455 isn't quite as bad since you can equip those skinning dagger to give you +20 skills.

It now requires 470 skill to dismantle Flame Leviathan after a recent patch. Talk about nerfing.

I'm amazed at the rest of you. No, skinning hasn't been nerfed at all, and for those with a little foresight the new skinning thresholds shouldn't present a problem. With minimal preparation, I have raised my skinning skill to 475 (this post is pre-cataclysm release). Just last week I ran TOC 25, and when Ice Howl was killed, all the skinners in the party rolled for the skin. The only problem (for them) was that the minimum skill to skin Ice Howl had already been raised to 470 and none of them had it! Although I hadn't won the roll, once they abandoned the corpse I walked over and helped myself to a free Arctic fur. Skinning has not been nerfed at all.


P.S. I know of at least two ways for most pre-cataclysm skinners to raise their skinning skill to 470, and no cheats or exploits are involved.

Sorry, we "Blizzard fanbois" are too busy enjoying the new quests, zones, and other fun stuff Blizzard just released (Plants vs Zombies mini game anyone?) to really care all that much about not being able to skin heroic bosses for a week. I know how utterly game breaking and totally unacceptable it is for you Blizzard haters, but don't get too upset. It won't be a problem for long.

You may now carry on with your regularly scheduled whining and crying about the silliest shit.



I KNEW you could be easily summoned!


Thank you for your obedience and please come again.

The thing that really annoys me is that herbalists and miners get some good xp for plying their trade skills but my new skinner gets nothing!

I want my money back... well maybe not that bad, but it is irritating.

Oh crud! I got caught whining again! Quick, divert attention away from my whining by pitifully taking a jab at the person who called me out on it!



It's ok Spooky, I understand. Must be tough to have your double standards and whining pointed out so painfully. Carry on.

I would of thought that someone that goes by the name of SpookySheep would be glad that skinning got nerfed (yuk yuk yuk)


Seriously though, while there are some halfbaked things out there like the situation with the inks, skinning issues are EASILY overcome.

I don't generally call myself a fanboi of blizzard, far from it. I've been banned from the Blizzard forums enough times to not even bother posting there anymore.



Yep you have to be careful there; they are really adverse to criticism toward the company or employees like calling GC out for example and can be outright vindictive about it.. Rumor has it that they can flag individual accounts for punishment,like make it so the odds of you winning a roll or getting drops beyond white trash drops etc... go in the toilet. It has even been suggested that if you make them mad enough your account will get mysteriously stolen and for some reason won't be able to restore all your stuff.
