8.1.5 is not a good time for blacksmiths

Community General Discussion

So I just saw what the professions are getting for the upcoming mini patch? not sure what to call it anyway we get a questline which is neat I approve but at the end of that quest well get an item and for blacksmiths its pretty meh. Basically well be able to repair 1 piece of armor and it has an hour cooldown meh. But wait there’s more now blacksmiths when making new weapons and armor well have a chance to proc indestructible…does anyone actually care about an item breaking or not anymore? I sure don’t lol.

With all that said I wanna point out inscription gets an item that lets you suck the blood from nearby corpses and it heals you which is totally awesome I just wish I knew if it worked in pvp or combat. I may have to go inscription with this upcoming mini patch thing.

Professions don’t matter unless you’re an herbalist anyway.

I’m so confused by the Alchemist 8.1.5 item…

Several tools of the trade feel pretty weak compared to others. The Alchemy one is insanely useful, you basically get free potions and flasks and an even higher proc rate for crafting. Compare that to Tailoring where you have a chance to get old content cloth… Yeah super useful.

Maybe if the items you craft with blacksmithing were actually kinda worth it. Even the high ilevel BoP ones aren’t that great and at most you’ll be wearing two pieces (belt and pants). So yeah you have a chance for your belt and pants to be indestructible, saving you what? like 500g until next season comes and you inevitably replace them with higher ilevel gear.

Blacksmithing is so useless now it’s pathetic; Look at the Monelite Skeleton Keys they craft which are useless, There’s not any lockboxes I’ve seen yet in BFA for them to unlock.
The gear you can craft where you have to run the raids and dungeons to get the mats to make them which drops gear better then can be crafted and the mats that drop are BOP so you can’t sell them; Useless profession all except for the stirups for the mounts.

it’s worthless. I could get enough gold to repair by farming 1 old raid.

Alchemy will always be safe.

Imagine if…

the dev team in 9.0 made all alchemy high ends (like flasks) BoP.

You know like they did with most professions.

The forum fury and flames…I shudder to think of that.

Yeah repairing one piece of gear doesn’t even save but maybe 10G.

Still continuing the trend of alch, ench, and engi being the only useful crafting professions. The rest just exist to feed ench shards.
