Leatherworking and Tailoring are both professions in WOW but which profession is better especially when your character is in healing.

Of course, both have its own advantage and disadvantages and you will have to find out which is better for your character.

Leatherworking can craft 23 items using spell power. Tailoring on the other hand can craft 46 items. It you decided to let go Gathering skills to choose between Leatherworking and Tailoring, fear not for both skills are able to generate more Gold as well as Gathering although Gathering is more lucrative.

What you can craft with Leatherworking:

1. Frosthide Leg Armor

2. Icescale Leg Armor

3. Jormungar Leg Armor

4. The Heavy Borean Armor Kit

What you can craft with Tailoring:

1. Azure Spellthread

2. Shining Spellthread

3. Frostweave Bag

4. Glacial Bag

Here are some comparisons between Leatherworking and Tailoring:

  • Both Leatherworking and Tailoring have a good number of similar options for a healing Druid.
  • Tailoring is a self-sufficient gathering tradeskill. Northern Cloth Scavenging will help you acquire the cloth you need to level your skill, especially if you run a lot of instances with humanoids. A leatherworker has to pick up Skinning on her main character or an alt or be willing to place herself at the mercy of the auction house.
  • Tailoring currently has slightly more self-only Druid-friendly benefits (one of the self-only benefits for Leatherworkers only benefits melee characters), though the addition of Drums should even the score.
  • Leatherworking includes the Overcast PvP set, and the Improved Tree of Life talents make all leather armor more valuable than it would have been otherwise.
  • Tailored items are typically more attractive (and more visible since Leatherworking doesn’t include an epic chestpiece), but this doesn’t matter to everyone and is only relevant outside of Tree of Life. Tailoring also comes with a sweet-looking magic carpet (beautiful Persian princess not included).

Recommendations: Leatherworking to a Restoration Druid (PvP) and Tailoring to a Restoration Druid who intends to have Balance as off spec. Otherwise you can level both.
