I am number four

-
I finished leveling the Shaman over the weekend.
Enhancement proved to be a fun leveling spec, and I loved all the Shaman spells graphics, even on the healing spells. The biggest downside was times when I'd go a while without a Stormbreaker proc and it felt like all I was doing was Rockbiter and Flame Lash to bleed off Maelstrom. .

I didn't get the quest for Argus, but instead I got Uniting the Isles. I guess this was because I wasn't done with Highmountain and I hadn't even started on Val'sharah, yet. I guess I needed to do those if I'm going to get to the Broken Isles with him and get his class mount. Part of the reason was rested but a big part was the Invasions. I hit up two this weekend. While you can't get the overall quest or the ending scenario, all the Invasion World Quests reward experience.
This gives me four 110 toons I've leveled all the way up. The other three were Paladin, Hunter, and my Horde Druid. My other 110 is my Alliance Druid which I used the Legion 100 boost on. The Warrior comes next and he's already Level 100 and working his way through Azuna. I managed to get him to 98 during the weekend and he was able to do both Invasions as well. With any luck, he'll be 110 by the end of next weekend.

I don't see any way the Monk, currently 48, makes it to 110 by the prepatch, even with 8 hours of Enlightenment. If I end up going Monk, I'll have to use my Battle for Azeroth boost on him. I would like to at least get him to 60 to get the Veteran bonuses to professions.

I enjoyed the the Shaman enough that I've put it in my top 3 classes for my new Battle for Azeroth main. The others contenders Monk and Hunter.

Congrat. I actually did the stupid thing of having all 12 specs done. When pre-purchase and ally races became available, I went through the process of leveling void elf and lightforged draenei again (warlock/hunter). The warlock became my new guild bank alt for the purpose of mostly sitting in front of auction house and a mailbox.

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
