Guild Information:

• Previous Guild Name(s): Stay Classy Azeroth
• Reason(s) for leaving: Disband due to extremely small server pop, stuck on progression, no new recruits. Very solid guild, but we just couldn't get our 25 best on at the same time.
• Reason for joining DMT: Want to enjoy the game with serious raiders that have a set schedule and play to highest standards.

Character Information:

• Gear / Talent Specialization (Armory Link): WH 3220 GS, Feral- can go boomkin if needed, but really prefer feral. My gear is sick for both and I pull big numbers in both, but feral is way more challenging.

Other: My enchants and gems will look a little odd for now. Since my guild fell apart, and it is absolutely impossible to raid on Balnazzar unless you are in a guild (we were #1 in 25s and 10s for the last 3 months or so) I am playing around with armor pen while tanking. Kind of funny pulling 12k dps as a tank (AoE of course).

• Play Times (Days/Times of the week. NOT your /played.): Available 6:00 PST till late
• Are you willing to respec for the guild?: Yes
• Do you have friends in the guild?: No
• Raiding Reputations (Helmet/Shoulder Enchants, Rings): Yes
• Current Primary Professions: Enchant/Alchemy
• Do you farm anything? (Gear, Reputation, Materials, Gold...): Fish Feasts
• Do you have a WWS/WoL/WMO link?: no
• Why should we pick you?: I've always been good at these type games. I have absolutely mastered the druid. My gear for all 4 specs that a druid can play is 251 and up, mostly 264 for feral. I love to have fun and crack jokes non-stop. I can be pretty offensive, but I can keep my mouth shut if need be. You'll laugh at me in vent, my accent is pretty thick (from the south, even people in Texas laugh).
• Anything else you would like to tell us?: What I am looking for in a guild is consistency. I'd love to know that if we have a raid set for a certain time, we are all on and ready to go 10 to 15 mins early. I've led raids for the last year, and I am looking forward to just sitting back and blowing stuff up. I am in chiropractor school, so there will be times I have tons of exams. But for the most part I can schedule my studies around raids, especially if we have a set raid schedule, which it appears you do.
• Have you read and understood the following?: All applicants are required to have proper gems / spec / enchants / glyphs / professions for a PvE environment. (i.e. Best in slot everything.) If you do not meet this minimum requirement we will say mean things to you: As a bear I am straight stamina gems and chants with some 10agi/15stam gems thrown in here or there. My chants are stam or agility. That will not show now due to me playing around in heroics. When raiding I sit at 67k hp (before the 5% buff they just gave us in ICC). I have started playing around with cat dps recently. Depending on the mechanic, I pull from 9k to 11k dps. Was a little over 10k on festergut. Still new to it, so I am sure I'll get better.

I was a pretty popular guy on Balnazzar, and I will have a few people that may want to follow me wherever I go. There are 2 enhance shammies, both with Black Bruise, and a Demo Lock that is straight up insane. He went demo for the raid, but is an even sicker destro. He has amazing trinkets and gear. And was one of the most dependable guys in my guild. Along with those there is a ele/resto shammy and a arcane mage that may come with the package. Oh, and another hunter along with Malgior.

I am broke as hell in real life, but if I can play this game and end game raid...well, the money spent to xfer will be well worth it.

Wtf I'm from Texas and I don't have an accent....??! But I do want to hear.

I'm sure Trihugger will be excited to see a decent feral app. Wait for his input later today (Wednesday) and be ready to log out in DPS gear.

Why are you in half tank and half dps gear and why is this not the first time I've seen it on an app?

^ Flem.

You should log out in a full set of one or the other for now so they can get a better picture of how your gear is.

Lets see the full DPS set.

noose before 4 piece...

[drood]

ap on boots should be agi, pretty sure triumph ring is better than kirin tor ring, your about 60 arp over the GT soft cap... You can afford to regem to some straight agi.. ur a bit over hit cap.. arp/stam gem in your chest just for socket bonus ? 10agi 10crits could be 10haste instead.. ur crit is pretty high.. about 1 percent under me..

Spec isn't too bad.. I see you topped off FI and FA instead of imp mangle.. I guess that's a preference but I'd go with imp mangle and either keep your aoe full and just go 2/5 FA or just no aoe at all.. All in all pretty solid, trinkets are your biggest short coming.. Good luck on your app, Tri will be by soon I'm sure

Noose before 4 piece, yeap. Noose is BiS before heroic 25 icc. The legs drop in VoA, i was being patient. For ArP, the soft cap with GT is 788, I am at 815 with hearty rhino, gem'd before I thought about food. I'll pick up mangle if I have to, but used to having an arms warrior in the raid, so no need. And with the change to mangle in the patch (it will last 60 seconds) there will never be a need for improved mangle.

I've always tanked. Always. I had 264 chest and legs, that were tiding me over allowing me to wait until they dropped in VoA. And since I've always tanked, I've only rolled off spec on dps trinkets.

As for the haste over crit, I didn't see that anywhere in EJ. They had haste as bottom of the totem poll for ferals. Was gunning for crit cap on FB, which is 79.8%.

I'm up for more advice thouhg. I'm hit capped (too much, stupid trinkets), expertise capped (too much again, but its all gear), slightly over soft ArP cap, and almost to crit cap for FB. Not sure what else I can do.

Expertise Dodge-Cap vs lvl 83 targets and with Primal Precision: 16 Expertise = 131.16 Expertise Rating...

You need to get to 26 expertise actually... Also your armory is showing you at 842 arp... I understand about the noose, but your 4 piece will give you a 4-5 percent boost in dps, providing your rotation is strong..

Haste is a personal preferance of mine... melee is your top damage done ability in your rotation, the more haste the more melee in my opinion..

All in All not bad at all... It would be very helpful if you could take a SS or find a log showing what kind of numbers u pull.. Good luck

Not sure what it is showing me logged out in. I am at 37 expertise and have my 4t10. And 815 ArP with the 40 from Hearty Rhino.
