Hi all. Feel free to reply to any and all of these if you like. Just some random questions as I'm at werk bored.
Still find myself up and changing prof's multiple times before lvl 20. So I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what prof's help more for certain classes than others, or are more fun etc, your opinions would be great.
LvL 22 Hunter - ATM I'm the normal skinning/LW. Kinda boring as what I make gets outshined by what items I find from mobs/runs. I don't really want to go Eng, as my char uses bows only. Herb/Alch seems wrong for a hunter so...what do you hunters go?
LvL 20 Warrior - Started with Mining/BS, after talking with a friend that's lvl 60 and went full armorsmithing, I've changed to Herb/Alch. Supposedly really great for a Warrior, and given the economy change of weap/armor after the great gold selling trauma, think I'll stay as this.
LvL 15 Priest - GODDAM IT! STUPID CLASS I HATE YOU SOMETIMES! I refuse to go tailor/ench as it's been done to death. Started out making the old dynamite which i thought was pretty nice. Though I've NO IDEA on what Eng makes, what's more, something useful for a priest, so I'm again thinking of changing. Eng is great for hunter maybe (if you use guns, hi there 4100+ crit gnome death ray), but I've no clue for priest.
Thx for any and all advice for my mewling newblet behind.

well I started with skinning/LW and then swithched to herb/alch and I love it... im lvl 39 now and am 236herb/231alch and I can make alot of useful potions. also alot of people say there is no money to make for alch but I dissagree, just got to find what sells and what doesnt.
ive been buying the stuff in need off of AH and making fire resist potion, greater water breathing, nature resist, and occationally just throw others on there in stacks of 5 and am making 3-4 gold off of 5 of them. went from 83G to 161G in one week. Key is just find what people will buy and wont buy.
just my thoughts...wouldnt change to another profession

Let me tell you my profession-hopping story:
My hunter now 50, started of with herb/alchemy. Dropped it at lvl 25 for herb-track skill conflicts with my other tracking skills (dropped them at 230/245). Took skinning/leather primarily to make my own stuff until level 40 and get my scorpid set sewn up. at level 40 my skinning was 300, LW at 238.
Then comes in my paladin. since my hunter dropped herb/alchemy, i took those same professions, since paladins dont have much tracking skills (only got undead-tracking). So it turned out well, my herb-track was always on. But my paladin was stucked at level 28, very hard to solo, not like when I was training my hunter, paladin-training bored me to death.
So I chose to make a warrior, and since warriors dont come with uber range damage-dealers, I decided I will go engineering, so I did. And it ended pretty well, I like shrinking and blowing things up... 2nd profession? read further.
Miner story. Since my warrior got engineering, i badly need ores, stones, and minerals. So i decided once again for my hunter to drop her leatherworking 238, and get mining, and the rocks did came fast.
Warriors 2nd profession. with all the rocks I gathered with my hunter (now level 50), I took up blacksmithing (axesmith mastery), and as expected I levelled it real fast to artisan level.
Too much leather. since i still have skinning, I changed my paladin's profession to leatherworking and tailoring to sew all those GREEN stuff and sell them in AH for disenchanting. business is good so far.
To end it all up, I ended with these professions:
hunter level 50 - skinning 300 / mining 242
warrior level 45 - gnomish engineering 243 / weaponsmith 237
paladin level 28 - leatherworking 225 / tailoring 225
you could say my hunter is the father of the family, the one who brings home the ham to feed us. the paladin would be the mother, who takes the ham and makes something more greater to it and convert it to easy cash. and the warrior would be the child of the family, for his professions would need a lot of spending until he finishes school, only by then he could help bring home the ham.
For now, the gold that my paladin makes is far more greater than what i spend on my warrior, its 30:70 spending ratio, 30% of my earnings goes to my warrior's spendings, while 70% of what i earn everyday from AH goes to my savings account.
Am i happy? I am. If the gold keeps coming in, i just might drop mining (for I can afford buying all the bars that I need now) and take up Goblin engineering.
most of us players jumped from one profession to the next, until you find something you'll be happy about. just look for something you'll be happy about, thats the most important thing... BE HAPPY.

Leatherworking is a good skill for a hunter until level 40 when we are allowed to wear mail. But after making Scorpid armor there’s little left to do. At the moment the only specialty branch that makes mail is dragonscale, but none of those pieces were made with hunters in mind.
Even though you use bows, you might still enjoy engineering. If you like toys like shrink rays, utility items like the underwater breathing helmet or using explosives then you may want to look into this profession. And at the high end, there is a quest in IF where you can turn in thorium ammunition and get thorium arrows in return.
If you find you just don’t care for making things, then you can always take gathering professions only and sell everything in the auction house. This includes skinning, mining, herbalism and enchanting. So for your hunter you could take skinning and enchanting and it wouldn’t interfere with your tracking. And with enchanting you don’t have to actually enchant anything. All you have to do is disenchant any green or higher items and sell the components you get in the auction house.
