What change are they making to Molten Armor?
Oh, I missed the spirit change. I thought it was only on the glyph. Heh. Oh well, with the glyph I will get more from it than I get now.

You get a retadin who dual-specs Holy, he'll whine and cry about having to heal. But when he/she swaps out his healing will be so horrible the group will wipe left and right anyway.

I'm planning on adding Holy as my secondary for PvP. I'll just pretend I can't heal in raids or dungeons.

- Level JC if you haven't already. Spend 1-2k (max) to go 1-330+ and be high enough to do basically everything you need to do to use prismatic gems.
- Spend 2 weeks' tokens on the few good recipes you'll want that sell like hotcakes (delicate+bolt ruby, luminous+veiled topaz, insightful earthsiege) then if you don't care about getting more recipes you make about 120g in 5-10mins every day killing no more than 5 mobs for the JC daily. In less than a month you'll pay for the cost of powerleveling it.
- Look at the price of cut vs uncut gems and go into a market where you'll make enough for it to be worth the time. I personally only fuck with orange, purple and red gems and only mess with others if I get really bored or end up with more than a stack of uncut green/blue/yellow gems (or I'll cut a bunch and put them in our guild vault, only out maybe 20g that way so no biggie).
- I buy orange uncut gems for 20g then cut and relist for no less than 35g. I buy uncut purple gems for 15-20g and relist cut gems for 30-35+. I also buy any red gems under 70g and relist for 90-100g buyouts.
- Metas are also nice, you can buy skyflares cheap and cut to Chaotics that sometimes sell nicely. They're down to 30-35g on Tich now so I have a stack sitting around waiting for prices to go up. Earthsiege I buy for 30g uncut and relist as Beaming/Insightful/Relentless that sell for at least 60g once cut.
- If you have an enchanter you can also make shitter rings that require a couple green-quality gems and some crystallized earth and then in turn sell stacks of enchanting mats that are overpriced. My main is JC+Enchanting =D

90 minutes or so per week at the AH for 1-2k profit (counting gold also made in raids).

- Non JC way to make big bank is to buy out cheap Dragonfin Angelfish and cook 40str or 40agi food. Warriors and Rogues don't use feasts in raids because dragonfin shit is better so those always sell. I buy stacks of fish for 30-45g, cook them with northern spices I get doing dailies, and resell the stacks for 110g for a nice 50-60g profit.

- Even if you have 50 of an item don't put them all on the AH at once. I normally only put 2-3 of any gem cut or stack of food up at once and toss another up whenever one sells. The times I'm lazy and just throw up 10 gems I almost guarantee someone will undercut me and half of them will come back in 2 days.

Most professions have a trick or two in order to make easy money, just find one that isn't already being exploited and make some easy gold. If you can't necessarily make a lot with crafted or cut items then if you have a gathering profession you can make a lot there as well. Herbalism is $$$$, mining can be but it's nothing like it was 2 months ago. Enchanting you can make scrolls that are always in high demand for the lazy.

Thanks.

I have an alt that's already 375/375 Chanting/JC from BC. I'd heard this was uber profitable but I figured everyone was already doing it. Maybe it's time to pick it up again.

Would be interesting to see some prot warrs in 3s. Doubt it'll happen though. Juggernaut /w Imp intercept specs will be interesting though.
 
Prot's been pretty good, but the changes to Warbringer make it much more appealing to me :>

My 3's (DK/Pally/War) will be trying 3s with Prot, with me as much more of a CC class.. we'll see how it goes.
 
You can still get Imp. Intercept and Juggernaut, you just sacrifice Bladestorm

Might be viable in a 3s environment... don't think it'll work in 2s though as we don't do enough damage to pressure a kill otherwise
 
My favorite things of the entire patch aren't even related to Ulduar.

Fishing and cooking are finally easier and something I will actually level up now. Also, all the UI changes are amazing (dual talents, new talent ui, outfitter, etc).
