Rizor

Backing out of my application, thanks for the consideration.

Well you basically answered your own question, The Question being In what Situations would each individual talent provide a particular advantage or strength over the other. But that question is based on the individuals ability to process and handle his/her surroundings, You have to assume that not all of us "humans" are exactly alike, some of us have higher intellect and a faster analytical way of processing situations so what might seem to be a crazy impossible way of doing things, might just be a walk in the park for someone else, But thinking that way brings us to the point that; THAT person is some how superior then me and unfortunately as humans our pride kicks in and doesn't want to believe in such ridiculous notions. Its true, I know for a fact I'm not even close to being the best Blood deathknight on the planet, In my growing age its easier for me to accept things like this and just try my hardest to perform at my highest level and hope that I'm not far off from being some what adequate to that Number one guy. So as you can see, BT may in fact be the best talent for one person but might be the worst for someone else. the Minor mathematics numbers have come to the conclusion that BT is in fact the top dog down to the base percentage but that would require top of the line gameplay.

Pretty much sing 5 piece actually lol, So far its the only gearing option that i've come across,..Although I do enjoy the extra Runic power from the 4pc from time to time, I'm only under the expertise cap by 0.16% Just took a look at my log for primodius from last night and my auto attack got parried twice and a heartstrike once, If it came down to where those 3 attacks where in fact game breakers then I would reforge and get completely capped. I have kind of grown accustomed to use vampiric blood in conjunction with Zandalari fortitude trinket, So I don't use it on cooldown, My bloodshield stays high because fights like Magera and Durumu or any fight that I off tank I like to build up this bloodshield buffers prior to each phase transition so when I go into the fight and the bosses/mobs become reactive and attack me I have this Nice 900k bloodshield for the start of each phase, I'll also more then likely continue to stack on the shield untill It drops below 300k in which ill wait to take some damage before going back into the tanking rotation. As far as my boneshield use, Like Simetrik boneshield is a defensive cooldown like any other. so Pooling it for use on high damage phases is key to staying alive. for example, during the beam phase on durumu Ill use a combination of boneshield Because my stacks are getting high and we single tank that fight., Antimagic shell because im taking Magic damage from soaking the beam damage, and Vampiric blood to counter the affects of the Mortal strike debuff during that phase.typically near the end of the beam phase ill receive a blessing of protection and use a cancel aura macro, and continue the fight this normally happens right around the end of when my cooldowns are fading so its a smooth transition. I summon my ghoul out when I know there's going to be a high damage/Hectic phase for healers coming, that way I don't have a global in between living and dying, If i get low or go into perdition mode I can instantly sacrifice the pet and save the day. Healing in 10man is spikey at best, Unlike 25man you don't have 6-10 healers pummeling you with healing, But more strategically placed heals.

I agree with you wholeheartedly and More then happy to learn from any errors or miscalculations that I've put forward, Anything that makes me a better player is always a good thing, Also thank you for taking the time in answering Esta question on my application, I agree any RC would be the best if we had a boss fight like Sinestra or anything with a static haste bonus, but I based all my numbers on my flat stats, and since im using tanking gear and not dps gear I have no haste bonus's. Being in a 10 man guild you don't always end up with all the buffs either, so sometimes you don't have attack speed.

*nod* Yes I see what you're saying, And In fact i actually gem and gear exactly how i've always gemmed and geared throughout the game, and that is to Live,Survive. I dont use dps trinkets or gem strength/haste/crit, I gem pure mastery with some minor avoidance hybrid gems for decent socket bonus's My abilities that I use to mitigate damage in 10 man would match up perfect for a 25man scenario. I KNOW when Im going to get hit hard and if I cant recovery via Deathstrike in time I know its best to use my precognitive tank thinking and pop the various cooldown or cooldowns that I would other wise need to survive an incoming attack. be that a Breath of magic Id use AMS, a hard physical strike Use icebound fortitude, a Mortal strike affect Id use vampiric blood. Using my toolset to counter said affects which would greatly increase my survivability. I started tanking through naxx25, Uldaur25 (mmmm unbreakable armor How I miss you),and ToC25norm/toc25Hard/toc10norm/ToC10hard (got tribute to insanity here too) Tanked Normal and hard 10/25 Heroic Lich King on both, with a Shadowmourne, Did not raid for BWD or BoT came back and tanked 10man Heroic Firelands 5/6 Prenerf Heroic Dragonsoul 10man. For the start of Mist's I raided as a Mistweaver monk for a guild called Unholy Trinity I raided with them cleared heroic content as a healer all throughout 5.0-5.2, Which is when I realize 5 night 5 hours each night raiding just was not for me. I stuck with them till the end of Heroic Empress cleared that And joined the 10man on burning blade Called Lowered Expectations (the one i talked about earlier with the GM that got banned for botting) I healed with them all the way up to Heroic Sha of Fear, when our Brewmaster up and decided to quit, So I dusted off my Level 90 DK who has done zero Content this whole expack and got in and Did what I do best that tank the shit out of Heroic sha of fear. My main But since I was so ridiculously undergeared we thought our a strategy that would best fit my gear level and that was just to taunt and take the nakeds. Every single naked I would stack a max bloodshield take the naked debuff get hit. bloodshield absorb and the other tank would taunt back. Some how our strategy worked and we got that son of a bitch down prenerf. and the rest is History. I have focused my Deathknight as my main ever since that point. I Have to drive home now, So Ill try and continue this post when I get home from work. thanks

