Regret Professions...Follow

I wouldn't say its too late. I also to a warrior that started with Alchemy/Herbalist. I always thought it would work great since it would boost my abilities and heal me because i solo alot. I got to 160 (I think) on Alchemy and decided to swith to Mining/Blacksmith because the same reason yours is. I am now a Lv 38 Elf Warrior (Shadowar on the Lothar server / Guild= Global Army) but to tell u the truth I havn't made one armor that i am using. I have made armor for others and have sold at the AH for good money. I am currently a 190 Blacksmith but because i solo and always pair with my buddy (Lv 35 Elf Hunter / Global Army) I keep having to buy healing potion at the AH. I have bought most of my armor from the AH. However, I have seen great armors on other player that make thier own. The point is if you solo alot then you would need something to help you with your health. Since I really havn't made armor for myself, I have regreted switching professions. Its also very costly if you cant find some of the costly items to make armors/weapons and also not able to sell at the price you want.

Bottom line is (this just me) I should of stay Alchemy/Herbalist because I solo and would greatly benefit from the buffs. I would of been 250+ by now (sad). Have I thought about switching back=Yes and will I=Probaly.

Also maybe i'm just to low in blacksmith to fully enjoy it ? I might never know.

Hope this help

Whyteshadow, I'm glad to see i wasn't the only one who thought maybe they had made a mistake in their profession choice. Maybe I should just stick with Herbalism and Alchemy for now and give it some more time. It should start paying off soon, at least when i get Artisan Alchemy.

Hulm, did you start Mining and Blacksmithing earlier in the game, or did you just put alot of time into it?

Well i have egnineering and mining, probebly the best end game skills posssible. Sure Alchemy and that might help you lvl but Engineering gives you items you can use for PvP.

The fact everything you can make with engineering requires engineering to use means it's a vitial skill. All other trade skills should be on an Alt as they dont directly help the char with it. I buy any Armour/Weapons i need and my Guildies normally supply me with better. But making Bombs and clicky effects help allot, seeing as im on a PvP server.

I'm a 245 Blacksmith/Miner, and I actually regret taking blacksmithing...What I should have done was mining/<some other gathering skill>. After doing the entire mithril order series of quests, all I can say is that I would be overflowing with gold had I not used up all those mithril/truesilver bars =( And seriously, the cost to make rare items is not often bested by the price it's sold. You can get better dropped items.
