Yes, I originally hit 80 as feral tank then slowly and I mean slowly switched to dps. I loved tanking and do my best when I do tank but I love the competition between other players. I have tanked all of naxx 10/25, Eoe, Uld 10/25, Toc 10/25, ICC 10/25, OS+3 10. I understand the m,acros required for maul and glyphs, and when to switch them such as on saurfang. I also have a resto set toc25 and pvp resto spec. I do not go oomkin. I strongly dislike it.

What is your preferred spec and are you willing to respec to fit the guild's needs?

Feral dps. I enjoy feral dps but am open to raiding as tank or heals also. Feral dps is complicated, and I like complicated. Maintaining all my bleeds, and buffs along with listening in to people who need brez and innervates, buffs, quick heals when I can. I am willing to respec tank or heals, but sorry fellas oomkin is outta the picture.

What stats to you prioritize for? In addition please give an example of your most used spell or your spell rotation for healing and/or DPSing.

I am aiming for Armor pen cap. Hopefully by end of ICC I will be able to regem all arm pen and have 100% arm pen 100% of the time. Other then that I do my best to maintain hit and expertise cap. The gems I am currently using are agi, I am soft capped, over soft capped for arm pen and the next best thing for me is to regem agi to aim for crit cap but maintaining food attack power. The glyphs I use for feral dps are savage roar for the extra +3% damage boost to it, rip which keeps rip up a extra 4 seconds and shred that, with every shred it adds 2 seconds to rip capping @ 6 extra seconds. This gives me more times to shred, or rake or if it is possible ferocious bite. My gear is aimed for Arm pen and crit cap. Almost all my gear has arm pen on it except several items where I can't find a good arm pen piece IE my belt. Armor pen is extremely important to me because a majority of my damage are white hits, so more arm pen = more damage for my white hits. More crit = more damage for white hits also.

Learning PVE encounters can take a lot of time to learn. Do you have a problem with wiping and learning encounters?

No I do not. I honestly enjoy wiping especially on the blood council. I had a tremendous amount of fun learning that fight and the blood queen.

How do you take criticism about your class and your performance in raids?

I take it seriously and do everything in my power at the moment in time to perform better, then work on it with time.

Why did you choose Rogues take zero skill over the other guilds of Arthas?

I am honestly looking for a good realm to go to. I chose realm arthas because I had a few friends who I played FFXI with, one of them being Lunamarie AKA Saviour, and Mokari AKA Reiyon, and Xugpy AKA Xugpy lol. My name on FFXI was gordel and I did play a little bit of BC on arthas with a shaman named Yorde. I was in DC with Luna and Mokari and Xugpy for a bit also. I am mainly looking for a good guild that will allow me to be with some good friends of mine that I have known for years even though I did loose contact with them.

What is your previous guild history? Why did you leave? [IN DEPTH]

I am still in Thriller. It is a good guild with many friends and has advanced pretty well, yet I would like to try to rekindle my friendship with those people who I played FFXI with.

What raid experience do you have pre-BC, TBC, and in WOTKL? Please be detailed.

I started playing in BC, cleared kara as a resto shaman, and a demo lock, also attempted Hydross in SSC once. Wrath, I have done all of naxx 10/25, OS+3 10/25 have dps'd and tanked for both, Maly 10 never attempted 25 never saw a reason to except for achievement. Ulduar 10/25 dps'd and tanked both. Haven't downed yogg or algalon yet but have experienced all fights in 10/25 except algalon. TOC10/25 downed easysauce, TOGC 10 4/5, TOGC25 1/5. I got DI'd during NB fight and it didnt award me with the kill on my achievement log ):. ICC 10 have downed up to blood queen still wiping on her, ICC25 downed fester/rotface working on PP, and blood council.

What do you feel you can bring to Rogues take zero skill? Why should we accept you in our ranks?

I am a very skilled druid in nearly all specs. I know my class very well and I know what to look for and where to look if I am confused. I always research fights and prepare myself so I know what to expect and am very friendly player that encourages strong players to form a bond.

With 25 man raids, spots are very competitive and generally are given to the highest performed players. Are you willing to compete for your spot? Are you willing to sit at times? We treat trials with respect and skill is always > seniority.

Yes to all.

Post a screenshot of your UI. Preferably in a raiding environment but if one is not available at least describe where raiding things would be.

