Cataclysm Profession Bonuses
I mentioned towards the end of my last post that I would be switching my Hunter from Skinning to Engineering. Well the little caveat I made about not gimping myself turned out to be pretty important. I had a brief Twitter conversation with Fiest the Rogue. If you care about high end PVE raiding, you need to be following @ FiesttheRogue . He is a tremendous resource and very helpful. He gave me a link to an EJ article and explained to me that for melee DPS and Hunters Engineering is not competitive with what is provided by the other professions. Its fantastic for casters apparently, but I'm not a caster. Other classes can get equal STR or INT to the AGI you see here. Tanks have the option for Stamina. Alchemy - mixology (longer, better flasks), Alchemist Stone (special trinket - Mastery), and Flask of Enhancement (special flask +80 AGI) Blacksmithing - socket bracers, gloves (2 extra gems ~=+80 AGI) Enchanting - Ring Enchants (AGI to two rings ~= 80 AGI) Inscription -

Its a shame that the server is that lopsided.... "stay good honors... stay good" [said as kiki from sluggy freelance]
have fun
Going from Dwarf to Blood Elf is just so wrong!
Now I must hunt you down and slay you. Horde scum.
Another Blood Elf Paladin and Blogger, this will cause a Cataclysm. It wasn't Deathwing doing :)
This also brings up the issue of is faction change going to make unbalanced servers even worse? I'm curious because the guild I run on Elune (PvE) has had a horde "sister" guild for years, and only in the past year or so has it really started to get going. Our server is unbalanced in the other direction (Alliance outnumbers Horde by a good bit) but we have people starting to transfer 80s to our Horde. I can see this happening to Explorer/Achiever types of people, but it wasn't the direction of travel I expected.
Any thoughts?
After you catch your breath, you might have to update your sidebar, which says:
"Honorshammer, Level 80 Dwarf Paladin, Main"
I can understand changing factions though on a PVP server to get to the side so you don't have as many issues.
But it is still a sad sad day.
RIP Honorhammer, the best dwarf paladin I knew.
He said in a previous post that his guild, or at least his raid core, was going to transfer to Horde when faction transfers became available. And his preference was Guild/Crew over Toon, hence the transfer.

/gratz!
Muhahah, you have come over to the dark side!
Now let's go kill some Dwarves... just kidding!
Tell us more about this change. Did the whole guild swap to horde? why?
Anyway, enjoy it!
For the Horde!
I'll still read your blog though! :)
Trust me you'll come to hate Garrosh just as much as you did when you were Alliance.
You will have to let us know what difference you all were seeking with a faction transfer when raiding was your only priority and doesn't seem to matter which faction you are on when it comes to raiding, unless you need more numbers. At least your Tier Gear will look more bad ass as horde, only thing i can say looks better is that they look more aggressive in their T9 than we do.
Alas it is a sad day, the light has lost a great ally to the darkside and now must be hunted with the rest of the Sith....er Horde lol:P
