Goin into SL what would be the ideal professions to pick up for us DKs?
no bis. all of them are useful
I have Blacksmithing and mining.
I took Engineering and Mining on my DK. Offers good utilities like the Rocket Boost belt, goblin glider, and some crowd control with the sheep grenades.
If I were to change it probably would be to Alchemy/ Herbalism. I already have a Warrior with Blacksmithing.
It’s the beginning of the expansion so armor crafting professions make big bucks right now, but it’s gonna drop quick. Been making some decent gold off of selling the blacksmithing pieces I’ve been making. Legendaries can be crafted next week so the shadowghast armor pieces are going to be hot. Plus you get to open lockboxes with BS
If you want utility, your best options are Alchemy (for the extra hour on flasks) or engineering for the various tinkers, be warned that engineering is a massive gold sink with few marketable crafts.
