I shouldn't guesstimate

It appears I was horribly wrong in the previous entry. 2000 gold total would be a great price to pay. I've bought most of the mats to get to 300 enchanting, and I find myself down about 1000g. I still need to spend near 500 for the illusion and dream dusts. I suppose my only comfort is that for the past year I have been sending all my greens to the same disenchanter who should probably have such a large stock of lvl 60-70 mats that I won't need to spend a dime on them.

Of course, it'll turn out that enchanter probably sold them already and I'm screwed!

Anyhow, I'm now farming Stratholme to make back some pretty pennies and to get the remainder of what I need. You know what I've discovered? Destro locks need about 2 minutes between pulls in their. I need my voidwalker to be able to aoe taunt so I can SoC the skellies up and blast the group to hell. That's a 2 minute cooldown. DO NOT LIKE.

Instead, I'm trying out this guy's suggestion found in this post. He advises the best warlock farming technique is insta-cast dots and siphon life coupled with sac'ing my voidwalker for even more health regeneration. Ok, sounds good in theory. And my 14k self buffed health in pvp gear probably won't hurt either. If not, I can always switch to the shadoweave set I have to allow for an extra health regen of 2% of all damage dealt. I'm pretty sure the pvp set will be better.

/2 wtb 1 spell damage, pst.

What is the price that casters will pay for a single point of spell damage? Apparently, I value it around 85 gold. That's since I'm assuming getting from 1 to 375 enchanting will cost me roughly 2000g. All that just to get this gem of an enchant, Spell Power. Yes, 2000 gold for a total of +24 spell damage.

So worth it.

And ok, fine, I'm estimating based on nothing but a wild guess! But it'll be around there, 85g and a lot of work farming other mats that I didn't buy. Coilfang is ridiculously overpriced for enchanting mats.

Now, while I generally agree with people who don't want to hear too much about WotLK, I believe we can't be caught completely unprepared. I had mining up until now, but when I saw that enchanters would be getting the ability to make epic wands with spell crit and spell power, I was bought over and dumped that mining. I need to be 375 enchanting by the time WotLK hits, or I'll never be bothered to farm the mats and level it instead of focusing on the 70-80 grind. And not only the wands, you have the ring enchants doubling in value, to a whopping +24 spell power EACH. +48 spell power free for me, that nobody but other enchanters can get. CRAAAAZY!

So currently I sit at 155 enchanting and am stocking up on mats for the push to 225, when I'll buy the mats 'till 270 and then farm up a storm in Stratholme.

And why does Wowhead not have links to those enchants yet!
