WoW (Sargeras)Character Name Wurkk What is your class? Warrior What is your main spec? Prot Please link your WoW Armory information http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/sargeras/wurkk/advanced Explain your talent selection (theorycrafting source, specialization choices etc) I've based my talent selection on a pretty cookie cutter build I've seen around on ElitistJerks and Tankspot. The build I have has several variations. I chose to use Vigilance and Concussive Blow variation. Concussive Blow provides a decent damage skill along with a stun, mostly for trash, that can provide an extra interrupt for me. Using Vigilance on a raid member that is more geared than I can increase my tank ability because my refreshed Taunt will allow me to take the mob as quick as possible from the member being attacked. What is your age? 22 What are your current professions and their raid benefit My professions are Herbalism and Alchemy. I feel alchemy can provide toward raiding because I can create flasks and elixirs for the raid. Herbalism will only really benefit me and the healers, on a small scale to be totally honest. It can provide some help with tough healing situations. Using Lifeblood along with my Enraged Regeneration. How long you've been playing WoW and what PvE progression you've accomplished I've been playing WoW off and on for about 4 years. I only started raid progression in WoTLK. I raided up into ICC, Blood Prince Counsel is as far as I got. Describe how you theorycraft your class (websites, spreadsheets, etc) I use Tankspot and ElitistJerks to get my information. Specs, gemming, and threat theory crafting. I do a lot of reading and watching of tank PoV videos. Videos mostly consisting of boss encounters. Occupation and living arrangements that impact raiding (family, schedule, etc) I work 2pm to 10:30pm throughout the week. Conflicts only occur during the week however I play a lot still, just not raiding. List scheduling conflicts (include times for possible weekend 10mans) My schedules for weekends are open at all times unless an emergency happens and/or I schedule something previously. If any such thing happens I will notify the proper guild officer/leader of what is going on. Weekend raiding is why I applied. Guild History - where are you leaving and why I haven't been in any major guild on Sargeras. I joined a leveling guild for a while, cannot remember the name, and left because activity was extremely low. How did you hear about us? List any friends/references within the guild I saw an advertisement in trade chat while I was in Org. It said that XoO was looking for tanks/healers for weekend 10mans, 11am and later. List your raid consumables and your method for maximizing them Flask of Steelskin - 300 Stam Food Buffs Stam/Expertise Provide your raid damage/healing performance. Examples are Recount Screenshot with personal breakdown of attacks, WoW Web Stats (WWS), or World of Logs I don't have any. Willing to be put into a trial run or something similar. Provide a screenshot of your UI http://i54.tinypic.com/3509deh.jpg Can you take constructive criticism and being call out on mistakes (both in and out of raid)? Yes Final comments you feel could help your application I'm working on gear up as fast as I can. I know I'm under-geared for straight up raiding. I'm not a charity case and can pull my own. I will put out the effort needed by me to gear up as quick as possible. I learn quick, I watch boss fights, I keep up with my class when it comes to knowing whats what. I'm a very very competent raider and would most definitely be an asset to the guild if given some time to gear and the chance to show I can do it. I'm applying because Raiding on weekends is something I CAN do. I cannot raid during weeks and so when I saw Limes advertisement I immediately came here to apply. Have you applied to the WoW usergroup? Yes
What are you doing to maximize gearing ASAP (IE dailies/rep farm). Are you/what time would you be available after work (stated to end at 10:30PM). Please state timezone.
I have a few questions: Questions 1 and 2 do not imply that your current reforging priority is correct or incorrect. I am just interested in your answer. 1. Why are you reforging most of your parry (instead of dodge) into mastery when your Hold The Line talent gives you 10% crit and critical block on parries? 2. Why are you reforging hit and expertise into other stats? 3. Please explain which gems you will use for each socket (red, yellow, blue, and meta) and why.
I am home at 11pm the latest every night. I am West Coast (PST) of the USA. Right now I am doing Therezane dailies constantly while I'm grinding dungeons for Mount Hyjal rep. I plan on grinding rep until all of the factions I need tanking items/enchants from are acquired. i.e helm enchant from the Earthen Ring. @ Pala I have actually recently, within the last 48 hours, realized that most of my reforging has been reforged from the wrong stats. I was under the impression that Dodge was a better stat than Parry from some stuff I had been reading on Elitist Jerks. However after re-reading and combing the Tank Spot forums I can conclude that it was wrong to think so, Parry is a far superior stat to Dodge at this moment and I do plan on reforging. As for the Hit and Expertise. I chose to take the Block over the hit/exp because I haven't had an agro problems in the dungeons I have done so far. I have however come to find out Expertise is a stat i should be prioritizing until i hit Cap, over mastery/hit. I will be using these gems: Stam > Mastery > Parry > Dodge Red - Guardian's Demonseye (20 Expertise + 30 Stam) For the Expertise because Expertise turns into Threat. And the Stam because other than Mastery, Stam > Dodge/Parry. Yellow - Fractured Amberjewel (40Mastery) For the Mastery, obviously. Because mastery for prot warriors is such a great stat. Also with be throwing in some Puissant Dream Emerald (20Mastery + 30 Stam) for the Stam is provides, along with Mastery. Blue - Solid Ocean Sapphire (60 Stam) Straight up Stam is just, good. Its a better stat at the moment for us Warriors than Parry/Dodge. Meta - Eternal Shadowspirit Diamond (81 Stam + 5% Shield Block) I don't think this would need an explanation. 81 Stam and the Block value is just amazing.
You said you did ICC, but I don't see achievements on this character. Can you link a character of yours that holds true to that statement?
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/chogall/mahdeek/advanced This is my previous main toon. It was a gift to a friend when i first quit. If needed i can get you in vent with the fellow for proof. I played as Shadow Priest from the first time i could get Shadowform and fell in love with it. With the toon i only got up to Fester/Rotface and Putricide with a few attempts on the Blood Council. The Plagueworks Achievement is mine, the rest is my friends. I had to quit because of some IRL things that have since been taken care of. I then linked accounts with another friend of mine and rolled a rogue. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/archimonde/afterthought/advanced I THEN got really really really bored with my rogue because i wanted to tank. So then i linked with my brother, who is job corps at the moment, and he leveled a shaman while i leveled a warrior. =D I know most of thats not needed but i want ya'll to know who i am.
I'd like to give you a verbal interview but it seems we have clashing times. 11PM PST is my 2AM EST, and by that time I'm asleep. I am usually on from 5PM-12AM EST. Would there be anytime during the week you would be available at these times?
Not that i know of. Im on from about 10am PST to 1pm PST (before work) everyday. Uhm, other than that i don't know.
It is suppose to snow tomorrow tonight/tomorrow, so I may "work from home". Maybe I'll catch you then.
Tomorrow i actually might not be working anyways. So, yea tomorrow is sounding promising. =D Im on right now, for another 20minutes or so, but you're at work right?
