Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Serenîty -- Troll
- Race & why did you choose it: I chose Troll simply because Berserking is an amazing racial. Haste is Substantial to a Mage, any caster infact.
- Link to Armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... en%C3%AEty
- Can you describe the ruckus? Watch your tone young man watch it.
- Professions and why did you choose them: I chose Jewelcrafting and Engineering as my professions. My reason for choosing Jewelcrafting was the Gems. +39 sp > +23 sp. From having 3 jewelcrafting gems I gained 48 extra Spellpower which is also a substantial stat for a mage. I chose engineering for the Haste every 1 minute, and I use that to my advantage. The haste gives me constant uptime and increases my dps.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? Arcane 57/3/11. I play this spec whenever there is not a Retribution paladin in the raid group. I do this for the 3% damage. Although this spec cannot compete with Fire, the raids comp and benefits are more important than my personal DPS.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs: For my Fire set, I go for gear with Spirit, Hit, Crit before looking at gear with Haste. I try to evenly optimize my gear so that I am above 45% Crit over 800 haste while still over 3100 SP so that my stats even out. I also make sure I am at 14% hit rating so I am capped and I have a few off Hit pieces for Fire incase there is no Shadow Priest or Boomkin in the raid. For my OS which is Arcane I go for gear loaded with hast and SP. Haste along with SP is one of the most substantial stats for arcane. I make sure I have 8% hit rating being that I will be capped with talents. I have gear to give myself 11% hit incase there is no Shadow Priest or Boomkin in raid.
- What Glyphs do you use for each spec and why: For my main spec (Fire) I use Glyph of Fireball, Glyph of Living Bomb and Glyph of Molten Armor. My reasoning for these glyphs are as followed. The Glyph of Molten Armor grants an additional 20% of my spirit as critical strike rating. Critical strike is a very important stat to a fire mage due to our talent Ignite, with Ignite a mages Critical strikes from Fire damage spells causes the target to burn for an additional 40% of your spells damage. Next I use Glyph of Fireball simply because it reduces the cast time of my Fireball ability giving me more uptime because im able to cast more Fireballs then I would be had I not had that glyph. Lastly, I use Glyph of Living Bomb because the damage from my living bomb can be critical strikes which brings Ignite back into play and Living Bomb is almost ALWAYS up on the boss. For my offspec I use Glyph of Molten Armor almost the same reason as Fire. The critical strike is substantial to a caster DPS. I use Glyph of Arcane Missles and Glyph of Arcane Blast. I use Glyph of Arcane Blast because it increases the damage of the buff by 3% which is effective to my DPS and Lastly I use Glyph of Arcane Missles because it increases the Critical Strike of that ability by 25% which is crucial to an Arcane Mages DPS. While some people find minor glyphs unimportant. I use Glyph of Fire Ward, Glyph of Frost Ward and Glyph of the Penguin. My reason being is I actively use those abilities, (i.e) Frost Ward on Sindragosa, Fire Ward for Halion, Big Bang (Algalon) Polymorph for Lady Deathwisper as well as CC.
- If you are applying as a DPS, what is your normal rotation?
Abbreviation Bank: LB = Living Bomb, FB = Fireball, MI = Mirror Images, PB = Pyroblast
I start off the fight with a LB then I pop MI to avoid ripping threat also the increased damage from my 4 piece. I spam FB until PB procs. I try to cast FB with an instant PB. I use Combustion when my Phylactery procs or when ive hit 9 stacks with DFO. All in all I keep LB on the boss at all times spam FB until PB procs. I use Invisibility as soon as MI wares off to avoid any unneeded complications. I make sure to use my Haste enchant on my gloves every minute to have constant uptime.
- If you are applying as a healer, what spells do you use & when/why? N/A (not a healer)
- Highest PvP Rank on this character (vanilla & arena titles): Unfortunately I do not really enjoy PvP on my mage. I do attend battle grounds every now and then because PvP definitely helps improve raid awareness contrary to what people may think.

(these were my decent fights. I will admit I did not try my hardest. After attending raids for 2 months that are nothing but drama filled garbage.. with people who don’t care or properly pull their weight. . raiding becomes boring and effortless) BUT I can promise 100% that I will pull my weight an try to perform to the best of my ability.

- How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math?: I was browing the forums and came across a post from someone in your guild and was very interested. Unfortunately I do not know anyone.
- Why Simple Math? Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? I’m choosing to apply to Simple Math because I am lookin for a dedicated, hardcore raiding guild that is able to stick it out through the summer attendance boss and the omg break before expansion boss. Simple Math has the current progression that I’ve been trying to be apart of for so long, and I feel that this guild can become a permenant home for my character through the rest of WoTLK and Cata.. also more to come. I’d like to add in that I am a Dedicated raider, I will always be prepared! You can expect 100% attendance from me I will never be absent or even late unless it’s the worse possible case and theres a death, power outage, Im really sick or my computer blows up. I have full knowledge of fights ahead I read up on fights and my class. Im always lookin for ways to improve my DPS and be a better addition to any raid. That being said, I look forward to hearing from you guys soon and hopefully being a future raider. Thank you for taking the time to read my app.