I prefer the solidity of Blood tap, when I know I'm going to take a massive hit, I like having the ability to not only instantly stack a 900k bloodshield to absorb the next few hits but heal myself up, the other two talent options are so random you never really know when it's going to happen and when it does its a huge surprise . So it comes down to micro management of runes. you either like doing it or you dont. Totally forgot to answer your other questions, Rizorqt the Person, I live in southern California (yes attending this years Blizzcon) I have a steady job and a house with a few roommates, My hobbies include Tabletop Board games, TCG's, and other various video games, I'm not an out doors type of human Solitude and seclusion are my vices, My life as a person is really really simple.

I can understand what you're saying, I'm not one to boast about my own ability perhaps I can do something better, I've noticed that the two other most resent death knight tank apps Have chosen to use Runic corruption as their rune recharge talent, Maybe this might give you some insight in the knowledge that I have about my class.Also if the other DK's are reading this I hope you also take this not as a slant against you but a learning opportunity. Blood Tap 2 Death Runes = 10 Blood Taps = 5 Rune Strikes = 5*30 Runic Power = 150 Runic Power per additional Death Strike. This is a static value which does not depend on RNG at all. Compared to Runic Empowerment and Runic Corruption, it also allows to buffer Death Strikes to use more of them very quickly when needed. Runic Empowerment Assuming you're able only to have FU-runes on CD, so Runic Empowerment would never activate a Blood Rune at all: 45% proc chance to get half a Death Strike. So on average you get 0,45*0,5 = 0,225 Death Strikes per Rune Strike, meaning 1/0,225 = 4,44 Rune Strikes per Death Strike, aka 133,33 Runic Power per additional Death Strike on average. More effective throughput than Blood Tap, but random-based and without the option to buffer Death Strikes. Runic Corruption Here we can completely ignore Blood Runes and just look at FU-runes. 45% chance (even though by thousands of tries tell me it's more like 41%) to get 5 seconds of rune-regeneration within 2,5 seconds. So each time it proccs, it gives you 2,5/8,33 = 0,3 Death Strikes. 45% of the time, which means 0,45 * 2,5/8,33 = 0,135 Death Strikes per Rune Strike on average. So you need 1/0,135 = 7,41 Rune Strikes and thus about 222,13 Runic Power per additional Death Strike. Do not confuse this with natural rune generation though - lots of people make this mistake. In addition, my tests indicate that it actually only procs with a 41% chance, which means: if that's not just a long-term fluctuation on my tests (tried it several thousand times so far), this makes Runic Corruption even worse, increasing the amount of Runic Power per Death Strike to 243,8. But let's stay with 45% anyway to compare those three talents. Conclusion Blood-Tap: 150 Runic Power per Death Strike + option to temporarily buffer survivability Runic Empowerment: 133,33 Runic Power per Death Strike on average (RNG based) Runic Corruption: 222,13 Runic Power per Death Strike on average (RNG based) So maths tell us, Runic Corruption is BY FAR the worst rune regeneration talent if you want as many resources as possible for additional Death Strikes. Even if RC was influenced by Haste coming from our Blood Presence, regenerating 3 instead of 2,5 additional seconds within the 2,5 seconds it lasts each time, this reduces the amount of Runic Power per additional Death Strike only to 1 / (0,45*3/8,33) * 30 = 185,11. It would still be worse than the other two talents.

1. Its hard for me to determine the reason's why you should pick me over the other app's For all I know they could very well be better players then me. But what I do know is that at the end of reading the entire Wowprogress recruitment post at the end it stated you didn't want a copy and past intro about some generic number of worldoflogs, I posted that story to stand out amungst the crowd of Applicants so that I would be chosen. 2.I've tanked in both 25 man/10man enviroments so I don't really follow what you mean by more demanding, if anything its going to be less demanding of me. Being the only battlerez in my current guild I sometimes have to not only tank the boss but travel great distances while manuvering the bosses frontal cone or pbaoe damaging attacks away from teammates while travel to the dead player and then use my runic power to rez said player, then move back into position so that person doesn't get gibbed when they rez, 25mans seem to have much much more as far as solutions for problems, More people equal more options which equal easier solutions. 3.the only real fight i've been capable of being a true blood deathknight is Durumu and perhaps Primodius, any fight that I can solo tank can allow me the ability to use perfect Deathstrike/bloodshield mitigation. My co tank being a prot paladin in pure haste dps gear , Is nearly impossible to keep threat against, which prevents me from using an active rotation of taking a significant amount of damage before deathstriking so that I can accumulate a giant bloodshield. http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-asu1m1dco7zlcwl4/analyze/hd/source/?s=2905&e=3194 you can analyze all my logs here.

