It's not really that I miss anything in specific. It's just that my fingers
have better muscle memory than my brain can remember :-) Last night I
repeatedly found myself pressing "7" which used to be my one "hard hitting"
attack but which is currently unassigned because I can only really fill 2-6
and 8 with attacks (and 8 has always been multishot ever since I first got
it, so there is no way it will move anywhere else :-)

Oh well, I've hotkeyed pet heal now and have become quite good at
remembering pressing it every once in a while.

I don't think I'll bother just for the level. I've finished all the normal
quests (and a first batch of dailies) I could get on Thunder Isle and that
was fun, but I won't start grinding in 7 days, rather I'll just have a look
around a bit more.

Haven't gotten that quest yet. I'll give that I go just to see the place and
see what the quests are like.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Some of the quest bosses on Thunder Isle
hurt, too :-)

So far I am. On the other hand, it's still clear that to really enjoy myself
I would need to immerse myself fully and give the completionist in me free
rein. That is not an option, so I'll just have a look around and enjoy the
short stint.

Cheers
