Shoults

SS uptime was fixed. These are all good points many of which I have added. Look forward to continuing to hear back from members of the guild. =)

- My histroy of kills won’t really reflect how easy that boss was for the last guild I was in. Since MoP started ive been in 3 different guilds for the first 2 Monolith/Fully Torqued Blade Lord was quite easy and we killed it with no problems week after week. For the last guild Wyze which is the guild the logs are from had many problems with it for some strange reason. - Priority: Black Arrow- Kill Shot – Explosive Shot – Serpent Sting – Barrage/Glaive Toss - AMOC - I put Serpent Sting after BA-KS-ES as the amount of damage they do is much higher then SS put I put it ahead of everything else since its constantly ticking keeping it up as much as possible gives more damage over the other spells. - Tracking ICD I only track Lock and Load and my trinkets ‘Unrelenting Attacks’ and ‘Agile’. Abilities I track are pretty much all of them in my rotation. The icons above my focus bar is a dynamic group made from weak auras that tracks when things are on CD how long the CD is and it shows when its ready. - Deterrence is a great survival tool. I mainly use it to take huge AoE hits or completely dodge mechanics of a fight. Examples would be standing outside of a bubble on during Force and Verve on Vizier. Or Sha of Fear when you could time it with Huddle in Terror and have a chance to have the mechanic misses you completely which was pretty big in 10man. - It is relevant because I had stopped doing anything for quite sometime and went into Weak Auras interface to change settings had to do it for all the spells so 10 spells I was inactive for around a minute or so. Opening CD Macro: /cast Stampede /cast Rapid Fire /cast Berserking /cast Yaungol Slayer's Gloves Rapid Fire Macro: /cast Rapid Fire /cast Berserking Silencing Shot Macro: #showtooltip Silencing Shot /cast [target=focus,exists] Silencing Shot /cast [target=target,exists] Silencing Shot Deterrence Macro: /cast Deterrence /cancelaura Deterrence Tranq Macro: /cast [target=focus,exists] Tranquilizing Shot /cast [target=target,exists] Tranquilizing Shot MD Macro: /cast [target=mouseover,exists] Misdirection Focus Macro: /focus Mainly the ones I use on a regular basis. - MDing I just use the MD Macro and my raid frames - For one I have done the heroic progression before in multiple tiers, I know what is expected and needed to be able to perform at the level of everyone else. Even though I haven’t raided this tier at all it has not stopped me from doing research on it watching streams about it and when I can hang out in skype with a group of friends while they raid listening in and hearing all the things about the bosses. Watching boss guide videos whenever they are out about the boss, just watching Hunter PoVs a lot seeing how others are positioning and learn why they stand there why they are using their specific spec or talent choices. Of course LFR and Heroic are very different just running LFRs over and over I learn about the general positioning of the fight. Most of the time heroic boss fights only add 1-2 sometimes 3 new abilities the rest are the same. The damage from them is of course scaled down by quite a lot but I can still learn how the work and the best ways to not get hit by them. If you would like I can write out what I do for the first 5 bosses. I knew that not playing for 2 months right when a tier hits would be a issue I am not the best at getting my point across but I am a very fast learner I have always gone into new encounters with the mentality of learning everything possible before doing it and going in for the first pull first kill it rarely gets killed first pull but I personally will already know what I am doing.

Just made the rotation aura above my focus bar a couple of the spells weren't showing probably so I stopped mid fight to correct them.

From an LFR I ran yesterday, http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-ito1ibai9fxrjjp8/details/29/?enc=kills My usual SS up time was like 70% maybe 80%. With the change to UI its over 90%

