Healer Macro

This macro tests if you have a friendly player selected. If yes, it casts the heal on that player, and sends a party chat message that it is casting. If a friendly player is not selected (nothing is selected or a mob is selected) then it casts the heal on yourself and sends no message. After the cast is initiated, it re-selects the previously selected enemy (if any.)

/script if(UnitName("target")~=nil and
UnitIsFriend("player","target"))then
CastSpellByName("Healing Wave(Rank 9)")
SendChatMessage("Healing %T","Party")else
TargetUnit("player")CastSpellByName("Healing
Wave(Rank 9)")TargetLastEnemy();end

There is a space at the end of the last word "and" in the first line, after "then" in the second line, after "else" in the fourth line, and after "Healing" in the fifth line. Blizzard limits macros to 255 characters, so I have eliminated spaces that would normally exist but do not impact functionality of the macro. Do not insert any character returns in this macro. Note that the command "end" is case sensitive.

Big thanx to Muppet for giving me his code to work from.

Irony

Look closer.

Oh... Oh My!

A weapon to dream of, Gutgore Ripper would give most 2h weapons a run for it's money.

New Suc...

Dig the hairy tail? I don't. She looks more badass but less sexy (in the the S&M sort of way).

New Patch!

The PvP honor system is now in place!! Get the patch here if your download speed makes you sob like a little girl.

Looting Method

A group I was with last night used a new (to me at least) NBG looting method, and I thought I'd share it with y'all. It works like this:

Loot Style is set to Groop Loot.

When the game prompts you to roll on an item, everyone says either "N," "G," or "pass" where N and G stand for Need or Greed.

If everyone types "G" then the entire group hits the roll button, and you use the in-game distribution system.

If everyone types "N" then you proceed the same as with "G."

If there is a mixture, then only the people who typed "N" roll, and everyone who typed "G" ducks out.

This way the process is streamlined a bit. There is no need for multiple rolls and the in-game distribution system gets utilized so the winner doesn't have to run back to the corpse to claim their prize.

On the end level boss, everyone passed initially so a little more thought could go into the distribution of the loot, which were mostly greeds.

DM Runs

Hey all. DM (Dire Maul) is a relatively new level 58-60 five-char instance in Feralas. It is divided into West, North, and East wings. The North wing is particularly interesting because of a little easter egg where if you leave all the high level bosses alive, they will offer you a "tribute" at the end of very nice blue items. Errol (a Fabled shammy) and I have run the North wing seven times together, and a little more seperately trying desperately to get a particular shield that drops off of the King's sidekick, Cho'Rush the Observer. It's called Observer's Shield. Given that Thottbot lists it at a 24% chance to drop, and I've been through over seven times, it's becomming more and more unlikely that it won't drop for me soon. (What's the actual math on this, Will?) At any rate, I need help, so if anyone has free time please let me know. Thx!

Edit: Make that 9 runs.

Phat Lewts

Picked up the Vest of Elements in UBRS last night. Yay!

real life elite mob

Got this email today.
--------------------------

The fellow in the pictures is Larry Earley, He lives about 30 miles from Orlando, in the very rural community of Okahumpka, just off the Florida turnpike in Lake County, Florida. He has 20 acres of land and on it, a few cows and horses. Mostly it's pasture land that is fenced with woods surrounding him. He is neighbored by a larger cattle ranch.

His neighbor has complained for several years that wild hogs had been raiding his cattle feeders and salt licks. Last month he saw what he thought was a cow in his pond and went to see if it was stuck in the mud and would have to be pulled out. When he got close enough to realize it was hog, the thing made a charge at him. He had driven his truck down to the pond and carries a pistol in it (as any Florida redneck would, and I say that with genuine affection). He got his handgun and when it came at him again, he shot it twice and killed it.

Wild hogs in Florida usually run from 100-400 pounds with a 400 pounder being a monster. Because this one had been feasting on grain for several years it had grown to mamoth size. When Larry took it to the processor it weighed in at over 1100 pounds! The meat has no wild taste, as it was grain feed and the Larry is quite the hero. He has fed may fireman and provided the homeless shelter in downtown Orlando with a couple of meals.
