Give a time and I'll be there

Not sure how they went private, I just changed them to public. As far as barkskin is concerned, perhaps I used poor taste in words. I kinda got thrown into the whole raid leader role so what I meant to say is I just did not think of barkskin that often. HOWEVER, I will make sure that I focus on it doing it from here forward. Should I make it into this guld it will be a ton easier to focus on the things that matter when I'm able to just sit back and actually enjoy raiding.

Thanks for the time to read through the logs I'll try to break it down the best that I can. Howdy Mike: I'm Fulg! You stole my application format! You seem like a good guy, so I'll let that slide. First off, thank you for putting some time into your application. It's good to see personality and effort. As Mork mentioned, we'll definitely want to see a screenshot of your UI in raid combat. It shows a lot about a person to see what add-ons they're using (or not using), key bindings, etc. I went ahead and found your epeenbot: http://raidbots.com/...nd/evilsquirél/ Based on your most recent post, this appears to be from your old guild. I definitely understand about a raid leading past. I RL'ed for over two years and we have several raiders with similar (if not more) experience there. As I'm sure you have seen from other posts, I'm not concerned about perfect play. I want to see the basics of boomchickens down pat, I want to see solid survivability across the board, correct usage of offensive and defensive CDs and even some utility spell usage. With that background set, let's evaluate some of your logs! I'm going to go ahead and start by using your most recent logs and then some of your older 25m ones. 5/7 H Jin: 91.7% / 88.1% uptimes, not the best for this type of fight. You're using NV, which I usually will bombard people about (it's really simply not very good any more), but given that the fight only lasted four minutes for your guild, it's a little excusable. I do not think the difference between HotW and NV is going to be all that much for you. I see no potion usage at all. What gives? I prepot and for I can honestly say that I rarely remember that second time around. I wish you could see the prepots b/c you would see I do that for every attempt. I understand this is a farm fight, but always use your DPS CDs! I'm a little concerned about the fact that you're staying in Eclipses for a very long time. I'm guessing this is during the Ball Lightning phases, were you out of range of the boss? The strat is built around an every man for themselves but stay on one side of the room for the healers. I tell everyone i'm more concerned about you living then I am your dps at this time. Only one use of Barkskin, you did use Tranquility, and no use of Stampeding Roar. Do you usually wait for your RL'er (if it's not you) to call out these abilities or do you use them proactively? My tranq is scheduled for the second lightning storm phase and the way we have it set up to get out of the puddle there is no need for a roar. 5/7 H Horridon wipes: Looking at overall survivability, and yours is near the bottom of your raid team. It looks like you died several times from face-tanking mobs (I've been known to do this on occasion) and died to Dire Call several other times. Evaluating one of those attempts, I see that you did not pop any defensive CDs at all during the fight. In fact, looking at your entire night of Horridon wipes...you used Barkskin exactly zero times. You're using Tranquility a lot, you're using Solar Beam correctly, but not popping this essential defensive ability even once. Very perplexing. As you might imagine, I also confused about using NV here. Can you tell me why you decided to go with it over HotW? Your DoT uptimes are all over the map as well. Horridon was a shit show as we were trying to get use to the 10 man version of this. I believe I use my renewal quite often but yes I have never been a fan of barkskin but I will focus more on using it. The reason for the NV over the HOTW was for the little bit of extra healing (the healers were struggling) and a little bit of extra bust especially for the priests. I have no issue swapping to HotW or w/e you see fit for each fight. 5/8 N Megaera: Just looking at another "easy" fight for DoT uptimes and defensive CD use. Your DoT uptimes are, quite frankly, very bad. 78.5% / 76.6%. As an example, on our Heroic Megaera kill this week, I was more than 10% higher on both DoTs and obviously had to compete with a lot more of the mechanics going on. I'm sure this would be higher if I were to dot both the heads that are up but I don't simply b/c I believe it is a dps loss and waste of gcds. What are you using to track your DoTs? don't laugh but I use mage nuggets which lets me know if my current target does not have any dots and also shows the time remaining for dots on that target and I use Tidy Plates to see the time left on my targets that is over their head. This is why a UI screenshot is so important. 2 uses of Barkskin only (for I believe 4 or 5 rampages). I'll say to your credit that your survivability on your Heroic Tortos attempts on 5/8 was the second-best in your raid group. Older 25m logs incoming: 4/16 H Jin: 88.6% / 87.6%. Mehhhhhh, still not close to our magic 95% threshold. Busy looking at my spreadsheet to call the groups where they need to go. Good CD usage, other than again no potion. Pre-pot and didn't get a second round of cds i believe. Only one use of Barkskin again. i thought i used more than that on quills but logs don't lie. I will make it a habit to use it more often. Unfortunately, this is all I have time to glance at, as dinner must be prepared before raid time tonight for us. Overall, I have some concerns that I seemingly have with a lot of boomkin apps: you're largely getting the "grand scheme" of things, but not executing them to a degree that is necessary for heroic and progression raiding. I'd really like to know why you're using NV so much, for instance. Creature of habit I suppose. From looking at other postings on the wow forums the different fights can go either way on using NV or HOTW. I have everything macro'd to work together to get the maximum dps out of it. But beside all of those concerns...what makes you stand-out as a boomkin? All I can say is I'm fairly knowledgable of the game and multiple classes. I'm a quick thinker Give me a parse or an example that really shows what you're all about. It doesn't even need to be DPS-related. What is going to separate you from any other applicant or boomkin? i'm not stubborn and would listen to everything you had to say to be the best I could. I also play league And if you really think that the RL'ing has had a negative impact (there's no denying that it can)...run a LFR and post the logs from it. Ultimately, our judgment of your logs will only get us so far, as you probably know. But I think I'm personally looking to see a boomkin that exhibits at least a few logs that shows he or she "gets it" with being a boomkin and puts the whole package (DPS, defensive, utility) together. I will have this for you by tonight. Thanks for applying and good luck with the rest of your application!

