Why kill alchemy blizz

first off id like to say im loving wolk. love the game play and everything about it exept 1 thing. Why on earth is blizzard throwing flasks around like candy to tanks and heals? that was alchemy’s main source of income and it is now completely destroyed the market. Tanks getting 2-3 healing flasks as a perk for tanking? they go strait to the ah and bomb the market.

im not saying they shouldn’t get some kind of rewards either. i like that tanks and heals are available, but why squash a proffesion over it?? frost lotus selling at 2g per?? its disappointing blizz didnt think this thru, alchemists should not be penalized for being one

WHY CAN’T I HOLD ALL THESE FLASKS?

runic pots are now cheaper than the mats to make them. Glad I’m not an alchemist trying to support a family. That’s why blizz lets you pick two professions, they’re telling you you’ll need them.

Eh, it’ll work out.

Any indication of whether keeping Alchemy is worth it? I don’t know if things will change? Are frost lotus best to sell to vendor? God forbid you have to pay the deposit when they don’t sell on AH for a 9s profit.

Alchemy is still very profitable, there’s just less potion types to auction at a high rate.
Speed potions, flasks for DPS: huge demand, solidly priced.

Why aren’t you engineering yet?

The only saving grace for alchemy comes in later phases, when they can create epic gems from blue gems on a cooldown.

But that’s only if they don’t also launch with epic gems being purchasable from the vendor immediately.
