Best Professions for Warriors in WoW Classic
The best profession for a Warrior in WoW Classic depends on the game mode you are playing.
- During leveling, Blacksmithing gives you an edge at the very beginning. This is especially true on Hardcore Solo Self-Found (SSF) since you can craft
Rough Sharpening Stone and 
Rough Weightstone with Blacksmithing. These items provide a significant impact in earlier levels. - In WoW Classic Era and WoW Classic Fresh, Warriors 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 as Warrior. - 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.
Overall, the Warrior benefits a lot from Engineering but the second profession is very flexible. While other classes have very dominant profession choices raid leads might expect from them, a Warrior can pick their second profession depending on personal preferences. If you are not deep into PvP and you aren’t speedrunning raids on the higher end, Engineering becomes optional too.
