balance druid craftsFollow

im a balance druid and i plan to stay balance, im gonna do a lil pvp and a lil raiding, i was thinking of going LW and skining, but i all so was thinking of herb alchem. any one got any advise on what craft would be best suited

He's asking for a choice between two valid professions, Alchemy and LW. No need to be a jerk about it.

Tribal LW will get you the Windhawk set, good for healing and caster DPS. You can also use drums for various temporary buffs. Alchemy gets you a couple nice trinkets and the ability to use Mad Alchemist potions, a cheap and effective substitue for mana pots.

I think for casters, I would take Alchemy over LW. If you're chain-chugging mana pots, the extra 40% when you have an alchemist's stone equipped makes it worth the profession slot. I have also heard good things about DPS groups setting up a rotation for the haste effect from drums of battle, so YMMV.

Windhawk is awesome, though. Not only do you get sweet dps out of it, it's also a great healing set. It comes in handy if you ever plan to respec to resto or even just in those situations where you need to pop out of moonkin form to heal someone in an emergency.

In addition to that, you can just wear 4 pieces of arena gear with it, which not only allows you to have a pretty much full epic set the moment you hit 70, but also gives you the arena set bonus as well.

Then as you get Badges of Justice, you can gradually replace the PvP pieces with PvE stuff.

Any leatherworker can make/use drums
