Ok, i’ve got less than a week until i get back to the college, i’ve got enough cash to buy the largest online time deal, and i’ve desided to reroll a Mage (with FF’s help) on the server, just one thing i can’t figure out what Race or what proffesions to pick… I’m thinking between Human or Draenei and but not sure which one to get and what the best profession will work with them. Anyone else willing to help a poor noob out?
Human is alright for a mage, but gnome would be better. Unless you plan to jewelcraft, then I’d recommend Draenei. But with the new profession coming out that allows you to tweak your spells, I’m definitely considering dropping alch and picking that up instead (assuming it doesn’t completely suck). Also, gnomes just have the pimp dance and harder to see for PvP 
The only thing human mages really got going for them is perception, but that can easily be done without.
As for the professions, I’d start out with skinning+ mining/herbalism just to bank some dough, and then drop skinning for a craft. I really like herbalism and alch, because now that some of the elixers now stack with spells, they really help out.
You should let me know when you start this guy out. I just rolled a draenei shaman on Alterac and it’d be nice to level up with someone.
