Best Restoration Druid Professions
Mists of Pandaria provides us with a variety of viable professions unlike Cataclysm where we were locked to specific optimal professions. Listed below are the best professions players can select from as they all provide a static +320 Intellect increase.
Alchemy
Alchemy grants players Alchemist’s Flask, which is an elixir usable in arena combat.
Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing provides two additional gem sockets, one on bracers and another on gloves.
Enchanting
Enchanting allows us to enchant our rings with Greater Intellect.
Inscription
Inscription provides us with Secret Crane Wing Inscription, which is an enhancement from our original shoulder enchant, Greater Crane Wing Inscription.
Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting grants access to unique, Jewelcrafting only gems, which are important for stronger consistent throughput and survivability. Your best gem from this profession is the Brilliant Serpent’s Eye.
Leatherworking
Leatherworking provides us with a stronger version of Super Intellect; Fur Lining – Intellect.
Alternative Restoration Druid Professions
Even though these professions are slightly weaker than our static bonuses, these professions are still viable for Resto Druid. Additionally these are super solid picks for other Druid specs, making it easier to dual spec.
Engineering
Engineering is slightly weaker than our primary Restoration Druid professions provided above, granting us Synapse Springs which reacts as an 10 second on-use effect on a 1 minute cooldown. This grants a considerable amount of main stat, allowing you to snapshot HoTs and receive an on-demand healing boost.
Tailoring
Tailoring offers an additional enchant for your cloak, but is instead a proc based enchant as opposed to our static or on-use bonuses. Depending on your current stats, you can select either Lightweave Embroidery for some heavy main stat, or Darkglow Embroidery to help with any mana issues.
