#WOW HUNTER PROFESSIONS LEGION PLUS#

In Legion, its the mats that were typically BoP, not the crafted gear.

If you have LW, then any BoP patterns you'll be able to make for yourself.

So if your enchanter is a main (or often played alt) then you're less likely to ever run out of mats. If you have enchanting, you can DE your BoP items. (mining:moose, herbalism: tauren, skinning: worgen) If your pet doesn't have aggro on a mob, you might still be able to gather before you're interrupted, or in the case of skinning, you are less likely to be skinjaed. If looting/skinning is done the same as in BfA, you have to worry about other players tagging and not looting, and also other players skinjaing your kills.ДЇor those three professions, if your race gives you a gathering speed bonus, that's even better.

Plus if you take LW, you'll be gathering your own mats. Skinning, with a pet you can aoe farm beasts and not have to worry as much as getting too many (as other classes). Finally, with feign death (and camo, if you have it) you can avoid combat to get to nodes. Your pet can take the hits while you gather. Plus, with a pet, you don't have to worry about a node despawning because someone looted it but you can't because of mobs hitting you. I having herbalism on my hunter, and got several darkmoon decksworth of herbs patrolling for King Krush back in WotLK. Plus, if you're camping or doing a patrol looking for a rare spawn to tame, you can gather as you wait. Mining and herbing give xp, if that matters. Depending on what you like to do, and how many alts you have, etc, there may be better choices. I don't know exactly how it will be in BfA, but there's typically a market for mats if there's a market for anything crafted.
