"And this doesn't just increase it by some wussy 10%. This is 15%, baby."

Uh, no it's not. You get a 15 POINT bonus, not a 15 PERCENT bonus. (Same for the other racial you mentioned: points, not pecent.)

When you have one skill point in Alchemy, 15 more points would be a 1500% bonus. When you have 450 points, 15 more would be a bit more than a 3% bonus. It's only a 15% bonus when you have exactly 100 points in Alchemy; under that, it's more than 15%, and over that, it's less.

I think he means the effectiveness of what you create and not the 15% skill point bonus, much like with injectors for engineers as opposed to the Draenai JC skill bonus

@steph: Read it again. When he says 10 PERCENT, he links to the 10-POINT Enchanting bonus racial, and then refers to this 15-POINT racial as 15 PERCENT. Clearly, either he doesn't understand how it works, or it's a massive typo.

Somebody on the internet is WRONG.
