Thread: Tanking "professions"

Q u o t e: so enchanting = 60 stam bs = 60 stam which you already get from mining Thank you, i'll hang on to mine, since i don't see myself doing anything other than tanking.

The main reason to drop Mining is to benefit an offspec. Besides, nothing tells us they may not change everything regarding that next expansion. for example, I was a leatherworker / skinner on a rogue.

For simplicity, assume JC is the best for tanking, DPS and healing (which it is). The second primary profession depends on what you want. If you occasionally DPS, want to PvP, or need avoidance gear, you'll want to get BS instead of mining. If you only tank, will never stop tanking, and see no reason to ever do anything else, you'll be fine holding on to mining. Also, only a true min/maxer will care about it to begin with. You...
