WoW Character Class and Profession

Your WoW Character Class and Profession can get a little overwhelming.  The classes available are Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior. We will also be going over the three different types of profession levels and their respective professions.

The three profession levels are Primary, Gathering and Secondary.  Under the Primary Profession category there are Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Disenchanting, Engineering, Inscription, Jewel Crafting, Leatherworking and Tailoring.  The Gathering Professions consist of Herbalism, Mining and Skinning.  Finally, the Secondary Professions are Fishing, Cooking, Lock Picking and First Aid.

When choosing your character’s profession there are certain key points you will want to first have clarified.  For example, do you prefer going on solo quests to being a part of a group?  If you are a person who prefers to do things by yourself, quests included, you should probably become a Shaman, Rogue or Paladin.  Although these classes are better equipped for handling solo quests than other classes are, you will still need to team up with others every once in a while to complete certain quests, namely the more “elite” quests that require multiple players to finish.

Another question you should ask yourself is whether or not you want to be able to roam around while still making a profit in your chosen profession.  Certain professions require you to stay in one area for a majority of the time in order to become successful at it.  One profession that requires you to be centrally located is Jewel Crafting, because the Jewel Crafter constantly needs to cut gems, trade within the cities and monitor the Auction House for prices.  In other words, you have to treat your World of Warcraft Jewel Crafting profession like your own virtual business in order to be successful.  Farming is another profession that requires you to stay in a certain area for a long period of time. Make sure you have enough food and water to keep your character going.  Stay focused when farming to ensure you get your crops once they have dropped.  The longer your stay focused, the more profit you will end up making.  If staying centralized is not something you desire, try a profession such as Enchanting or Alchemy that will allow you to roam more freely.

When researching classes, remember that there are three unique talent trees.  Talent trees have different levels of learning, some requiring prerequisites.  What the three trees consist of depends on which class you choose.  As characters develop, they are able to hone their skills by assigning class talent points in any of their class’ trees.  Collecting class sets is a way players can improve a character when they have reached their level cap.  More raid sets have special armor items already designed specifically for a certain class.  Faction reward sets also include neck pieces and trinkets.  Remember it does not matter which class you chose so long as you are willing to stand behind it and not give up.  If your class becomes less powerful always remember that power distributions are constantly changing.

Researching something is the best way to figure it out.  Try researching the various classes and professions online at WoW.com, World of Warcraft’s main website.
