Best Professions for Priests in WoW Classic
Finding the best profession for your Priest in WoW Classic will depend on your game style.
- If you want to start with your best-in-slot gear before raiding, you need Tailoring. Tailoring allows you to craft
Truefaith Vestments. Truefaith Vestments can not be traded, so you have to craft it for yourself. You can drop Tailoring after you’ve crafted the item since Tailoring is not required to equip Truefaith Vestments. - Engineering grants access to the most advantages in PvE and PvP. If you are into PvP or speedrunning raids, Engineering is highly recommended.
- 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 and potions to increase your defensive and offensive stats. - For the popular Whip Lasher farm in Dire Maul you want Herbalism as your profession to maximize the gold per hour.
Overall your professions will highly depend on the content you are planning to do the most as a Priest. Learn more about all professions, find gold-making tips, and a leveling guide for each profession in our WoW Classic Profession Guide.
