So, Shadowlands brought new Enchants for the various characters out there. These include enchants to enhance Strength, Agility, and Intellect. Unfortunately, the Strength enchant is on Gloves, while the Agility and Intellect Enchants are on Bracers and Boots. The Shadowlands Gathering enchant (which increases gathering speed for the various gathering professions) is also on Gloves. This means that Strength users have to choose between gathering speed or increased combat proficiency.
The other two types also have to choose between things like reduced fall damage and reduced hearthstone cooldown time, so it’s not like they are completely unscathed by this either.
What I would like to see is a duplicate “Shadowlands Gathering” enchant be added that goes on the Bracers. Make it so that the Glove and Bracer Gathering Enchants don’t stack, of course. But this would give Strength users the same opportunity to be able to have faster gathering and a stat increase.
Either that or make the utility enchants stack with the stat increase enchants, or make combined ones available: Strength+Gathering, Agility+Fall Damage Reduction, Intellect+Faster Hearth Cooldown.

I can agree with this. I wanted the hearthstone cooldown but it’s not to bad without it. Without gathering though I’d probably be forced to keep a pair of gloves for the express intent of gathering. Nobody should be forced to carry a spare pair of gloves to gather faster.

Keep a spare set in your bags for when you are farming.
Problem solved.
That is not a solution at all. Not all players farm. I don’t farm. I just gather what I run across and swapping gloves in this instance would take more time than just waiting for the longer gathering cast time.
This is a gross oversight on the devs part, but also very indicative of the current state of the game.

Have your current gloves enchanted with the strength, have a off piece gloves enchanted with the gathering enchant when your specifically going to do gathering. Crazy idea I know!
With the way they’ve homogenized a lot of things lately, I’m a bit surprised they haven’t done away with the enchant for Gearpiece X only system, and allowed you to enchant any piece of gear with any enchantment. And to prevent stat stacking, they could just make them unique equip: Primary/Secondary stat/utility enchant 2, 3, or however many they want to limit you with.
Since you can’t be troubled to actually read the thread before commenting I’ll reply directly to you.

Your comment like the one made a year ago that says the same thing is not a solution.
How bout someone over at Blizz just actually care enough to not have this be an issue in the first place? Crazy idea I know!
