Quick Shattering Question for you

-
I put a poll up in the blog. If you get this via a reader, please go to the site and answer the poll.

I don't want to be the bearer of ill tidings this week of Thanksgiving, but the portals to the capitals in Shattrah and Dalaran are being removed during tomorrow's maintenance. So, with the removal of portals from Shat and Dalaran, where will you set your hearth and why?

My death knight and shaman will return to Orgrimmar, the better to answer the Warchief's Commands.

My warlock's hearth will remain in Dalaran: her questing is not yet done in Northrend.

My paladin is still adventuring in the old world, and the last 9 levels of it are going to be completely new. I'm pretty excited. :) I think I might wander over to the Plaguelands and aid the paladins there in their cleanup jobs.

Undercity probably. As a druid i have quick access to Kalimdor via Moonglade and as an engineer quick access to Northrend

Voted for Org.

I've got the Argent Crusade tabard that lets you port to the tourney and with a 310 mount it's a quick trip to Dalaran should I need to be there.

Orgrimmar, so I can get to the new leveling areas and hit the ground running in a couple of weeks. I have the Argent Crusade tabard to take care of any unfinished business in Northrend.

You need to add an option for "I've played the beta and seen how terrible Cata is...the endless bugs, lack of level cap content, and changes to classes unbalancing the entire game caused me to quit wow." :)

Main to stormwind, the alts I will probably shift over time at least a few have good reason to still stay in dalaran.

On the Alliance side, Stormwind is the obvious choice due to its central location: tram to Ironforge and boat to (near) Darnassus and Borean Tundra. It will also have two banks and two auction houses, making the trade districts less congested.
Darnassus and Exodar will most likely be completely deserted (as they already are), with the exception of bank mules. Speaking of which, I expect there will be a lot of Worgen-become-mules once stopping in at the AH is a hassle and the novelty of the new races wears off. At least my worgen druid will look smart in a tux.

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
