my main is now 375 herb/alch... just a run or two away from being master of elixirs...
main reason i went with herb/alch was that it was a money maker in the pre-tbc days and i've stuck with it for a while.
now i see such nice purple goodness that can be crafted... furthermore, it seems that smiths were "rewarded" in tbc with BoP epics...
granted that one of the major mats needed, you have to run kara/heroics/endgame but i'm seriously thinking... will it be worth swapping to blacksmith in anticipation of what's to come in the new expansion... and also to help me gear a bit better and update my quested blues?
