New to Vanilla, seeking guidance!

[Forgnar 0]

Hello all,

 

This is my first time on a Vanilla WoW server and I'm in need of some guidance because I pretty much know nothing Vanilla related.

1. I was thinking of choosing between a Human and a Gnome (females) for my rogue, which one would you recommend?

2. For professions, again, thinking between Skinning/Leather & Herb/Alchemy, can't decide?

3. Any good build suggestions (PvE oriented)?

 

Further help, hints and tips are much appreciated. :)

if you are going to strictly pve (min/max). Human is the way to go. As far as the 2 combo professions you posted. I would go with Herb/Alchemy is the money maker, though I dont know enough about skinning/leather working to comment on it.

For main i would go herb enchanting and for alchemy make an crafter alt its better that way. Ench on main char is more usefull because you de cheap bop blues for more gold while there is 0 reason for main char to be alchemist. Usually raiding guilds have dedicated alchemists for flasks while you provide your own agil and mongoose from alt.

Enchanting recipes require rep farm (some) other are rare bop recipes so better to have it on rogue. If not convinced or have questions why ill try to answer them.

Thanks guys for the replies, I went human and still haven't decided on proffs.

 

@mytchi3 hmm, that's a weirdly interesting profession combo. :)

What if I were to go tailoring/enchanting on a rogue?

I know it would be weird since I use leather, but I'd get free bags and enchants (and can sell bags and enchants later on).

You won't reap many benefits from going Tailoring. Starting out, making bags can be helpful while leveling,but you will not see any significant cash flow from selling bags. 

If I were you I would level herbalism and skinning. Skinning is great for noobs because it is easy to level and you can vendor or sell the leather in the auction house for some consistent cash flow (which you will desperately need for buying spells and your mount). 

Once you hit 60, I would drop skinning and pick a different profession once you have a better understanding of the game and you figure out what you want to do. You may decide enchanting is good if you want to do a lot of PvE things so you can disenchant items and give yourself item stats (rather than finding others to do it), or you may end up liking PvP a lot, in which case you will want to go engineering. If you decide you want to farm materials and make gold, you can pick up mining so you have a dual gathering professions.

Tailoring is only for mooncloth and bloodvine set bonus not good for you. Herbalism and mining for gold or enchantin and herbalism. Bags are cheaper to buy than make in ah.

On your Main its a MUST for you to have Engineering as a profession.

There is no Ifs and Buts about that.

hmm, but isn't engineering a gold sinking prof?

or do I roll with a gathering prof and enchanting for early moneymaking like mytchi3 and Prancinglid suggested,

and then switch one for engineering?

[csant 3]

if you dont pick up mining with engineering it will be a gold sink. If you want to make some gold while leveling... go with one/two of the gathering professions.

I'm gonna go herb/ench for now.

Thanks everyone! :)

Dont sell herbs send them to alchemist alt. To make money as low lvl farm brianrthorn and mageroyal for swiftthistle they sell 50s ea. Or make pickpocket runs in SM if you dont have 90g by the time you are 40.

I agree but for a new person without epic mount and 0 consumables engineering for pve is just goldsink with not a huge added value. Later on if he wants to tryhard and push ranks he has to pick it up sure.

Because a Sapper in Surpr. Room hits for 15-20k ? On Chrom with Fire Vuln it hits for 3-4k, same goes for the big Drakonids with vulnerabilities.

Nefarian 20% Add-Phase, Tanks pull them together, Strat Holy Water + Sapper = Bik Deeps.

 

Not even to mention MC where you use it on Luci, Gehennas, Sulfuron and Majordomo (where it hits 5-7 Adds)

You should be herb, skinning.   You will have to grind some, might as well be beast. 

You can disenchant for shards regardless of your skill rating.  So you can drop skinning later for enchanting just for DE purposes.   Skinning will make you more.

Thanks guys for all your replies.

 

I've already decided to go Alch/Herb and gather up some funds along the way.

When I hit level cap I'm gonna make a Herb/Mine alt, drop Herb on my Rogue and get Alch/Engi.

Thank you all :)

Play human, female gnomes don't exist, just like female dwarves.
