Put more effort into your grammar by watching your spelling and avoiding chat room abbreviations. And enough with all the back-story already. It's not needed.

And I might have considered just giving you a warning, but the word "drood" is too fucking stupid to allow you any leniency.

Original Post:

Well sorry to turn the discussion to professions and gems, but i got a couple of questions. The first is what are the best professions for tanking droods?

So far i have minning maxed out. this gives me an extra 500 health, and keeps my bank nice and fat. So even if this is not the best choice for professions im probably goan stick with it for the money reason. So now i have to debate what to do for my second profession.

I do not want to do leatherworking because I have had this profession maxed out before and I found I out grew its usefulness once we got into the harder 5 mans. I have also had other characters with maxed out armor making professions and i found this to be a problem everywhere. So im probabbly not gona take leather worikng. This leaves me with a few choices.

The first is enchanting. The problem with this is that i already have 2 other enchanters, but that aside enchanting gives me 48 stam total for both rings, this means roughly 500 more health ( I apologize here for the estimate, but im not 100% sure the math for stam to health conversion on druids). So this is good because it will be useful for me throughout my entire raiding carreer.

another choice is alchemy. Alchemy gives me mighty alchemist stone which is not the best tanking trinket and will soon be replaced. So this does not seem like a good choice to me over the long run.

Inscription, acording to thottbott does not really offer any significant items for tanking druids. However if I am wrong and there is some item for tanks that only inscribers can get pls let me know.

The last proffesion is JC. With JC you get to equip 3 dragons eyes; and unless im mistaken I can equip 3 of the same dragon's eye on my gear. Delicate dragons eye gives me 27 agil per gem. This is 11 more points of agility than the delicate scarlet ruby, per gem. This adds up to 33 extra points of agility. Solid dragons eye gives me 41 stam gems and that is 17 points higher than solid sky saphire. This adds up to over 500 health which is more than the enchanting buff. thus making enchanting not the best choice for second profession. yeay.

The second thing Im wondering about is what gems should we be getting in general? Just from questing I have noticed that all gear has tons of stam adn decent amounts of agil. So should we be putting on more agil than stam for our gems in wotlk? or should we be stacking equal amounts or just agil? or just stam? Also how should I socket my dragons eyes? should i do 3 agil or 3 sam or a combination? So pls feel free to give me your opinions on the gem issue for wothlk, Im sure there is no best case senario, but your points of view will be greatly apreciated. Personally Im thinking to go 2 agil per stam gem, due to the greater stam stats in wotlk gear so far.

Lastly can anyone tell me how to get links to items posted on these forums. I am more of a reader than a poster, btu i realized that I need to learn to post links on forums for occations sucha as this.
