Jobs for the WarriorFollow

I was wondering...what are the best professions to have as a warrior? I've done the tailoring/enchanting combo for my druid but I just started a warrior and want a good combo for him...

I went Blacksmithing / Engineering with my protection warrior. I went Gnomish for all the trinkets and gadgets which were amazing at lower levels. I have found them less and less useful in the Outlands though. There are several quest reward trinkets which are just too good to not have equipped all the time.

I can't wait to make a pair of these though :D

I've had some real issues with what to take. I started out with Skinning and Leatherworks. Maxed out skinning, but never got around to train it. I've dropped leatherworks now and started working on Enchanting. Works really great at lvl 70. Easy to grind instances to get the items you need. I'm going to drop skinning as well and take another profession. Haven't decided which though

All are good, you just have to pick one.

Blacksmithing is only good if you have a higher level farming toon. Otherwise, you will be behind the curve while leveling, or spending too much money.

Herb/Alch is also good. Elixirs of Defense and Strength will keep your armor and damage above the competition. Plus, you get rage pots.

Leatherworking is good for armor kits, and eventually the twinking Clefthide Leg Armor.

Engineering has fun toys, but none of them are really necessary. The epic helmet is cool though, and the repair bot is awesome!!!!

Jewelcrafting also has some neat stuff. Finger & Neck items are not very common while leveling, so this can be a fun craft.

As you can see, all are good. Just up to you.

Pick one you will enjoy, and good luck.

I was Blacksmithing as well. Lvld it to 365 even made the epic lvl 70 chest, can't remember the name tho.

Anyway it sucks for a tank... Im JC now, can u believe that? Playing with some shiny gems is better for a hardcore tank then crafting plate items... -_-. What the hell...

JC has some very nice tank items in the end as well as epic gems like +18 stam +12 def rating etc. The most important reason for me to choose JC is because of the gold u can get with it. Go farm adamantite for an hour or so, prospect and u got yourself a nice 200g if your lucky.

Is there a list somewhere of all the profession-specific things you can do that are good for warriors? i.e. things that only a person with the profession can create for themselves? Here's what I can think of:

Jewelcrafting Gems
------------------
Falling Star = +18 Stamina
Facet of Eternity = +12 Defense Rating
Rigid Bladestone = +12 Hit Rating
Delicate Fire Ruby = +12 Agility
Stone of Blades = +12 Crit Rating
Crimson Sun = +24 Attack power


Enchanting
-----------------------
Rings - +4 to all stats


Engineering
------------------------
Tankatronic Goggles





And a nice 25g if you're not :(
