Tailoring in WotLK: the best profession for cloth users?

Why does Tailoring seem so obvious to cloth users?

Because she naturally talks to:

• type of armor
• craft from the ecosystem itself
• exclusive embroidery
• identity of multiple cloth classes

But that doesn't mean it's always the best answer at any stage.

1. Key Benefits of Tailoring on Patch

2. Which classes derive the most value from the profession

The classes that most often look for Tailoring are: -Mage -Warlock -Priest

But how much it's worth changes by: -spec

• PvE/PvP focus
• moment of progression
• combination with another profession

3. Impact on PvE, PvP and personal economy

PvE

embroidery and integration with gear tend to weigh more

PvP

the value exists, but it needs to be read together with the spec proposal and other professions

Personal economy

Tailoring can help with craft, cloth value and some autonomy — especially when combined well

4. Limits and maintenance cost in the endgame

Tailoring may lose priority when:

• the account meta points more towards another profession
• the maintenance cost is heavy with no clear return
• the player no longer uses the full profession package as much

---

5. When Tailoring stops being a priority

It ceases to be a priority when:

• your class/spec values another route more
• the profession bonus no longer weighs so much towards your objective
• the opportunity cost increases too much