"Please note that I have told you everything you need to write an amazing intro post. I like to be romanced. If you come at me with a generic cut-and-paste, or some cheap two-liner, I will assume you didn't read this." <---WITH THIS IN MIND. First thing, Im not a Homosexual, Nor do i have any problems with homosexuals or their views, With that said,This is me attempting to romance Jynks,now let me start my recruitment app story.(also Im a guy 29 year old guy, that works, a job, OK STARTING!) Second thing, This post might be rated pg-13 so if you're a little sensitive to sensual talk then go ahead and skip to the divided line portion of this post, thank you. "Rizor!" arrived promptly and discreetly and, to be honest, when I opened the door to her she looked more attractive than I had hoped or expected. She was wearing a White frosty challenge mode armor and when I took it from her she revealed a very tight little black tabard that fitted her curvy orc body perfectly. I offered her a drink and she asked for the blood of my first born, but when I looked at her puzzled she smiled and said water will be just fine. I had the same and the chilled "fizz" remained in the fridge as we drank iced water from champagne flutes. We sat on the big sofa chatting for a short while and exchanged nervous small talk for a few minutes. Eventually I explained how this was my first time with an Deathknight and she assured me that she would take care of me.... She inquired what I would like her to do and after pretending to think about it, I asked if she would perform a some fighting techniques. She smiled as her cool dead glowing eyes piercing right into me, she stood up and slowly began to move provocatively grabbing her big battle axe swinging it carefully to the chosen background music that was playing. She started tentatively and as she seemed to relax, she began to writhe and gyrate sensuously. She faced me and brushed against me, lifted her tabard slightly and then leaned her breasts towards my face and I found the stiffness in my trousers to be more than slightly uncomfortable. The dance continued and she began to rub herself more and more completely fulfilling every inch of that item level 538 body, cupping her breasts and squeezing them in front of my eyes. She slowly pulled her tabard off to allow her breasts to be free and I was mesmerized by their beautiful round shape and the size of those great green melons: I asked if I could lick them and she said no and slapped my hand away. I was in shock!, she smiled and turned away she seemed a little down on her luck. I asked her"Is everything ok?". She then turned around and straddled on top of me. Running her big strong orc fingers through my hair grabbing it and yanking my head back. She announced "No Jynks, my guild Nebula is falling apart, strife and anger has all but filled my raiders hearts. One of my healers has already threatened to leave, he posted on the forum boards announcing his two week notice." As she gets up she slaps me fiercely on my face, "I just....I just don't know what to do" . She spin's around and swings her axe into my ceiling,, I clench! as she then proceeds to grab a hold of the handle and pull her self up and grasp the handle with just her thick muscular thighs. she hangs up side down with gracefully smiling at me so vigorously, "I just transferred to this area this last march, Leaving my old area burning blade behind me as it slowly faded away into a low population zone, when I transferred her I was picked up by nebula and things where just great. Well problems do happen and some people are more serious then others. I know we've just met but I've been training as a Deathknight since the riots of the lich king, those bad times I knew a girl like me had to learn how to defend herself. I've equipped myself with the latest gadgets Vuhdo,Elvui,Bigwigs,Weak aura's,skada, all the favorites for being aware at all times, Active continuous raiding has made me a competent person going all the way back to my first job as a priest, Raiding MC BWL Ony up to doing M'uru the worst boss on the planet EVER. :As she wings back down landing feet first on the couch her legs spread open above me, her tabard flowing in the cool wind of my oscillating fan,then suddenly she jumps off, grabbing her armor and reequipping it. "So Jynks I'm not sure whats going to happen to nebula but if one of my main healers leave its going to be tough for the guild to recover..." She then leans over with a breastplate full of big bouncy green breasts and grabs my chin and then whispers, "I might need a new home to stay so give me a call anytime /wink" There she goes.... Sexiest damn deathknight ever just walked right out of my door... The end, OR IS IT???? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For people who TL;DR, you're missing out Battletag:Rizor#1911 Name:Rizorqt Class:Deathknight Level: 90 Specifacation:Blood Item Level :538 Faction:Horde Server:Stormreaver Timezone:PST Current Progression:10/13 Twitch.tv/rizor Should have public sessions: Sort summary of my wow life: Played since day one pretty much on burning blade (remember seeing you guys there at one point , Was originally a priest all through vanilla and burning blade, Then switched to DK during wrath till now. Played in both 10/25 environments . My situation: Nebula is having issues not sure what is going to happen but I'd like to assess my options, I don't hop around guilds, it takes a guild death to typically get me to leave, Which is what happened on burning blade, Guild leader got banned for botting GM's girlfriend who is also a raider quit as well, 2 people leaving a 10man is pretty crushing especially on low pop burning blade. I'm a decent player that has fun and spends the majority of his free time on wow. I spent a good solid 90 mins editing and rewriting segments, so I am serious. thank you for your consideration.
