Paladin the Holy warrior | ||||||||||||||

[Mining] is the most popular Gathering Profession choice for Paladins because of its synergy with [Blacksmithing] and [Engineering]. [Herbalism] is also a popular choice for Paladins because of its synergy with [Alchemy]. [Skinning] is less useful since it is best combined with [Leatherworking], meanwhile a Paladin can wear Mail armor straight away (which is the focus of low-level [Blacksmithing]).
Paladins are the most limited class in the game in terms of ranged damage. They cannot use any ranged weapons. [Exorcism] is the only ranged damage opportunity before [Holy Shock] (for the Holy Paladin), although it only effects daemons and the undead; meanwhile the limited-use [Hammer of Wrath] becomes available at mid-levels. Due to this ranged limitation, [Engineering] is a good choice for Paladins because of its various ranged explosive and guardian-type devices.
The Paladin's ability to wear mail/plate, use shields, and wield almost all types of melee weapons makes [Blacksmithing] a good choice if [Mining] is chosen as a gathering profession. Paladins will be able to produce highly sought-after shield and weapon enhancements such as weight/sharpening stones, shield spikes, and weapon chains that counter disarm effects.
[Alchemy] offers a wide variety of potions, elixirs, and the much sought after flasks that boost health and mana, and provide additional temporary traits and bonuses to existing stats. It is a profession useful to any class, and a typical 40-man raid will find themselves in need of at least one Alchemist.
[First Aid] is recommended as a fair backup healing plan for when mana is exhausted, if you intend your Paladin to be a healer-type. It also is useful to any class. Take note that high-level first aid is necessary for the Loatheb encounter in Naxxramas.
[Cooking] allows you to learn recipes that give you short-term Stamina or other bonuses, which is always useful to any class.
