Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Nykez Druid
- Race & why did you choose it: Troll; Racial bonus is best for casters.
- Link to Battle.net Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/shadow-council/Nykez/simple
- Can you describe the ruckus? Think you forgot sir in that quote.
- Professions and why did you choose them: Leatherworking and Blacksmithing; I chose LW for the bracer enchant and being able to make my own Leather pieces when they were actually decent. I chose BS for the 2 extra sockets. I have been debating on going Engineering and Tailoring as those two seem to be the best but all the sims I have run between the two have been phantasmal impact on my DPS.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? Balance is the spec I have played since I started playing WoW. I would prefer to play nothing but balance but in the off chance I’m needed for something else I could learn quickly how to resto druid. I played feral as my OS for most tiers but was rarely called upon to raid as it unless we had tanks absent.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs: Balance Stats are Haste (to5273)>Hit=spirit>Crit>Haste (post breakpoint)>Mastery. Given my lack of gear I am still able to hit that haste breakpoint of 5273 with the next one if I was to get 4 piece T14 it’s 8089 since our 4 piece adds on 2s to our dots. Without T14 4 piece my next haste breakpoint would be around 10.3k. I usually go for pieces with hit/crit or spirit/haste and reforge for haste/crit respectively. Depending on gem slots I would still be stacking Pure int gems, Pure crit gems and int/crit gems based on the sockets etc.----- I’ll get back to you on other specs when I read up a little more on feral, resto and guardian for this xpac.
- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why: Major glyphs I use Stampede, Moonbeast and Rebirth, Stampede so I don’t have to shapeshift back to moonkin form, Moonbeast so I can offheal when needed without shapeshifting back to moonkin form and Rebirth so when I brez someone the idiot doesn’t take it during something that might kill them when they take it had it happen several times. Only notable minor glyph I have is glyph of Grace which reduces my falling damage when not in cat form.
- If you are applying as a DPS, what is your normal rotation? I usually start off around 75% from lunar, Prepot starfall cast wrath and or SS, Hit eclipse, pop Incarnation/NV(since NV is now a 1.5 min CD) pop starfall again after the initial one ends then apply dots eclipsed one second for LS then I proceed to start nuking boss and or adds with starfire, When I hit solar I refresh my dots again eclipsed one second for LS. Along the way I use my SS procs. When I get out of solar I hit Celestial Alignment refresh dots pop starfall then start casting starfire if lust/berserking is up if not I cast wrath to get back to lunar. During AoE phases I would try to get as much out of my mushrooms in solar and starfall in lunar as I could. Rinse and repeat until we die or hopefully the boss dies.
- 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): I’ve had multiple accounts throughout the years quit and came back fresh on a new account I grinded up to warlord on my original vanilla acocunt. This account I did RBG a little bit in Cata got up to 1850 on a 3-4 hour a week schedule. Arena I had a PR of like 1500 was more so just for laughs and points.
- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving: Only guild I’ve been apart of on this account that accounted for most of my raiding was <Digital Addiction> On the server Shadow Council. We formed as an official guild around the beginning of ICC. We ran a 25 man pug on the server that started around the end of BC cleared BT, Sunwell, then Naxx, Ulduar, ToC/ToGC , and then ICC 25man. We were a group of 10 that raided together then finally formed at the beginning of ICC while still running the 25 man PuG. We then went into Cata with high expectations of making a name for ourselves while only raiding during the weekend on 8-10 hours of raid time. I ‘left’ Digital Addiction on not so good of terms. If need be I will go into detail but not on the public forums.
<Black Cell Faction> I moved to Crushridge to play with a friend of mine who was in this guild he left for another guild and I just kinda stayed here since I wasn’t raiding at the time..
<Reprise> Is just a friends guild that I joined for rep bonuses/social activities.
Other Information:
- A Screenshot of your character's UI: http://i.imgur.com/EXvwNtU.jpg I have added to CLC info for all new MoP Cooldowns which just adds on to my CLC info bar.
- WWS/Wowmeter/Worldoflogs reports (not optional): I have no WoL for this xpac as I have not raided seriously the entirety of this xpac. I could go into a LFR if one is absolutely necessary.
- Alts & their name/level: Hunokelii/Hunter/90, Brewslee/Monk/90 various 89-85 alts Paladin, shaman, and another druid.
- Out of game contact information (AIM/MSN/etc): Kekoa#1275 is my battle tag or you can have Nize text me if needed.
- How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math?: Funny story I first heard about you guys when I would watch various streams and Brotatoe was in guild. From what I watched and saw at the time I thought you guys were a great group of players and seemed like you guys got things done but had fun doing it. I never knew what happened to Brotatoe as I stopped watching him around the time I stopped raiding/playing WoW like a second job. I know more about you guys from the friend I went to Crushridge to play with as he is now a current member of this guild, Nize the DK.
- Why Simple Math? Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? Well my friend Nize informed me that you guys are in need of a boomkin and having played with him he decided to let me know and to see if I wanted to come along for the adventure. I may not be in the best gear and a little rusty having not raided seriously since the end of cata but I’m a quick learner and I know that I can adapt and mesh with a group that knows what they are doing. I love to read up on my class/spec and all the boss fights even if I’m not in a raiding environment so as to keep up to date on the content.
- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during a 25-man raid? Honestly I have no idea the specs of the computer as I got this comp from a friend as he was building an entirely new computer. It runs wow on ultra 75-80 FPS during 25 mans. As a side note my computer took a crap on me around the start of MoP and since I wasn't planning on getting back into raiding 25 mans I have to send it in to get it fixed, It should be a week or two for me to get it fixed unless something drastic comes up with it. The computer I am on now does not do so well in 25 mans but 10 mans it is a smooth 25-30 fps during raids.
What kind of internet connection do you have? Run an internet speed test against New York atspeedtest.net Link the results below. I have basic internet from Cox, I never seem to have any problems with my connection unless I have a huge storm or something of the sort. I will probably be upgrading if I do start raiding again. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2598423013.png
- Finally, we ask that you draw us a picture using MS Paint. (This is not optional). http://i.imgur.com/27XLGEd.jpg Man I suck at MS paint been years since I played around on it.
