Character Name - Level - Race: Boston -- 80 -- Draenei
Desired Raiding Spec: Restoration.
Can You Make Our Raid Times: Yes, I can.
Armory Link: www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonblight&n=Boston
Previous Guild(s) and reason for leaving: My previous guild was Rififi. I left because of an emo rage. Also, felt like I was disrespected by a dude in the guild and didn't like it. That sort of contributed to said emo rage.
Reason for your interest in Rififi: It's a good guild with good players and fun attitudes. Sometimes they make my head spin, but in the end it's all good and about having fun and killing some fucking bosses. I understand Rififi is a growing guild and I would like to do my part to help the guild grow. I mean... I'm probably still going to be emo, but that's just who I am. I grew up in Seattle, guys....
1) Discuss the effort you've made in acquiring reputation with factions in Wrath of the Lich King, including the Sons of Hodir.
Exalted with most everything, though only Revered with the Knights of the Ebon Blade. I don't like them, but I did what I could to have the head enchant for my Enhancement set, should I ever have one. I'll probably finish grinding their rep through quests for the money and green/blue items to disenchant. As far as the Sons go, I'm exalted. The other most important rep faction for me was the Kirin Tor for the +crit head enchant, and I'm exalted with them as well.
2) Our Raid Leader doesn't talk in vent. Ever. In our opinion this does not lead to a lack of communication and we feel like he's by far the best player in the guild for this particular task, and therefore we express no discontent. Will reading raid strategies rather than hearing on vent them frustrate you and leave you with any sort of hostile feelings towards the guild in general?
Above I said I'm emo, but nothing like this would contribute to an uncontrollable head-spinning rage. In fact, I rather like it when shit is quiet and I can listen to Miles Davis while owning a boss's head.
3) Please describe your DPS rotation, general Healing Theory, or tanking stratagem. For whichever applies, discuss your glyphs and how they benefit you.
My general healing theory (which will basically change in 3.2) is to have Tidal Waves active for as long as possible so that I have the awesome amount of haste it provides for Lesser Healing Wave spam. Another aspect of my theory is to stack as much +crit as I can (31.5% unbuffed currently) because of the overwhelming advantage it provides to mana return when compared to Mp5 gearing. I LHW spam when tank healing or raid healing, however, for a thing like Grips during Kologarn or right after a Jet Stream from Ignis I use Chain Heal (which also gives me the Tidal Waves buff). I glyph into Chain Heal (heals one extra target -- a fourth), Lesser Healing Wave (increases the amount of healing done to a target who has my Earth Shield), and Water Mastery (for 30% more passive mana regen from Water Shield). These glyphs provide all the necessary advantages for a Resto Shaman. The Chain Heal one is the only "controversial" one I use, but the reason I do is because of its advantage over Glyph of Earth Shield (increases healing done by Earth Shield by 20%) due to Ulduar having many situations where a Chain Heal is necessary. I find even when I'm tank healing that I still have plenty of time to help clean up the AoE damage bosses dish out to the raid.
4) We hold some players' Dual-Spec in higher regard than others. Do you have dual-spec? What is it, and will you be pissed if we give another player off-set gear over you based on a stronger likelihood of his or her raiding as that spec to suit the guild's need for a specific encounter? Are you willing and capable of being a player with a "useful" secondary raiding spec?
I have dual-spec, it's Enhance and I don't even know if it's correct. If you don't consider me for dual-spec gear, that's fine. I will go Enhance if needed, but as a forwarning I do not currently have a full Enhance-set. I am working on it though.
5) What is the most difficult encounter you've dealt with in the current patch? Why did you choose this one and how did you handle it?
The boss called GM. I popped Earth Shield and Riptide on myself and it crit me for 42k. Fucking shitty. It's the kind of thing that wanna make a nigga go and emo rage!
6) Do you have any references on the Dragonblight server? Who?
Laesierah, she's pretty hot. Heavensjust is like my best friend, so.... ask them.
7) If you bitch about not getting loot we probably will just not really consider you for gear. Similarly, if you don't get the best enchants/gems on the loot we do give you, we'll probably not give you any more until no one else needs the items. Are you still interested in Rififi?
Yarp.
8) What in your preferred raiding spec will benefit the raid? Answer this however you see appropriate.
I just really have to go back to work right now and don't have the time for this kind of question. I'm leet, good enough?
9) Are you a Ret Paladin who either is retarded or has Buiden listed as a reference?
Narp.
10) Seriously, our Raid Leader doesn't' talk on vent and our GM often jokes about being a homosexual (no one is sure if he's kidding). If you join, are you going to make fun of them?
D!staine is a homosexual?
