Greetings all! I just can't decide on what professions to choose for my new Druid. I was leaning towards Herb/Alchemy, but am having some doubts. Any thoughts?
I was having the same dilemma, so for now I've taken Herbs/Skinning, until I make my mind up. Much easier to level up your crafting than to spend ages running around newbie areas levelling up a new harvesting profession if you change your mind.
In terms of how useful LW is, here's another recent thread I'm sure you've already read (but maybe useful for anyone else finding this one at a later date):
Is LW good for Druids? One other thing. Once you hit 70 and clear out all the solo quests, you really won't have that many opportunities to skin things, except when you're grinding mats for a specific item. No XP and pitiful loot off skinnable mobs, makes it a very unprofitable way to spend your time. You can, however, whizz around on your epic mount, hoovering up herbs on your way to other places. Skinning/LW may turn out to be a bit of a dead-end once you have all your items, at least until the next expansion...
Edited a couple of times, because I'm an idiot and don't read all the way through threads that I link :p
