PvE Beast Mastery Hunter Best Professions – WoW Classic

Nevermore • Updated June 7, 2025

Beast Mastery Hunters can use professions to enhance their overall performance and gain an edge in PvE, whether through special consumables or gold generation. We’ll showcase the best professions that they can use, alongside any other useful ones, and even the sub-par professions that players should avoid.

Best Professions

Engineering is seen as one of the best professions in WoW Classic for Beast Mastery Hunters! It allows players to create a variety of bombs and ammo, including some special gadgets and gear pieces that can enhance PvE performance. Players can get their hands on Goblin Sapper Charge, Dark Iron Bomb, Thorium Grenade, and Thorium Shells, among many other goodies. The main issue of Engineering is that the profession is extremely expensive to upkeep, requiring a large amount of materials that can drain your gold instantly if not paired with Mining or another very good gold-generation profession.
Mining is a great profession if you choose to pair it with Engineering, not only for the leveling process but for the creation of any bomb or grenade consumable after reaching 300. Without Mining, it is extremely hard to keep up with creating Engineering items without a very hefty amount of gold.
Leatherworking is a great profession that can land you some awesome gear pieces, throughout your journey as a Beast Mastery Hunter. Similar to other crafting professions, Leatherworking can become expensive for creating high-end items without pairing it with Skinning or another very good gold-generation profession. It is often better to simply buy the BoE items instead of picking up Leatherworking without Skinning.
Skinning is a great profession for Marksmanship Hunters who pick up Leatherworking. The profession allows players to skin beasts and gather their hides, creating Leather. The profession is great at gold generation as well, but it is mainly used to funnel Leatherworking when compared to Alchemy/Herbalism.

Useful Professions

Alchemy is known as the very best profession for gold generation! When paired with Herbalism, having Alchemy will make sure that you won’t lack any elixir, potion, or flask that you may require during combat. Sadly, besides gold generation, Alchemy underperforms when compared to the on-use consumables crafted with Engineering.
Herbalism is mainly used to funnel Alchemy but it is known as the second-best gold generation tool for any player as it allows them to gather herbs from across the world. Since potions, flasks, and elixirs are always in high demand, Herbalism will always generate one of the highest gold returns in the game.

Sub-Par Professions

Blacksmithing is a sub-optimal profession for Beast Mastery Hunters, providing only a few items of real value. The only valuable items are the keys that can unlock lockboxes, rods for enchanters to use, and a very few Mail craftable items. The issue with all the craftable gear is that it can easily be replaced by Dungeon gear or Leatherworking gear.
Enchanting is sub-optimal for any Beast Mastery Hunters besides its role in gold generation. Since enchants can be bought from someone else, the profession doesn’t grant any specific PvE use that couldn’t easily be acquired from another source.
Tailoring is yet another sub-par profession since the profession is mainly used to create Cloth. The only good part about this profession is the creation of bags and BoEs, effectively being just yet another gold-generation tool.

PvE Beast Mastery Hunter Best Professions

Jamielolx • Updated June 7, 2025

Professions are a crucial part of your World of Warcraft character, potentially offering a large boost to your damage, healing, or survivability, while also allowing you to generate some gold. This guide will cover some of your best options for professions as a Beast Mastery Hunter.

Best Professions

As with pretty much every class, engineering is BiS for speedrunning guilds. However, the stats for BM are rather lackluster:
We can’t really use the glove haste enchant (Nitrospeed Accelerators), and the rest of the enchants are more of a nerf than a buff stat-wise (pretty much all other ”normal” boot enchants having better stats than nitro boosts) – the mobility will make up for it in a lot of fights but Phase 1 has few high mobility fights. I would only recommend this profession after Phase 1. and if you are not in any form of speed running guild I would not recommend this profession at all.

Tailoring is your BiS enchant damage-wise, it has a proc for 400 attack power (400 attack power) that at least at the start of a fight syncs with all your cooldowns. The cooldown for this enchant is only 45 seconds making it a passive 133 Attack Power if uptime is perfect. As an additional advantage, this profession is very cheap to level.

Jewelcrafting is slightly weaker for this specific spec, compared to Survival and Marksmanship. it does however offer more flexibility with hit rating dragon’s eyes Rigid Dragon Eye, and still ranks at #2 stat-wise. I recommend using this together with Tailoring in Phase 1 if you commit solely to Beast mastery. The passive Attack Power gained accounts for 108AP if you replace the Bright Dragon’s Eyes for Bright Scarlet Ruby x3. It’s also a very good gold-making profession.

Useful Professions

Blacksmithing gives you two extra sockets, so offers some flexibility. In general however all it gives is +64 Attack Power and so is rather weak for Beast Mastery Hunters.

Gives your shoulder a +80 Attack Power increase, and saves you a lot of gold due to not having to farm Sons of Hodir Exalted rep.
Cheap to level up and a very good gold maker.

Lets you disenchant gear that you won’t use anymore for some easy gold or mats, you can also enchant your own gear and enchant other people’s gear for a fee — this all adds up for a nice bit of gold. Also, this grants +80 AP – x2 40 Attack Power via ring enchanted.

Grants +80 AP but is not as good of a gold maker as the other ones. Enchants your bracers with +130AP — compared to the best non prof – bracer enchant that is (Enchant Bracers – Greater Assault).

Doubles the amount of time your flask lasts but is only a 64AP increase. A good profession for gold generation, but not great for stats. this comes from the passive ability you get called Mixology. Note that in order to get this stat increase you have to be able to craft Flask of Endless Rage.

A farming profession that gives +40 crit, from Skinning, is better than alchemy and blacksmithing for BM surprisingly. but far from ideal. Skinning also just isn’t a great gold-making profession and requires you to do hard labor.

Sub-Par Professions

Gathering profession that literally doesn’t give any stats except for healing over time effect on a 3-minute cooldown through Lifeblood. This is actually a good gold maker though as far as farm professions go, so if you don’t care much about your hunter go ahead and pick it up.

Gathering prof that gives +60 Stamina through Toughness, no DPS increase but a good gold maker if you pair it with herbalism and don’t care about your hunter DPS.
