Tailoring is good for healing Druids as well.. especially when you include the fact healers getting hit equals dead healer anyway.

[@Sweetguy1821]

Here i am watching tutorials for an expansion that came out almost 15 years ago lol. Its deffinaltly fascinating to see how much the game has changed and how much more usefull professions are then retail.

[@fizin1]

Fun idea for a video that I haven’t seen yet is a reputation/profession/spec guide. I’ve done a lot of research trying to figure out which profs should focus on which reps and try and line that up with the best reps for my class/role. For example I lvl enchanting on my healer. I want to focus on the healing ring enchant and the +healing enchants. But which reps are going to be top priority?

[@Toyhouze]

Pure gold man. Thanks for the idea I'll look into it.

[@jam7661]

can you do a more in depth engineering guide? talking about all the new items and their uses

[@itsVilu]

Armor specialization bonus wasn't added until 4.0.1, so for some classes (hybrids mostly) best in slot gear doesn't always include their own armor type. For example Tribal leatherworking and tailoring are both good options for a resto shaman to get that +healing gear. Tailoring one offers a bit more +healing, but lacks stamina. ;)

[@zachhawkins5005]

Being a mining/JCing Rogue is gonna be fun. That's what i did back then, nostalgia ftw

[@sycoduck3318]

So is the meta to level jewelcrafting, and make the bop items you need then level enchanting and enchant with bop enchants then level whatever is relevant to what you're trying to do long term?

[@magik1204]

[@Toyhouze]

Thank you!!

[@Ddpunkt]

great guide, excited to check out your content!

[@Toyhouze]

Hey thanks Vandeanson! Welcome aboard!

[@privatprivat7279]

19:48 isnt a druid flying transform the best for farming? he doesnt need to dismount while picking????

[@Toyhouze]

yes this is true, you don't dismount to gather herbs. it did not start that way, but was patched to be that way so fingers crossed that's how it is in classic tbc

[@GideonAI]

At 1:01 you said "there's no more Songflower buffs", but the old comments from around patch 2.3-2.4 indicate that as long as a character lower than level 63 first activates a Songflower, then a level 70 character can come along and obtain the Songflower Serenade buff. Might not actually work in TBC Classic but thought it was worth a mention.

[@johnnyborbon5085]

Would be cool to see what is the best pair or pairs of profs for each class

[@lurgy5177]

Thank you for this! Such an awesome video

[@Toyhouze]

Thanks!

[@MrCliverandy]

You forgot about various bags from tailoring, various buff from picking herb and the engineer fume gathering (forgot the name). I don't remember whether mining elementals is tbc or wotlk, too..

[@vvvortic]

man i remember when BC was a thing seeing all pvp warriors with the mace spec and stormherald and i thought that was the coolest thing ever

[@Toyhouze]

haha yeah that was a sight to behold

[@Aurleis]

You've got some very nice videos. My only "complaint" is that you should have 10 times (at least) the number of subscribers :)

[@Lifepathss]

What if i picked jewercrafting and alchemy. Can i practice the both professions?

[@fdgdfgfdgfd3644]

Can you wear the boar figurine and the panther figurine at the same time?

[@Jaymzmiller]

How are high level recipes handled in TBC? The most annoying part of professions for me in Classic is that you can get to max level in a profession but you then you need to farm bosses or mobs for ages just to get your recipe before you can make your item(s). Is this the same in TBC or are more high-end recipes also available directly from trainers?

[@swiftjuice168]

Wouldn't be 'high-end' if you could just learn them from trainers.

[@crimmaneuihh]

Super useful guide, well done. I never like and subscribe to stuff since I find it cringey that EVERY youtube video includes it at the end. "like and smash that sub button huehue" but this time I actually did both :)

Hey everyone! I need your advice, which option would be better? I got a rogue with Mining and Herbalism, got a lock with Herb and Alch. Rogue is my main and mostly i farm stuff and send it to the lock for crafting. In BC i'm thinking to get JW. Would it make more sense to unlearn Herbs on the rogue or on the lock? Are there many good gem recipies from reputation? Thanks in advance!

