A bit of introduction to my current toons is in order. As I've said, I don't have a main, nor do I see a need to identify a main with my playstyle. If I were raiding or trying to max out a particular character that would be one thing, but I really enjoy characters at different levels, even more so now that you can gain experience with battlegrounds or level using the LFG tool introduced in patch 3.3.
Nyeth, Level 27 Night Elf Druid -- Nyeth is my youngest character, but not my first Druid. I had a max level druid in BC, but he's currently abandoned on another server. I picked him up at level 20 again to use in the LFG tool so I could visit some of the classic dungeons at the appropriate level. He's currently spec'd with feral talents, but I use him as a healer in groups. I will shortly probably adjust this to pick up some balance talents which would facilitate healing better, but I don't think the resto tree provides a lot until you get to around level 36, so I've stayed away from it, even though healing is his role. Feral provides me utility in battlegrounds and makes things easy when filling time with quests.
Zuuhl, Level 60 Troll Priest -- What a class/race combination. I love the priest class but hate leveling casters, priests especially. I think it's the sound wands make. Priests don't have generic CC or any long range spells that slow down movements like mages do. If whatever you're fighting has resistance to shadow magic it's rough. It gets easier as you gain levels, but is just painful early on.
I started Zuuhl for a little break from the alliance side, and to give leveling through battlegrounds a shot. It has been a lot of fun. A healer in a battleground can really change the balance, and priests are pretty good at flag running in WSG, and in Arathi Basin mind control at the lumber mill is so much fun. Zuuhl would be dual spec, but as he's my only horde character he is very poor. I didn't feel like dual gathering with him, so I didn't even try to make money. He's a tailor/herbalist and while he's got his flying mount he needs to earn a bit more before I can buy the dual spec.
I'm probably going to level him up to 80 horde side then faction transfer him over to alliance. I'm thinking gnome priest in cataclysm.
Radwen, Level 80 Draenei Shaman -- Radwen is the namesake of my first character I leveled past 20, he was a Tauren Shaman. I love the different aspects of the shaman class, it's one of the most enjoyable classes for me to play. He is currently spec'd as elemental and resto. He's basically a fresh 80, other than some crafted gear he's in quest rewards. I leveled him the old fashioned way, by questing.
I'm thinking of pulling him out to do some dungeons using the LFG tool. I've only healed in battlegrounds with him, but am pretty comfortable with the riptide/LHW/LHW single target rotation. We will see how it goes, it could be an epic fail, but have found that I'm pretty capable at healing, I haven't had a complaint yet with any other character, so it's time to try out shaman healing a bit.
Aselvar, Level 80 Dwarf Hunter -- Aselvar is my first alliance character. He has been shelved for a while, because I lost interest in him after getting him to 80, grinding Hodir rep on him and searching for spirit beasts which I can never find. He's done a handful of heroics, and at some point I think I'll dust him off, but right now I'm in more of a healing mood than a pew-pew mood. I love him for the occasion when I need to farm something, and he's my only high level cook, so he's kinda in a support role.
