Professions

The choice of professions for a Priest in Wrath of the Lich King depends mainly on your goals: preparing consumables, crafting gear or making gold.

Professions support your character's progression, but they do not replace choices of gear, talents and play.

Tailoring and Enchanting

Tailoring crafts cloth gear, which the Priest can wear, and Enchanting lets you improve your gear.

Jewelcrafting and Mining

Jewelcrafting cuts the gems placed in gear sockets, and Mining supplies part of its materials.

The Draenei benefits from Gemcutting, which increases their Jewelcrafting skill.

Alchemy and Herbalism

Herbalism lets you gather plants, and Alchemy is used to make potions and elixirs. This pairing helps you prepare your own consumables, including mana potions.

Inscription and Herbalism

Inscription uses the plants gathered with Herbalism to make inks and items to sell to other players.

Cooking, Fishing and First Aid

Cooking and Fishing provide useful food, and First Aid lets you make bandages, without replacing the Priest's healing spells.
