Herb/Alchemy or BS/Mining?Follow

Hello, I have aspirations of making a PvP Tauren Warrior.

My question is: Which pair would benefit this character most?

For PvP, you won't find much to make BoP in BS. Mining will always make money. Herb will make some money and you use Pots in BG and PvP. With the added racial Taurens get, herb/alch would work fine

i'm assuming you meant BoE. no, i guess not. but, do you know what this is? this is the best reason to pick up blacksmithing for PvP; a 4 second stun proc in addition to the talented stun proc is golden, right up there or better than the 2h sword talented extra attack proc.

not if you're looking to win in arena. in BG's you can pretty much swing a stick around and still get some honor if everyone else does the work for you, but winning in arena takes more than damage output. high resilience means fewer crits for you and less overall damage output... teamwork and locking out the other team's dps/cc/healer(s) are much, much more important than zomghugedps. the stun proc from the weapon and your talents gives you that, plus pummel, intercept stun, disarm, possibly concussion blow, and also your war stomp as a tauren. minus disarm, that gives you a possible 4(pummel)+4(stormherald stun proc)+3(intercept stun)+3(talented 2h mace stun)+5(concussion blow)+2(war stomp) = 21 seconds of locking someone out of dpsing or healing. that is a long time to not receive or heal damage.

I think you got it mixed up. BS without mining is very costly. Mining will make you money with or without BS. I would keep one gathering skill at all times. Mining and skinning works also, as you skin all the beasts and mine all the nodes wiuth only one icon on the mini-map
