-----------------------------------
Character Details
-----------------------------------
Character Name: Iscarîot

Class: Warlock

Level: 90

Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/kazzak/Iscar%C3%AEot/advanced

Professions and Skill Level: Tailoring and Enchanting, both maxed

What Elixirs/Flasks/Buff food do you use in raids to boost your performance?
Flask of the Warm Sun
Great Pandaren Banquet on farm and learning attempts. Once all the fight mechanics are understood by the raid and myself, I switch over to Mogu Fish Stew to get that little extra dps.

Describe what you think you would bring to our guild if accepted.
(raiding and social aspects)
I person who thinks he knows how to play his class (warlock), but is open to critique to improve his play style and performance.
Fun, mature and patient person. Patience of course up to a certain point. One can only sustaine so much. Someone who could raid lead/organise alt raids, as I used to do this in the past.

-----------------------------------
Character History
-----------------------------------
Previous Guilds:
I first started playing wow when ulduar came out. At the time I had no idea what this game was about. When I finally hit 80 some friends brought me to naxxramas 10man. I was instantly hooked on this raiding stuff and I wanted more. Since my friends were more focussed on pvp I ended up joining a raiding guild.

Chop Chop <EU> , a rebuilding guild that recruited almost everything that came there way. We eventually ended up with a decent roster. A roster that unfortunately could not kill Anub HC, because kiting is hard (actually it only takes 1 person to fuck shit up on fights like that). This guild eventually fell apart during the summer of ICC (cant remember the year) when an officer quit. It of course had to be the officer that was most engaging with the guild members. This resulted in people leaving left and right.

Epiphany <EU>, joined them after Chop Chop’s downfall. But they were suffering with attendance, just like other guilds on talnivarr at the time. A few weeks after I joined they called it quits. In epiphany I raided with Evrelia, mister famous warlock now. Epiphany ended up merging with another guild on EU-Auchindaun to kill Lich King. I didn’t follow them.

Madhouse<Eu>, joined them when epiphany gave up raiding on talnivarr. But this guild was also suffering lack of attendance. DAMN YOU SUMMER!!!! But I didn’t leave. I figured that I would stick around and prepare for cata. Started to organise pugs on my shaman on which we cleared 8-9 hc bosses in ICC. Cata was to be released around November? But the deal here is that Madhouse decided to only start raiding in January after the x-mas break. School Bus required a warlock. I got approached and I accepted.

School Bus<EU>, joined them a few weeks before cata launched. And I got my LK-hc kill with them. School bus was having some troubles nearing the end of T11. A number of players called it quits after having played wow since TBC. So the roster was changing quite a bit. Eventually we ended up doing 10man in FL. With more people going away the 10man thing eventually died aswell. Those that were left raiding looked up to me to take over raid leading. But I could not take that responsibility as I had my thesis project to look forward to. So instead a small group and I transferred to another guild.

The Last Watch <EU>, joined them when they started progress on Raggy. We killed raggy, but I quit wow prior to DS, because I had to leave for my thesis project. When I came back I could not raid because I had other thesis work going on. And I did not have time to raid at the beginning of MOP. Nearing the end of t14 I reapplied to The Last Watch but they surprisingly disbanded. Some left the realm, other joined pure (also on turalyon) and other just quit. At the launch of MOP a few school bussers return to the game and started to raid again. But talnivarr is a wasteland now so recruiting is very hard. It’s actually impossible so they transferred to kazzak.

School Bus <EU>. Yeah. We gathered here to try and rebuild this. It was tough especially with the summer and a number of people on vacation. As a guild with no hc kills it is very hard to get recruitments in, apart from people from trade or other dying guilds. Our raiding schedule combined with the progress we have made is not appealing either. I honestly did not mind that too much, because I well know that this is part of the “rebuilding” phase. Due to some internal disagreements I decided to leave the guild. In the end this did not work out for me. I can go on and on about this. But this is not the place. I can only say that I enjoyed playing with school bus. No bad words, they are overall great people.

Reason for Leaving:
Please see above. If you like more information on the “internal disagreements” as I’ve described it. Feel free to contact me and we can chat about this.

