  1. I personally used RC when I tanked last tier because it was set and forget and I found it procced very regularly. It may be 45% chance but its a 6s regen buff instead of a one time thing. I haven't played my dk since tot came out but I remember using rune strike so often it would occasionally chain proc.

    Just my 2c but I was never a fan of BT because I felt RC was sufficient without worrying about it being wasted or having to sit on anything.

  2. You say I go out of my way to be overly crude. Part of this is my dark, twisted sense of humor, part of it is my sarcastic ways, part of it is my language, and part of it is your interpretation from my written text.

    I'm generally accepting of people because its the Internet and you can be whoever you want to be regardless of who you really are. I believe what you said echos what Ashin said but provided reasonings to show its not going out of your way to be what some perceive as crude, but that it is exactly in your way to be such.

    What Ashin meant by people are on their best behavior is that people want to impress the guild they are applying to. I feel this process is more akin to a job application process than a courtship. Granted a portion of applying for a new job is courtship, but there is more answering why we should want you on the roster than the "this is how I am take it or leave it" that came across in you're original post.

    Just my $0.02

  3. It's been a tad less than 48 hours since you apped and a weekend. Ashin is normally ridiculously quick at responding to posts so he must be busy. Be patient. I'd use this time to read through the plethora of blood dk apps we have and prepare for the similar questions headed your way.

  4. Babs has been offered a trial and will be transferring to Stormreaver soon.

    Babs, your first stop is to go to the guild policy forum, read our code of conduct, and post to indicate your agreement. You'll then want to familiarize yourself with the Raiding and Chapter Policy subforums of WoW. In particuar, please make sure you have familiarized yourself with HM encounters 1 thru 6, and that you have downloaded and installed the DKP Bidder addon.

    Good luck!

    Thank you, I have started to look over the strats, my normal strat sites seem to fail me on heroics. My toon is transferred, I'll get an invite when I'm home from my internahip. Very excited to be apart of the guild.

  5. Does that make sense?

    It absolutely makes sense, but you'll never see me not target switch. WW monks lose very little in a target switch and can often get to a new target faster than others due to our crazy mobility..

    What will your monk bring to my team that isn't covered by other melee classes?

    WW Monks utility come from our mobility, defensives, self heals, and SEF. none of these are novel and new but the combination and versatility is awesome. My monk brings the most mobility of any class, in concert with engineering. I can roll, run, rocket boost, FSK, or spec into another run speed, enabling me to get in and out of things faster and more regularly than others.

    WW come standard with a 90% damage reduction CD and can spec into another in addition to a 20% damage reduction and health boost CD. finalky. Touch of karma allows us to basically absorb damage up to 100% of our health and redirect it back to the target, making it both a powerful spell defensivley and offensivley. This allows us to do things like solo soak static shock on Lei Shen or stand in fire to send the damage back to the boss. I can survive a hit of about 4 mil damage with Diffuse Magic and redirect the damage i do take back to the boss with Touch of Karma, leaving me unscathed.

    With chi wave, dispell harm, and healing spheres I can self heal a reasonable amount. It won't replace a healer healing me but it may keep me alive a few extra seconds till that heal can come.

    Finally Storm, Earth, and Fire allows me to split myself and send my spirits to other targets that copy my rotation. If I split once the me and my spirit do 60% of my normal damage each, which totals 120% do my single target, with two spirits we do 45% damage for 135% my single target. This allows me to up my dps by a reasonable amount while spreading the damage out to other targets. It's more often comes in handy to speed up an encounter like Council or Horridon. It does however have the bonus of the spirits taking 90% less aoe damage, so anything short of them being single targeted, they survive. So if I can't attack a boss for a period of time because they are aoeing I can send in a spirit and attack something else, at least to continue some dps, if that is what the strategy allows. I have also found They do not trigger effects, so a fight like Heroic Spirit Kings, I could put a spirit on the shielded one to continue damage. This likely doesn't work all the time but it can be used for good.

    Related to this, how geared and comfortable are you as a Brewmaster? Reason I ask is not to say I would ask you to main tank, but we've seen at least one fight (HM Tortos) where having a Brewmaster offtank would have trivialized the learning curve. In case we find others of that ilk, I'd like the option to ask my WW to go Br.

    I have little experience as BM outside of tanking adds on Horridon which is more crazy than controlled. I can learn, just need practice. I try to practice on LFR but that doesn't enable me to master the stagger mechanic which is the hardest part. I am not confident enough to do it right away but I can learn.

    Let me know your thoughts, and we'll connect tonight or Saturday re: a trial. If accepted, are you available to start next week?

    I can start next week, should get my second lei Shen 10m kill on Sunday and hopefully a trinket.
