Character Information:
- Name, & Class:
Startropic - Monk
- Race & why did you choose it:
Pandaren - The 2x food buff, plus female got the curves.
- Link to Battle.net Armory:
Startropic
- Can you describe the ruckus?
Not sure what meaning of ruckus you want? I'm an 80's baby and I only know that ruckus is like causing a scene and such.
- Professions and why did you choose them:
Engineering and Blacksmithing - Engi for the Springs, Speed Boost, and Glider and Blacksmithing for the extra sockets.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs?
Currently WW with BrM off-spec. I was tanking up to recently, and I haven't touched MW since tier 14.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs:
WW - Mainly looking for pieces with Haste/Crit as Hit/Exp cap>Agi>Haste (So far seems 12k+)>Crit>Mastery.
BrM - Was running Crit build so was looking at crit/mastery pieces gemming pure crit. Hit/exp cap>crit>mastery.haste.
- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why:
WW - Main one is Glyph of Karma for the range and Zen Med so I can move with it. Others are fight dependent.
BrM - Glyph of Enduring Spheres so my little green apple balls stay longer when I need them. Glyph of Fortifying Brew so I can have extra damage reduction. Third was fight dependent again.
- If you are applying as a DPS, what is your normal rotation?
Before Pull - Try to have 3+ Chi with Expel Harm
Count Down - Pre-Pot, Expel Harm if needed for the Chi
Boss - Xuen (If I have him)>RSK>Tiger Palm>Chi Brew 2x>Tiger Brew if at 8+>if not then Blackout 2x then Tiger Brew (Can be weird depending on mastery procs from Chi Brew). Then it's RSK>keep TP up>Jab for chi>use any Combo Breaker procs>Blackout>Chi Wave.
FoF - This thing...if it didn't root you you could get more out of this, but basically the conditions of it are:: RSK, Energizing Brew both on CD, can use without moving for 3 seconds and are not going to cap energy. Against anything with adds, forget it.
Energizing Brew I try to use on CD since I have the AoC trinket (Haromm hates me so much, I've never had any version of it.) as long as it's not during lust.
- If you are applying as a healer, what spells do you use & when/why?
- Highest PvP Rank on this character (vanilla & arena titles):
I'm not a serious PvP'er, 1600's is my highest on anything in arena or BGs. If I had serious partners, maybe I'd try to get better at it.
- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving:
Neolutum 10m (Turalyon) - Joined them as DPS/3rd Tank for Shamans and did alright for about a month before the two main tanks decided to just up and leave. That left me as the only other tank that could do heroics and it would take a month or more of normals to gear up an old guildie that wanted to tank again (Was good, had no gear). I didn't want to step back on progression, so I looked elsewere.
Standard Deviation (Blackrock) - Joined them about a month ago as trial tank. Things seemed fine, everyone liked me, i wasn't terribad and the only thing I got was that I needed to be more "vocal" about calling my own tank CDs. I helped them get two heroic progression kills within the time I was there and last night right after their H Thok kill I was promptly booted from the guild, mumble and had forum access removed. I had to get the reason why from a guild member that I did stuff with and had on Real ID.
Reason: "You weren't "vocal" enough while raiding. Nothing about CD usage or buff uptimes (Which were all good) or picking up fight strats (I pick stuff up quick). Just about the fucking external tank CD call out. No one would talk to me either about anything else.

I don't have friends or family for twitter or facebook, ect.
- How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math?:
Grouch responded to my post on MMO-Champion saying they could use a monk dps. I don't know anyone in SM personally.
- Why Simple Math? Is there anything else you'd like to tell us?
You guys are competent and seem to get things done during the tier, not after.
Anything else you can ask away, more than willing to answer anything on your mind, just that I'm a bit rusty on doing things from the boss's ass instead of his face, but I'll get back into it within a few days, so things should better than that flex log (Group was kinda derpy).
- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during a 25-man raid?
CPU: AMD FX 8320 8 core 3.5Ghz
RAM: 8 Gigs
Video: Geforce GTX 660ti 2gig
anywhere between 25-40fps depending on fight. Usually when fight started things slow a bit due to all the spell effects, then it's fine. Hasn't been an issue for me yet.
