C. Raiding and Character information

1. Character Name Tabletøp| Spec Unholy DPS| Class Death Knight| Race Orc (Horde Race upon acceptance)

2. Are you a clicker? Be honest. I click my less used abilities, but I have a few keybound that I use every fight

3. Are you exalted with Sons of Hodir? Yes I am

4. What is your raiding experience Pre-BC? In BC? WoTLK? Specify the guilds you were in/leadership role/responsibility. Honestly Pre-BC I didnt raid much. I had a very shitty computer and was unable to raid on even on non-laggy servers. I did the first couple bosses in TK adn SSC that's it. In WOTLK I started raiding more. Naxx, OS 3d, uld 25 up to yogg. Most of ulduar 10 hardmodes. togc 10 mad skill, togc 25 4/5 (several attempts p3 anub), icc 25 7/12, icc 10 11/12
 
5. Provide an armory link to your character and a wowhead link to your normal raiding spec.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kil%27jaeden&cn=Tablet%C3%B8p

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfVMMZZfM0Ixcdg0ux0uIqo:sbLmMV       

6. You will need lots of consumables to keep up with the pace during progression raids. Do you have the will and time to put in enough effort to keep an adequate amount? Absolutely. Im not the richest person in the world, but ill have 10k + on me most of the time and always have enough flasks for however long and several indestructible/ speed pots. Cant forget strength food and pet food =)

7. Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters?
That is a priority into raiding. Odviously you guys are ahead of the curve and ahead of the point where available videos are accessable, but finding out whatever information I can thats released on the web or from you guys should be a necessary thing before the raid.

8. What do you think about beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content? I say hell yes

9. Post a WWS report / Wow Meter Online / World of Logs of a few recent raids in your guild.  If your guild does not run these, post a screenshot(s) of your recount for some boss encounters. (DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT)
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-6autrukbovgw5s22/sum/damageDone/?s=8&e=199

http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-viml35um41eed0u8/sum/damageDone/?s=1537&e=1802     (this is a week earlier than the top one, I was not specced into reaping at this point)
10. Post a screenshot of your UI while in a raid enviroment (in combat). (Give a list of any relevant addons not shown.)
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5484/wowscrnshot021210052934.jpg      (omen threat is the only one not shown on this SS)


D. Dual Spec

1. What is your secondary spec? Blood

2. Are you able to play it as well as your main spec? Yes I am

3. Are you willing to change your main spec and/or secondary spec for guild needs?
 Yep. Whatever you need.

E. Professions

1. What are your 2 professions? if they are not maxed to the level of profession perks, why not? Mining and Jewelcrafting. I am completely aware that blacksmithing is better than mining for more damage in raids. I am currently farming the mats for it.

2. If you have a gathering profession/non-optimal race, what is stopping you from changing it to benefit you more? It is no real excuse, but with my old guild breaking up and trying to form this new one on KJ, I haven't really had a lot of time to farm materials because I was riad leading, recruiting, setting up the website, pretty much doing everything.


F. Other Questions

1. What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM? Include their website. Illuminaughty. Necrofeelyuh is the current GM. http://naughtykj.guildlaunch.com/index.php?sub_domain=naughtykj&sub_domain=naughtykj&gid=

2. Why are you leaving your current guild? They are progressing very fast and I've done everything. Raid leading, working the website, recruiting, trying to keep people happy. Pretty much everything a Gm should be doing if not some other officers. Im a bit wiped out and would rather focus on myself being a good raider with other people rather than calling out things for 24 people that arent going to pay attention to what they should be.

3. Do you play actively outside of raiding? Yes I do. I have to started to gain an interest in getting achievement points, so I do as much of those as I can. I also have an 80 mage I play with and a 64 rogue I am leveling.

4. Are you able to take and improve upon harsh criticism? You can ask anyone in my guild, I rarely make mistakes but when I do....I get made fun of for it for a long long time. I am very good at sucking it up and fixing whatever needs to get fixed.

