Roll Call

A friend of mine was surprised at the number of characters I had as paladins so I thought for my amusement I would list them off (Just the over 80s) in no particular order.

Hunters;

Beauty and the Demon

I've been not having a lot of fun in Warcraft lately.  Its not the people Im with, or the fights, or the quests or bugs.  I couldn't figure out what was going on till I read Cynwise's posts and it crystallized my thoughts.

It was my class.

I've been playing Warcraft for a long time and I'm used to no matter what being able to excel.  Draw up a plan, find the gear, top the charts.  But for the first time there isn't a way for me to reach that goal.  Not only that but its harder for me to even reach average perfomance.

Tracking and Pet Tricks (Hunters, Warlocks, Frost Mages)

Awesome Elf Hunter by Mab

Hunter pets were recently nerfed, their functionality severely reduced by the removal of the Aggressive and Defensive stance.  With some work I've managed to more or less get some of the old functionality back.

1) Run the new Defensive stance.  This means the pet will attack those attacking you/it.
2) Add into your attacks a line command: /click PetActionButton1
This will click the first button on your pet bar telling your pet to attack.  Its not perfect, in some cases its a huge pain.  But its less of a pain than the current stances.

Now I've been fiddling with the tracking for hunters.  Its a pain in city areas but handy in the wilds.  here is the result.

/run for i = 1, GetNumTrackingTypes() do local name, _, active = GetTrackingInfo(i) if name == "Track Humanoids" then return SetTracking(i, active == nil) end end

If it sees it running it turns it off, if it isn't running it casts it.  Kind of like in the 'good' old days when tracking didn't have that abominable drop down menu.  Want to track Beasts in stead (or whatever)?  Just change the name in the macro.
