3. Alchemy
While Alchemy doesnât produce any Bind-on-Pickup items (besides one thatâs more trouble than itâs worth), making your own potions will generally save you money in the long run, especially after you consider the absurd prices people want for them in the AH.
Useful potions that alchemy produces:
Major Healing Potions â A real no-brainer here. Heals you for 1350-2200 HP instantly, with a 2 minute cooldown. Since we canât heal ourselves (beyond bandaging tricks), healing potions are a necessity.
Major Rage Potions â Instantly gives you 60 Rage and increases your Strength by 75 for 20 seconds. Shares the same 2 minute timer with healing potions. You always want a handful of these, since a quick 60 Rage can be a godsend at times, and the Strength bonus increases both DPS and blocking. Preferable to healing potions when you have a healer buddy around.
Greater Frost, Fire, Shadow, Holy, Nature Protection Potions â Absorbs a certain amount of the specified type of magical damage, and shares the same 2 minute timer with healing and rage potions. Protection effect lasts 30 minutes. Obviously, these are extremely useful if you know what spec of Mage youâre going up against. Best used well before battle, so you can drink a Rage or healing potion when you need it. Use Holy Protection potions when youâre facing down a Paladin, and Nature Protection potions when combating Shamans.
