Where Are You At In Raiding?

-
I've added a poll to the website that asks the question: Where does your next progression boss reside?

What I'm trying to figure out is where my readers are at in terms of raiding. Are you just getting started with Naxx? Are you still attacking Ulduar? Maybe you're in Trial of the Crusader, or have started on Heroic mode.

Poll will be up for one week.

You should have made it check boxes instead, I run 25 regular, as in normal modes on classic 25 format. But I run with a pretty serious 10 man group and I consider that to be where my real progression comes from.

We still need to take down Yogg 25 and do most of the 25 hardmodes, but aside from that our "progression" is going to be focused on ToC Heroic 25.

Great point Wankster. I did change it to allow multiple answers, but doing that wiped out all the votes so far. So if you voted befoe the chance, please vote again.

Gee, no option for "I haven't set foot in a raid since Kara during the closing days of BC, but still aspire to being ready if I ever have enough guildmates to try something."

Admittedly, the simple answer is I don't raid, so the poll doesn't apply. But I read anyway because I'm the sort who wants to be able to tackle new stuff, even if I won't readily leave friends (guildmates) behind to do so.

My guild is currently working our way through Ulduar 10. We're not populous enough to do 25 man anything on our own, but I'm happy with just doing 10 mans.

We're working on the Keepers right now, and have started doing some of the easier hard modes for the ones leading up to them.

Where's the option for gearing up? I suppose getting into Naxx 10 would be progression for me, but I don't think that's really what the poll intended.

Well Raiding progression for me is somewhat suspended or in Limbo if I can say that. I basically haven't really raided since my ex-longtime guild broke up on my now last server since early May or so a few months ago. After that guild broke up I pretty much just lost a bit of whatever drive I had at the time since.

Naxx 25 was done. We did 10 man Ulduar and got ad far as Freya. That's as far as my Raid Progression went before guild broke up and everyone moved on to other things.

I simply moved on and started all over. Just not raiding at the moment. Raiding is in limbo for me. Just doing other thing at the moment.

Goblin versus Gnome Engineering in Cataclysm

-
I’ve made some changes based on the comments, and may continue to do so. As I worked up my Hunter’s Engineering, I got to the point of choosing between Goblin and Gnome Engineering. I’m doing this with an eye towards Cataclysm. I found very little help in several web searches, so I thought I would use my own reasoning as a guide to others who might be facing this choice. There was some talk about removing specializations from professions which would remove the choice entirely. I actually hoped this was route the developers would take. The profession specializations have been removed from Leatherworking, Tailoring, and  Blacksmithing. They have NOT been removed from Engineering or Alchemy. Jewelcrafting, Inscription, and Enchanting never had specializations to begin with. As of this writing (11.27.2010) Goblin and Gnome Engineering are still in play. However, there are no known Goblin or Gnome specialization recipes for 80 to 85, and if you base it on the materials needed the last Go

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 -

Raid Comp Tool

Thanks to Matticus to telling me about this on Twitter. mmo-champion has produced a new Raid Composition tool, you can see it here: http://raidcomp.mmo-champion.com/ On the left you have all 30 'classes'. Every spec of every class is presented. In the center are your groups. I have no idea why they have this set up with 8 groups. You'd only ever see 8 groups (40 players) in AV and you have almost 0 control over the composition in that arena. Then on the right you have the raid buffs, and a count of Healers, Ranged, Melee, and Tanks. You drag the class from the left and drop it on the raid group slot. Your count is increased, and the buffs that you have covered light up in green. Let me pick a class/spec completely at random. Protection Paladin. There. Say you pull over a Protection Paladin and put them in group 1. Your Tank count goes to 1 and you can see Mana Restore (Judgement of Wisdom), Melee Attack Speed Slow (Judgement of the Just), and Healing Received (Impro