@R ch I hope it is nerfed. Your right it isn't fun playing that way, but lots of people will do it anyway to get progress faster and feel they are being value added to the groups.

[@Lorenna1234]

Dont forget shamans exist. No LW needed then.

[@EredarLordJaraxxus]

I'd disagree with 19:48 ! Druids with their instant cast flight form makes herbalism very easy ;)

[@Toyhouze]

You are correct! I missed that. Tauren druids especially with the herbalism racial.

[@djdeej8265]

thanks for the video mate great work!

[@Toyhouze]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@StretfordEndGaz]

I think one thing you missed from engineering , it should be close to required for hunters IMO due to the guns and highest ammo (but thats my opinion). but for me one of the biggest things to craft is the 'cloud gathering' helm, (you put it on your slide, but didnt say how important this is) this is something that makes a killing especially when the wind clouds get released, but even without them you can make 50-100g just running around gathering them an hour.

[@__-fi6xg]

Shattrat portal decive: turns you occasionaly into a Tauren wich was so fun as rogue in pvp. Effects were visible after death.

[@wizardworkscyclery]

im a feral druid and went tribal LW. from your video it seems like id be better off with elemental for bc. will i be able to choose a new spec in bc or am i gonna have to drop LWing and relevel it?

[@chrisbreen6484]

What professions do you guys recommend for Prot Paladin? I intend to play PvE only.

[@Toyhouze]

I like engineering for the high stamina trinkets, BiS plate goggles, and generally fun aspect. Other than that one, I think LW for drums, JC for gems, or Enchanting for ring enchants are all my picks.

[@sirmicro]

Good informative video

[@DAZMHBK]

Could anyone clarify if Mining, Herbalism and Skinning give any stat bonuses or was that WotLK? Thought mining gave stam, skinning gave crit and herb a heal?

[@MrOrmanley]

A little story about my tbc experience as an enh shaman; Tbc is very enh weapon unfriendly. I struggled especially on offhand weapons. Why? 1) There are no enh weapons among rep rewards, we are the only spec excluded 2) Blacksmithing weapons were BoP and restricted to specialisations, and afair, also mh only or unique 3) Karazhan enh weapons consist of a fist (mh only), and axe (mh only) and a mace (unique afaik), meaning you NEED the mace for offhand (never dropped for me) 4) SSC and the eye offer 3 weapons, all dropping from the same boss (Alar). They include a fist weapon set (mh limited to mh (duh), oh being fast. as well as an axe (never dropped for me) 5) BT/MH offered an axe (unique), a fist weapon set (again fast oh) and a mace (never dropped for me) 6) SWP patch lifted a lot of these restrictions, but that was at the end of tbc IF blizz decides to implement the swp patch upon release, BS is awesome as enh as you will be able to get a super good weapon for each hand, so long as you grind the mats. If not, be prepared to get your arena game up if the loot gods aren't favourable, because their weapons are all that's left

[@Toyhouze]

thank you for the insight, definitely didn't realize how hard it was

[@MrCliverandy]

You can use dagger as offhand weapon. Faster attack speed also works with flame tounge.

[@MrOrmanley]

@@MrCliverandy tbc = wf/wf. fast oh is suboptimal

[@MrCliverandy]

@@MrOrmanley . Yes it's sub optimal. But you do get extra spell power and can use add lava lash into the rotation. Or simply do Blacksmithing - Axe or Mace. I prefer the axe for orc.

[@MrOrmanley]

@@MrCliverandy Lava Lash is wotlk though...and caster weapons tend to be mh only. the epic ones anyway

[@TheZdowd]

Should enh shamans really go blacksmithing? I know there are two maces you can make, but not sure if its totally worth going BS just for those two maces.

[@Toyhouze]

Yeah I'm on the fence about it. It really is just for those two maces, but they are quite good. A lot of people say it's a must for enhance shaman.

