WoW Classic – Best Professions for Rogues

by Falagar / Articles, World of Warcraft Classic Guides / 29 Jan 2019

Rogues have a lot of choices for which Professions they’d like to focus on in Classic WoW, and can lean heavily on what you’re looking to get out of Professions.

For those looking to make money, Skinning plus Herbalism or Mining is an easy way to maximize profits – since you’ll be killing at close range, skinning will come naturally. Rogues also have the ability to stealth past hostile areas to reach rare plants or mining nodes that would take other classes longer to reach – and Vanish can also help you mine these nodes and be on your way without being involved in a lengthy fight.

As for Professions that craft items, Engineering is largely considered a must-have for Rogues looking to maximize their offense both in PvP or PvE. In particular, crafting Dynamite can help increase your damage output even more, and Iron Grenades can stun targets like pesky ranged Classes in PvP, making up for a Rogues weakness to being kited.

Each of the Engineering paths has its own perks – Gnomish Engineering includes the Gnomish Battle Chicken that can help out in combat as a pet that also has the chance to increase your melee attack speed. On the other hand, Goblin Engineering can net you the Goblin Rocket Helm, which is crucial for closing the distance on enemies in PvP trying to kite you around.

Leatherworking can also be considered if you either plan to boost your income from Skinning by crafting items to sell, or if you really want to get into crafting your own armor – just note that for Rogues, their weapons and base damage output will matter much more than the stats on their armor, but you should choose what most interests you!
