Under Arrest

Hulan smoothed down her dress and inspected her hair closely in the mirror, tidying away a few stray wisps.  She turned to her father, “Wha’ do ye think Pa?”
“Och, I think ye look lovely lass, pretty as a picture you are.”
Hulan snorted and tossed her head, “I’s no a fashion parade Imma goin’ ta, i’s an important interview.  I dinnae want ta look pretty, I want ta look smart an’ tidy!”
Thorden grinned at his daughter, “Well ye look tha’ too lassie.”
Hulan turned back to the mirror and fussed nervously with her hair.  “I do ‘ope it turns out all right.  This guild ‘as very ‘igh standards an’ I dunno that I’m gud enuf fer ‘em.”
“Not gud enough fer ‘em?!” Thordenn roared “Dinna be thinkin’ like that lassie!  Yer gud enough for any guild in Azeroth an’ dinna ye go sayin’ any different!”
Hulan caught her father’s eye in the mirror and grinned “Mebbe I shud send yesself up ta Ironforge, ye cud speak fer me an’ tell ‘em how gud I am.  Then again, mebbe ye’d frighten tha poor wee bugger ‘alf ta death an’ they’d never let me in!”
Thorden smiled sheepishly, “Ye dinna need me ta speak fer ye lassie, yer quite capable o’ doin’ that fer yesself.  I dinna like ta ‘ear ye do yesself down though, yer as gud as anyone.”
Hulan picked up her cloak and draped it over her arm and crossed the room to hug her father.  “I know Pa.  Now wish me luck, I’m away up to Ironforge ta meet yon fella.  ‘E said aboot eight o’clock an’ I’d rather be there in plenty o’ time.”
Thorden hugged Hulan hard, “Good luck to ye lassie.  I ‘ope tha fella gi’s ye a fair hearin’.”
Hulan threw the cloak around her shoulders, “Imma sure ‘e will.  Like I said, they’re a gud bunch o’ people…I’ve never ‘eard a bad word aboot any o’ them.  Now dinna fash yesself, I’ll come straight back an’ tell ye all aboot it.”

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.

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.
