lol WoW professions!

So, I have to take a Mining Day to get Honor's Mining skill up to Outland levels. (She can't even mine Thorium yet because I suck!) I don't really use Engineering at all, and have leveled it even less than my mining. How much will I hate myself if I tack on another few hours of mining/prospecting and switch over to Jewelcrafting? A lot, right?

...I'm probably gonna do it anyway. brb looking up jewelcrafting powerleveling guides


(edit: Unrelatedly! I was looking at Cata stuff on Wowhead last night, and Divine Shield will only last 8 seconds. THE END OF BUBBLE HEARTH? DDDDDD:)

(edit2: I am also so scared about everything I've heard about paladins in Cata. I like Honor. I don't want to have to get a new main because ret pallies are going to suck again. :\)

I think if you've already levelled your mining up to a certain level it'll be annoying to start from the beginning with jewelcrafting (you need a lot of copper ore/copper bars), but it's not impossible. You get that nice racial bonus, and people are always looking for jewelcrafters to cut stuff for them if you want to make some money.

(Re: your edits, when you were talking about Priests the other day I was going to ask if you'd seen any of the analysis from beta testers because apparently everything is changing for healing classes. There's still a lot of retuning going on, but it looks like the new default is LOL NO MANA FOR ANYONE.)

I gotta say, that is why I love skinning as a gathering profession. You don't have to go out of your way to level it AT ALL. You just kill stuff! And then skin it!

Admittedly, when I went to Outlands it sucked for a little bit because I was under-leveled on my skinning but once I got up to where I needed to be, it went as usual, without me thinking much about it. And when I went to Northrend, I hit max skinning by the time I hit 70.
