This gets rid of my biggest crafting pet peeve ever. Before TBC my main was a warlock and I quit playing her because she felt and still feels completely gimped without Frozen Shadowweave. I am very happy if they change the high end sets. This will make the crafters happy (something to sell) and will make casters who have chosen to be alchemists, scribes or jewelcrafters also happy, if you ask me.

I'd heard about adding the meta socket but I haven't been able to find any confirmation. 2) Epic armor - Blizz clearly heard the plaintive cries of platewearers looking enviously at the tailors and LWs out there ;) There are epic boots/helms in three flavours - Brilliant Titansteel (crit, spellpower, mp5 - for healadins), Spiked Titansteel (hit, crit, str, agi - for dps) and Tempered Titansteel (def, str, stam - for tanks) That said, the epic armor is BoE and has no set bonuses - but then, that's true of the other professions as well. <abbr><em>Siha´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BananaShoulders/~3/402867310/" rel="nofollow">That was AWESOME.</a></abbr></em> Blacksmiths are getting a few nice advantages in WotLK – enough that I was actually thinking about levelling that instead of Alchemy.

That would be a nice bump in stats. I'm starting to see improvements to engineering in recent beta notes, but its not there yet. Some of the flavor items are appearing, but many great ideas got stolen and turned into loot cards for the card game. Adding Effects to Belts (and some other, normally enchantable gear) has now been added, but only in the capacity that you save a bag slot by having a spyglass built into it (and one other minor thing I forget). Actual, character improving Belt enchants (like an extra trinket slot?) would make me very happy. <abbr><em>Yakra´s last blog post..<a href="http://mirrorshield.blogspot.com/2008/09/recruitment-now-and-in-wrath.html" rel="nofollow">Recruitment, Now and In Wrath</a></abbr></em> I’ve heard that BS are going to be able to (at the least) add a meta-gem socket to (I think) their chest.
