Best Professions for Hunters in WoW Classic
The best profession for a Hunter in WoW Classic depends on the game mode you are playing.
- In WoW Classic Hardcore, Engineering and Alchemy are the best professions. Both professions allow you to escape from difficult situations and possibly avoid death. With Engineering, you can use grenades for stuns and gadgets like
Target Dummy. With Alchemy, you have access to utility potions (like 
Swiftness Potion and 
Invisibility Potion) and potions to increase your defensive and offensive stats. - In WoW Classic Era and WoW Classic Fresh, Hunters benefit the most from Engineering. In PvE grenades and explosives like
Goblin Sapper Charge are very strong. In PvP grenades, explosives, and gadgets, are a vital part for a Hunter. - One of the most popular farms for Hunters is the tribute run in Dire Maul. Enchanting can increase your income significantly, because you can disenchant the drops instead of selling them to the vendor. You need to check the prices on the auction house though. In the beginning of a realm selling the blue items to a vendor might yield more gold. To open the doors in this farm you need Engineering, too.
Overall, the Hunters benefits a lot from Engineering but the second profession depends on your plans in the game. If you are not deep into PvP, you aren’t speedrunning raids on the higher end, and you aren’t running tribute runs, Engineering becomes optional too. Learn more about all professions, find gold-making tips, and a leveling guide for each profession in our WoW Classic Profession Guide.
