Useful Mage/Priest Macro

This is a macro that I use on Hulan and Winífred a lot.  Basically, you create the macro and put it on a button.  Select your target to be cc’d and either left-click the button or press the key if it’s keybound.  This will cast your cc spell and make the target your focus.  You can now switch to any other target without losing your focus.  When you need to re-apply the cc just right-click the button and your focus will be re-sheeped/shackled without you losing your target.

/focus [nobutton:2]

Useful Nets

Every now and again I come across something that make me think “Doh!  Why didn’t I think of that!”  Both my mage and my priest are tailors and both have been able to make Netherweave Nets for some time but I have never made a single one.   The mage was levelled as deep frost and the priest as shadow, I never thought I needed a net.  Why?  Well, by the time Wini had finished casting all her frosty goodness that even if a mob does run it’s going so slowly it’s an easy job to finish it off before it gets far; if she needs to escape then nova, blink and leg it (that sounds like a firm of solicitors!).  As for Hulan, her victims were dotted and being flayed alive, again something that slows them considerably and for escapes it was usually something along the lines of bubble, fear and run like hell.
