herro i like your paint. would you stay panda for horde? and how do you feel about your name, i ask because we already have someone named Voltshot : x

[Volt]

Most likely i would Roll Troll to add berserk in with my burst . and as far as my name i would have no objections woudlnt wanna confuse anyone and being small server i'm sure i can find another one that would suit my style

Gonna have to dock you points for not liking dwarves

- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs: 12127 Haste Cap for my extra flame shock ticks then stacking mastery for my ele overload. as you can see by what i have i been stacking up on Haste/Mastery gear to obtain this with a few gem combos that might scratch your head.

Inc slew of questions.

How did you arrive at this number?

Why int/stam instead of int/spirit gems?

How or what do you use to do reforging?

What resources do you use to keep up with things of the ele related type?

Indestructible - Kel'thuzad ( current guild , not every guild is for for everyone just feel a negative vibe here and not realy enjoying raiding with them )

Could you explain this a little more? Just kind of curious what's leading to the vibes.

[grouch]

you could name yourself whatever you want. if i were to move to a guild that already had a grouch i wouldn't change my name very much just because of that.

overall a good application. looking forward to seeing a response to keg's questions.

as discussed in-game, voltine is comfortable playing both resto and elemental as the content demands.

- If you are applying as a healer, what spells do you use & when/why?

I know you are primarily applying as elemental, so I don't fault you for not answering this question. However, you (and grouch) mentioned that you enjoy resto and are comfortable playing it as well. I would like to know your approach to healing and your thoughts on the upcoming changes to the spec in 5.4, if you've looked at them.

1.8106 haste is +3 12137 is + 4 16204 +5 of flameshock mmochamp looked up haste breakpoints

2. till i swap out some of my OS i do not need the extra spirit i'm already .50% over the hit cap adding 160 but tbh i havent checked what swaping that one gem out would do to my reforgeing i will try it here in a min.

3. i use reforge light and try to browse mmochamp and post from leeds

4. mmochamp as well as leeds post along with fatguys strats

5. i dont like to bad mouth a guild as a whole in public. but when you throw 5 females together in a group and all you all nite is the 5 guys battleing it out for HBIC it gets tireing.

I will run lfr as resto tonite to show some use of Cooldowns etc . But in a nut shell i keep riptide up on tanks chain healing and throwing out my Healing rain on aoe damage. i mean its kinda hard to explain as every time its differnt i mean i'll be tossing a ghw out there randomly and healing surge along with watching for my time to throw out healing tide.

Dang it late for work i'll touch up on this after work and with some posted logs

True but with a new home ( hopefuly longterm ) its sometimes best to say good bye to the old and hello to the new.

1. I'll have to poke around mmo-c. Last I knew there were no specific breakpoints to hit sans the 50% and 100% marks, since the dps gain from ls is minute. Or I could just be out of date with that info. XD

2. If you did swap both timeless gems to spirit you would end up getting 320 of a stat that can be reforged unlike stam.

3-4. Alrighty.

5. Fair enough.

Have you ever used simulationcraft or tried to dabble with it at all?