When did you start this character and how long have you /played?

I started playing around the time when Ulduar was released. My total played time on this character is 191 days.


What encounters and raids have you experienced in Mists of Pandaria? Please state if it was on 10man or 25man and was it normal or heroic

T14 (HOF, MSV, ToES) Only normal. Wasn’t raiding at the time because I was too busy with rl stuff. Both on 10 and 25man. I used to organise 25man pugs/alt raids on turalyon on Fridays and Saturdays for this.

T15 (ToT) Jinrokh and Horridon HC. 25man since School Bus is a 25man raiding guild.

What previous raid experience (Vanilla, TBC, WoLK, Cata) do you have on this char? Please only mention stuff you did at the time when it was a current raid, we dont need to know you can clear black temple when you are level 90.
Started playing around the time when Ulduar was released. So no raiding experience prior to that.

T9 (ToGC) killed all on hc except anub. This is before ICC hit. We did go back to kill that bug.

T10 (ICC) all on hc, except lich king prior to the talent change patch. Did kill him before cata hit.

T11 (BOT, BWD, Tot4W) all on hc except Ascendent Council. (did not go back to kill it to this day). We managed to kill sinestra 2 hours before the server shut down for the FL patch.

T12 (FL) all on hc. Killed before DS hit.

T13 (DS) all before MOP hit. Got boosted. So don’t count this !!!

What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid? :
Give a original answer here, saying to buff and dps/heal/tank isn't really worth mentioning

As a dps I will need to nuke the boss until he rolls over and drops loot, this of course without dying or taking excessive damage. Warlocks have a good amount of cooldowns to stay alive.


What is your Spell Rotation ?

I don’t really have a fixed rotation. The main idea is keep dots up and refresh them when procs are available. I use tell me when and class timer to keep track of my dots and procs. Use MG as filler pre 20% and DS post 20%.

Haunt is used only when I have procs up. Because I cannot have a 100% uptime on haunt I need to choose when to use my shards. Boosting dots with trinkets proc by 30% is a lot more beneficial to randomly boost dot dps.

Why have you chosen to reforge, gem and enchant the way you have? Give a brief description on why particular stats are good for your class/spec.
Talents:

T1: I pick Dark Regeneration or Soul leech depending on the fight. Dark Regeneration is good for a fight like Megaera. Extra cool down during rampage. Soul Leech is very useful on a fight like Jinrokh. The shield I gain can stack up quite high so I can dispel ionisation without any cool downs.

T2: I usually use Mortal Coil for the extra instant heal. Shadow Fury is also useful to stun add, like on tortos, but I usually use this to do dailies etc.

T3: Sacrificial Pact. 270k shield (observer) every 1min. If I use GoSac this shield is a lot stronger.

T4: Unbound Will. Personal dispel

T5: GoSup for most of the fights. According to sims this is better and will give me more procs from these shitty trinkets. But I have experienced higher dps myself compared to GoSac.

T6: Kill’jaeden’s cunning. Allows me to run around and cast.

Glyphs:

Glyph of Siphon Life: some extra healing

Glyph of Unstable Affliction: Reduced casting time on this UA. Can result in a higher up time of MG. this is very theoretical and were talking about tenths of seconds.

Glyph of Soul stone: when I combat ress someone if I ever combat ress. This person will be at full hp.

Glyph of Health Stone: really strong in combination with Dark Regeneration.

Glyph of Life Tap: can be somewhat useful on fights where you need x-amount of hp to mitigate dmg from certain abilities or if u can avoid damage in general. But ive been using this most on tortos hc.

Glyph of Exhaustion: Slow shit down by 70%

Stats:

Hit: Hit because I don’t want to miss my casts. In the beginning of Mop I played below the hit cap, as most warlocks did. But this could be very annoying at times. You are required to be a lot more alert. Current level of gear allow me to reach a good haste level and be able to be hit capped.

