  2. Alternative: Alchemy + Herbalism

Tailoring + Enchanting

  • Tailoring sews strong healing/Shadow cloth pieces and bags; rare recipes give real pre-raid stats.
  • Enchanting enchants your own gear and disenchants unwanted greens/blues into dust and essences — steady gold.

Alternative: Alchemy + Herbalism

Healers drink a lot, so Alchemy + Herbalism pays for its own mana potions and flasks.
