Probably the best enchant available to PVE casters, considering the options are armor, resistance or spell penetration.

This is also dropped by Emperor Vek'lor (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=15276) in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.

Yes, it used to be available pre-BC, with pre-BC mats, but that's been changed since not many people go to Temple of Ahn'Qiraj anymore.

In response to Euphorian -

Penetration isn't a PVP only stat. While you're casting on lv70+ mobs, pay close attention to outgoing spell damage in your combat log. MANY of your spells are partially resisted, while hit capped.

While it's probably one of the most unfavorable stats to enchant or gem, it isn't a complete waste.

boss mobs (those with a skull icon) in addition to having a high base miss chance also have between 5-8 resistance per level above yours (3) that is -UNMITIGATABLE- by any means.

this is where your seeing the partial resist, if memory serves it adds up to about 5% average mitigation.

So unless the boss is like supremus and your a fire mage/lock; penetration is very useless in pve.
(my guilds mages just use those pots that give you spell penn for a short time on him)

oh I hope this is BS. I remember seeing it listed in Atlasloot as a Cenarion Expedition rep item too.

This formula is indeed available to both Alliance and Horde, and is purchased from the quartermaster for your respective Hellfire Peninsula faction once reaching Exalted with the faction.

"Another great portion because the new enchants for the most part are a kick in the teeth for people who farmed weeks/months to get recipe's that are outdone by a few days (if that) of grinding.", you say...

Yeah and it really sucks that some of the Outlands gear is better than the pre-expansion raid instance gear too, doesn't it? What a shame, to spend months in MC/BWL/AQ40/Naxx for Tier sets that are no longer worn, just to have some level 65 or so player get a drop on his 5-man instance run that's better...

Helloooooooooo?

Hogwash. Trying playing on a realm where AQ isn't even open yet, and no one has any enchants from there. Better still, try playing on such a server and getting anyone to leave Outland long enough to go through the damned gate opening chain. Hard as this may be to believe, just because YOU have the enchants does not mean enchanters (even the top end ones) on every realm has them.

And I've yet to see a better cloak enchant for healers in the expansion than Subtlety from pre-BC...

I personally hope Blizz's dev team do put their bongs down long enough to make some of the old AQ enchants rep-purchasable (i.e. like they did with Alchemy and the Flask formulas)...if you're worried about such a thing cutting into your profits, you need to Lrn2Outland; those daily repeatable quests rake in 100+ gold without even trying.

And I for one get tired of spending a week or more in Trade channel and the Realm Forums trying to track down someone (someone...anyone) with an enchant I want. I've leveled two enchanters to 375 (one being a raider who spent months chasing Formula drops); I know it's a pricey profession and having rare enchants is a moneymaker. But players on the new realms get screwed over harder than any players on the veteran realms ever could.

Just my 2 copper.

This is the only useful enchant for casters of any sort, and yet the mats are still expensive.

It's a pretty low drop rate in AQ I don't remember it being bad preBC, my guild did the boss 8 times at 70 just to see it drop once but threat dropped several times, finally I can do it :)