Haste: I went for the 13180 haste breakpoint where I get 4 extra ticks of corruption. Going for the extra tick on corruption is debatable if it’s good or not. Some warlocks reforge for max haste other reforge for certain haste break points. Break points are usually aimed at extra ticks of ua or agony, because corruption is our weakesst dot. But if I reforged max haste I was only 120 haste away from the corruption breakpoint, so I simply changed a gem in my gloves to achieve this breakpoint. Sacrificing a little bit of int from the socket bonus. All in all, haste is in general a very good stat for affliction especially with the trinkets we have nowadays. More hits results in more chances to get trinkets procs or the meta gem.

Mastery: also a pretty good stat for affliction but because of the rppm shit blizzard introduced. Haste is favoured over mastery.

Crit: crit is the worst stat compared to haste and mastery.

General Information
-----------------------------------

Age: 29

Country: Netherlands

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular?
I'd love to be in a group of like minded people who enjoy the game and are interested in doing well. Hopefully my application is sufficient to show you that whilst I'm probably newer to wow than many of you are, I do my homework. I come to raids as often as I can, and I like to have fun whilst doing so. After all, it’s a game, and if you're not having fun, then you're doing it wrong. You guys also have great raid times and from what I’ve read, you look like a guild that take raiding serious, but are pretty casual and relaxed outside of raids.

Players you know / How did you come across us?
Wowprogress

Alts and Level (if any): I got a level 36 mage on this server. Planned to pvp with it, but most of my friends quit wow. They are now playing Marvel Heroes…. Srsly WTF.
Got some more alts on talnivarr, where I used to organise pugs.

Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?: my mage is in a random guild, I joined the first guild that invited me to stop the guild spam invite. It’s a bank character now anyway.

Did you read our Rules & Policies?
Yes I did. This question is silly because everyone will say yes. Just saying.

What days can you play and what hours during those days (Please let us know now so no confusion is caused if you were to be accepted)?:
(Members are required to be available for raiding at least 3/4 nights week with higher attendance preferred.) Raid days are Wed Thurs Sun Mon. 2000-0000 server time we do occasionally stay later if we are close to a kill. Fri & Sat are off nights but if people are online we try to do alt runs or RBG's.
Wednesday (from 20:00). yes
Thursday (from 20:00). yes
Sunday (from 20:00). yes
Tuesday (from 20:00). Yes
Whenever I am home I can play. Outside of the raid or guild events, like an alt raid or rbg, you will usually find me playing D3, SC2 or Dota2. I don’t like sitting in the main city looking at trade.

Previous online gaming experience (if any):
Warcraft 3 and Dota
Starcraft 2
Dota 2
But none really competitive. In SC2 I was a masters level player. No idea what I was in WC3, all I know I was destroying people with my Demon Hunter + Rejuvenation. The rage… good times xD

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:
My name is Kimble. I am a 29 male student (I blame WoW)in the netherlands, but I was born in Suriname. Suriname is a small country in south america just north of brazil. Go get ur atlas. I came to the Netherlands to study aerospace engineering at the technical university of delft (TUDELFT) and am now mastering in sustainble energy technology (SET) at the same university. About 2 weeks ago I finally handed in the final version of my thesis, so this student thing will be over soon.

Hi Smile

I have some questions about your haste stacking.
Why would u go all out haste for a corruption cap when it is our weakest dot? i dont know the exact goblin caps, but i recon this cap u have reached also covers the relevant Agony/UA bonus ticks?
also,
stacking haste that high is basicly only for full BiS gear or full single target dps.
U will most likely see good numbers in openers and normal modes in general, but in heroics there is always multidotting (apart from jinrokh).
thus, mastery will start shining
so if u'd be required to play another spec, u always regem/forge/enchant your gear?because full haste is far from favorable for the other 2 specs

other then that, your app was a good read.
meta gem is definitly a plus, do u have the 4 set aswell?

good luck with the apply!
grtz

i didnt aim for that haste break point. i just happened to be close to it and i just went for it. been doing mostly normal mode anyway, where its just nuke away. The last break point was at 12606.

and i kinda lack experience in hc so i havent tested a lot, what is better in which situation. from what ive understood is that demo is generally better for hc. that would require regemming etc.

whenever i swap spec i have so far just reforged. i unfortunately do not have the 4 set. i am not a loot whore and i use whatever comes my way. and the set pieces didnt.
