Okies, been thinking of Engineering and Blacksmithing, Seems like they`ll come in handy later on. So more like they`ll invest in my future.

 Also been thinking early on Leather since early we can only use them, and can give me help getting going early.

 Also been thinking Alchemy, because duh potions help, and the whole role play idea of a shaman makign potions.

 So, what you think compliments a shaman skills best. Or if you think it`s a wash, and do what sounds fun.

 Also, something I havn`t learned yet- Can you drop a trade later to start a new one? or once your two are set, they`re set for life?

You can drop your professions later on, but they will be back at 1 until you raise them again.

If you are going to go for Engineering then Mining actually helps out more....at least in the begining levels.  I've notice most of the begining things you can make have a lot of what you can get when you mine.  In other words, rough stone and copper bars.

Alchemy works very well with Herbalism.  Also heard that Enchanting works well with Herbalism as well. 

Blacksmithing and mining goes hand in hand same as Leatherworking and Skinning.

Haven't found much that compliments Tailoring yet, but I haven't tried that one out yet either.

As a Tauren, Herbalism is nice since you have +15 which means you can get Earthroot right away.  Alchemy is good because they're hour-long buffs, and you can make health/mana pots.

Leatherworking/Skinning is good because you can go Dragonscale at 225, which lets you craft mail.  Although the scorpid armor isn't good for Shamans, I think the dragonscale has +int and +sta on it.

Tailoring is no good for a Shaman, since we can wear leather right off the bat.

I'm a Tauren, and I'm going Herbalism/Alchemy.

Hi there.. i choosed lw and now im dragonscale lw i make dragonscale mails for my self and others... one more good thing with that is that its easy to get leather so you could make stuff and earn money...
