If you're a hunter farming herbs and ore in northern Highmountain (watch Faid's great video on this technique) you may find yourself casting your Water Strider pet's Surface Trot ability a lot. (This ability allows you to walk on water.)

Unfortunately Surface Trot can't be cast while you are on your mount. The macro I wrote below does two things: If you are mounted it dismounts you and it casts Surface Trot.

(While you can't drag hunter pet abilities to your bar you can write them into macros.)

The macro:

/dismount [mounted]
/cast Surface Trot

Now if you're a bit to antsy (like I often am) to get to the next node and you mount before you need to cast Surface Tror this macro will dismount you and cast the spell.

It's a little quality-of-life thing but if you're casting Surface Trot a lot it helps.

As you may have read in my previous post (Can You Make Gold At Low Levels? My Results From Level 1-49) I've been leveling a Warrior from level 1 to 60 in as close a "Vanilla" style as possible. Today I finally finished leveling her to 60 and I wanted to share a few additional thoughts on the process.
