Best Professions for Warrior in WoW Classic
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruWarriors gear up almost entirely from raids and dungeons, so crafting professions matter less than utility. The best pick for damage and PvP is Engineering + Mining.
Why Engineering
Engineering is the strongest combat profession in Vanilla:
- Grenades and Sapper Charge give control and burst in PvP and on pulls.
- Target dummies, rocket boots add mobility and control.
- Engineering trinkets cover niche situations.
Mining feeds Engineering with ore and bars, so the pair is self-sufficient.
Crafting alternative
