Warrior WOW Profession
Primary

You now have your Warrior and now you need a job. I will list the primary professions combinations and how they might be good for a Warrior.

Mining and Skinning: If you do not have a main character that can supply your Warrior with lots of money or your Warrior is your main character then two gathering professions is a must. You can sell what you gather and use the money to buy weapons and armor.

I like this combination because Mining is a high profit gathering skill and since you will be killing beasts anyway you might as well skin them and make more money.

Mining and Herbalism: Another gathering combination that works well for making money.

Note: I would not go Mining and Herbalism because you can only track one of them on the mini-map at a time. I can't tell you how many times I've been going along and did not or could not see a resource spot until the yellow dot showed up on the mini-map.

Herbalism and Alchemy: Not really a money maker until you can make swiftness potions and high level stuff like flasks. They love the swiftness potions for the battlegrounds. The potions can be a great boost and you will not have to farm or buy health potions.

Mining and Blacksmithing: This is a good combination to keep you in modest weapons and armor most of the time. You can also make keys that can open locked doors and treasure chests. You also make items needed by other professions like rods for enchanters and items for Engineers.

Mining and Engineering: Engineering is a money pit but oh boy what fun toys you get to play with. You can go, at the higher levels, either Goblin or Gnomish Engineering. Goblin is more towards bombs and Gnomish is more for gadgets.

Engineering is good for PvE and great for PvP. Just remember you will need loads of cash.

Skinning and Leatherworking: This is not a good combination for a Warrior as leather armor is too weak to wear for a Warrior and it does not seem to sell very well.

Enchanting and Tailoring: A good combination. You can disenchant the items you create with tailoring to feed your Enchanting and you can enchant the items you make with Tailoring boosting their value. Also with Tailoring you can make bags.

Enchanting is only really profitable at higher levels. You will be glad that you can enchant you own stuff when you ask for a high level enchant and get a price of several hundred gold back!

Jewlcrafting and Mining: A nice way to make rings and necklaces at the lower levels, trinkets at mid levels, and a good way to make jems to put into socketed weapons and armor at the high levels. You can also make stone statues that heal you and might replace or enhance bandages.

Secondary

There are three secondary professions and I would advise everyone to take all three as you can do them all.

First Aid: With first aid you can make bandages to heal yourself and others. You can normally only do this when out of combat because if you get hit it will stop the healing. Being able to heal yourself and others will help your groups healers mana pool.

Cooking: Cooking allows you to make food that can give you a boost after eating it. The most common boost is one to Stamina and Spirit. More Stamina is just what a Warrior needs. There is also a cool one that allows you to breath fire! You will also regain health faster when eating food.

Fishing: Fishing goes hand in hand with Cooking. Some of the recipes require fish and you can also gather fish faster than other types of raw cooking food.

They have added new things to fishing after nerfing it a few months after the game went live. There are now schools of fish you can see near the shore so you can be more sure of what you are getting.

Also you can now find floating wreckage and fish up items once again such as bolts of cloth, leather, potions, weapons, armor, and more. They have toned it down from what it was like when the game first came out but it once again makes Fishing worth taking up.
