Best Professions for Hunter in WoW TBC
In The Burning Crusade, gathering professions give almost no combat bonus, so nearly every Hunter runs two crafting professions — each granting a self-only bonus of roughly equal power. The best pair depends on your spec and role. Here is the recommended pairing for each Hunter build.
Engineering goggles are a best-in-slot early head and its gadgets suit a ranged kiter; Leatherworking adds Drums and crafted mail.
Goggles and grenades give ranged burst and utility, while Leatherworking supplies Drums of Battle and agility mail.
Gadgets pair perfectly with a trap-and-control kit; Leatherworking rounds it out with Drums and crafted mail gear.
