Character Information:

- Name, & Class:

Svefn, Druid

- Race & why did you choose it:

Tauren, sentimental reasons. I've always been Tauren. (I can race change if needed)

- Link to Battle.net Armory:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/tichondrius/Svefn/advanced

- Can you describe the ruckus?

You mean Rufus? I know that guy!

- Professions and why did you choose them:

Alchemy & Jewelcrafting

I've been Alchemy since Classic and Jewelcrafting since the Burning Crusade. They are both great professions.
Although, as a profession completionist, there is no way I'd ever drop them.

- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs?

Resto & Balance.

I play around with Balance casually and occasionally switch to Feral. Although, I haven't played DPS in a real raid since Heroic Lich King 10m (Feral) and Naxx25 (Balance). Usually, when a healer has to switch to DPS, someone else is really itching to play DPS, so I let them.

- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs:

Well, the first thing is the 13k Haste breakpoint. I'm still using 4pc from last tier, mainly because I'm nice. I let everyone else grab their 4pc, and I usually prefer to switch after I get Heroic 4pc.

- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why:

It's pretty much cookie cutter.

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

Well, there really isn't that much variety... but usually I keep LB on tanks, maintain Harmony uptime, WG as much as possible (usually on melee), Rejuv the hell outta the raid, and Genesis when appropriate.

Talent-wise, at the moment I'm loving the combination of Soul of the Forest+Wild Growth and Nature's Vigil+Tranq (and on CD otherwise).

I haven't checked top logs recently, but I usually try to spot subtle tips to push HPS.

- Highest PvP Rank on this character (vanilla & arena titles):

I only PvP casually.

I got to Champion on my Warlock in Classic and I used to carry friends/alts to weapons in Arena (although, that was boring). I do like running BGs / RBGs though.

- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving:

1.6-2.1 <Blood Requiem> on Stonemaul: Guild disbanded

2.1-3.1 <Limbo> on Gorefiend: GM was basically Troxed. Friends left, I followed.

3.1-4.0 <Damage Networks> on Gorefiend: Guild disbanded

4.0-4.2 <Something Novel> on Blackrock: Guild disbanded

4.2-5.2 <Nurfed> on Tichondrius: Druids sucked in T14, sitting sucked.

5.2-5.3 <Falled II> on Tichondrius: Guild disbanded

Perfect raid times.

- Finally, we ask that you draw us a picture using MS Paint. (This is not optional).

I'm pretty proud of my ability to paint.

Do you have a raid bucket for IBS and / or a 'great personality'?

[Rude]

can you host your ms paint on a real site

I know that it's a bit annoying, but I'd ask you to try and get some current logs from.. something. What you have isn't bad at all though.

4.2-5.2 <Nurfed> on Tichondrius: Druids sucked in T14, sitting sucked.

I'm assuming Nurfed sat you an excessive amount of time during T14, but I do need to ask if you're okay with mild sitting for the good of progression. IE: for Garrosh we ended up running with the same comp with limited swapping since the fight was pretty unforgiving. Having raided in a guild like Nurfed, I'm sure you understand those things. Assuming that it's reasonable, are you willing to sit for the good of progression? Ideally, this never happens and has only happened once or twice since I've been here,

I play around with Balance casually and occasionally switch to Feral. Although, I haven't played DPS in a real raid since Heroic Lich King 10m (Feral) and Naxx25 (Balance). Usually, when a healer has to switch to DPS, someone else is really itching to play DPS, so I let them.

Would you be willing to get up to snuff for DPSing? It's not a requirement but it's certainly good. I think we turned our resto druid into a boomkin this tier. >_>

Anyways, other than that, your armory looks good and I've heard good things about you from a few people, so I'll leave the rest up to everyone else.

Actually, the only thing I would add to my questions issss:

Well, the first thing is the 13k Haste breakpoint. I'm still using 4pc from last tier, mainly because I'm nice. I let everyone else grab their 4pc, and I usually prefer to switch after I get Heroic 4pc.

could you go into more detail about your stat priority? Why the 13k haste breakpoint? Are there better options, etc? I'd like to see your reasoning for it.

I'll see what I can do. Someone should be doing alt raids this weekend. <Nurfed> has stopped raiding, and some friends have actually been helping other friends with raiding, so I can try to squeeze into a raid with them if possible.

I'm assuming Nurfed sat you an excessive amount of time during T14, but I do need to ask if you're okay with mild sitting for the good of progression. IE: for Garrosh we ended up running with the same comp with limited swapping since the fight was pretty unforgiving. Having raided in a guild like Nurfed, I'm sure you understand those things. Assuming that it's reasonable, are you willing to sit for the good of progression? Ideally, this never happens and has only happened once or twice since I've been here,

I suppose I should have explained myself better. Yes, it was certainly excessive. I do not mind sitting. I know that some encounters require certain setups and that you usually want to maintain the same set of people that will lead to kills, but it went beyond that in <Nurfed> for that tier.

Afaik, the parting was amicable. They really felt that Druids were terrible that tier and simply did not want to use one.

Would you be willing to get up to snuff for DPSing? It's not a requirement but it's certainly good. I think we turned our resto druid into a boomkin this tier. >_>

Yeah, I don't mind. I've just been used to raiding with some healers who jump at the opportunity to DPS, and I like the challenge when we try to drop down to less healers for raids.

Svefn. Thanks for applying. Would you be available to chat this Sunday?

Well, I do know that some Druids were using a lower haste breakpoint while maxing out mastery, but I always favored the 13k haste breakpoint instead for the extra rejuvenation tick.

The bulk of our healing should be from rejuvenation (blanket rejuv and genesis). To me, this makes the 13k haste breakpoint the best option, although I'm always up for hearing arguments against it.

ATM, I know everyone is doing it. Although, I'm not so stubborn as to take refuge in the false security of consensus. I remember when <Damage Networks> disbanded and some guildies joined <Enigma> early in Cata. When I applied, their Resto Druid asked why I was re-forging out of spirit and into throughput, that it was stupid. A couple months later, everyone was doing it.

Svefn. Thanks for applying. Would you be available to chat this Sunday?

Yup.

my condolences.

- Number of Testicles:

1 .. 2 .. 5?

instantly accepted.

- Race & why did you choose it:

Tauren, sentimental reasons. I've always been Tauren. (I can race change if needed)

we don't require it but it certainly wouldn't hurt to consider the change after seeing WoD racials.
