I think you should just give everyone 2h flask buff time across the board. I finished leveling and am gearing a holy paladin (an alt). It’s my 3rd (non-casual) alt and I picked mining and engineering. I’m a LF Dran and went engineering because of the racial ability.
But you know what, I’m probably just going to go get alchemy for the 2hr buff time only. Because when I’m doing dungeon queues consistently I just really must have that 2h buff time to keep myself topped off.
How about just give everyone the 2hr flask buff time across the board. Just give alchemy something else that still make it unique as a profession. I’d would simply appreciate something cosmetic only to replace it. Like the hearts bane curse toy…can have some more glowy effects to the game.
TL;DR Give everyone 2hr flask time. I’d like to do other professions, not be forced to have alchemy. I have alchemy on every raiding alt. Could we have a little more balance in professions?
