i am maining prevoker this Xpac, and it is really fun IMO!
As professions i would say leatherworking if you decide to make an evoker so you can make armour for your Dh and the alt + skinning.
if you choose Priest of Wlock, i would say ench + tailoring
Evoker looks like it has to be played as healer to be viable currently (in M+), and I’ve mostly heard as DPS they’re clunky and squishy.
Priest can also switch between Healer and DPS, although they aren’t “meta” for M+ as dps, at least you have two heal specs to choose. They are also a bit more on the squishy side.
WL is pure dps, has three specs to choose (one should always be viable in raid / m+) and having a pet makes leveling / open world easy, so…
Moving on to your profession question… if you insist on making use of your gathering professions yourself, take alchemy / jewelcrafting to use the herbs / ore, but I’d heavily recommend you to just forgett about it in DF. You won’t be able to make full use of your own profession, because maxing them out has become nearly impossible in DF if you don’t have the support of a whole guild. Just farm mats yourself and have someone else craft your stuff on max rank.
I’d therefore recommend skinning and enchanting for your alt… yes, enchanting is also a profession, but you shouldn’t use it to craft your own stuff, but simply so you can make use of the “disenchant” function and collect mats you can give to a skilled enchanter to make your enchantments.
If you’re not playing Mage, Engineering is the best profession for any character. Dragonflight not withstanding. You can also support the alt with your mining on your main.
This really isn’t a caster-friendly expansion in terms of PvE or PvP, so make of that what you will.
Okay thanks everyone!
I think i’ll probably play Evoker because he’s the new cool kid in town and probably a little
bit unfair like all new classes.
As for the professions,
I think i’ll go with Skinning and Enchanting to keep it simple.
Should have probably took Enchanting on Blood elf for the racial bonus and mining/herba on Dractyr for the same reason but oh well… To late now.
