- Do you use a blizzard authenticator? If not, why? Yes i do
- How long have you played WoW: I have been playing wow since Burning Crusade.
- Endgame experience (What bosses have you killed): I have plenty of experience raiding since I've been raiding since Burning Crusade. Most of my experience in raiding progression would have to be Black Temple and Fire Lands. I have done all other content raiding but those would stand out the most to me due to a steady raid group. As for this expansion i have done 7/7 H/N High maul 1/7 M High maul.

Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Artesius, Warlock Demo/Destruction
- Link to Battle.net Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/a ... ius/simple
- Race & why you chose it: Orc. I chose Orc because of the increased damage from pets racial and the Bloodfury racial.
- Professions and why you choose them: Tailoring / Engineering when professions actually mattered i chose these professions because they were the best for my class.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? Demonology, Destruction. I prefer to play Destruction, i did all of Highmaul as Destruction and i am very comfortable with my performance as it. I play Demonology now because the Logs do not lie, Demo is OP as warlock compared to the other specs
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs (include stat priorities and breakpoints): My focus as a Demonology warlock is Intellect first of course then Mastery > Critical Strike = Haste = Multistrike with versatility as my least favored stat. I would want to go with Helm Shoulders Legs and Chest as my tier pieces with the gloves off of Oregorger as my offset piece. Destruction stat priority is Intellect > Critical Strike > Mastery > Multistrike > Haste > Versatility. With destruction i would go Helm Shoulders Chest Gloves as my tier pieces and Legs as my offset piece. There are no break points as a demo/destro warlock anymore.
- Explain your normal rotation and spell/ability priorities:

My rotation as demo are as follows
Pre pot at 5 seconds to pull
Pre cast Soul Fire at 4 seconds to pull
Cast Summon Doomguard (if Bloodlusting on the pull)
Corruption
HoG

Cast HoG when i have 1.5 HoG recharge
Cast 2 SB / MC proc Soul fire between HoG

Cast Felstorm
Cast Shadowbolt as filler

My Rotation for Destruction are as follows

- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving: <Offline> I put too much time and research into my class compared to the other raiders in my guild. I want a progression guild with the same mindset.

- Why Simple Math? How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math? Well i want to raid with Simple math because I've been on this server since BC and know this is a serious progression guild. I used to pug Firelands with you guys in Cata with Artesius. I used to have Grouch on my friends list during that time >.>
- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during a 25-man raid? I run an Intel Core i5-4690k 3.50GHz with 20GB ram and a Geforce GTX 760 that i built. i have 80-110 FPS during 25 man raids. I also use a razer naga Mouse and razer tartarus keypad.

looking at your character you don't really have a lot of kills in any tier.. was this an alt? it looks like you ran through them a few times during farm and that's it, do you think you could deal with stressful progression as well as the (usually) lengthy farm periods afterwards?

- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? Demonology, Destruction. I prefer to play Destruction, i did all of Highmaul as Destruction and i am very comfortable with my performance as it. I play Demonology now because the Logs do not lie, Demo is OP as warlock compared to the other specs

people who play classes with three dps specs should be proficient in all three of them. usually only two are worth-while for raiding during any given tier but do you feel you're knowledgeable of, and able to play all three?

you're quite the gambler - this may get you instantly accepted or denied.

My main during Burning Crusade was named Tyranic (Holy Paladin) He was my main raiding character up till MoP when i switched to my warlock as my main. I can handle stressful progression yes. I did Black temple 25 man when it was current. I understand the time and work it takes to progress endgame content. If you look at my logs, since i have joined the guild <Offline> i have never missed a raid and have always showed up for off day raids, also i pug a lot solo to get more experience.

I have only dabbled in Affliction for PvP this tier. Since affliction has been below my other specs i haven't looked much into it. If for some miracle reason Affliction becomes top dog for warlocks or is necessary for a fight then i have no problem switching to Affliction and learning it. I used to despise Demonology a few weeks back couldn't wrap my head around it, i just read forums/sims and ran heroic trash runs till i felt comfortable. I can do the same for Affliction.
