What professions should pick a mage for WOTLK?

[Xilia]

Hello

In your opinion, what professions should choose a PVE mage for WOTLK? What will bring the greatest benefits?

Herbalism/Inscription, Enchanting/Tailoring, Herbalism/Alchemy or anything else?

Thanks for your time

I'm sticking with Tailoring and Herbalism.

Isn't tailoring without enchanting a loss, since you need enchanting trade goods for several crafs in tailoring?

Cant go wrong with Tailor & Enchanting.

Not really. Imbued Netherweave Bags require 1 Greater Planar Essence I believe, but other than that, most of the high end stuff is primals, etc.

[Grenwalis]

don't forget that the imbuing of netherweave also takes 2 arcane dust. so, every piece of high end tailoring needs enchanting to back it up.

[Sandwitch]

Eh, true. My bad, haven't made much besides bags on my tailors lately, and I have an enchanter to support their addictions.

I'm lvling a priest with herbs now... as soon as patch 3.0.2 gets released I'll pick up Inscription =)

but overall Ench/Tail will still be fun to have. There's so much nice stuff going to be released

[veno]

Yeah Tailor/Ench can work well too(i'm the only raiding Mage in my guild without Enchanting) but due to the new Herbalism consumable and the fact my alt has Enchanting maxed i'm not levelling it up.

JC + tailor here.

jc --> $$$
tailor -- well, u know i wear cloth ...
although, jc is a pain to levl.

For my mage here's how I see it: Tailoring is a must since there is so much stuff you end up using, plus there's usually a little money in making some high end cloth with a cool down. Gathering professions (mining, skinning, herbalism) are all the same since there just there to make some money, I like the HoT from herbs but I worry that it won't scale well. Blacksmithing and Leather working have a little use I guess but aren't really for cloth wearers. That leaves JC, Enchanting, and Alchemy. JC at least in TBC made some money, though usually you need unusual patterns to make money, again it provides little benefit beyond that, the trinkets are OK but there are a ton of trinkets in the game. Alchemy provides one trinket, again there are a lot in the game, and without herbalism you're not exactly making much either. Finally, enchanting doesn't make much money either, the ring enchants are OK, but DE is a really nice money maker. Personally I can't decided what to pick after tailoring since they all seem mediocre at best.

The JCer only patterns for WotLK are SICK, it would be either Enchanting or JCing after Tailoring as a good supplemental Profession.

[Sycatriz]

well, if anyone has listened to the recent blizzcast regarding professions, then you'd know that they are toning tailoring down quite a bit. JC is what i've been on my mage since level 1. getting to 300 was a pain, but after that, it's just cutting gems for people which actually becomes quite profitable. if you read the inscription leveling guide on the wiki when it was up a little while back, you can see most of the mats to get to 300 (outside parchments which cost a grand total of approx. 50g to buy) are available now, and on my server at least, are very cheap. with inscribers having room for an extra glyph, i can see how that can become very useful, since inscription is the only profession which actually alters ABILITIES. so for me, i'm sticking with JC and picking up inscription.
