Picking Proper Professions for a World of Warcraft Shaman

By George Young


Shamans are one of the few hybrid classes in World of Warcraft. For Shamans this implies that they are able to either spec to play as casters - elemental tree, melee dpsers - enhancement tree or healers - restoration tree. Regardless of which spec you choose, one might surely state Shamans are generally tons of fun to level up and play.

Skinning + Leatherworking

Not hard to level up and really useful, might in fact be the very first choice of a Shaman. Why? Mainly because Shamans wear mail armor and with Leatherworking leveled up they could make special pieces of gear for their use regardless of their spec. If they want to ensure it is significantly more rewarding, Leatherworkers could also create mail pieces of gear for Hunters or leather pieces of gear that will go well with Rogues and Druids. An additional good thing which one gets with Skinning is a passive buff called Master of Anatomy that raises your crit rating by +80.

Mining plus Jewelcrafting

Jewelcrafting could be amongst your choices assuming that you happen to be playing an Alliance Shaman considering that the sole race that could be a Shaman are the Draenei and they by default have Jewelcrafting +10 bonus. Nevertheless Jewelcrafting is a nice profession to have and is perfect coupled with Mining. Using this profession you'll have benefits of the stone statues which are able to heal you up while in trouble while leveling, great necklaces and rings and what is actually the most significant - gemstones which you could place in the sockets of your own equipment.

Both of these professions are not merely beneficial for yourself, because it is possible to in addition create unique-equipped and soulbound gemstones, but additionally because they are really profitable. An additional fine feature of Mining is passive Toughness which increases your current stamina by 120.

Other useful professions

It's always great to have Enchanting given that every single character, regardless of which class or spec will require his/her equipment to be enchanted. In some rare situations Restoration and Elemental Shamans couple this profession together with Tailoring, since they might create good pre-raiding casting equipment with it and because they are capable to use cloth armor. Since they are casters/healers they generally are located behind and are usually not damaged, hence the mail gear armor bonus won't matter much to them. In spite of this it really is always a good idea to use the highest equipment you'll be able to and there's undoubtedly wonderful mail equipment which could be also created with Leatherworking for these specs. Herbalism and Alchemy is a pair of professions which may usually be convenient for each class, plus they're rather easy to level, plus a bonus Life Blood skill will give +240 haste for 20 seconds. Inscription in addition to Herbalism may be also nice for a Shaman considering that the Glyphs she/he could create could be quite useful and you'll find lots of distinct glyphs varying on the spec you've got and spells and totems you are using.
