For those interested here are my more highly played WoW characters.

Alliance:

Tesandra:
Armory: [Here]
Level: 80
Main: Holy sub Discipline
Alternate: Discipline

Tes is my healer character.
There is a lot of debate over what is the hardest role to play in WoW (and other MMO’s as well).
I place that role squarely on the Healer, especially in WoW.
All other roles in WoW allow you to do your job even with subpar party members while a Healer’s job is directly related to the performance of the other party members.
Now that’s not saying if you have a subpar party that your job doesn’t get harder but the class that has the most challenge due to a subpar party is a Healer.
If your party doesn’t follow normal procedure, please slap them into a semblance of order as ‘subpar’ performance is not ‘willfully causing problems’.

Tes is generally a calm character even while I’m seething in the background. She is always professional and will stick through an event until the end except under the most extreme circumstances. Just don’t expect her to run anything else after a raid.

Eleth:
Armory: [Here]
Level: 67
Main: Unholy DPS
Alternate: Blood Tank

Eleth is my beloved melee dps.
First of all she is a gnome and, as all my friends know, my gnomes all must speak in the third person. I find it to be quite amusing.
I enjoy the micromanagement of death knight mechanics that allow me to push my dps as hard as I can.
I’ve got her alternate speced for Tanking focusing on longevity via Blood. Not much tank gear yet.

Eleth is generally happy to help out if you ask her nicely and don’t make get mad at her for her speaking habbits.

Alindreia:
Armory: [here]
Level: 66+
Main: Beastmaster
Alternate: Survival

Ali is my ranged dps. She’s leveling for some PvP and maybe some money making for my characters in general.
I enjoy playing her as, even at a low level, I can pass through content easily and still have a lot of control over the situation via traps.

I’ve tried out survival as my alternate spec and just can’t push DPS as much as my beast master spec.

So far in outlands when I’m PuG’ing dungeons, I’m topping DPS every time as Beast Master even on the several occasions where I have my pet MT’ing as well.

Her pets are named after friend’s characters. Tank pet is a bear, DPS is a cat. Dual stealthing for pvp should be quite fun.

Ali follows my theme of being helpful. She is much closer to my old rogue characters in personality, however.
She is a little cold of a personality and will try to do things as efficiently as possible. If you’re asking for help, be specific and be ready to roll on out immediately.

She also inherits my old rogue’s need to push beyond normal boundaries. For her, it’s having her pet be able to actually act as a tank. With the 3.2 incoming resilience factoring over to pets, I’m hoping to see this increase as I move to Northrend and get PvP gear.

Kaeleh:
Armory: [here]
Level: 37+
Main: Moonkin (Balance)
Alternate: None

Kaeleh is my druid. I’m leveling one for a few reasons.

First, one of my friends thinks I should roll a Druid with him. Second, I want to get a feel for the Druid healing style differences from Priest healing. I haven’t tried it since shortly after the BC launch. Third, I’m psyched on the 3.2 feral form models.

I’m planning to roll Feral once my RaF caps out at 60.

Horde:

Maurek:
Armory: [here]
Level: 62
Main: Moonkin (Balance)
Alternate: None

Leveled Maurek to roll Balance / Restoration dual specs eventually.

Primarily did so because a friend got tired of healing on her priest so I thought I’d roll Horde there and help out. She got back into healing before I got too far in.

Haven’t played Maurek much after my RaF capped at 60. Just burn out from pushing so hard on two characters at once.
RaF is awesome leveling but is rough as you close on the cap as your gear is normally awful by then.

Aterproc:
Armory: [here]
Level: 60
Main: Unholy DPS
Alternate: None

Rolled Aterproc to try to keep interest in playing on Velen.

I find it really hard to keep interest in Outlands so it didn’t work out too well.

Current (as of posting) thoughts:

I’m running way too many alts.
Haven’t touched my priest for end game play for awhile.
Had some harsh raids, burned 36 or so Heroics to gear my Hunter alt with BoA’s (and still didn’t get the trinket for her), so I’m a bit burnt at end game.

Leveling my hunter and druid at the moment.
Looking forward to the hunter at end game. I’m thinking I might be able to run some crazy stuff with just my pet and I (Northrend instances, maybe even the easier heroics if I get some astounding gear).

Druid is doing alright but I may have her idle at some level for awhile as I haven’t figured out what I want to do with her at level cap.
I’d just like her close enough that if I get inspired or if my friend wants to run around with me abit, I’m close enough to burn most of the way there quickly.

Got several friends I’d like to run something with some time but I need proper level characters on their servers to do so.
Will & Jayme are on Velen (thus those Hordies), just can’t seem to get the focus to burn up levels on my characters there.
Roguekitty and Sdwrage are on Spinebreaker (Pretty sure they both play) but I have nothing there yet.

Wish I could build a character on a server where I have some established characters to help get leveled, then move the character to the appropriate server. Sadly, my main server is all Alliance and my friends elsewhere play Horde devotedly.
Faction swapping may help this but it’ll probably cost me $50 to faction swap and then server swap and they may restrict server swapping directly after swapping factions. That would be 3 months wait to play with some friends.

Really, Bliz, how about letting us effectively level up/down to play with friends?
I know you want us to level all quick to 80 and such but it’s still a frustrating amount of time!

.. err.. well those are my thoughts for now.

Feel free to drop me a line if you’re on my server.
