One year anniversary of Unusual Suspects

-
Finally, a post goes under the "Guild" tag that I'm actually happy to post.

One year ago, our Raid Team broke off from the guild we had been a part of since before Karazhan and formed our own Guild. It was a move that had been a long time in coming.

We decided to do something special for our Guild and Raid Leader to commemorate the anniversary of our guild. So we all pitched in and bought him a Mechno-Hog. We know he could probably easily afford one himself, but he's far too practical and would never buy it. It's been a terrific first year for our Guild.



Boston oversaw our breakup from our former guildmates. Then he slowly and skillfully brought in people who would fit our guild. Next he then oversaw our transfer over to Hordeside. Each step of the way he's guided us and I'm proud to say that we've accomplished every major goal we set as a guild. There's been minimal drama, and our guild has been a great place to call home in game.

Leading a Guild is no easy task, but Boston does a fantastic job. Today, we say thank you to our Guild Leader, and my co-Tank, my wingman, Boston. Here's to another great year.

After we gave Boston his surprise, we formed up and went on a 6/12 Heroic run of ICC.

Honors,

I ask because I'm always curious how different guilds handle hardmodes. Which 6 do you currently have on farm, what order did you do them in, and which HM's are next?

We started with Marrowgar and then did Gunship. Next we did Death Whisper and Saurfang. Then it was Festergut and Rotface. We have actually also killed heroic BQL but I haven't bogged about it yet. Next up is 3 Princes.

I just wanted to say thanks Honors and everyone in Devolve.It was great.

@ Anonymous : We have Marrowgar, Deathwhisper, Lootship, Saurfang, Fester, Rotface and Blood Queen on farm.That's also pretty much the order in which we did them in. Next up will be Blood Prince Council and Dreamwalker.

My guild also just started doing HM (10man) in ICC. Well actually, we were going for the 310 Drake. Some Hardmodes, some achievements.

First week we did Marrowgar HM, Death Whisper Achievement, Ship HM, Saurfang HM, Rotface HM, Festergut HM, Putricide Achievement, and Valithria HM.

I wasn't in the group for the second week, but from the guild achievements they did Death Whisper HM, Rotface Achievement, Festergut Achievement, and Valithria Achievement.

They're working on Sindragosa Achievement next and then probably Putricide HM.

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