I was in the Marine Corps from 2002 - 2007. Made it up to Sergeant, had a blast but due to some family shit I had to get out. I would have stayed in.

Cool Story Bro is still around...not so much Insomniacs

Yes I have seen through previous people's posts that you love logs lol. http://worldoflogs.com/guilds/133631/calendar/04-13/ Before April 16th http://worldoflogs.com/guilds/272658/ OUr lil 10 man The reason why I didn't post them earlier and was hesitant is because I have been raid leading for the past, I don't know how many months. Its safe to say you may miss a rotation etc due to watching timers, calling people out, and directing everyone. Not making excuses but know that I would be better than the logs show numbers wise.

That isn't my name lol that was just my username for these forums. My name is evilsquirel but I'll have to come up with a new name if I get accepted. 1. What is your favorite color? - Blue 2. Do you drink? my drinking days are far and few in between 3. Do you PVP? - I have taken last season and this season off, it just seems like the same ol' shit year after year. (Sorry if you are a pvp'r) World PVP I don't mind at all though. 4. How do you feel about combining alcohol & PVP? - alcoholPVP. The word doesn't really make sense. Just kidding, whatever floats your boat but for me if I'm drinking I'm sure as hell not gonna be sitting in my house at a computer desk. 5. Can you crack a walnut with your glutes? - Is this a "Do you lift" reference? lol. I try to keep nuts out of my ass sorry

Character Name: Evilsquirél (Alt 0233) Spec: Moonkin Real Name: Mike Age: 31 Armory: http://us.battle.net...quirél/advanced A little about me!!! In west Philadelphia born and raised, On the playground where I spent most of my days, Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school, When a couple of guys, they were up to no good, Started making trouble in my neighbourhood, I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, And said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air" I whistled for a cab and when it came near the License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror, If anything I could say that this cab was rare, But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air! Work at the department of transportation in DC for a section called FMCSA. 4 kids, 1 wife, 1 dog (dog is separate from the wife, just clarifying) Why am I applying? Well we all make wonderful mistakes in this game. I was in a 25 man guild named VEX on Gorefiend. During HOF our raid leader/ guild leader quit and went on to greener pastures. The officer that took over just wasn't quite the same guy. We suffered through Tier 14 and during that time I was doing 10 man's on the weekend to actually progress. My 10 man was able to clear 14/14hm (we would do different instances each week to not mess up the 25 man) while the 25 was stuck on 9. We started to struggle this tier so a bunch of us decided to make a 10 man. Everything was lined and the GM already knew about it. However what we didn't know is he was begging people to stay and while 8 of us left the others decided to stay practically screwing up our 10 man. O well life goes on. We tried to scrap a few people together but we have come to the conclusion it would be better if we just scratched it all together and find different guilds. Phew *stretching fingers*1 My history of the game? I have played this game since UBRS was a 10 man. In other words I am a Vanilla baby and have played it since then. When I think back to past progression I have cleared every instance that came at me with the except of 2. Tier 3 Naxx (There just wasn't enough time to complete it), and Sunwell. I'm not sure why Mount Hyjal isn't showing up in my history but I did that when it was current also. I also am an old school general where you had to grind point after point each week to get your ranks. I am currently only 1/13HM but have experience on 5/13HM. I understand you guys may be further but I know these fights, I have watched them all dozens of times and I am a great listener and quick learner. Why <South of Heaven>? There are two main reasons. Number 1 - Ashin wrote "And we are desperately seeking our moonkin. Make my dreams come true?". How can you say no to that. I'm not here to make someone upset and ruin their dreams lol. Number 2 - The 9 hours per week is really exciting. I'm not a big fan of 6 days a week bashing your head in until you finally get the shit down. I have a life, I have a family, I like to see the sun, the moon, and the stars. And I also like my weekends. What do I play? I have played all four specs of this class, through the years, and have loved them all. Nothing has taken my breath away quick like my boomkin though. When wow first came out I wanted to play something that could play multiple roles. However I was such a noob that I didn't know you could change specs, so I ended up leveling my druid up as resto, and no I didn't dungeon grind. I played resto because moonkin wasn't really viable and Feral did not have the gear. Eventually feral became a little viable during BWL but I still stayed resto. At some point I went into kitty and then followed it up with tanking but for the past few years I have been a moonkin trying to learn this craft. Many people think a boomkin is an easy class to play. Well technically it is, all classes are easy, but a boomkin is hard to master. You have to properly line your cd's up to make them effective otherwise you just wasted them. Miscellanious? I enjoy reading logs and trying to better myself, I know you have a boomkin already in FulgShift so I will always be looking at both of ours to see how I can better myself and perhaps work together to get the most dps (with survivability) that we can. Thanks for reading application. I look forward to your questions. In case you didn't notice this is the same format as FulgShift....Us boomkins have to stick together...0 points for originality I know Edit: Almost forgot Real ID: Evilsquirél#1845
