Every WoW Classic & Hardcore Season Of Discovery Profession, Ranked
The professions in have changed a lot from expansion to expansion. Now, with the Season of Discovery revitalizing and the option to play on Hardcore servers, the original form of professions has regained relevancy. With the additional threat of permanent death from Hardcore, professions are now crucial to surviving and avoiding the loss of all items and progress.
Like in Retail, professions are still classified into primary and secondary types. Each character is limited to only two primary professions, such as Herbalism and Alchemy, but can learn all three secondary professions (Fishing, Cooking, and First Aid). This means that it's important to pick the right professions early to avoid having to lose progress and start from the beginning with a new one.

Leatherworking isn't necessarily a bad profession, but for Hardcore in particular, it's not the best option because it doesn't offer much in terms of adding survivability to a character. It's also reliant on Skinning, which takes up the second primary profession slot in order to avoid using the auction house to acquire every reagent to craft items.
