Professions

Choosing professions for a Shaman in WoW Forever mainly depends on your goals: crafting equipment, preparing consumables or earning gold.

All three specializations, Elemental Combat, Enhancement and Restoration, can benefit from these activities. No profession is essential to play a Shaman.

Weapon imbues

In WoW Forever, the Shaman's weapon imbues last 60 minutes and now stack with temporary enchantments.

Alchemy and Herbalism

Alchemy lets you prepare potions and other consumables, including mana potions.

Herbalism makes it easier to gather the plants needed for these preparations. The Tauren can gather herbs with Cultivation, without the profession.

This pairing suits players who want to produce their own consumables rather than buy them.

Blacksmithing and Mining

Blacksmithing lets you craft weapons and armor pieces, depending on the available recipes.

Mining provides the materials needed for Blacksmithing.

This pairing suits players who want to craft their own equipment.

Gathering professions

Combining two gathering professions, such as Herbalism and Mining, lets you collect resources while your character progresses.

These materials can be kept for later use or sold to earn gold.

Which profession should you choose for each specialization?

Elemental Combat

Elemental Combat depends on mana for its spells. Alchemy is therefore particularly useful for preparing mana potions.

Enhancement

Enhancement fights with its weapons. Blacksmithing and Mining let you craft weapons and armor pieces.

Restoration

Restoration heals the group and uses a lot of mana. Alchemy and Herbalism are a natural choice.

Which profession should you choose?

For the Shaman, there is no mandatory combination of professions.

Alchemy and Herbalism make it easier to prepare consumables. Blacksmithing and Mining suit players who want to craft their equipment. Finally, two gathering professions can be a simple way to earn gold.
