Cataclysm Gold Guide - Should I Drop Professions?

I get questions all the time regarding which professions a player should take based on class

, based on other professions they have or any other countless deviations and permutations of variables. The second most common question on this topic I get is when to drop a profession.

If you are considering droppinga profession and no other toon in your army of alts has that profession, the answer is simple: don't drop it.

A lot of peopleask meabout the validity of dropping professions, especially farming professions since they are the easiest to get back up to speed (maybe5 hours of work tops to level with 100% ground and 310% flying speed). My advice is twofold: If you have the profession on another toon, drop it and get a crafitng one. If, however,you do not have the profession on another toon then you don't drop it. You're better off leveling another character instead of spending time switching professions. More professions means more options and more options means access to diversification and more diversificaiton means a healthy 401k for your main character and his offspring.

If you are considering dropping a crafting profession it is not as simple as the gathering professions. If your profession (this includes mining btw) has a cooldown then it is worth it to keep multiple toons with the same profession on your account. The only crafting professions you should consider dropping when you have more than one toon possessing themwould be leatherworking, engineeringor enchanting since they don't have cooldowns. Obviously there are reasons to keep them if you haverare patterns likespell powerto weapon or lifelike mechanical toadon different toons.

Diversification is the greatest weapon and defense any auctioneer has at their disposal. Without it, the auctioneer is left without options when markets dive and is incapable of playing all aspects of a market (target the source of supply, other professions which interact or are affected, etc). I highly advise leveling new toons instead of dropping and restarting professions.

The main lesson from this is that you shouldn't be so hasty to drop professions and since it takes a long time to achieve max level with a profession it should not be a spur of the moment decision. Take some time, plan ahead and then drop it like it's hawt.
