Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Chris - Death Knight
- Race & why did you choose it: I would prefer Orc, but for progression would most likely go Tauren for the increased HP.
- Link to Battle.net Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/a ... ayy/simple
- Can you describe the ruckus? A disturbance; a commotion. Both of which I do my best to never cause.
- Professions and why did you choose them: Engineering. Love the tinkers and the activated dodge CD is a nice combo in Vampiric Blood. Blacksmithing. The extra mastery gems are very nice.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? I have it, I don't often play Frost/Unholy, except maybe occasionally to do dailies, but I usually do those as Blood also.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs: At this time, I reforge for a set amount of exp/hit just to do some damage, because I find the bosses that I have done currently, allow for me to do so. If I had issues with a boss, I would reforge out of those into more mitigation stats (dodge/parry). Currently my reforge set up is Mastery/Hit (7.5%)/Exp (7.5%)/Parry/Dodge. I try to find pieces of tank gear with a high amount of mastery on it.
My frost spec is hardly used. But I have it set up for 2H frost which is Str/Hit (cap)/Exp (dodge cap)/Haste/Crit/Mastery.
- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why:
I use AMS/Death Coil/Vampiric Blood. I chose AMS because the magic absorb is amazing for fights where heavy magic damage is a main mechanic. In addition, it's short cd and ability to completely fill an RP bar is very effective. I chose the VB glyph mostly because the extra health doesn't help as much as the healing. I believe the only fight I unglyphed it for was H-Deathwing because the HP was needed for impales. The last glyph is a filler. The reason I'm not using Dancing Rune Weapon is because the extra threat isn't really needed at the moment, and some more damage always helps. I would use this glyph if snap threat was an issue.
My dps glyphs at the moment are PvP glyphs. For DPS glyphs I would use AMS for the same reasons as stated above. I would use Death Grip and Pestilence as my other glyphs. Death Grip in combination with the minor glyph that removes the taunt would be good for fight such as Lei Shi during the add phase. Pestilence helps in AoE dps situation and spreading blood plague despite how little damage it does.
- If you are applying as a DPS, what is your normal rotation? N/A
- If you are applying as a healer, what spells do you use & when/why? N/A
- Highest PvP Rank on this character (vanilla & arena titles):
Duelist! Yeah...I'm a badass. I have Lieutenant Commander in RBG's.
- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving: Not sure how far back you want this to go. The reason for leaving my current guild is because raiding 12 hours a week and having people showing up just to hit bosses and ignore mechanics wears thin after a while. During new bosses, the officers pretty much wing strats and often contradict each other and while I have tried (I am an officer) to get meetings set up before raids, they almost never show or make meaningful contributions. After giving it 2 months, it has only gotten worse. In addition to this, I enjoy raiding and would to continue doing it with like minded people. I enjoy playing alts and we can't get a good alt raid going over here. Progress is a little slower than I feel it should be.
Before Contingency I was in a guild with some RL friends and they quit raiding and I joined Contingency.
Before that I raided with WoW friend in T11 and that fell apart also.
T10 - I raided with Redefined until they stopped raiding due to burnout on H-LK.
If you'd like me to go farther let me know, but my memory gets fuzzy after this.

- Alts & their name/level: Newaahh 90 and leveling a prot paladin.
- Out of game contact information (AIM/MSN/etc): [email protected] and I would give officers my phone number for text messages.
- How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math?: WoWprogress.com. No, I don't believe so.
- Why Simple Math? Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? I like the way you presented yourself in your statement on wowprogress. You all work toward a common goal and you raid hard. I like that and want to be a part of it. In addition, I feel like I will be pushed to be a better player and not settle for mediocrity like I have in my last guild.
- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during a 25-man raid?
I use a computer I built on ibuypower. I just recently bought a new one from there and it will be here probably before Christmas.
Current PC: Intel i7 975 3.33GHz, 12 gigs of RAM, and 3 nVidia 285 GTX's

This will change as I am moving home and I have better internet there.
- Finally, we ask that you draw us a picture using MS Paint. (This is not optional).
Honestly surprised they weren't in that fight.
