Crafts explosives, gadgets and goggles, and is still the most popular endgame pick for PvP and raiding.

Tailoring makes your cloth gear and its Faction Banner adds Spirit. Enchanting turns spare drops into materials. Shadow Priests who focus on PvP can pick Engineering for its gadgets.
Mining and Engineering
Best endgame pair
Engineering uses a lot of ore and Mining supplies all of it. You also get Mining's 5% health bonus. Bombs and gadgets are some of the strongest tools in PvP.
Mining and Blacksmithing
Best for plate wearers while leveling
You mine your own metal, craft your own weapons and armor, and get Repair All plus a Strength camp buff. The extra 5% health makes it a strong tank combination too.
Best for raiders and healers
Herbalism supplies every herb Alchemy needs. Your own elixirs and flasks last twice as long and work 25% better, and Herbalism adds magic resistance on top.
Best for leather and mail wearers
Every beast you kill becomes material. Skinning adds damage against beasts and dragonkin, and the Camp Tent gives rested XP, so the pair is strong while leveling.
See every profession, camp buff and pair on the professions guide.
For leveling: Tailoring and Enchanting. At endgame: Tailoring and Engineering. Tailoring makes your cloth gear and its Faction Banner adds Spirit. Enchanting turns spare drops into materials. Shadow Priests who focus on PvP can pick Engineering for its gadgets.
Yes, but if you drop a primary profession and learn another, the new one starts from skill 1. Plan your endgame pair early to avoid leveling a profession twice.
