At this point are they even really worth having I’m currently Alchemy with Herbal but I feel that another production prof would be better than herbal at this point going into the war within. Does anyone else even bother with gather profs or dual production profs.
Somebody has to do it. If everyone went dual crafting then there would be no materials on the AH to use to craft.

I’ve tons of gatherers to support my crafters. I find a dual crafter can be awkward unless you’re doing the enchanter/tailoring one which doesn’t need ‘gathered’ items per se.
If you’re not hurting for gold, it might be worth dual crafting.
Personally, while I still try to level up crafting, I haven’t actually made anything other than bags or the one time toys. The system seems geared towards folks who do the raids and dungeons regularly. I do neither (other than follower) so have pretty much found it mostly useless.

Tailor/Enchanter will always feel like the best Profession combo since you don’t need a gathering profession for either one.

It’s the end of the expansion, gathering in Dragonflight isn’t going to be great anymore.
But gathering will be good again in TWW.

I think herbalism will always be in a fairly safe place, because herbs are used to make consumables which are always in demand. Mining and skinning kinda fall off since they’re used more for gear, which isn’t really ‘consumed’ in the same way. They still get used for some consumables as well, but nowhere near as much as herbs are.

Nah, the bots have it under control.
Beginning of an xpac is when gathering makes the most and saves you the most.

Dual crafting will be much more viable in the upcoming expansion, though it will still require you to have gatherers in your warband if you aren’t prepared to pay absurd amounts of money at the AH.

I run alchemy/engineering with a gather toon of mine/herb and then supplement what I need or have excess of with auction house usually always end up in the positive for gold and have what I need to craft.

I tend to take gathering professions on all my characters…
I collect stuff as I come across it while leveling or doing WQs (I don’t actively hunt for nodes) and stash it all away in their tradeskill banks.
Whenever a new patch/raid/season hits with new content, I consolidate it all onto one character and sell boatloads of stuff for really nice money.
Rinse and repeat until the final patch cycle. I actually bought DF just from the gold I made in SL.