I was actually raiding on my paladin at the time. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/blackhand/Shoultspally/advanced A lot more kills on the older content. -I actually have a new computer coming tomorrow been raiding on the same computer since start of Cata. http://www.originpc.com/gaming/desktops/genesis/ (Is the computer I bought.) -Processor: Intel Extreme Edition Core i7 3970X 3.5GHz/4.0GHz Turbo Hex-Core (15MB L3 Cache) -Memory: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz (4x4GB) -Graphics Card: Single 4GB EVGA GTX 690 1. I agree on some fights my uptime for SS is pretty low I was using just a progress bar from Weak Auras to track it since then I have switched to a actual warning when there is no serpent sting so if it does fall I know instantly when I just had the progress bar I ended up focusing on other things and would lose it quite a bit. Wasn't aware that the dots kept ticking will down there I was under the impression that they just fell off as they did during the add phases. 2. Quite a few times my CD usage was pretty bad. I ended up using Bestial Wrath right before hide got annoying. We were using the stack 2 buffs to max and running in out to keep them up I had to watch mine and the DKs buff and call when to get out and in I came close to deaths a few times and also had to sit in full detterrence just to not die. Kinda all these things together into a few terrible kills on my part. 3. healers had trouble on almost all of our attempts on that boss I really don't know why. It was like it was harder for us then any other boss. Every kill or wipe we would lose multiple people to constant damage in that phase. I know one was kinda my fault as I rocket boot all the down. But that was a constant issue in our raids. -SV Opener: Serpent Sting - Stampede - Rapid Fire/Berserking/Gloves - Explosive Shot - Black Arrow - Barrge/Glaive Toss - Fervor - AMOC - Usually lock and load has proc'd - Readiness - Explosive Shot - Rapid Fire. -Priority: Explosive Shot - Black Arrow - Barrage/Glaive Toss - AMOC (I always try to keep above 35 focus at all times so I will always have the focus to instantly get ES back on CD) -I was tracking my ICD with Sexy Cooldown, now I have been making Weak Auras to track them. I track Lock and Load, and trinkets mainly. Tracking them can be pretty helpful its nice cause you know that they could proc and second so if I have my engineering gloves up and my trinket is up in like 1 second I would save it and get them together. Ideal situation I could get them all out together and get Black Arrow and AMOC out so their dots are a bit stronger. - Serpent Sting up time is defiantly one of my bigger ones which I think I have fixed with the change to my UI. Also timing my CDs could be a bit cleaner. Comes to surviving I am pretty good at it I don't get hit by many needless mechanics, smarter use of healthstones would be one I tend to use it right when I take damage so I can try and get as many in a boss fight as possible though then at critical times I don't have it so just need to be more aware of when is a good time to use it I am sure if I had a healthstone on the blade lord boss up maybe I could have saved myself.

The community just seems active, reading thru posts on other apps and other places on the forums people just seem active. I'm guessing you are looking at the Garalon, Stone Guard, Feng and Will ones for SV 25man. Those fights were all played SV with Feng and will being a toss up on what the raid needed. We had a problem with adds on Feng so I was SV to help that out, and also did the adds on Will so played SV. Seems like a lot of the logs that I clicked were expired since they are kinda old. http://www.worldoflogs.com/guilds/239958/calendar/02-13/ Here is some from Wyze my last guild that our GM didn't make private.

Hello, the kills from when I joined Wyze will most likely not show since our GM kept the logs private why I really don't know. http://raidbots.com/epeenbot/us/llane/shoults/ You will have to go down and go into the hunter part. 10man Heroic will be the most recent but there are 25man heroic as well. UI: http://i.imgur.com/cIAOyMk.jpg Sorry about that. School wont be an issue I would take all day courses so they would never conflict, going to Austin Community College, studying computer programming. South of Heaven stuck out for me cause it reminded me a lot of Monolith which has been my favorite guild and the reason I was in it for so long. You guys seem to have a great community something that lacks in other guilds. Yet you still progress well, the raid schedule isn't 5-7 days a week so it fits my schedule really well.

Hello, never wrote a application like this before so should be interesting my typing can be really terrible at times so hopefully it doesn’t show to badly. Who am I? My name is Eric aka Shoults I am 20 years old and have played WoW since 2005. I am currently waiting till next fall to restart school as I took a break to help my uncle’s company. I enjoy playing video games more then almost everything, with WoW being my number one game to play. When not playing games I watch probably to much anime but I can’t help it. WoW History: I was pretty casual from Vanilla to BC. I mainly just played with real life friends and slowly killed things. In WotLK I wanted to step up in raiding I joined a guild called Soulbound on Llane and went thru all of Naxx-Ulduar with them. In Trial of the Crusader I moved to Anguish on Llane and finished out WotLK with them. Sadly Lich King ended up killing the guild so I joined a friend’s guild for the start of Cata which I ended up leaving half way thru the tier. Some of my friends from Anguish went to Monolith on Llane and I enjoyed playing with them so I joined. I raided with them until half way thru Tier 14. We got all server firsts in Cataclysm but the guild started having recruitment problems and the leadership was getting tired as they had been raiding since Vanilla so we called it quits. I joined Wyze on Blackhand since the GM was a friend from Monolith sadly he ninja transferred and left us all guildless 1 week before Tier 15. Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/blackhand/Shoults/advanced Logs: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-ito1ibai9fxrjjp8/ (from LFR) UI: http://holoshots.imgur.com/all/ (been moving things around still ehhh about it) Just something you will notice is I have no kills on normal or heroic for this tier. The reason being I was offered a job for a couple months in helping my uncle get his new business going, I was originally going to decline since I would’ve had to move to California. But when our GM ditched us and transferred the guild with him it left me without a guild 1 week before the next tier and all the guilds I applied to were declining due to not enough time for a trial before progression. So I took the job and only returned 2 days ago. Anyways I believe I am a strong player in all the guilds I was in I was close to the top in damage, learn boss fights very quickly and good at adapting to situations. Even though big numbers are cool I rather kill a boss then rank any day so I have no problems getting sat or getting the annoying jobs. Let the questions come… =D