I move my buffbar to the right, grid is to right, I have badkitty, kitty on left, bear on right and boss and boss's target at top along with focus, focus' target and focus's targets target directly under boss

Please list theses five choices from greatest importance to least importance when you are playing World of Warcraft: Loot, Friendship, PVP, Fun, New Content+

Fun, Friendship/socializing, Loot, New Content, PVP

Please provide a link to a WWS report for the most recent raid you attended, if possible (WWS will give us a good idea of what you're capable of and also go a long way in helping you get a trial)

Here are some specific PVE questions:

1. Which target must the DPS switch to when Lord Marrowgar casts Bone Spike Graveyard and why?

Bone Spike, because it places a bleed effect on the target that causes a % damage every second, and if a healer gets impaled it prevents them from healing tanks/dps because it also does a stun effect.

2. What must you do when you get the Blood Nova debuff on the Deathbringer Saurfang encounter?

You must move away from other members within 12 yrds. /range imo

3. Why must Shadow Strike be interrupted on the Anub'arak (Heroic) encounter?

Because it will nearly kill if not one shot someone in the raid.

4. During Anub'arak (Heroic) how many Permafrost are you limited to per Submerge phase?

3 permafrosts assuming you can get him to 30% before third burrow. Allowing them to burrow will actually benefit the OT during this burn phase.

I hope you do strongly consider my application and do speak with lunamarie about it. I am a good player, funny guy, smart ass in a good way and a achievement whore. When nothing is going on I am always doing something

Couple things:

You are currently logged out in tank spec/gear when I'm checkin this. There are a few problems I see with it.
1) You talented Shredding attacks and 1/2 Brutal impact. Rage is not an issue. ever. Shredding attacks is essentially useless in a tank build. Brutal impact is a pvp talent. There are not so many interrupt fights in this tier of content that you will need that reduction of the cooldown. The best thing is to drop both of those talents for Infected wounds. Even if you have someone else in raid that can apply the attack speed debuff, you are not guaranteed they will always have it up. IW is a major survival talent.

2) Lots of pvp pieces being used for tanking. While this worked in TBC and has kinda been able to work in WotLK, PvP gear is no longer a good option for tanking. Sure it has a lot of stamina, but you can get PvE versions of those pieces with equivalent Stam as well as good defensive stats.

3) Gemming - Agi gems are not gonna be as valuable as stam gems in current content. We get plenty of dodge from our actual gear. The only reason to use a non-pure stam gem is to activate your meta. That extra .6% dodge you get from an agi gem is nice, but that extra 400+hp (talents+buffs) from a gem will save your ass more often.

Like I said, I can't see your cat gear, so I'll just comment on talents for the time being.
--Talents look pretty solid, the only change I would suggest is to pick up Imp LotP. A lot of dps ferals overlook this talent because they assume someone else in raid will provide the aura. The aura is just a small part of the talent. The mana gain is the part that can be extremely useful.

In a raid, you might need to use battlerez, tranquility, throw a couple heals, rebuff players that had been battle rezzed, among other things. All this will eat through your mana pool. What do you do if you are too oom to shift back into a form? what if the raid lead asks you to help throw heals (I know this is rare...)? That's the thing about being a hybrid, we can claim we can only do our one specific job, but if we ignore our other abilities we're not doing everything we can to help the raid.

--Glyph Suggestion, drop one of your minor glyphs for glyph of dash. 2.4min cd instead of 3mins is pretty awesome.

Looking forward to seeing your DPS gear,

Carn

I usually have infected wounds talented, but I was working on achievements this week and get raged starved when I tank lv70 heroics DX

The only 2 PVP items I am currenlty usuing are belt and boots. I didn't see any other effective item to replace them with currently as I gear for DPS spec first. I continue to work on PVE gear for my tank spec every chance I get.

I am more then happy to regem for pure stamina, I've just always been iffy about it you know? I started 80 as a bear hardcore agi whore and slowly broke it.. But I will be more then happy to regem stamina on the legs and chest. The 2 pvp item's I really don;t want to waste gold on in case I do find a upgrade out of any where. If thats understandable?

I will respec my dps set tonight once I log in. I now understand what you mean by this directly below me. Usually I am just brezzing and innervating so I never really had to worry about healing or tranquility.

I will get on it now.

Tonight I'll log out in dps gear. My DPS set is currently equiped with agi gems. I am sorta iffy about regeming for 100% arm pen because if I do I will be at 1264~ arm pen unbuffed, Wasn't going to do that til i was able to get 1340~ that way the gap wasn't so big. The 1264 arm pen includes Banner of Victory, replacing my DMC:G.

DPS gear looks solid. Definitely better than your tank set. Now just gotta wait for recruitment officers to look this over.

Like I said to the other feral druid we dont need more feral dps. The only problem I see with you as our third tank if you do accept that the only problem I see is having 3 ferals dpsing.Let us know if your willing to be a tank though.
