Hey everyone So I had a change of plans, I will be remaining in california for a couple more months, and Ill finish my externship here. This however means I cannot commit to any set schedule due to the unknown factor of possibly being on call I appreciate everyone's time and consideration. And I plan to reapply at a future date after my life settles down, as the Soh community is something I would love to be a part of. I wish you all the best of luck

@ Ashin Alright, tyvm, Ill contact you either thursday, or friday the 16/17th.

I'm available Tuesday, may 7th. As I stated earlier, I'm relocating tuesday, may 14 and due to that, I will not be able to meet that raid week btw, black prince rep is done

Ok, looks like he covered the roster for next week, excluding me, so I should be good to go.

Hey Ashin. As soon as the guild leader comes on I will ask him, If he has made arrangements for me to be replaced next week then I will be good to go.

Yeah, It was 100% my mistake. And thanks for pointing it out. I hope to get a chance to raid with you next week

You make compelling points. And I do understand your concerns. I would like to point out that, traditionally, (untill rppm effects where introduced, calculations had not been added to simcraft/FD) hunters stat priority's where crit>mastery>haste (haste had higher value on sims due to shot shifting) so mastery was the go to enchant on the gloves up till a few weeks ago, then it was a few weeks will top hunters started figuring out the value of haste, since sim's were behind. It was an over sight on my part not looking over enchant with a stat weight change. I just didn't want you thinking I had the wrong enchant the whole time. Besides that. I look forward to speaking with you Saturday And thanks to everyone for the critic on this app, makes me more aware that I always have room to grow

Yeah, I suppose my eating habits where poor. I went out tonight and bought a few stacks of 300 food. I do agree that the best time to use 300 food is when mechanics are worked out and a kill is in sight.

Hey Alaska. I joined reckoning after progression. I did not progress with them, unless you count raids as progression (as they pretty much were) As for covering new fight, I do my best to stay ahead of the curve with fight mechanics, I watch alot of streams, and take the time to watch videos as needed. and keep up on mmo champion for new fight mechanics, changes, etc. I feel I do well under pressure, both in and out of the game, pressure tends to bring out the best in me, making me play at my peak. consistently asking myself what I can do better on each fight. This is one of the reasons I go through 100 or more tombs a week. @strider Thanks for all your feed back and time to look over my app. I appreciate it.

"Yes I agree that you should go haste over crit having all 4( meta, 2 rppm trinkets and 2 pc bonus) Its pretty much like armor pen back in days where it was only worth going this route if you had high end gear. Going back to my question it wasnt that I wanted or asking you why didnt you reforge all haste but why you using mastery over haste on your enchant to gloves, when haste is better than mastery even if you dont have all 4?" -To be honest, I did'nt even realize there was a haste enchant available. I fixed this issue "I was hoping you catch this ,had my fingers crossed. Your using glyph of the stampede on bm but not surv. The problem why your hurting survival is because your using 2 exotic pets that can only be used for bm. Meaning when your in survival spec and pop stampede it will only summon pets that are non exotic so technically your missing out on 2 pets and that is gimping the mechanic of the spell big time. Either use the copy glyph for survival or switch out your exotic pets." - When you pop stamped in a spec that cannot control exotic pets, and you have exotic pets in your stable, copys of your current pet will be used in the place of the exotic pets, so you will always have 4+1 pets summoned. "How come you dont use any stop cast macros?" - I do use stop cast on killshot, I should have linked that, #show Kill Shot /stopcasting /cancelaura Deterrence /cancelaura Hand of Protection /cancelaura Blessing of Protection /cast Kill Shot "Theres few things you didnt mention AMOC, Dire beast, and fervor. As the 1st two ( Amoc and DB) are more dps than GT/barrage" I consider amoc a major cd and did'nt list it as I previously stated. Db would be used on cd ahead of gt. Fervor I use withing 3 secs of it coming off cd, I try to use to either on amoc cd, or at the start of a trinket proc. "Yea but one attempt you died early on the fight , on fight where stuffs on ground why wouldnt you move asap as it plays huge role on fights where you have to watch for stuff on the ground? To tell raid I died because of my camera your going to be ask why did u stay there then and Boss mods should give you warning if your standing in stuff I know BIgs wigs for sure does" I am indeed notified when standing in bad lol, If I remember the attempt I was already low on health when the trap spawned. I honestly believe this was a rare bad luck circumstance that you saw. "Fair enough. But how were you dieing to bats, when there so many ways to avoid it?" -we had 2 hunters running on many of the tortos attempts, head shot was doing all md's while I was doing kicks (md'ing ofc when I could) the only time I died to bats is when I ran barrage, and pulled aggro as they passed by me and I got one shot, or I feigned death and came back up to quickly before aggro was droped. I pvp quite a bit, so its in my instinct to do everything to survive, as I'm sure I did there. "Its not about just bringing dps but the best you can out of your class. The little more you bring it def shines , especially in progression and why settle for lets say 120kdps , when you can be doing 122k dps lets say. Another example what if the boss is at 3-5% health and you lose 75% - 80% of your raid, every little more you have will help at time like this. I know for us we been there couple of times, matter fact our first heroic Tortos kill we had only like handful of people up at 2-3% , every little bit helps and counts." -You make a valid point, I suppose I was looking at what was wiping use rather that what could wipe us.

