Edit:
Cleaned up some parts after having a coffee and realising how messy they looked
Added a couple of bits I missed in my tired state
Updated my gear on the armory as I realised I had my blood stuff on.
Character name: Lothyhar
Character class: Death Knight
Professions: Engineering and Enchanting
Talent specs, gear level, Armory link (advanced mode): Main Frost/Unholy depending on patch strengths and available equipment (High Gaps in item levels on weapons tend to boost a weaker spec over the top spec, although I'm unsure if this still holds true post stat squish).
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/t ... r/advanced Character is a bit of a mess atm due to the long break and playing casually in LFR/Flex recently as blood.
Talent Choices:
Tier 1 - Plague Leech due to the Rune Return, provides 2 death runes every 25 seconds.
Tier 2 - AMZ for the raid utility, Purgatory sometimes has it's uses
Tier 3 - Death's Advance all day long, unless the raid is desperate for an AoE slow or stun
Tier 4 - Blood Tap provides the greatest rune return and DPS when managed properly
Tier 5 - Death Pact due to being the best Oh Sh*t! button of the tier, with no resources wasted.
Tier 6 - Swap and choose per encounter, usually Gorefiend's due to it's uniqueness.
Respeccing: Have played Unholy and Frost to a competent Herioc raiding level for most of my career, and I am also fairly comfortable at playing blood if needed.
Class Info: I Honestly don't know what originally drew me to the DK, but I've played it for my entire raiding career. I've leveled many alts to max level but never found a class I've enjoyed more than DK. I find the rune resource system a lot more engaging than other classes and the game play elements of Unholy (Particularly enjoyed Fester blight, RIP) and 2h Obliterate Frost have to be my favourite specs in the game. I can't say I enjoy DW Frost as much, but will play it if the Patch/Gear demands me to to maximise damage output. My gear is currently a bit of a mess due to tanking for friends casually for the past month or so, but I'm currently spec'd for DW frost which Prioritises Str > Mastery > Crit > Haste.
Current Spec (DW Frost) Priority/Rotation:
1). Soul Reaper on CD if target is below 35% HP
2). Maintain Diseases
3). Frost Strike with KM proc or when next ability would cap runic power.
4). Howling BLAAARGGGGHH!
5). Obliterate to use up Unholy Runes
CDs:
Plague Leech on CD for Rune Return.
Pillar of Frost on CD for obvious reasons (sometimes saving for a few seconds to line up with raid mechanics, but this usually isn't an issue due to it's insanely low CD and nearly 50% uptime with the CDR trinket.
Army of the Dead channel Pre-pull leaving enough time for runes to recharge.
Empower runic weapon when all runes are expended and low on Runic Power (Always good to do this whilst Pillar of Frost for optimal burst).
Raid experience: So Previous Experience is:
T11 - Cleared all 3 raids on Normal. (Joined the game early in this tier)
T12 - 6/7 HC
T13 - 7/8 HC (we got 8/8 on prepatch for mop)
T14 - MSV 6/6 HC HoF 4/6 HC ToS 1 or 2/4 HC
T15 - 5/13 HC
T16 - 14/14 Normal Cleared back in March.
Guild history: So my longest term guild was a little 10 man guild based on Emerald Dream Alliance, which was my home from T11 right the way through to early T14. It was a guild composed of 4-5 competent players who helped out close friends who weren't as capable. Unfortunately when MoP hit we hit a brick wall where the raids had gotten too difficult for them to keep up with, compared to the IMHO easier raids of Cata, so many of the weaker players moved elsewhere or left the game. The remaining 4-5 players merged with another guild on the server. This lasted until we cleared normal ToT, where the merge began to cause a rift in the guild. I was an officer in the guild as part of our early agreement that the merger was 2 equal guilds coming together. This eventually caused problem between me and a handful of raiders and the 2 GM of the original guild where we simply didn't see eye to eye anymore. This did lead to the eventual forced removal of myself and a couple of other players. The incident was handled poorly by both parties myself included, and i regret this stain on my otherwise pleasant wow history, but i feel honesty is the best policy here. I will happily indulge further details if required.
Your recent performances: It's been so long unfortunately, Last time i properly raided was very early 2014. I've managed to grab a few records of me on Epeen Bot, not entirely sure how accurate these are however, and they really only focus on DPS. Any logs of me have been deleted due to the time gap.
When can you play: I am reliably online from around 5.30 on weekdays and weekends I can always plan around raids.
Where are you from: UK - English
Age: 20
Communication: I own a microphone and am completely comfortable communicating via voice chat if needed during raid. I also enjoy chatting out of raids if there are those who enjoy that in NSJL
About you: I'm a 20 year old data processor from the midlands England. Played wow on and off due to various IRL issues which I will happily discuss, but would prefer to do so less publicly. My hobbies include gaming (duh!) spending time with mates and family, and the occasional drunken stumble into town. I'm also one of those guys who loves their job (not sure if thats a good or bad thing!). I'm pretty laid back and chilled, love a good laugh, happy to help anyone who needs it.
Why do you want to join and what do you expect from the guild: I'm looking to get back into the high end raiding scene, it's been waaaaaay too long since i felt the thrill of finally getting that boss you've been working on for hours down. Nothing beats it!
UI and keybinds:
http://i.imgur.com/T5FD7FP.jpgThat's my UI, it's probably not the cleanest especially as i'm waiting on some updates to some of my favourite addons but it works for me.
Keybinds are Q E R F T G, 1 through 5 and then those with Alt/Ctrl modifiers. My defensive cooldown's are bound to my Razer Mouse Buttons along with some AoE/utility on the Scroll Wheel.
Anything else: I'm not sure what else to put really! If there is anything anyone wants to ask me hit me up in game, Lothyhar - Thunderhorn / Lothyhar#1361
