Happy Friday the 13th all!
I’d really like to have a post about loot rolls .. and bad luck.. but I’m just not able to get past the first sentence. So.. pretend you read something witty to that end.

Fiancee is helping another player with his hunter. I promised to repost his pulling macro.
Here’s the macro I use for pulling something. Set this up in your macros with the “?” icon.
#showtooltip Distracting Shot
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,noexists]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/cast [target=focus] Distracting Shot
/stopcasting
What it does:
Show the distracting shot icon.
If my focus is dead,
or if my focus doesn’t exist,
Set me target to be my focus.
Cast distracting shot on my focus.
Then stop shotting (Ie, stop my auto-shot).
Normally you’d use this to pull something to you to put it in a freezing trap (but stop auto-shooting so you don’t break your freezing trap). This sets your target to be your focus.. so if you have the right addons (I’m thinking Quartz) setup you’ll see a timer for your trap duration.
Keep in mind that distracting shots don’t break ice traps. So if you think that the healer is getting higher than you on the trapped mob’s threat list (or if you have to feighn death) you can hit this macro again to hit your focus with another distracting shot.

[Deprecated: with the 3.0.x patch, you can only carry one healthstone. So the macro is still useful.. just not as useful as it used to be.]
The following macro will allow you to have a single button for multiple healthstones. If you have all three sizes, then clicking this once will use the biggest one. Then the second click (after 2 mins) will use the middle sized one. Clicking this a 3rd time (after 2 mins) will use the smallest healthstone.
It will show as a tooltip the smallest healthstone. Assuming you have one in your inventory the icon will show up until you use the smallest healthstone.
#showtooltip item:22103
/use item:22105
/use item:22104
/use item:22103
If you wanted to, you could add “/use Charged Crystal Focus” as the last line and then when you run out of cookies it will start eating crystal focus.

Lilac is a mad cackling example of OP-ness! BUT everytime I’d look at maxdps.com for the affliction warlock I’d get depressed. Maxdps.com says I should be kicking around 1k dps.. and instead I’m -sometimes- hitting 750. What gives?
Seriously.. I’ve been in a funk thinking I sucked. Then I started checking their numbers.

Early last week Weaver added a “SSC trash run” to the calendar for Saturday. The plan was to round up whoever we could get and kill SSC trash so we could get a feel for it and hopefully get a few pattern drops.
About 3 hours before the raid fiancee, our guild leader, approached the guild “Guardians of the Flame” and suggested an alliance. We’ve been in an in-name alliance with the guild “Shadow Warlords” for a while.. but for the last month or two SW has gone on 25-mans without us.. and we’ve.. well we haven’t really done anything. On our own we just don’t have the numbers.

Zen of Design wrote this about Age of Conan. It made me laugh. It also made me glad I’m not playing AoC.. I’m now even less tempted to try it than before.

I was reading at “Musings from an Angry Bansidhe” and she/he did a sig for Ratshag in his Dwork costume.
And I got to thinking… October is just around the corner.. what would be funnier than Ratshag in his Dwork costume wearing an Orc mask?
Ok.. I guess you just had to be there.

So I’ve got this macro problem.. you might call it an addiction.. but that’s only if you look at it from the outside where it looks all obsessive and weird. From the insider (my view) it looks perfectly normal.
Anyway.. Lilac has run out of macro slots. I know, hard to imagine.. but every single slot for a macro for Lilac is totally full. The part that frustrates me.. is that most of her macros follow a template.
I have all these spells.. and I want them to work the same way.. no matter which spell I hit.

This is another addon that I think should be built into the default UI. It’s not quite Tier 1 (I can’t live without it) but it definitely falls into Tier 2 (Life is way easier with this).
Mendeleev (named for the inventor of the periodic table)(which is interesting.. but makes the name hard to remember as I don’t see how it’s relevant to the function of the Addon)(but anyway) updates the tooltips of items with helpful information. It will tell you what recipes use that item, who drops an item (and at what percent) and other helpful information.
