Alchemy is completely ruined at this point, and even if you fix it now it will take weeks to settle it down!
Each heroic done gives the healer and tank a bag that always contains 1 flask for end game raiding (yes you heard it, the best flasks drop from the suplies). Less one flask we alchemists will be making because people have easy access to them. This not only hinder alchemists but will also hinder herbalists because flasks are made mostly of herbs and you wont see alchemists mass crafting like they used to!
Not everyone raid, but almost everyone does his daily heroic dg. It is true raids are not out yet, but don’t be delusional because the prices will always be below crafting price, they may increase a bit, but not to the point it will be profitable.
Solutions: Either make the same drops as normal mode, or make it drop gems, herbs, ores, skins, cloths, stats foods, whatever you name it JUST DONT MAKE IT DROP ONLY FLASKS!
It was already nerfed hard. You’re asking for it to be nerfed further? Why? Do you think a green quality gem is enough to entice someone to play tank/healer? If, in the event that your changes get implemented and we now have a tank/healer shortage, what would you do to address that? Or do you simply not see that as an issue?
The supplies from heroics were never nerfed! Plus they drop the best flasks. You think it’s fair to screw an entire profession? That flask is the same as dropping a purple gem!
Bloomsday is a multi year troll who takes the opposite position of whoever he is trying to troll fyi op. Feel free to argue against him but it won’t go anywhere.
Ya no problem and yes you have no idea what this guy is… .one of the most dedicated trolls I’ve ever seen. He did this in the arena forums for a year before moving here.
Starting to get convinced that the flask drops are to deter bots from farming herbs because the value would be so low it’s not worth their time to farm.
If Blizzard are giving out free flasks for tanks and healers. Every Alchemist deserves 1000gold each week. I don’t see that boss health moving anytime soon without me and my two pumpers. So why do they get special incentives that actively ruin and harm the game for many others???
Is it because RDF is not in the game and heals and tanks are so hard and rare to come by?
Dude Ive been an elixir master since early TBC and i literally cannot sell anything. Everything is vendor price.
Its the same with potions albeit worse since mana potions were always our bread and butter with haste/destro only being profitable in large quantities…did you know it takes 5 actual minutes to craft 100 elixirs/pots?
Just getting to 450 is a giant net loss for any alchemist regardless of spec sincd all of it has to be vendored now.
Dude they have been nerfed into the ground. I did a full tank tour today and got zero flasks, a orange tabby cat some useless food/water/spirit scrolls and mana/hp pots I vendor… They are already trash boxes. Plus after like my 5th or 6th dungeon I stopped getting tank boxes all together, as did healer. Be prepare for all of the “tanking heroics, unwanted blues/purples reserved for tank” now that the boxes suck.
Yeah. It’s totally gutted alchemy and harms herbalism as well. Hope it gets further addressed this week, but it may be too late. We’ll, better late than never I guess.
