- Endgame experience (What bosses have you killed): In Burning Crusade I did not raid much, I cleared Karazhan, Gruul's, Mag, and a little bit of Black Temple towards the end of the expansion. In WotLK, I got the Glory of the Raider achievement and had a lot of success in 25 man as well. I cleared Ulduar with various hard modes including Yogg - 1 light, and I was 11/12 heroic mode in ICC. I never got heroic Lich King because I usually like to take breaks before expansions and never got the achievement. Currently in Cata I am 11/12 in 10 man normal modes with only Nef remaining.
Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Azumo - Priest
- Race & why did you choose it: Undead - Will of the Forsaken back when it was good.
- Link to Battle.net Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/smolderthorn/azumo/
- Can you describe the ruckus? Purveyors of enjoyable music and fine internet goods?
- Professions and why did you choose them: Enchanting and Inscription - chose them both specifically for the stat bonuses they provide.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? I'm currently shadow, for my offspec I play both disc and holy. I heal when someone needs to me to heal but that does not happen often.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs: For my shadow set I first like to make sure I'm hit capped at 17%. Spreadsheets and simulators rank intellect above hit in some situations and some theorycrafters do not recommend reforging for hit and to let it come from gear but in my opinion being hit capped is the most important thing for a shadowpriest. If you miss a DoT it is possible to overlook it which really hurts your DPS. In a perfect world where you notice immediately you've missed a spell, maybe I would value other stats over hit; but until then I will remain hit capped. Other than that I prioritize int > haste > crit > mastery, but I do keep in mind that next patch mastery will be getting a bit of a buff to make it about even with crit for shadow priests.
- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why: My prime glyphs are Mind Flay, Shadow Word: Death, and Shadow Word: Pain as those are the glyphs that provide the most DPS increase. Major glyphs are a little more lenient and I use Mass Dispel, Psychic Scream, and Spirit Tap. And minor glyphs do not make a difference.
- If you are applying as a DPS, what is your normal rotation? I start off with a Shadow Word: Pain and then follow up with a Vampiric Touch and a Devouring Plague. After this on most fights I'll pop my shadowfiend unless there is a damage bonus phase soon into the fight or if I know I'll have mana issues. After my DoT's are up I mind flay until I get 1 shadow orb then mind blast to bring up Empowered Shadows. After that it is a priority system. I make sure I keep my dots up refreshing right before the last tick or immediately after the last tick and while also making sure my empowered shadows buff remains at a 100% uptime. If i reach 3 shadow orbs I use mind blast unless I have archangel up in which case I continue to mind flay until I need to refresh empowered shadows. I also make sure before I use archangel after I JUST refreshed empowered shadows and making sure my dots have a long duration left on them in order to maximize my DPS from the mind flay damage increase. Sub 25% I make sure I use double Shadow Word: Death on cooldown unless its a healing intensive phase or I have a huge damage buff; as I don't want to make extra work for the healers or accidentally kill myself.
- Highest PvP Rank on this character (vanilla & arena titles): Rival if I remember correctly, I don't pvp much on my priest I got to 2200 in 3s and 5s in wrath in multiple seasons and duelist as 2600 on my shaman.
- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving: Sacrilege is the guild I'm currently in and was in for most of WotLK and I'm just tired of raids and leadership being so disorganized and having to constantly carry bad players through raids. Also I was promised we would be doing 25 man raids but it seems the officers are far too lazy to coordinate that and bring it together. I have always thought I was good enough for a top guild and I want to act on that now.
