Yeah don’t get excited. This is about alts.
I currently have two toons that are raid-viable for Karazhan: Jessika the protection warrior and Aksana the frost mage. Muriel is my priest, currently shadow at level 67 to level but will respec to holy/healing at 70. Jessika is still very much my main but my Aksana has seen quite a bit of action in Karazhan and heroics. I suspect Muriel will too when she hits 70 since we are often short healers. There are advantages and disadvantages to having more than one toon that are at about the same gear level, particularly when those toons can fulfill different rolls in a party/raid. The flexibility is an advantage. I can fill more than one kind of slot in a party/raid (i.e., tank, dps, or healer) depending on what is needed. This is an advantage for me as a person, since I can better help a party/raid and attend more runs than someone with only one viable toon. But this is a disadvantage for my toons because the badges I have earned are spread out between different toons. While Jessika and Aksana together currently have maybe 150 badges, neither of them alone has enough to purchase a decent upgrade. I think maybe my toons are mad at me.
Had me all excited for a sec. LOL. Anywho the problem with altaholics is they never reach their full potential with one toon really. Sure I had 5 level 70’s but I was a little bit jealous at the other tanks cause they had ridiculous good gear. I know I would use the balm skill>gear. But sometimes I wondered where gear wise my tank would be if I just concentrated on my warrior.
Just be glad one of your alts isn’t a hybrid. With my shaman I’m spending time and money beefing out both resto and enhancement gear. I’m healing for the guild right now, but my heart still lies with melee dps.
I agreed with you
