Herbalism or (dis)enchanting?Follow

Currently, my 59 DK has herbalism and skinning.

I plan to keep skinning since I want the extra crit bonus. And I *was* planning on dropping herbalism (I just picked it up for extra loot while doing rep quests in lowbie zones - thanks inscription!) for (dis)enchanting since level 60 or so you run into a lot of soulbound items.

But now I'm wondering if I should level herbalism up because of the lifeblood bonus. I mean, given that my DK currently doesn't have any 'healing' spell. Just spells that rely on currently being in heavy combat. And, since my main is a druid, I'm not accustomed to playing a character that cannot easily self-heal.

So the question is, is the money made from disenchanting better than a bonus HoT (lifeblood) for a DK?

you need to skill up enchanting to DE, and youd get personal ring enchants if you do that

so... i mean for dps, enchanting would be better performance-wise... but costly to do

the HoT isnt that potent, and if you want self heals.. go blood, imp rune tap alone does the job better then lifeblood

its melee, you arent gonna heal yourself easily without maelstrom weapon lol

think of lifeblood as a nice bonus to herbalists.. not a real reason just to skill it all up

DK really don't need more self heals. I wouldn't take herbalism for the bonus.

I took enchanting on my DK mostly because my DK is going to be my farming toon. They have great aoe, like a mage, but not squishy and have self heals. That and they're a ton funner.
