Okeys, I have searched the forums high and low for any information before I post yet another thread of stupidity... Honest!
I am a Protection Paladin who is currently main-tanking through Ulduar (not too far in, but we're getting there!) . I currently have Mining and Armorsmithing maxed out, but was wondering about ditching Mining for Jewel Crafting...
Please note, I do not care AT ALL for making money or saving money with this decision. I have alts that fund my repair bills :D . I purely want the professions that will give me the best stats possible! So the question is, is it worth me keeping Armorsmithing for the extra sockets it gives me (both filled currently with +24stam gems). And should I ditch Mining and the +50stam buff it gives for anything that Jewel Crafting can offer?
Armory Link, just in case:

Cheers in advance!

It should be mentioned that by dropping mining and taking JCing you will gain approx. ~4 stamina. I havent checked as much into the rebalancing of tradeskills coming up in 3.2 as I probably should have but I dont suspect the difference to increase.
So the question then becomes, do you feel that is enough to make the switch? Yes, it technically is an increase. No, it isnt going to make a big difference either way.

... Is that really it? By paying god knows how much gold into leveling up JCing, I'll get a gain of 4 stamina... Holy moly...
I suppose the other benefit would be that I can mix around those gems a bit more if necessary. Plus JC trinkets look kinda purdy, will have to look into that a bit more.
What's this about a "prismatic nerf" ? I didn't see anything in the 3.2 patch notes :S

Ah ha :) Thank you very much!
In which case with the buff of Toughness from mining, and the nerf of the prismatic gems, I reckon I'll be staying with BS + Mining for a while longer yet.
Offspec doesn't bother me one tiny bit, I occasionally play as Prot-PvP, but only when I'm so bored I start eating my hands...
Awesome! Cheers all!