[@TheZdowd]

@@Toyhouze damn I feel like it's gonna be expensive

[@dotshirogi]

For Herbalism, you forgot to mention Tauren get a racial that increases their herbalism skill by 15. Or is this changed in TBC?

[@Toyhouze]

You're right: cultivation. It's still in TBC

In such a bind already, commited so much to engineering already and now having to drop mining for LW or jewelcrafting and let an alt mine for me etc. Dunno what to do lol

[@incognito666z]

i´m thinking on running herb+mining on my gold alt. You think that would be better than herb+alchemy since i dont want to farm all the reps to get every recipe?

[@Toyhouze]

I don't like herb mining cuz it's a pain to switch herb vs mining tracking. But if you want double gathering you could throw skinning in to replace one.

[@incognito666z]

@@Toyhouze how i used to do it was just binding both herb and moning to 2 buttons on my mouse and just swap every time i am over a nod of the thing i have with gathermate addon.

[@ScottysCollections]

When does inscription come out?

[@Toyhouze]

WotLK

[@kreto007lol]

Nice video! I do disagree on two points though: primalstrike set from LW is also very good for hunters, maybe even better than the netherstrike set. And the second point, which is probably the most important: LW is recommended for every class for pve try-harding, as drums are simply overpowered.

[@Toyhouze]

Good points! Definitely should have included that, thanks for mentioning it!

lvl 55

[@Shev4thewin]

Swords are not the greatest choice for shamans in BC :P Also i think that the only good specialization for rogues is hammersmithing, due too weapons speed, swords with 1,6 aren't viable for mh/oh with this class. One last thing - i saw many hunters with bloodmoons/2x 1h bs axes, so it's even more than rogues can benefit :) I like ur video, but 4/5 stars for the bs part ;)

[@Toyhouze]

[@OliverSnith]

​@@Toyhouze Afraid it wasn't the only one. To add to, and to summarize the comments; Shamans can't use swords, BoP benefits from professions existed in Classic, flasks persist through death, Shamans can wear leather, Mooncloth Tailoring is also very highly recommended for most healers, with the expection sometimes being Paladins for their BoP gear leading up to tier 5, Teldrassil has a higher density of herbs as well as Tauren's Herbalism racial. I'd also be curious to see the source of your fishing chart, as it does not feel accurate in my own personal opinion.

[@mrillis9259]

Engineering, goggles. Alchemy, trinket Blacksmithing, weapons Then leatherwork for drums Finish off with JC or enchanting Should cost a fair amount to have all on one character

I was thinking exactly the same. Have you decided yet?

[@dayrenist]

You NEED dragon fist as enh shaman

[@jetrpg22]

Doesn't have all healers (maybe a bit less pala) Listed as tailoring being BIS - Whitemend competes or beats with t6 gear and primal mooncloth beats most all t5 gear. And its not close. While expensive its like 70-100+ more scaled healing than t5 gear Enchanting is 40. It worth two professions itself until t6 where its still competitive. Issue is in sunwell it loses its usefulness, but thats pretty much all of BC. You can get 2-5 pieces of gear pre raid or at least pre t5 that last the xpack until the last raid. Thats nuts. Their usefulness is class dependent. Resto druids set bonuses: t4 bonuses are good, but the stat difference aren't close (there is the problem basically the stats from mooncloth and or whitemend are so much stronger t4 can never compete.) t5's 2p is useful in some situational and the 4p is useless. And again the t6 only the 2p is good. Priest t4 2p is really nice for some fights (almost forever); t5 is pointless (its just blah); t6 is okay. Shaman's t4 not worth; t5 not worth; t6 poggers (also part of why shamans end up prob best raid healer and all around just really good by the end of sunwell). Paladin's t4 is trash (I know some nice meters); t5 4p is pretty good tbh and as mooncloth and whitemend gear lacks crit and you really want crit i could see just skipping tailoring or greatly devaluing it; t6 is nice. Whitemend particularly while being very $$$ is way way op.
