20130320, mercredi, first day of spring

A. Shuffling.

1. I deleted some characters that I decided not to develop further in the guild's realm: 18Kronostpanda (panda Brewmaster monk), 30Kronosnetank (Night Elf Brewmaster), 39Xronospriest (human holy priest), and 51Kronoshunter, which I had dropped from the guild months ago.  I decided not to pursue tanking via the Brewmaster monk route, and had changed 90Kronospriest from Shadow to Holy, making the level 39 an unneeded duplicate.
2. I dropped my 85Chronosmage from the guild since I am no longer developing the character, and it was yet another LW/Skinner.  Eliminating a level 85 seems painful, but I'll eventually delete that one too. The guild already has an exceptionally good level 90 mage, and 90Kronospriest is 600/600 in LW/Skinning.
3. I've been moving the level 88 balance druid slowly toward level 89.  I have no interest in this character as far as dungeons or raids are concerned, but it does have 600/600 in Enchanting/Tailoring.
4. As a further slimming, my next target will be 90Chronosmonk.  This character is a Windwalker, which I do not find interesting after all, and another LW/Skinning duplicate.  I may collect armour for a Windwalker alt/spec for 90Chronosmwone, whose primary spec is Mistweaver.

B. Current armour levels:

1. 90Chronosmwone: average iLevel 488 Mistweaver
2. 90Chronoslock: average iLevel 481  Affliction Warlock, PvE; this might sometimes come up with the 475 Season 13 PvP armour.
3. 90Kronospriest: average iLevel 475 Holy Priest; I've changed the alt spec from Shadow to Discipline for LFR healer experiments.
4. 90Chronosmonk: average iLevel 462 Windwalker Monk
5. 90Chronoslycan: average iLevel 447 Frost Death Knight
6. 88Chronosdruid: average iLevel 423 Balance Druid

C. Plans.

1. Mistweaver---I'll likely keep this one, just so I have one character with the armour to play in each LFR that Blizzard offers in WoW.  Now that I've converted the character from panda to human, it is less repellent.
2. Affliction Warlock---shows some real promise in PvE, but none in PvP.  Also, this one has a 600 rating in Engineering.
3. Healer Priest---I would like to see whether this character can catch up (or surpass) the Mistweaver.  Has 600/600 in LW/Skinning, another plus.
4. Windwalker---I enjoyed this character very much until I hit the MoP content.  Now I don't see the point.  I could insert my Windwalker learning into an alt spec for the Mistweaver.  The crafting abilities of this character are duplicates, so there would be no loss from deleting it.
5. Frost Death Knight---this was my lead character until MoP.  I don't like DKs in MoP, and the thought of running my DK through the 9 MoP Heroic dungeons multiple times nauseates me.  The professions for this character are 600/600 Herbalism/Inscription, but the Mistweaver has this as well.  So, I might drop this one, since there would be no real losses involved.
6. Balance Druid---this is a crafting character pure and simple.  I will probably keep it for the crafting, but for no other reason.

D. Longer range, through later expansions.

1. I'll probably keep numbers 1, 2, 3, and 6 in Part C above.
2. Unless I regain my enjoyment of melee, I'll drop 4, and 5.
