Super altaholic here and have a few 100's Horde side, and decided to roll a few Alliance from Level 1. Prior to WoD, I'd most always pick a production prof with a supporting gathering prof on my alts, to make it easy to level said production prof. Now, with my 100's, I dropped all of their gathering professions to pick up Inscription to pump out cards/tarots for mass gold.
That being said, is it even worth touching professions before you get your garrison? You can level them all from 1 skill in WoD. I am aware that your daily CDs produce more based on the skill level of the profession, but is that worth the hassle of spending time/gold leveling that profession before WoD? Should I just pick up Mining/Herbalism and sell everything until I hit WoD and pick up production profs? Thoughts?
