re: App: Arissii

The application submitted by Arissii is as follows:

Quote:
What is your main character name?:
Arissii

What class are you?:
Death Knight

What spec are you? What talent spread are you and why did you choose your particular talents? What spec will you want to play in WotLK?:
I am currently a Frost DPS spec (17/54/0). The reason for this spec was that all of my old guild’s DKs were Unholy and one Blood. We had the other specs covered so someone had to take one for the team and spec frost to cover the buffs (Frost Aura and Improved Icy Talons) the raid leader wanted. I was happy to do so since I find most DK play styles and specs fun. I am happy to re-spec to any DPS spec as needed (I have the gear to cover all the DPS specs including DW). I enjoy tanking some also, but I have not narrowed down a tanking spec I really enjoy and my tanking gear is nowhere near the level of my DPS gear right now. As for individual talent choices I feel that I have chosen the best talents for DPS and still coving the needs of my old guild. If you have any questions on my choices I am happy to go into detail.

What race are you?:
Draenei

Name your alts on Windrunner and their levels. (If you're transferring and are bringing your alts give us their names/server as well):
I have a level 70 Shaman (Vyncilla) and level 70 Hunter (Kyrlanna) on Hyjal. My plan was not to transfer them as I don’t really play them anymore.

Are you applying to be a Raiding member or to be a Casual (Non-raiding) member?:
I am applying to be a raider member.

Link your armory.:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Hyjal&n=Arissii

What bosses in WOTLK do you have experience with? 10 man or 25 man or both? How much of Sunwell Plateau did you clear pre-3.0 patch? What's your favorite boss encounter and why?:
WotLK
Sarth 10/25 no drakes up, old guild would not take the risk
Naxx 10/25 up KT, old guild attempted KT but was unable to kill him (people have yet to learn not to stand in the red shit)
I have not fought Mal yet, when the guild fell about everyone with a key left the guild

Pre 3.0
My guild never progressed to Sunwell, we did clear most of BT though


Were you MH/BT attuned pre-patch?:
No

List your guild history and why you left any previous guilds.:
With my DK I have only been in one guild. Outsourced on Hyjal. I did raid in BC with my Shaman and Hunter though in the same guild. Recently there was some loot drama that broke the guild apart. I feel that both sides were kind of petty for letting loot kill the guild so I am choosing to stay with neither side and look for a new home. I hate to leave some friends but I want to see progression and as a guild we were kind of holding ourselves back anyway by not pushing for Mal or Sarth with Drakes up. Before that I was in a raiding guild on Lightbringer (Obsidian Phoenix) that kind of just died out when the guild leaders had to quit WoW.

Do you have any WWS of your performances in raids? If so, link one or two here.:
I do and can post them later if possible. I don’t have the links handy on the computer I am filling this out on.

What professions/levels do you have? (if there is a specialization please tell us your spec too):
Blacksmithing (445), no specialization at this point
Mining (450)


Premonition raids Sunday-Thursday 7:30pm(invites)-11:30pm PST (server time). What is your daily playtime? What timezone are you in? Are you able to raid at least 4 nights a week?:
I am in the PST time zone. I usually play between 7-midnight Sunday through Thursday. Fridays I am usually online, but not too late as I head out with friends unless I make WoW plans ahead of time. Saturdays I am usually free but only at odd times and almost never in the evening. I can easily make 4 raids in a week.

Tell us about yourself. :
I am a 31 year old Sr QA Manager for a major software publisher. Married, but no children. When not playing WoW I love to read and watch movies. I am fairly easy going and friendly. Don’t talk much on vent unless directly spoken to and even then to keep vent clear I am more likely to respond in raid chat of guild chat, but I am pretty chatty in raid/party/whispers once I get to know folks. I have a pretty sarcastic sense of humor that I tend to get carried away with in party chat at times or raid/guild chat if provoked or given the opportunity. I take raiding and my wow time pretty seriously. I am playing to have fun but my time is valuable to me and I assume it’s the same for the people I raid with so I try to do my best and expect the best from others when in groups or raids.

Why do you want to join Premonition?:
I am looking for a guild that will be working on raid progression. Your raid times work out perfectly for me and you are looking for a DPS DK…

What is your main goal in WoW? What do you want out of the game?:
Time away from the wife and work… seriously just some fun and see the encounters. Loot is nice and all, but I want to see the fights. I enjoy seeing new content.

What is the most noob thing you've ever done in WoW? Tell the truth! :
Easy, this is a two part. My first Gruul run with my Hunter (doesn’t everyone have a huntard story). I have been raiding on my Shaman for a while and was looking to start gearing up my alt hunter (old old main). I was not used to misdirect yet, but the raid leader asked me to MD Gruul to the tank. So I think my hunter in blues is badass and ready for the pull. Mage initiates the countdown for the pull. Somehow I had set the mage as my focus and MD him. I am concentrating so hard to not fuck up that I don’t hear one of the officers call out that I MD’d the wrong person don’t pull. I shoot and MD Gruul right to the mage. Well the guild was quick to recover and no wipe… yet. I felt like crap but we would win and I would pay for the repairs of the mage, not a big deal. So I start shooting the mage add not remembering that arcane shot removes buffs. I hear over vent… “oh fuck” and that promptly reminds me to not use arcane shot. So I get both of our mages killed on the same attempt and wipe the raid. That noob enough for you?

