[Professions] Good Professions for Raiding/PvPing

i would keep what you have, the engy gadgets are great in pvp and it isnt much but mining gives you a stam buff, and if you are only going to dabble in raiding there isnt any need to min/max a prof

Blacksmith + Mining is just awesome.

Crit is actually your best stat as a warriror even over str at the moment. I would reccomend going skinning/ Leatherworking. Skinnning gives you 450 crit and leatherworking gives you 320 str and basically free BIS bracer and leg enchants which are the most expensive enchants so you save a lot in the long run. Engineering can be fun, but none of the gagets are usable in arena or RBGs and the glove tinker isnt usable with on use trinkets so you cant line it up with your DPS CDs most of the time.

Thank you all for the suggestions. What would you all recommend if I wanted to min/max the professions? It may only be dabbling in the raiding side come time, but I would like to pull my weight when it comes down to it.

they all bring roughly the same bonus no matter what prof it is the utility of certain profs that make them more preferable, what Vince says is correct about the armour kits and bracer linings but the skinning at lvl 90 only gives you about .75 % crit, you could go with enchanting and get the ring bonus, would probably be better off.

it doubles the length of flasks... so my guess is elixirs will have double duration, too.

So what level is required for lvl 600 in a crafting profession these days?

reply to Goggalor
I forget what profs your other chars have, but mining is largely useless if you can get your ore other ways (and are not a tank, obviously). The skinning/lw suggestion is really great - I hadn't thought of that the other day when we talked about profs. LW is a b*%$^ to level though, imo.

You can have a total free-for-all in Panda skinning though. SO many places have mountains of dead animals due to quests/dailies. Now that there's AoE looting most people are pretty good about prepping all the animals to be skinned, too.

Also for pvp, being a warrior engineer is stupidly good for flag carrying in some bg's. In WSG you can hang glide halfway across the field, heroic leap as far as you can and charge something to pretty much be IN the tunnel in no time.

Why not just mining and skinning, get both buffs?

I have that one a toon. I use him to gather mats for my leather worker and my smith/engineer. And yes my smith and my engineer toons have mining on them as well.

Is a person a failure for doing nothing? Or is he a failure for trying, and not succeeding at what he is attempting to do? What did you fail at today?.

enchanting is easy sauce now, only need runed copper rod and open the cash register
