Should i pick up enchanting?

Post by Nevoron

Hey there,

i have a lvl 62 priest allready but i don't like the way she looks and i just lost fun/motivation to play my female UD priest any longer. I allways was a pvp-dude, didn't even go into instances much even tho everyone said i should go, gear n' stuff. Now i have an urge for PvEing and i want to play a Shadow Priest.

I started leveling an new one and everythings fine, i planned out to make the frozen shadowweave set in combo with the Spellstrike set and some heroic badge stuff to gear up for pre-raiding equip but that's not exactly my point, i wanted to ask if the 24 more spelldamage on the rings are worth picking up enchanting, i mean i allready have enchanting on my other priest and i also have it on my mage, it's expensive to level and i'm not sure if i want to pay that shit again for 24 Spelldamage.

OFC i wanna be as good equipped as i can but ... that would be my third char with Tailoring+Enchanting.

So is it worth it?

the ring enchants are not the reason to take up enchanting. it's just a nice benefit of being an enchanter.

the 24 spell damage is not that significant. i give up 24 damage by choosing budget gems over the rare ones. i've still got 1000+ spell dmg and do very well for my raids.

if 24 spell dmg is a concern, use wizard oil & shadow power pots

Enchanting definatly has some nice side-effects, you can make lots of money with it but its also expensive to level up.

I'll think i could take herbalism then, so i can farm the stuff for the wizard oil and the pots, do have a alchemy buddy, and also make some money.

Thanks so far.

I personally like being self sufficient. Yes, being able to enchant my rings is a bonus, but so is not having to rely on others prices/mats to get all your gear done. Profit is only made on the top-end and rare enchants in my experience, so money is not a motivator.
I have other toons to make me potions/gather so having enchanting on my main is the most benefical profession so I can "be all I can be" :)

I wouldn't agree. I took enchanting on my rogue solely for the ring enchants, however, it definitely depends on how good you gear is currently, and how serious you are about PvE.

In most cases it's not going to be the most money-efficient way to increase your damage.
