Proper Spelling is the Difference Between...

"Because of my new profession, I would probably need to get my hands on an experienced miner."

and

"Because of my new profession, I would probably need to get my hands on an experienced minor."

Thank goodness for spell-check.

...

Ok. That aside, I don't think I actually noticed that the shift to Spellpower would affect DPS classes as well as Healers. Where I once thought that +healing gear were the only ones affected, I now realized, thanks to PuggyPriest, that anything that isn't "spell damage and healing" will get re-adjusted to spellpower.

That means goodbye, Frozen Shadoweave!

When 3.0.x hits, My overall damage is going to drop significantly, simply because my +300-ish frost damage will be converted to +200-ish spellpower, not to mention the supposed nerf specifically to FSW regarding the Spell Hit bonuses. All of a sudden, I don't feel so bad about hording up a bunch of off-spec gear. I already have a super-glamorous shoe collection that I could pick from to replace the FSW Boots, but I'm still looking for replacements for my badge off-hand, and the other two FSW pieces.

It now makes me wonder if I should give up the crafting protection in lieu for a gathering one in preparation for Wrath. I know that money isn't supposed to be a factor in Wrath, but even now, it feels great to have a nest egg to cover my expenses ahead of time. I've been spending a lot lately for consumables and such, and it's only inevitable that I will probably run out of funds.

If my funds hold out, I'll probably drop either my tailoring or enchanting for jewelcrafting. At first, I can use some of my alts to funnel the lower-level ore to my main and power-level it out a bit. But at higher levels, because of my profession, I'll need to get my hands on an experienced miner.

So all in all, I'm not exactly sure what to do. I might even just cop out and Mine/Skin my way into wrath, just for the cash flow.

I mined my way to 70, and I just had money all the time for no reason. Maximum convenience. I say drop tailoring as soon as you know that flying carpet is BoE.

Actually I'm just in the process of switching from herba to tailoring on Larisa. I figure tailoring could be a nice way to gear her for the raiding at lvl 80. I always regeretted never picking it up on my mage. Imo gathering professions is best to have on alts.

I tried gathering... discovered that you needed to be online to gather... farmed the AH instead.

Doesn't take up a profession slot yet provides income.

> crafting protection in lieu for a gathering one

Speaking of typos... not everything can be caught with a spell checker ;)

Here's a tip, something that I've found helps me - always, after posting, read the article with fresh eyes, as if you're reading something written by someone else. Don't skip over even a single word.

Usually (not always admittedly) this reading will turn up syntax and spelling errors.

Starting with season three and culminating with last Tuesday's show, Epic began crafting a story for Fortnite that felt large and ambitious in ways few other online games have pulled off buy cheap fortnite weapons. Players theorized an incoming alien invasion, and if Epic was planning on ruining the contentious in-game metropolis Tilted Towers as a means to tell a story and adjust the game's competitive landscape at the same moment. While it had been Dusty Depot, and not Tilted Towers, which endured deep impact, the effect remains the same. Epic crafted a story for an internet multiplayer game exclusively out of contextual clues, fortnite items in-game signs, and other forms of ecological storytelling. The final result is a game which feels richer, deeper, more and more meaningful than its battle royale trappings could have you believe.
