I recently got a great gelder in my migrant wave, have no idea what I should do with it though... the skill seems highly useless unless you want to be able to have two cats without having 1000 cats...

All are fine, even cheesemakers, at least for the speed increase. Only exception is gem setter as it increases the chance for large gems.

Let's see...

I value weaponsmith and armorsmith about equally. Those skills are extremely useful both for defense and for trade, even though I would never use produced weapons as a primary trade good except when I'm feeling particularly dorfy. Beyond them, Soldiers and Doctors are my favorite to have as legendaries. So, yeah, I'm pretty generic in that respect.

Cheese making
Swimming
Fish Dissection

Conversationalist.

With a preference for crafts or large gems, of course.

Weaponsmiths (best skill ever), armorsmiths (second best skill), mason, miner, military skills, metalsmith,  mechanic, bone carver, miner, cook, grower, stone crafter, metal crafter, herbalist, carpenter, teacher (with high military skills) and animal trainer.

In rough order of importance. The rest ? nah.

I find it easier to get my weaponsmithes to legendary by mass producing trap components for sale or actual use though. So my favourite would be armor smith.

And biter of course, nothing it better than a legendary biter. Miscellanious object user ist a close 2nd, especially when we will be getting taverns. Need to be able to dish out some damage in the inevitable bar brawl.

I find armorsmiths equally as easy to train (that is to say, not that easy) than weaponsmiths. Copper armor, all day, erry day. So you can armor your civilians.

And biter of course, nothing it better than a legendary biter.

True. Legendary biter is truly an underdog skill.

My dwarves never train biter though in training. Or barely.

I looove legendary doctors. I had a nasty bad guy attack and a dozen broken dorfs with varied injuries, then a legendary itinerant doctor arrived on migration, and healed them all up in minutes. He stitched and stitched and bandaged and cleaned wounds and set bones, and even issued a dorf child with a crutch. It was epic.

I don't think you can mark dwarves for gelding at all, unless you set something up to turn them into pets for the duration of the procedure. And even that probably wouldn't work because transforming back would heal all their injuries.

1. Soldiers
2. Weaponsmiths
3. Armorsmiths
4. Brewers
5. Cooks
6. Doctors

The reason I rate doctors so low is that the only reason I've ever seen patents die has been because of neglect, not malpractice. Soldiers are good for making epic bloodbaths, weaponsmiths and armorsmiths equipt the soldiers, and brewers and cooks keep them happy.

actually brewers aren't THAT useful. Of course it is a truly dwarven skill but yeah.

When beer will have quality levels (and it definitely should have) it will be different. Also selling booze should be more profitable.
