Best Race/Class/Professions Combos (Alliance)

Here’s my personal Class/Race/Profession setup that’s worked really well for me in Shadowlands. This list is only for Alliance players who want variety on their account(s) by utilizing all 12 races and classes with positive results. I’ll also divide the “gathering” professions equally and leave the “CRAFTING” professions exclusively to the classes that suit them the most (in my opinion). Don’t ask why because I’m too lazy to explain my results.

HUMAN: Warlock (All Specs)
Professions = ENCHANTING + TAILORING

DWARF: Hunter (All Specs)
Professions = ENGINEERING + Mining + Archeology

NIGHT ELF: Demon Hunter (All Specs)
Professions = Skinning + Herbalism

GNOME: Priest (Healer Specs)
Professions = Skinning + Herbalism

DRAENEI: Shaman (All Specs)
Professions = LEATHERWORKING + Skinning

WORGEN: Rogue (All Specs)
Professions = JEWELCRAFTING + Mining

PANDAREN: Monk (All Specs)
Professions = INSCRIPTION + Herbalism + COOKING + Fishing

VOID ELF: Mage (All Specs)
Professions = Skinning + Mining

LIGHTFORGED DRAENEI: Paladin (All Specs)
Professions = Mining + Herbalism

DARK IRON DWARF: Warrior (All Specs)
Professions = BLACKSMITHING + Mining

KUL TIRAN: Druid (Tank Spec)
Professions = ALCHEMY + Herbalism

MECHAGNOME: Death Knight (DPS Specs)
Professions = Mining + Skinning

Professions Subtotal:
Mining x 6 (Blacksmithing + Engineering + Jewelcrafting)
Skinning x 5 (Leatherworking)
Herbalism x 5 (Alchemy + Inscription)
(Herbalism can also sometimes benefit Cooking)

What are the criteria for “best”?
What constitutes a “positive result”?

Okay, I might’ve exaggerated when I say “best”. It’s just my personal opinion, not an objective fact.
This is how I put to use all 12 races and all 12 classes without leaving any of them out, so I can experience them all.
The positive result is that I enjoy playing the experience of these builds.
