Hey everybody! What's in your opinion best class for Skinning? I think it's Worgen - DK. The way DK can handle multiple enemies and the Worgen's 0,5 sec skinning racial makes him probably the best skinner. Let me hear your thoughts?
Worgen DK ofcourse, do a few Hour of twilights for gear. Or buy all those 377s, with honor weapon. only limitation is the mobs distance from each other
I originally figured the question had been asked before but when I searched I coudn't find a thread with it in the title.. But I think another reason why there aren't alot of ppl replying is because there really isn't much of a benefit of any class for skinning other then survivability in the fighting involved. If you're talking about automated via bot, then the only thing I wouldn't do is think of a range class as the most effecient cause they'd have to skin and then run to the corpse to skin. Melee would be right there to skin the carcus. True, as you pointed out Worgen do have a faster skinning time... and I know that 1/2 a second does add up over time - but I'm just not that picky to worry about that myself - especially since I only have ONE Ally remaining and he's for my cross-faction trading (and not a worgan).
Personally I have a Shaman for skinning but that's just to feed his LW prof. I'm also Horde so I use a Troll Shaman as the damage bonus to beasts means he is killing them faster so he can skin them quicker too. This logic means it probably saves around the same amount of time as your skinning bonus on Worgen. Horde for life!
Don't know why that much people chosen Hunters. It may be best class for hand farming (keeping mobs on the pet - killing much mobs - loot - skin - agro much mobs...), but due to bot's logic (kill 1 mob - out of combat - loot - skin - kill...) it's not that effective. Thought about Druid for self-heal, but self-heal isn't that necessary at 90 level well geared character with bot's logic. DK looks fine cause of high DPS. Rogue maybe.
