Doesn't seem to be working, as usual. Also don't think i logged out in tanking gear... oops.
About you!
Do you have an awesome grasp of the english language, in both verbal and written form?
I do indeed.
Are you at least 18 years old?
I am, and some more.
Why us?
I have had the pleasure of instancing with some of your members and have found them friendly mature and also great players. It seems like a guild with purpose and professionalism. A very established guild with alot of credentials
Why you?
Well i would hope to be a good a addition to the group. I am told i play my class well, i have studied the mechanics on druid tanking extensively and it is something i truly enjoy doing. I also have my holy priest alt who is level 70 and geared for Kara. I am really getting into that role also. I could be called on for DPS/Tanking or healing for anything you might doing be it raids or 5man instances.
Do you consider yourself active?
Yes. I play most evenings after work from 20:00 server time till 01:00. Then also on my days off i play most of the daytime. This is always Sundays and one other day.
How stable is your connection?
Very. Good broadband connection.
Were you in a guild before? If yes, which one? Why did you leave?
The most recent guild i left was Penultimate Sin. I left due to immature players and a lack of solid leadership, and due to it's very small amount of active players. I was also previously in Dragon Slayers and left when my brother left this server and the main members of the guild ran off to AoC.
Raided before? Where? How'd that work out?
I have raided and cleared Kara regularly, Took on ZA, but due to the guilds lack of solid players only got to 3rd boss. Have also had visits to Gruul and Maggy (was with Dragon Slayers, and it was their first tries at the time).
Are you applying for a raidspot or would you just like to be friends?
Preferably both, i do enjoy raiding immensely and would love the chance to see more content. With WotLK around the corner i am aware that everything is about to change. I am also looking for a place to call home for my characters.
We use addons. If you're applying for a raidspot you'll need at the very minimum Ventrilo. Any problems
there?
Not at all, have vent used it with both previous guilds. Have most of the other regularly used add ons for raiding. If you have any suggestions of others i will definitely get them too.
About Your Class!
What does your chosen talent spec in your class do?
Well things have changed a bit for the druid tank since the patch. We have gotten some tasty new talents to help with multiple target tanking. I must say i am loving it so far. Reduced CD's on panic buttons are very welcomed also. The feral druid is the perfect OT, as we can easily shift between cat DPS and Bear tanking. We have also huge TPS on boss fights also. When DPSing in kitty, i always make sure to throw out combat ressing/innervates when needed. The versatility of the feral spec make the lower DPS output compared to pure DPS classes a very welcome member to any group.
Sounds awesome. What kind of stats do you need on your gear to make that work well?
My main focus has been tanking and i have sought that gear as my priority. I mainly look for Stamina, Armour, Agility, Strength, Dodge (but i prefer to stack Agi over this for the crit = rage bonus, and it provides more actual dodge too), Haste is a great stat for threat building too, Hit rating when i can get it very hard to fit it in so most ferals don't bother with it much. Int is just something that is a bonus with Heart of the Wild and small amounts found on some gear, it helps. I also use a combination of def rating and resilience with the talent Survival of the Fittest to be crit immune. For kitty i always try to grab more hit rating, AP and Strength.
What about abilities? Which do you use? What order do you use them in?
Mangle whenever it is up. Lacerate when mangle on CD, faerie fire feral and demo roar are kept up also. I use berserk whenever it is off it's 3min CD (am loving this new ability), it allows for mangle spamming and hits 3 targets, i usually tab this a bit if the are more then 3 targets. Swipe for AoE tanking and when tanking multiple targets and berserk is on CD. I usually open with maul then mangle then swipe or lacerate depending. Maul is thrown in when rage is not an issue too for additional threat.
For kitty i need to rethink my rotation, pre patch it was just mangle kept up, then shred, shred, shred etc. But some abilities that where considered a useless waste of energy have been buffed.
Tell me an interesting fact.
