Well, I'm starting a horde mage and i was wondering if those goggles in engineering are really worth it. I kind of want to do Alch/herb or Enchant/mining, but I want what would benefit me the most at 70. My last mage had taken engineering and mining up to level 30. I didn't get 70 on it so I couldn't judge it that much, so i want someones opinion on whether it's worth it or not.
Thanks for the help in advance!

tailoring and enchanting are the best for mages in my opinion

For pvp, you'd be better off getting Engineering
For pve, you'd be better off getting Tailoring etc.

Tailoring/Enchanting patterns drop more in PvE
Engineering has some nice tricks, bombs (frost bombs are pwnage with frost mage) and the Goggles are always nice

I think I've decide what professions to choose. Thanks everybody!

Engineering is good for all classes i think

That pretty much sums it up.

I myself have a 70 mage that used to be a 375 tailor but gave it up for engineering. Personallly i think that engineering is way better. Not only are the goggles amazing but so are many other items that you can get. The Gnomish Poultryzer is my favorite and has saved me more times that i can count. But if you really want to focus on PVE and not worry on the PVP aspect much at all i would reccomend tailoring for obvious reasons.

Really if I were you I would go tailoring until 70 then switch out to engineering so at least at 70 you have decent gear for you to pvp until you get arena gear.

tailoring/enchanting is an awesome combo for mages. Spellfire is awesome.

Yeah but Spellfire only needs tailoring and the 24 spelldmg on the rings aren't that big of a deal.

If you want to PvP i'd say go for Mining / Engineer. Grenades are fun.
If you want to PvE i'd say go for Tailoring / Engineer. The Googles are par with T5 helmet.

I like how half your gear is PvP, and and is PvE. BTW, nice wand, dagger, wrists, chest, and shoulders.

Niceeeee
Ontopic- My mage is tailoring/mining, and my lock is enchanting (tailoring in the 200s doesn't count.)

Havnt read much of the other respone's but engineering can never be a downside... you get some sick googles and fun trinkets. But its a money hog.

In high-end raiding guilds its usually required for a mage to have Leather working for drums+ enchanting is great for pve/pvp bc of ring enchants only good thing about engineering is the t5 equivlent helm. However, Killing Vashj isnt that hard...Overall i recomend Enchanting/LW or Tailoring/LW
