Beergogglez, 80 Orc Shammy, Enh 18/53/0

Discussion in 'Denied Applications' started by Beergogglez, Feb 26, 2010.

  1. 1. Character Name, Class, and Main Spec: Beergogglez, 80 Orc Shammy, Enh 18/53/0

    2. Armory Link (and talent choices explained): http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sargeras&cn=Beergogglez

    I pulled this spec from a friend that has been an Enh shammy for 2-3 years now.

    3. Age (18 is required with limited exceptions): 28

    4. List your current professions and describe how they help when raiding:
    Engineering (Boot enchant helps with movement, Hand enchant gives haste) both very helpful when raiding.
    Alcy (still lving alchy I have another toon with it maxed but this will help with the added bonuses from Flasks)

    5. Time playing WoW and PvE progression: I have been playing WoW since MC. I have raided everything but Sunwell. I took a 6 month break to play Aion around the time Uldar was coming out. I have raided 6/12 in ICC25 and read up/ watched videos on 8/12 of the fights.

    6. Describe your method for theorycrafting your class: I read up on Elitist Jerks and use Rawr to make sure I'm maximizing my DPS with available gear.

    7. Occupation and living arrangements that impact raiding (family, classes, dorm, night shifts etc): Single, live alone. I work during the day and only go out on the weekends. Tuesday through Thursday is perfect raiding days for me. I am always home by 7pm server

    8. Guild you are leaving and why (If you join another guild without following up here, application will be closed): I am currently in Conquest. I joined them a three weeks ago to raid and I have had to pug the last 2 weeks in ICC. I dont see them getting a progression ICC25 man together any time soon so I am looking to join another guild.

    9. How did you hear about us? List any friends/references within the guild: I have been on this server for 2 years now and I know XoO has been around for ever. I have talked with in the past Ricerocket and my friend Corpulent said you might be looking for an Enh Shammy.

    10. List consumables you bring to raid: Flask of Endless Rage. Haste pots if needed

    11. Any Scheduling conflicts (consider possible weekend groups for 10mans): Nope

    12. Provide measure of your damage/healing such as Recount (Screenshot to include player breakdown of attack %'s), WoW Web Stats (WWS), or World of Logs listing:

    Will add screenshot of this after I run ICC25 this week. :eek:

    13. Provide a UI screenshot:

    14. Final comments you feel could help your application: I really miss raiding with a guild. I look forward to talking with someone in game or maybe running a 5 man. I know I have pugged with a lot of Xen members and everyone seems down to earth.

  3. Sorry about that. The red on the gray background didn't show on my screen that well, I had to go back and highlight it to read it.

    1st : 10man Ony wont give you a good report on dps, go too the dummy and run a 5 minute test, with your spec i know you wont go dry or at least get a good test from a 25 boss that isn't Ony.
    2nd : Your spec is off for your gear level and you saying that you go to EJ you should know this, the only time you take imp SS is when you get the fire nova glyph for AoE spec, also with over 13k mana before raid buffs you do not need imp SS in your spec. passive dmg is a shamans best friend.

    Just a few question for you that I wouldn't mind you answering for me.
    1st : When do you cast flame shock and why?
    also with the changes to flame shock happening make a comment on it at least please.
    2nd: there one SS debuff left, SS off CD in 1 second, your shocks are off CD and you have a 5 stack of Maelstrom, what do you do?
    3rd: everything is on CD and your shields have 2 stacks left no SS debuff up and a 4 stack of maelstrom.
     
  7. answer to your questions.

    #1: I know Ony10 wasn't the best thing to post my dps but I wanted to put something up rather then nothing. I have not been able to find a pug for ICC25

    I have not seen any theorycrafting or stat sheets from the public test realms to draw a definitive conclusion of what will be better. Numbers are just that until they are put to test. My old college stats teacher said he loved stats cause you could get the numbers to do anything you want. Same theory here until it is put to the test it is hard for me to draw a conclusion on it.

    2nd: there one SS debuff left, SS off CD in 1 second, your shocks are off CD and you have a 5 stack of Maelstrom, what do you do?
    Cast Lightning, SS to get the debuff back up and then Shock.

    3rd: everything is on CD and your shields have 2 stacks left no SS debuff up and a 4 stack of maelstrom.
    If everything is on cooldown? its kind of hard to say what you are going to do after refreshing your shield? I have never had everything on cooldown so I've ever had this situation.

    so, as a non-shaman, #1 that pepper is bringing up means what? could you give the priority you cast it in connected to the start of the fight at least since i didn't really see what your answer was there.
     
  9. My rotation at the start of the fight goes: Storm Strike, Lava Lash, Earth Shock, Nova and then I start going to the priority of my spells. Then Maelstrom Weapon get priority and depending on what is on CD or needs to be refreshed there is a whole bunch of hot keys to mash.

    Unfortunately, you are not what we are looking for in a raider at this time. I wish you luck in your search for a new guild.
