A Warlock with Eng/Mining.

Totally loopy. But think; bombs, googles, decoys & googles!

Mad, yes! Brilliant, possibly!

Comments please on this hopefully novel spin on "What professions should my Warlock get?" thread.

I cant drop tailoring because I like my FSW.
I cant drop alchemy because I make safe and steady income with it.

Otherwise I considered engineering if nothing else for that head piece. Mining/skinning/herbalism seems to be obsolete at this point, it was nice through leveling though.

I would tend to agree, Engineering could be great, but not good for money, maybe a few good PvP tricks, but Mining? While levelling, selling ores for profit, great, after your in the outlands though, I would drop mining for Tailoring. The FSW set is great, and you have to be a Tailor to even wear it, not just make it. You can buy the ores you need, as you make loads of gold in Outlands.

Thanks guys.

Its just as I'm new to 'locks I think they're pretty similar to Hunters in many respects. Hunters and Eng is a great combination and I can't see why it won't work for a 'lock.

Bombs will be great when I'm OOM, decoys will be great when my Voidwalker kicks the bucket after aggroing a dozen mobs, jet boots for escaping and goggles just because....

Hopefully I'll get a cheap mount and re-consider my options if I ever get to the Outlands.

If you are OOM you are out of life too. As long as you have some hp you can lifetap your mana back.
If your VW is about to "kick the bucket" then its time to HoT, sac him and run for your life.

If you played hunter then you might have better knowledge how to control your pet, but you still dont know how to play warlock - they are much more different than it may seem to you now.

My personal advice about tradeskilling would be - take 2 gathering professions that are the best money makers on your server until you get to 70.
Then, with much better knowledge about your class and your personal preferances about what you need powerlevel whatever profession may suit you the best. You should have enough money and/or farming ability to do it then.

I agree 100%, just made my 3rd dude and he just dinged level 30 the other night. With Skinning and Mining I currently have 87G. That is simply normal questing and not going out of my way for anything. If I see a mine, I go get it. If I kill something that can be skinned I skin it. With zero farming and zero playing the AH those 2 profs have worked great. Heck I even gave away a 10G recipe for swiftness potion to a friend that dropped for me so it could have been even more.
