Best professions
No profession adds 0.1% DPS to the Smite Priest reference in the sim. Pick yours for gold or utility.
What the 649.7 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 (+4.9% on such a boss), but no spell in Forever's client grants it, so it is left out.
