Getting Started as a Shaman
This class is limited when starting out, for example, only the Dranei can be a Shaman for the Alliance. If you are on the Horde side, only the Trolls, Orc, the Undead or Taurean can qualify to be a Shaman. Although you must learn to accept some of these races’ weaker points, they too have strengths that can be rather useful in the long run.

Choosing a Shaman Profession
It’s not a good idea to focus on more physical professions like leatherworking and blacksmithing. The best profession for Shamans are herbalism and enchanting. You may choose skinning for they are useful somehow. It is vital that you find the right balance between primary and secondary professions.
Combining alchemy with herbalism, or alchemy with enchanting are also a few options you may consider. Nevertheless, combining alchemy and herbalism or enchanting plus alchemy is not a bad idea. Others think that mining (as secondary profession) will help you get items, but it actually wastes your extra time in the game.
If you wish to create money, mixing potions is by far the best business for a Shaman. Potions are usually in high on demand and you could always have them for yourself. It would be a good idea to focus most of your time to mastering your professions as a Shaman as you may increase your skills and create better and more powerful concoctions that can, not only earn you a larger amount of money, but also earn you more acclamation as well.
Although it can still be useful to pick the tailoring profession, since this makes you capable of working on your own armor, most players opt to just buy their own when needed. Do not worry; for leather armors are available at Level 40 at an available price. During the journey, pieces of armors are given away as rewards. Therefore, choose a profession that will help you develop your skills for your group.
