ability to disenchant and enchant your own items though, since it saves quite a bit of $$
and makes good $$ if you sell the mats.

Well the Garrison mine does provide you with enough minerals to do the various daily cooldowns from both professions and your Garrison workorders so you should be good. What I don't really see, though, is any way to market the results of your tradeskill to anyone unless they are of the type who completely ignores both professions and the Garrison.

The big difference between your own and not your own tradeskill building is that you don't absolutely need the building at level 3 to make epics. Also, you can only craft the starter ilvl 640 epics; you can't make the upgrades to ilvl 665, and you'll have to purchase those on the AH.
And that speeds up a LOT the crafting of epics. Having a skill without building would give you base speed in crafting the BOP items, having the building without the skill means twice, the building plus the skill is three times faster (or 33% faster than without the skill). More or less.
Note that all WoD craft recipes are learnable at skill 1 and give 5 points per orange skillup. Meaning you can raise your skill to 600 reasonably fast. Not sure if getting to level 60 is faster (it probably is), but it's almost certainly not worth the aggravation if the 1-60 is boring for you.
Note that you don't need enchanting for that, you just need access to an enchanting building on your garrison or a friend/guildy's garrison who gave visit rights to you (does that work correctly?).
But otherwise, enchanting is a meh profession. No items, just a few boring enchants. Inscription kept its staves and trinkets (and the Darkmoon Decks do not count in the 3 crafted), Alchemy is pretty much unchanged save the perk loss, jewelcrafting is boring to tears (6 colorless gems for a single secondary stat only x 2 qualities, no meta - but at least it still has ring/neck). Tailoring/Leather/Smithing are pretty much interchangeable (save that smithing makes weapons while tailor/leather make capes, meaning a few more recipes for smithing).
Haven't seen how it works if you start your garrison as an herbo/miner (or skinner), since that opens none of the small buildings.

Plus side with garrisons at least you can get some ore naturally without having to have mining but I am in the same boat and probably will use my level boost on somebody with mining just to feed me some more mineral resources.can't go wrong with enchanting, i'm highly considering dropping inscription for mining so i can do enchanting/mining on mine.

I have seen on the beta forums a lot of people doing level up use the enchanter building that allows you to disenchant your own stuff at it without even needing enchanting skill.

Garrison Enchanting Building has a disenchant cauldron you toss your shit into regardless of your professions and it disenchants just fine.

That is kinda my plan run the enchanting hut during level up just so I can disenchant all of the things and then swap it out for something else later.
I have every profession maxed on my stable of characters, all the epic stuff for WoD is BoE right? Meaning I can just pick and choose which character to craft it on and upgrade it with and then mail it around?