If there is anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself or your skill that the application didn't cover do it here.:
Not sure I have anything else to add really. I have been playing wow since launch. I enjoy most aspects of the game (cooking and fishing I just have never done). I try and do a lot of research both online and in game for my spec and rotations. Like I said before when raiding I take the game seriously but still have fun. When not raiding… well I will find the oddest things to occupy my time in game. I am always happy to help a guild mate or a stranger. Thanks for the consideration of my app… Oh, one last thing, obviously I am willing to transfer servers if accepted (I know its implied in that very act of aping, but I wanted to make that clear).

The physical DPS team leads will appreciate this... they are both huntards!!!

Thanks for your interest in Premonition. Please make an account on Windrunner and talk to myself, Aredor or Raindrizzle and we'll get you on vent and talk to you some.

I would be happy to talk to you guys in Vent. I will try and get a character made on Windrunner tonight before your raid if that works.

Just noticed I forgot to put down what my favorite boss encounter was…

So in punishment I will list 3, one in base game, BC and then WotLK
- Vanilla wow – Razorgore in BWL: I just always loved the controlled chaos of the fight.
- TBC – Teron Gorefiend in BT: becoming a ghost and having the kill the adds was a blast… if only I had a chance to be a ghost more often… and get to kill shit while a ghost.
- WotLK – Gluth in Naxx: This one because I have been asked multiple time to tank/kite the zombies and I found this to be a pain in the ass but at the same time fun since get to… well really have to use just about every useful ability I have to pick them up and keep them on me (in DPS spec wearing tanking gear). I am sure this would not be my answer though on another toon or if I did not have to kite the zombies for my old guild.

Would you mind linking the following talent choices you would use if you were asked to spec:

1 - Blood DPS

2 - Unholy DPS

3 - Dual Wield DPS

4 - Blood Tank

5 - Frost Tank

6 - Unholy Tank

I understand you haven't really settled in on a tank spec, but as any of Premonition's Knights can tell you, you may hear the call to tank any night for any reason. I also asked for 6 different builds because I am a sadist and they let me post in application threads even though I am not an officer.

I have used the following DPS specs and liked them before the patch, but I would like to test some before I made a final call. As for the tanking the blood and frost are more a guess based on what I have played around with a little. I have used the Unholy tank spec for Naxx 10/25 and heroics and it worked for me. Again though as I said before, I am not 100% sure how to spec for tanking yet.

Why pick necrosis in the unholy tank tree? You ought to dodge/parry enough that all your runic power is gonna get sunk into Runic Strikes for extra threat if you're wielding a standard 3.4+ speed weapon.

Necrosis seems to little benefit for 5 talent pts. I'd drop it and pick up wandering plague, max morbidity and maybe pick up corpse explosion.

Necrosis affects your auto-attacks only. Runic Strike makes your next auto-attack swing deal 150% dmg and extra threat. Runic Strike is off the GCD. With a slow enough weapon and enough mitigation you are not going to have many regular-auto attacks because Runic Strike will be available for every swing. My point is that 5 talent points is a heavy price for auto-attacks considering you're not going to see that many to begin with if you're an unholy tank and you're sinking most of your rune power into Runic Strikes.

Yes, I am not sure where you are getting at with Necrosis Fura, but I can answer your question as to the others.

Only based on my meager tanking experience and opinnion so i am open to other ideas...

Wandering plague is good, but with unholy I never had an issues with AOE tanking and did not need any extra threat on AOE pulls that wandering plague offers. But to be fair I do go back and forth on that talent for tanking and can see the usefulness. My fear was always that it would tag a sheep or something that broke early making it harder to control.

Maxing Morbidity would be useful but it seemed to me that the 1 point in gargoyle offers a nice bump in DPS in some situations and I am not giving up much by not maxing out morbidity.

As for corpse explosion, pre-patch was pretty worthless IMO and not worth wasting an unholy rune on for the tiny aoe damage/aggro it added.

Now if you meant gargoyle as Hako thought. I would agree overall that it is not really a tanking talent but pre-patch offered a nice bit of DPS for one talent point, it made the difference for me in a few heroics I tanked. After the nerf, I would want test it out some and I might not take it anymore.

That makes sense. With the extra threat from runic strike now after the patch it does extra threat, and your point to the fewer auto-attacks. Where would you point those points then? I am honestly curious as I would like to work on my tanking some even if DPS is my main spec.

Also, the queue pretty much locks out new characters being created, so it took me a while to even get an alt created on Windrunner and by the time I could get in you guys were in the raid (hope all went well) and I only saw one of the names listed above to talk to online and I did not want to bother anyone during your raid time. Tonight I should have no issue though getting online before your raid and talking to someone.

Didn’t want you guys to think I flaked when I said I would try and be there to talk to someone.
