Macro PSA

I like macros.

I am by no means an expert at their creation, but with enough time and puttering about on outdated forums, I can usually get a string of text that performs what I’m looking for.

However, sometimes the game conspires against me.

Case in point:

I’m working on my bizzarro druid. Now I don’t plan on tanking any time soon with her, but I would like to have a taunt available should the need ever arise for me to play the hero and save the healer or something exciting like that.

It’s a taunt so I’ll put it on the T button.

Bizzarro WoW: The Young Druid

I finally broke down and made a real bank alt character and am in the process of shifting the bank duties from my night elf druid to the new sucker.

Since my leveling pattern was already screwed over by my leveling-by-cooking/fishing, I’ve decided that dungeons will be the main method for leveling the druid. I’ll quest while in queue, but this is not the character that I will thoroughly experience the Alliance side of the post-Cataclysm world.

I plan on dual speccing balance – resto at 30, and am leveling as balance until I get there.

Bizzarro WoW: The Twittery

As the post title suggests, I spent some time this weekend on my Alliance characters.

I decided since the druid was at full rested XP she deserved setting aside the AH ledger and stepping foot in to a dungeon.

(Funny how the bank toon was the highest level, amazing what the daily cooking and fishing dailies will do for you at the lower levels.)

My gear is rather craptastic as my last few levels were gained via the aforementioned dailies – the best (and only) gear reward to be obtained through them was my fishing hat. As such, I decided that entering a dungeon queue as a healer might not be in the best interest of my party.

Good god, I couldn’t have been more wrong.

My first foray in to the low-level Alliance dungeon finder netted me a fresh Deadmines.

Bizzarro WoW: The beginning

As I mentioned yesterday, Tir has moved to a new server for raiding.

He also faction transferred.

*gasp*

While I have chosen to leave my established characters on Drak’Tharon, it appears that I am still under the 40 character limit for my account.

Obviously this needs to be rectified and I should immediately roll another 7 characters as *sigh* Alliance.

This pretty firmly puts me either into the camp of “nut job” or “altoholic.” Perhaps on a Venn diagram I’m right where those two intersect. I imagine it’s labeled “completely loony.”

So here are some observations about rolling Alliance toons after Cataclysm:
