Player information:
- Age & Location: 27, Arizona
- Number of Testicles: 2 or less.
- Do you use a blizzard authenticator? If not, why? Nope, seemed gimmicky. Then people had issues with them. Then they had security breaches with them. As long as I stay smart I don't see a piece of plastic or an APP protecting my account more than common sense and the right computer security.
- How long have you played WoW: 2005-2006, I don't remember.
- Endgame experience (What bosses have you killed): I have experience and defeated every boss in every difficulty up to Cataclysm(when I stopped playing)--except clearing Naxx in Vanilla, and started back in MoP. Including several feats such as server first 3D, ZA Bear runs, Algalon 10, Tribute to Insanity, Delver of the Vaults, 16/16H, 8/12H ToT, 1/14M up until some personal/guild drama pulled me away from the game, but I came back and finished MoP with 14/14M. Currently, I am 6/7 1/7 on my Priest and Warrior.
Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Doppelganger - Priest
- Link to Battle.net Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/ursin/Doppelganger/advanced
- Race & why you chose it: It was the only option available. Blood elves were the one of the best raiding classes when I made my priest. High mana pools, and mana regen from mana tap/arcane torrent. Doesn't really matter as much now.
- Professions and why you choose them: Enchanting / Tailoring, something that has stuck with me on all my cloth classes.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? I heal with both specs. I have about the same amount of time playing with both specs over the years.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs (include stat priorities and breakpoints): Currently I am gemmed, and optimized for holy. I recently changed some enchants to critical strike for some discipline play. With the current gear and the stat distribution the only thing to do is to aim for priority stats. Break points, and soft caps will come later as you start to min/max renew ticks and so forth. Currently Mastery/Multistrike for Holy, and Crit/Mastery for Discipline.
- Explain your normal rotation and spell/ability priorities: For Discipline, Clarity of Will as often as I can on Tanks or people soaking damage. Shields on people before incoming damage. Prayer of Mending as often as I can. Cascade on cooldown during raid damage. During this entire time I weave in Holy Fire(Solace depending on fight), Smites, and Penance to allow me to 5 stack Archangel. Heal will be used in place of shields and flash heal during low damage points, unless Clarity of Will has a bigger benefits with random bursts of damage, and as a spot heal.
For Holy, its a bit more complex as you need to Chakra dance and work with keeping Renew going with Serenity. Typically I will be constantly using Renew(for raid healing), Heal will be used most of the time, Mending on CD during sustained raid damage, Circle of Healing when needed, Shields will be used sparingly and only when all instant heals are on CD and there is no discipline priest in the raid, and Guardian Spirit/Divine Hymn as needed.
Chakra dancing works when switching between Sanctuary to get AoE heals out, and switching back to use free heals with Serenity(hopefully before renew wears off, but not required).

- Why Simple Math? How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math? I've always been a serious raider at heart. Being prepared, adding handicaps to myself, constructively criticizing other raid members or helping them out with the questions I got in abundance. Simple Math felt like the next step. I am going to do my best to make sure I can handle it, and reassure myself that I didn't take that step too soon. I've been friends with Valkk for a couple months, and I heard there weren't any Priests that healed. I asked him for some advice, and eventually I was sporadically brought in. I enjoyed it, had fun, and the adrenaline/action was too hard to pass up. It works with my schedule of raiding on my other character, and seems like a chance I should take.
- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during a 25-man raid? PC, of course. It's a quad-core, with 16GB of RAM, using an old ATI 6900 series. It get 30-40 FPS on high settings in 25 raids. I have no problems with Ashran or Molten Core, so it can still handle 40-man as well.
