Paladins are a versatile class that can tank, DPS, or heal based on the spec you choose, making them a killer choice for nearly any group in WoW: Forever. But when you’re not bashing baddies with a weapon, you’ll want to spend some time keeping up your professions. Below, we’ll discuss the best professions you’ll want to consider for your Paladin in WoW: Forever.
Best PVE professions for Paladin
There are two great combinations for Paladin, and you can’t really go wrong with either of them. Just decide what works for your playstyle.
Mining + Blacksmithing
Mining and Blacksmithing are the most useful combination for the average Paladin, offering killer leveling gear alongside the ability to craft BiS (Best-in-Slot) items for raiding during the endgame grind. Simply collect ore from nodes across the world, smelt it into bars, and craft away. It’s an expensive profession, but it’s well worth the investment. Of course, it helps that Blacksmithing provides a campfire buff that increases your Strength for an hour.
Mining + Engineering
Mining and Engineering are another excellent duo that will be extra beneficial to Protection Paladins in particular. This combo can fill in a gap in the Protection Paladin’s arsenal by providing ranged pull options via bombs, as well as serve up additional ways to control fights. Bombs also build threat very quickly, making them excellent for keeping foes on you when you’re just starting an encounter. And if you’re going to PVP as well, you can kill two birds with one stone. Let’s talk about that below.
Best PVP professions for Paladin
There’s really only one top-tier choice for Paladin professions in PVP, and it’s the same one that tends to be the best option for essentially every class.
Mining + Engineering
Mining and Engineering is simply too powerful to skip if you’re taking PVP seriously in any capacity — and that goes double for Paladins, who otherwise suffer from a lack of mobility and control. Using bombs or nets to lock down your opposition, or making use of things like rocket boots and teleporters to get around super quickly, can completely alter your effectiveness in a PVP showdown. It’s really hard to argue against this all-time combo.
