[DECLINED] Application - Posix - Disc/Holy Priest

Posix · 12-03-10, 06:51 PM

1. Age, sex, location, and a bit about yourself.
My name is Dan, I'm 18 years old and live near Cambridge in the UK. I currently work as a Web Developer for a small design firm which is a part of a larger company. We deal with many well known companies such as BAA and Disney.

2. Do you have have stable internet connection and good enough PC to not have major framerate problems in raids?
Yes, I currently have a 16/1Mbps internet connection and a high spec gaming PC to go with it.

3. Your main's name, race, class, primary spec and role, and a working armory link. Do you have any alts you play regularly?
My main character is a Disc [Holy off] Human Priest on the Darkmoon Faire RP realm. My armory link is http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...+Faire&n=Posix I also have a level 80 mage and a 80 warrior, along with every other class at level 60+ (excluding a warlock)

4. Contact information - what's the best way to contact you?
I am always checking my emails at daniel.samuels1@gmail.com, or I'm online in the evenings on my realm.

5. How active are you in game? What kind of raid attendance can we expect from you? Do you have any real life commitments that would regularly conflict with our raiding schedule and how often? (Sun-Fri, 8:30-0:00 server time)
I am on every day of the week, unless a special occasion is occuring in real-life - such as Mothers Day this Sunday. It is very rare that I am not on, I currently have 100% attendance in the last 120 raids in my current guild.

6. Is your character currently optimized for PvE raiding ? (this includes talents, gems, glyphs, enchants, etc.)
Yes, of course. My talents are different to the usual 'cookie-cutter' builds that most priests have due to a desire to have talents such as Power Infusion and Body and Soul, both of which are extremely useful in different situations. I was gemming just Spell Power, but it go to a point where it wasn't the most important stat and so I began gemming Intel and Haste. I'm usually 3.2k idle when buffed and go to around 3.8k with various procs such as the ICC ring. I am aware my helm and neck aren't as good as they could be, I'm 9 Frost away from the set helm, and I've lost a roll on the Saurfang 10 neck for two weeks in a row.

7. What raiding addons do you use? BONUS: Provide a screenshot of your UI if you're able to.
The main addons I use are DBM, Recount and Omen. Additional addons I use are Parrot, Shadow Unit Frames, Quartz and Healbot.
Two screenshots are:

Fester 25: http://i.imgur.com/hiRaO.jpg (Yes I realise I shouldn't be puking, but at the time I got the debuff I wasn't actually near anyone ><)

8. Post your keybinds (important ones).
I use Healbot, and have all my spells set up on there as follows:
LC: Renew, RC: Flash Heal, Ctrl+LC: Greater Heal, Ctrl+RC: Power Word: Shield, Button 4 (on mouse): Penance. I also have other utility spells bound to other keyboard+mouse combinations, but the above are the main ones.

9. What's your raiding experience in WoW ? Please include raiding experience in vanilla WoW (at level 60), in TBC (before 3.0 patch), and in WotLK.
I didn't play WoW before WotLK, I only joined on 6th May 2009. In WotLK though, I've cleared Naxx 10/25 (though not on this char), Ulduar 10/25 upto and including Vezax and I've done 9/12 10 ICC and 7/12 25 ICC. No heroic ICC yet sadly.

10. Post one or more links to logs (World of Logs or similar) from your recent raids.
We had 6-7 different raids on WoW Meter Online, but they had some sort of data failure and the actual data got removed, not overly helpful for my app, I'm aware, but I did manage to find one raid which had data!
http://www.wowmeteronline.com/combat...745#healingout
http://www.wowmeteronline.com/combat...743#healingout
http://www.wowmeteronline.com/combat...738#healingout
http://www.wowmeteronline.com/combat...737#healingout

You should be able to see the other fights in that raid as well as the above.

11. What are your previous guild(s)? Why did you leave? (refrain from posting any offensive comments here) Also, if you are server transfer, why did you leave your original server?
I have only been in two guilds on this character, the first of which - Validus - is a "we'll recruit anyone" sort of social guild. The one I am currently in - The Logical Cube - was great when I started, but they have been recruiting more people of late who aren't quite up to the standard of the guild and of true 25 man raiding, people standing in flames etc..
The server in general isn't great, mainly because it's an RP realm and I'm not really a fan of RP..

12. Did you read, understand, and agree with our Guild Information post? Prove that you read it.
Yes, of course.

13. Anything else you'd like to add.
I really like the look and progress of this guild, it would certainly be a nice change from the lack of commitment I've been seeing in my current guild. If you would like any more information, or to speak to me on Ventrilo, I am more than happy to do so. I will bookmark this page and check up on it regularly, additionally you are able to contact me with the email in question 4. I have also made a level 1 priest on your realm, which I can go onto if you wish to speak with me there.

Hi

Just a few things

Why does this not show on your achievments? You lack on ten man iron council, hodir, freya, mimiron, vezax and yogg, and on 25 man you lack everything from xt and up. Your lack of experience i would find a bit concerning. No hardmodes what so ever, except 4 in togc 10 man.

Over to your spec and gems. Why would you gem for haste as disc? You have Borrowed time every time you toss a shield, and you have PI. Imo you should go for sp/int or a combo of pure sp and int gems. Your holy spec i find a bit wierd. I am aware of that its you OS, but why in all world would you put 5 points into Divine Fury? If you did any theorycrafting, or reading in general you would know that Greater Heal is utterly useless. And that is a huge waste to use 5 points into a talent that only supports one spell, and one that you wouldnt even use. The 5 points in spellward is a way way more efficient choise. Same goes for Improved healing, completly useless and a big waste. I would even remove Divine fury from the disc tree and put it in spellward (but that could be discussed) and the renew points in healing focus.

Other than that, gl

Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Apologies for the misunderstanding on Ulduar, re-reading it myself, I didn't make it clear it was my other char which did the upto Vezax, it was on my warrior - http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-ac...e+Logical+Cube - which was my main for about 4-5 months or so.

The Haste gems are actually a recent change, I've been testing out a few little things after reading various threads on EJ and similar sites. PI I don't actually use very often on myself, my RL often asks me to put it on the lowest performing caster DPS to help boost them by 3-400 DPS.

The Holy spec was for the Dreamwalker fight when we had a severe lack of Paladin healers who were able to join us, therefore I put together a build which would enable me to cast GH as often as I could. I realise that it is a weak spell, it's certainly not my main choice in other fights.

As for the lack of hardmodes, I've been attempting to do them as much as possible, but have been faced with a challenging lack of desire from my fellow players who seem to feel they aren't geared enough to perform as well as they should be.

Edit: Just to note, I've made some of the changes you mentioned.

wait....u use PI on the WORST dps?

>.>

Posix · 13-03-10, 07:09 PM

Yeah, it was a choice made by the officers of the guild, they believed that the top DPSers were doing enough DPS already and that they wanted to reduce the range of DPS that was being done. In a way I see their point, but I also feel that the people doing that less DPS should be trying a little harder to improve their essential skills, and that a temporary boost is not enough to sustain an acceptable level of DPS.

Of course I have used it on the highest DPS as well, it's not a case of looking at DPS meters, choosing the lowest caster and sticking it on them. For example, on the Blood Princes Queen, a bitten caster with PI can pull off some quite nice damage.

I'm not sure most people in my current guild really understand what it does though, I've only ever had a handful of people ask me to use it explicitly on them.

I'm afraid we can't offer you a trial at this time
Good luck finding suitable guild though.
