  1. 1. Alphaamale, Druid, Tank

    2. Armory Link: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Sargeras&cn=Alphaamale&gn=Dèáth+Nøtê (explain talent choices here in needed): I selected these talents for pve tanking. These talents maximize the amount of damage I can mitigate while holding threat.

    3. List raid helpful professions: Max Alchemy. Max Herbalism

    4. Time playing WoW and PvE progression: 7pm-1am EST. toc10/25 cleared. 10/25 ulduar cleared. 10 toGc Beasts and Jarax dead.

    5. PvP influences and impact on raiding: I have full furious set that is max gemmed and enchant with a feral cat pvp spec. Pvping keeps my reflexes fast and game play sharp.

    7. I'm a college student so exams and Finals week I will be more busy.

    8. I am in death note b/c I am a WoW friend with the guild leader but I choose to leave because I am able to play at cutting edge content by making my own pugs. It would be nice to be in a guild so i dont have to explain each fight or inspect people.

    10. List consumables you bring to raid: I bring Flasks- Stoneblood, Frost wyrm, pure mojo, and endless rage.

    how much armor do you have? i guess in bear form but unbuffed to match your health/dodge listing. also, how signifigant is the "bear block" thing that a crit allows? is it a trivial reduction for anything but waves of adds or does it actually help out on real bosses?


    also do you have an alternate pve gear set or spec for when you aren't needed to tank? our looking for a tank was part of our desire was to allow a very high dps feral druid to focus more on dps gear but still be capable of helping with tanking hence our Low demand for a druid tank but high demand for other kinds of druids.


    also, what is your threat output? i recall a vault with you where threat was a sizeable issue on koralon. and it's appriciated when applicants log out in pve gear else linking armory becomes rather pointless

    I've ran togc with him as well as toc25. I've never seen an issue where he can't hold aggro. He knows what he has to do and steps up on vent to lead in situations when needed.

    Need to get those 2 enchants.

    Also, since we are looking for a feral tank/dps hybrid, wouldn't mind seeing some dps numbers. anyway you could hit up vault and SS a recount?

    Besides that, tanking skills are good from what I've seen.

  7. In bear/tank set I have 32 expertise ~ 8.00%. 271 Hit ~ 8.26%. So I better hold threat.

    27k armor ~ 64% physical damage reduction. (3/3) Survival of the fittest make me uncritable. And I use effulgent meta gem as my meta b/c is reduces all spell damage taken by 2% vs austere meta which only adds 2% of my total armor, since i wear leather its not that much and armor has diminishing return making it less potent of a gem.

    The druid block thing you mean is probably Savage Defense, when dealing a critical attack in bear form Savage Defense will reduce the next physical damage received by 25% of my attack power. I have 5088 Attack power so it reduces physical damage i receive by 1272.

    I have a pvp cat dps spec that wears the full furious set. The talent points would be about the same but the gear is pvp. So initially the Cat dps for pve wont be amazing since hes not hit/exp capped and doesnt have gems for armor pen socketed.

    our recruiting needs were the opposite, but yeah, i would expect that to be the goal is to see meters, pve gear on armory, and better values for druid forms listed
     
  9. My chest enchant is not gimp. I picked it over 275 hps. I have a like 10 talent points that modify stats. I tested it again and again because of multipliers I get 15 hps per each sta point and this test was done without kings which again would increase the amount of hit points yielded from stats (sta). For example If i had kings on the 18sta enchant ~ 19.8 sta. even without that additional benefit of kings multiplier the 18sta was preferred.

    And the weapon enchant was free. I expected to get a replacement weapon much sooner.

    i appreciate the response on enchants, but thats not the only problem.


    we currently have no need on a "tank only" druid that isn't as geared and class demand is low for druid tanks.

    and for druids, 275 hp, 8 stats, and 10 stats are all better than 18 stam as best as i can tell in the time where you were maybe pve geared. best of luck to you.
     
  11. I am NOT a tank only druid. So that is a flawed argument. I have 3 very different sets of gear. Tank is one, I have dps gear and full heal set.

    Another point you continue to misunderstand is +18 STA is worth more than 275 hps when in bear, with all the buffs in raid, and when using my talent point multipliers. But since you wont let it go it takes me 10 secs to change to another enchant. So that too is quite easily resolved.

    ty for the very brief and vague questions about my character. Maybe in the furture you could ask testimonials from your own guildmates or join a raid with me to see how i play or contact me in game for a more accurate assessment.

    Good luck fellas and get some phat loot!

    well, i trust the druid tank we have who raided with you (who's base armor is actually more than yours by over 2k in cow form), the testimonials of referals from raids said you were decent, my personal experience with you in a raid where you lost threat repeatedly after demanding you should be the main tank, and most importantly, that you failed to answer fairly specific parts of the application:
    when asked for a damage meter:
    when asked for a screenshot of your UI:
    i understand you had some people refer you to the site, but we have a feral tank and 3 rogues... our demands were for NON-feral tanks. the only druids we would take would be a boomkin and maybe a resto druid.
    you listed yourself as Feral tank pve and feral dps pvp as your specs and those are the gear sets we've seen on armory. If you have the gear and desire to play as one of those specs, then we can reconsider your application. Otherwise, I'm sorry that have little to no need of you as a tank.

    I'm sorry that the class demands post, the specific critiques of those very same people you listed as referals, and questions of the application itself were not clear enough, but I think we have enough people who don't read to take on someone who can't read. Though with the attitude shown here, I would say at least your name is well picked.
