« on: April 25, 2012, 04:59:19 PM »

Character Name (Please provide a working Armory link):
Ray
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/mugthol/Ray/advanced

What Spec/Role(s) are you applying for? Are you comfortable playing multiple specs in a raid?
Balance, I can play any spec competitively.

List your professions and why you think they're optimal:
Engineering- BiS pretty much due to the on use. Can be effectively used to scale the stat bonus by popping these CD during critical times. For example Ragnaros seeds aoe. 480int during aoe burst, yes please. Also, I am a rocket boot addict.

Enchanting- I just have it because during leveling in cataclysm proved very money makingish and its not bad for any reason.

How old are you?
23

List your previous guilds and describe your reasons for leaving:
BC
-Flux in BC on Blackrock- Disbanded due to expansion.
Character: Critskills@mugthol Mage
-Invalid in WOTLK- cleared everything until ICC with them, guild started to slowly fall due to the introduction of faction change.
Character: You@anvilmar Hunter
-Odyssey on Blackrock- Disbanded
Character: Ray@mugthol Druid

Cataclysm
Rage on Baelgun - Disbanded at the start of Firelands. Officer here.
Character: Ray@mugthol
Odyssey on Mugthol - Spot filled after taking a break this semester at college due to real life reasons. DPS on the roster is over saturated. I am still in good terms in this guild.
Character: Ray@mugthol

Describe your current and previous WoW raid experience. Be specific:

Did some raiding in Vanilla but mostly pvp on my mage.

BC- Cleared everything all the way to Illidan. I did not raid during the Sunwell, I had to take a break due to real life issues.

Wotlk- I cleared everything from Naxx to Ulduar on my Hunter which is You@anvilmar.
Cleared TOGC 10 and did TOGC 25 except anub. I did not get the chance to kill Anub 25 heroic due to no guild during this time.
I cleared ICC 10 Heroic and did 11/12 heroic on 25man with over 150 wipes on Heroic LK. Never got a kill of RS 25 heroic however attempted over 50 times.

Cata-
I cleared 11/13 heroic in tier 11 except Council and Al Akir. I put over 50 attempts on Al Akir Heroic. Also came up with strategies for all heroic bosses for Rage. I was an officer here and the Main Tank.
Cleared Firelands 7/7 Heroic, did dread flames on Ragnaros.
I have killed heroic dragon soul 6/8 heroic on 10man.

Describe your previous MMO experience:
Started off with a korean mmo silkroad online, moved to WoW never looked back.

We raid Mon,Tues,Weds,Thurs 9p est - midnight. Can you attend all of these days? Do you foresee yourself missing any raids in the near future for an extended amount of time?
I can make all times. No I do not.

Why are you interested in Aftermath?
12 hours raid, week top 50 US = win


Why should Aftermath recruit you?
I will give my best and every ounce of performance that can be given by my class. When I rarely make a mistake it will never be repeated again. I am never late/miss raids without notice.

Can you offer Aftermath any special skill (i.e. coding, website design, media, etc.)
Beginner in coding. I have extremely experienced contacts when it comes to web design and any other type of coding that will help me for free.

Are you able to take constructive criticism?
Yes, makes you a better player or educates someone else.

Please include a screenshot of your raiding UI:


This is my u i lol, get it?

Please provide a screenshot of a ping test to Chicago, IL from pingtest.net:


Please include a brief summary of your keybinds and buttons that you click:
I have over 60 keybinds. The only thing I click is ultraxion button.

Please include any World of Logs  online reports (required):

http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-x9qz79zx3dffeflm/
Hagara dispels got EXTREMELY messed up and slowed down to a death from the spikes.

http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-m0397rovy7i52bgu/
There is one death on ultraxion on this due to a game crash.

Both of these logs were before I picked up the huge amount of upgrades this week. I was still using t12 Heroic pieces and transitioned into the t13 heroic pieces this week.

Following are after upgrades.
http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-tny2la9ux356jfn3/
Death on spine is due to having to afk for an emergency.

Do you have any additional comments (RealID, AIM, skype, references, ect)?
He leĆ­do la plantilla.


Rotation:
AOE:
Solar is a must for aoe, its a huge loss in damage not be in it:
In AoE, my main goal is to be in Solar, keep mushroom detonate on CD with 3x mushrooms each time, during the CD of this ability I throw down another 3 mushrooms and make sure everything has Sunfire(If the target has sunfire, I put up Insect Swarm). You have to be very proactive to push the limits of moonkin AOE. TidyPlates is amazing for this. Of everything has dots already, I start to refresh sunfire starting from the lowest duration left and so on. Starfall on CD during heavy aoe.


Single target:
Its a fairly simple rotation but there are some tricks you can do to make it better for example Shooting stars procs, u could in essence extend your eclipse by holding a SS proc near the end of your eclipse, and using right after last wrath that will take you out of the solar eclipse or immediately after the Starfire that takes you out of the Lunar eclipse. Dots wise, I only refresh them after casting 1 respective wrath/starfire when entering a new eclipse. The only time Id refresh them any other time is if there is down time and i would have more then 2-3 secs down time on the dots while I am entering the new eclipse. Rule of thumb is if they are under 7~ secs when you are leaving your eclipse, they will probably fall off early so I would refresh them before leaving the eclipse.
Some other things I do is make sure I always get a Starsurge in Lunar so it extends my Lunar eclipse giving me 1 extra starfire.

Getting legendary next tuesday.

With AM clearing things in a timely manner each week, I notice you have 2 points in Fungal Growth, and 3/3 in Perseverance. While Perseverance is a great talent, it is more or less a progression talent. Fungal Growth on the other hand is realistically a PVP talent and very little use if any in DS, the only time I see it being used is if there is a lack of hunters.

So I was wondering why you chose Fungal Growth instead of Solar Beam(though I understand both are situational) and have you considered a 31/0/10 build going 2/2 in Blessing of the Grove and 2/3 in Perseverance, this allows a slight DPS increase as well as maintaining 4% reduced spell damage taken on top of the standard 15% reduced damage from Moonkin Form. So just curious about your build and why you chose it.

Thanks : )

I've been doing Firelands weekly and I do the spiderlings on beth so I like to have 2/2 fungal growth for that. I also use it on alysrazzor to solo meteor while I am flying and also for rhy oozes.

Solar beam is completely useless in DS and extremely minor in firelands, I'd rather take 1/2 FG.

Reason for not picking up BotG is because it is merely a 70-80 dps increase which from the pool of over 40k is not much. I have been going with progressing groups recently and a solid 6% reduction definitely out weighs the extremely minor dps increase and also because some times I even stand out for Ultraxion soaks. BotG really shines with Lunar shower which we can use once again in pandaclysm due to the changes to it.

Once I have my orange stick next week and never to look at FL again, I will switch to the 31/0/10 build. I still probably won't pick up solar beam though just 1/2 FG with 2/2 botg and 2/3 perseverance.
