Ideas for Specialist System

[Tint]

Alchemist specialist would have to have the potions last longer (like 3 seconds) or have a shorter recast timer for to be valuable.

i think it should not be a bonus that affect the end-product that much. a longer lasting potion or with shorter cooldown will affect the raiding-meta and will make the non-specialist items obsolete.

I understand your point regard the raiding-meta. I was suggesting options which in effect could (when maximized) only increase total DPS by like 0.5 - 1%. Which is generally an insignificant amount.
As for obsolete, not really, it will just mean less valuable on the MB. Normal quality food / potions / items still sell, just at a lower value than HQ. Specialist HQ would just be another tier above regular HQ.

I thought they got away from NQ, +1, +2 and +3 for a reason...
