Best Trade Skill for Warlock??Follow

I'm sure this has probably been discussed elsewhere but my forum search appears to have issues.

So I just started a new Hordey 'lock and as I'm sure you gathered from the title I'm wondering what trade skill path to pursue. Any advice would be greatly appreiciated, Thanks.

My warlock does alchemy (mainly because my group of friends didn't have an alchemist in it...)

I have to say that I love it and use the healing potions with the occasional stat buff potion. I'm going to have to go herb farming soon though as my bank is filling up with herbs that are 1/2 of recipes that I don't have the other component for :-)

If you just want money though, go two gathering. My little mage alt has skinning and herbalism. That character has almost a gold already from selling stuff in AH (and maybe 2 gold if my auctions sold yesterday....i didn't check yet). My normal hunting has paid for the mage's spells. The gathering stuff is paying for my horse eventually ....in 30 levels :-)

wow thanks for the advice, both enchanting and alchemy, sound interesting. guess I'll flip a coin, or perhaps both, and I'll buy my reagents.

Thanks again

I took skinning and tailoring. For many tailored items, you need leather as well. Also, I can sell the leather for money. With the tailoring, I get to wear the items only available to tailors and it helps to make bags for those darn shards that won't stack! Enchanting is another common combo with tailoring, but I found it is easier to just setup an alt with that skill ... of course, I also setup an alt with leatherworking to use all the leather my warlock gets from skinning ... but that kind of goes beyond your initial question.
