Best professions for arena

shade9 · February 13, 2008, 02:57 PM

I am a warlock with some high-end gear and I am looking to improve my gear/abilities in the arena. Right now I have tailoring and herbalism that do nothing for my arena stats. I was considering different professions, but not sure which to choose, and for what reason.

Could you please post the 2 recommended professions - ONLY CONSIDERING ARENAS? And also post why.

For example, I am considering:

Enchanting so I can add +12spell damage to each of my rings

and possibly

Jewelcrafting for the BOP (unique equipped) gems. But that would only give me 1 of the 18stam (only +6 from current 12 stam) and 1 of the 14 spell damage (only +5 from current 9 spell damage gems) - this only effectively gives me 6tam and 5 spell damage - not sure worth the effort.

As if it matters, I am a SL/SL lock and my 2v2 partner is a resto druid. I currently run with a battlemaster trinket and the insignia (2 min cooldown).

Thanks in advance...

SD

PS. Remember that I am NOT considering cost, time, or PvE to obtain the professions.

Enchanting, Jewelcrafting, and Engineering (Helm with limited stealth detection, Nigh-Invulnerability belt) are the only profs that give you a something for arenas, but all are pretty minor.

I don't think that there's anything, in any profession thats worth power-levelling from 0-375 in order to use in Arena - Enchanting and Jewelcrafting would be of ultimately more use imo, and thats with the benefit of being an Engineer and finding that other items are more valuable than goggles/belt.

I think that +24 damage is an edge, therefore it's still on my to-do list. I also think I can make good money in the next expansion with DEing uneeded quest rewards.

If they would ever change the BoP gems to be NOT unique (I guess they could, they are doing this with heroic gems with 2.4) it would be FAR superior.
