Before we jump in, you should be aware that for Leatherworking, classic wow gold players can specialise in either Dragonscale Leatherworking (where you’ll craft more mail-type gear), Elemental Leatherworking (where you’ll get more leather-type agility gear) and Tribal Leatherworking (more leather-type gear, such as the Devilsaur Armour set).
Professions and Classes
Leatherworking works best with Skinning, as you’ll need the reagents for crafted gear. Druids, Rogues, Shaman, and Hunter may be interested in pairing their own gear to Leatherworking and Skinning. As for Leatherworking specialties, Shaman and Hunter would choose Dragonscale as it provides mail gear, Leather-wearers interested in DPS / healing raid performance would choose Tribal Leatherworking for the agility and intellect gear, while Leather-wearers needing resistance gear would choose Elemental Leatherworking.

Your Leatherwork skill is now being opened. Select a recipe to see how to make it.

Changing Speciality
If you're not, or would like to change, happy with your specialty, there's a way to do that at WoW Classic. Yet you must relearn your profession. First, unlearn Leatherworking: Press 'K' to open your skills menu, by default. Scroll to find the profession you are currently in. Click it. Look for the red circle to unlearn alongside the profession, with a slash across it. Level up your leatherworking, starting from scratch, and getting back up to 200. Travel to Tanaris' Steamwheedle Port, and find the gnome, Narain Soothfancy, inside a hut. You will find Book "Soothsaying for Dummies" inside the hut where he is located, that you can right-click on. This book lets you change the specialisations you have acquired in your profession before. There is no quest or fee involved in doing so at this time.