@Raer I sure hope thats not the case I still need to do lei shen and I have 18 now, So im fairly optimistic. Ok, here is the Ui screenshot: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-jWA6DbXjOqQ/UYLufolsRUI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/bKXafXBE3zs/w1437-h898/WoWScrnShot_050213_153626.jpg I obviously need to change some overlapping issues for 25 man, as I did configure it for 10 man, but you get the general idea.

Hi all. Sorry for the late response @ Evgeny. I might try another ranged class such as a shaman, esp with the glyph change to ele making lightning bolt usable on the move full time @Ashin As I type this I am qued for Lfr, So I will have those screen shots to you momentarly @Fixall Thanks so much for you vote of confidence Brian. It means alot that u took the time to type up @Stridur This might take a few lines to answer all your questions lol. -Currently I am running And amd 955 processor Oc @ 3.8 ghz, amd 6850 1gb graphics card and 12 gb of ddr3 1333mhz ram. When I relocate I will be switching to a different computer. its specs amd 965 processor Oc (will be at 4.0 ghz) antec liquid cooler, ati 5850 1gb, and 8 gb of corsair 1866mhz, 120gb ssd. Armory questions: - Good question. I was talking to kennyloggins about this last week lol. While haste appears to sim over crit for BM, I do not have my meta gem to adequately take advantage of the extra haste. While I have tested it with 2 rppm trinkets and 2 pc. I was not impressed with the reforge. Now running 4 pc and meta soon, This might change. -So I currently have 17 secrets, and 3 bosses I have not killed this week. So I can safely say that I will have my gem next week as for the rep, I had planed on doing what I did with the other rep, and grind the mobs, I took me about 45 mins last time. I will have that done before reset. - Well, as far as I know non of our glyphs have any impact on our dps, while no escape increases crit on a frozen target, its pve implications are extremely limited. Other than that, I can safely say no. (unless you are talking about better movement = higher overall damage etc...) Hunter questions: - I use need to know to track Icd's. Icds that I typically track. 2pc-4pc as needed, both trinkets. as of now the only thing in my gear with an Icd is my weapon enchant, which I do not track. -I use 2 MD macros, One for focus target, the other for a predetermined tank. my arcane shot #show Arcane Shot /cancelaura Blessing of Protection /cancelaura Deterrence /cancelaura Hand of Protection /cast Arcane Shot Simply to cancel those effects without having to click off the buff. Cd macro #show Rapid Fire /cast Rapid Fire /cast Bestial Wrath /cast Blood Fury /use 10 self explanatory - I will list both basic shot priority's without major cd's and generally I use the first set on pull, and the second set for mechanic abuse of execution range Surv -Kill>ss>BA>Ex>Gt/Barrage>Arcane>Cobra Bm - Kill>ss>Bw>Kc>Gt/Barrage>Arcane>Cobra (I use ff at the end of BW after draining all focus) Log questions: - I completely rebuild my Ui a week or so ago to ensure I had no issues with timers etc. To be honest I remember this attempt, and It was simply and oversight on my part. while frag bombs might be a dps increase (I didnt know they where off of icd?) I still prefer the utility of rocket boots, as I can think of dozens of circumstances where they saved me/the whole raid, and limited times its killed me. - The only times I died to horridon to traps was when someone failed a charge, and the tanks had the boss/adds in such an odd location that my camera was stuck in such a location that I could not see my feet lol. I'm sure this has happened to everyone at some point - The only time I recall dieing to rockfall on tortos was generally a sacrifice thing, rocks where landing on the shell I needed to kick and the timer was coming up (this was also before the movement behavior fix) Most of the time people where good about avoiding shells on the ground so rockfall did'nt kill me but those attempts it appears someone had ran over them right before the timer for breath. - I normally would use any/all edges to my advantage on a progression kill. Tortos however was never (for us at least) A dps problem, it was a tanks dieing problem, and it happened so frequently that I would literally have gone broke just with food. However if dps had been the issue, I would have used the food every pull. Well I hope that answers your questions. I'm going to get those screen shots asap.

Hey Fix <3 you, shadow, thats just, awakward. any news on the stream yet? btw stephen is ready to build your page, he wants you to message him.

Out of combat - https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jXKmghMsUFE/UYGaqZqXgpI/AAAAAAAAAU8/Bq5s9vkAZDg/w1437-h898/WoWScrnShot_050113_154122.jpg In combat - https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZH7UFgq2n-8/UYGahr-TE_I/AAAAAAAAAU0/zYfr81J5w7g/w1437-h898/WoWScrnShot_050113_154035.jpg let me know if u need one from a raid, I literally just rebuilt my UI in the last week, So I don't have a raid pic ready. Yeah stridur, Vye was around, in mumble and such, I did not get a chance to raid with him. Well let me know what u find in the logs! And I pvp quite a bit outside of raid times, thanks for giving me a chance to respec real quick.

Hi Ashin I totally understand your concern. I have like your slefs had my fair share of disagreements with some guildies/officers and NEVER reacted in that manner. Every guild I have raided in makes you accountable for your actions, and yes in reckoning while varnius was not relly the type to yell, he was the first to call people out on there shit. I am they type of person to voice that I made a mistake and how I plan to fix it before it is brought to me. I appreciate critizism for what it is, and I have growen as a player because of it. What made me so "raw" I suppose was the fact that I felt like I was being taunted, without recourse, by and officer of the guild, and after weeks of guild drama, and the issues going unchecked by grammaton, I suppose I felt traped. again, this is not something I have ever done, nor plan to do, and while I was responsible ultimately for making the decision for walking away, this action was a collection of weeks of mismanagment/anger built up, and could have easily been avoided.
