The hell was square thinking with mining/botanist.

You might find that the ability to farm Ore and Botany stuff isn't quite the same as the desire. The most lucrative mining and botany is shards. Everyone can farm them now. It just sucks hard to do it. If you are a gatherer at heart, I wouldn't worry about becoming any less useful. Most loath the thoughts of gathering, anything. They will level the class and then never use it.
