A Main? What is a "Main Toon"?

...Ah, every blog I read, every forum I visit, the general rule of thumb somehow revolves around a character or a "toon" most people refer to as their "Main". The toon that gets ALL the attention, orbs, saronites and BiS (Best-in-Slot) items.

This is even more so amplified when you stand around in Dalaran and inspect the Uber, Leet characters roaming around the bank steps. With my GearScore addon, I hover over these toons and see nothing but Dark Red numbers (which typically means they are at least 5300+ scores and the highest i've inspected at 6100+) which makes me kinda sorta jealous.

I think to myself, wow, I am really running behind on gear item levels since my highest character probably only has about 5200+ score per my add-on. On some rare occasions that I actually get to run a raid with one of these Leet toons, they always seem to talk about how this is their only toon since they started or this is their "MAIN" character. Perhaps this is what makes me very different from these "main" toons. I may not have an UBER, LEET geared character, but between my Druid, Paladin, Mage, Hunter, Shaman, Warrior, Rogue and Death Knight which are all level 80 with decent gear, how do I pick a "MAIN" character to kill the Lich King?

I enjoy raiding with all of them, I love that I get to experience the strenghts and weaknesses on each of them and when I feel like playing a different role, I just get on one that floats my boat. I think thats the reason I am such the Altoholic, is that I believe that all these toons are my "Mains", they all deserve the attention I give them and the play time I spend on them. Will this attitude hinder me from obtaining a Lich King kill before Cataclysm? Should I focus on ONE character to play and "uberfy" (made that word up just now btw)? How do I even pick one?. . .

MOAR new members to the family! 2 more to go...

Been such a looong time to update which matters very little since I'm the only one reading this blog anyway.

New Additions are Alliance. WOOT!

Mikaehl - My old raiding Hunter is back with his best friend/companion Chops!
Mykaehl - My "First" toon to ever ding 60 - 70 and now finally 80.

Just 2 more to go . Can't wait to get working on the Warlock and the Priest. Maybe I get to heal one of these days? Hmmmmmm.

Woohoo.. A new member of the 80 Family!

Welcome Steempy to the arsenal of max level toons.

He leveled as Enhancement for an easier time and completed Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord, Zul'Drak and half of Dragonblight.

He leveled with 4 pieces of BoA gear that included 2 Maces, Shoulders and Chest piece for that extra 20% XP bonus. At 68, I bought him a BoA tome of cold flying and sent him off to Northrend 5 mins after he dinged.

DING! Level 80 early this morning and sent him off to Orgrimar for some training which btw cost upwards of 300Gs and 1000G for Dual Spec.

Happy Days...Next up, The Hunter (Level 63 atm)

Bah, It's now July and barely an Update..Boring o.O

Beenk: Mage

This Mage is finally doing something worthwhile as far as DPS is concerned. Finally got T7 4pc Bonus and rockin steady 3K dps. Also unlearned Skinning and did Inscription from 1-420+ in one night and around 500Gold.

Zubeenk: Druid

Aside from funding Beenk with all the flowers to level Inscription and make Darkmoon cards for Iobi's Greatness Deck, all I really upgraded was my Offhand to the Surplus Limb from 25 Patch and some more Kitty/Bear gear. He is mostly Kitty spec now rather than bear.

Krozragal: Deathknight

Hurraaayy..Mr Pinchy finally dropped and a magical crawdad on my first wish.. One of these Sunday's I WILL win that fishing tourney in STV.

Iobi : Paladin

More DPS gear acquired and some really nice tanking pieces as well. OT for most of Ulduar 10 and 25 up to Freya, still working on Thorim's Arena and Mim's Lasers.

MsBehave: Rogue

Woot, a new addition to the Family. Fun toon to play for sure and slowly getting some gear. She usually ends up on really crappy Naxx 10 pugs...Oh Well.

MOAR Lasor Chicken gear and then some..

This weekend's raiding was seriously FUN and did I mention that the Chicken is now a proud member of the 4K DPS Club (if there is such a thing).

With all the fine loot I got last week from the loot pinata that we all know as Naxxramas , I tested my new 4Piece Tier 7 gear on Patchwerk 10Man and to my surprise was able to end that fight at a whopping 4300+ DPS with a Bloodlust at the end and missing the 3 min timer by 12 seconds../sigh.

We went on to do 10 Man Arch, and downed the new Boss Emalon in 2 tries. Wow, what a gruesome fight that guy is but nontheless we got it done. Hurray!

Did a full clear of Naxx 25 with a pug group and cleared it in just over 6 hours. Managed to pick up Esteemed Bindings , Gloves of the Dancing Bear and another T7.5 Shoulders (for my Feral Set of course).

Also pugged a Maly 25 run and cleared it on the 2nd Try and with this fight I was able to manage 5200Dps with Double sparks.

Fun times for sure.
