Best professions

10,000 iterations

Second profession: free choice, none of the others adds 0.1%.

What the 789.5 DPS reference loses without each profession, against the best gear it could wear instead. Not modelled: the Battle Chicken's own attacks, Alchemist's Stone, Engineering utility. The engine also gives Skinning 5% damage to Beasts and Dragonkin (+5.0% on such a boss), but no spell in Forever's client grants it, so it is left out.