5. There will be Bench time.  Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. Are you okay with this? As long as its not sitting for an entire month without any raids whatsoever, im fine =) I completely understand raid composition and trying out people, etc.

6. Why are you interested in joining CUTIES ONLY? do you currently know anyone in CUTIES? I do not know anyone in CUTIES personally, but you guys have always been my favorite guild. You all get along together and have fun while being an extremely successfully hardcore raiding guild. I watch all your videos rather than tankspot or any others because you guys do make mistakes in yours. People do die and it happens, its nice to see hardcore raiding guilds make mistakes too and fix them and still get the kill.

7. What are the other guilds you applied to? any particular reason why you are shopping for multiple guilds? keep in mind we do have very good contacts in other guilds, your omission on certain information may be held against you.
I have not apped to any guilds in a few weeks, I gave this guild im in another shot and it just didnt happen for me.
8. If your application is accepted. What kind of raider can we expect you to be? Give a brief description of your attitude towards raiding in both progression and farm content. Does your level of play decline during the farm period?

9. How can we contact you outside of the game? AIM, Email, etc...
 mcktenor13@hotmail.com- I check this email a couple times a day. Im in game most of the time (most of you will probably have alts on kil;jaeden anyways)
G. IQ Check (Answer to the best of your abilities, you do not have to answer everything if you are unable.  Do Not Include the answer to this section in your application, instead, PM the answer to Raisa


•3 + 4 * 2^x = 35, what is x? x = (ln5)/(ln2) = roughly 2.322

•How much gold would you charge to get the entire Horde population of Kil'jaeden a Head of Mimiron? God damn....according to WoW census. 9465 horde 80s times 50000 gold a pop would be about 473,000,000 gold

•A sequence of number  0 3 8 15 24 35 48 63 80 x, what is x? they go up in increments of 2. x would be 99

•At nasty debuff similar to curse of doom kills a player in 60 seconds.  As it kills a player with the debuff it is instantly jumps to 2 other random players in the raid, and the 60-second countdown resumes.  At the start of the pull one random players gets it.  Assuming you have 25 players in raid, how long do you raid have to dps down the boss before the raid wipes?

Well givin the last 10 people can survive a boss encounter without dying on their own and only this debuff kills people...300 seconds or 5 minutes.

•You have 8 Titansteel bars; all of them are the same weight except for one that's slightly lighter.  How do you find the lighter when you can only use the balance twice?

You split them into 3 groups. 3-3-2. you first weight the 3 and 3. if they are equal then you weight the third group (2) if one of the 3 are lighter than the other three, then you weigh two of those three. if those two are equal then the third of those 3 is the light one, otherwise the scale will tell you itself the lighter one.

•You have 10 bags of coins.  All the bags contains 10 10-ounce coin execpt for one bag which contains 10
9-ounce coins.  How do you find out which bag contains 10 9-ounce coins with only ONE measurement on the scale? I dont know if this is a trick question or not, but ive thought through it all I could and cannot figure out this one. If it is a trick question id just say weight it with your hands by grabbing each individual one and seeing which is lighter. I do highly doubt it is a trick question though so id love to know the answer =)

I'm in a very trolly mood tonight, I apologize if I offend...


I'd charge more than 50k gold for mimi's head. I would already have denied you here.

Your hit seems a little off... From me playing a dk for a very brief period I thought 8% was the cap, if it is then why aren't you gearing / gemming for it? If you were where you needed to be hit wise... wouldn't it be more optimal to do 10 str 10 hit gems instead of the 10 str 10 crit gems, then getting crusher to gloves? I think 44ap > 20 crit. I know very little about melee classes.

Also, you're apping to an amazing guild, I'd spend 4k / 10k gold to get blacksmithing up to 400 so you look like a more serious applicant. Good luck!

I do completely realize that about my hit, I just lost some so I will be replacing with a couple 10 str 10 hit, that'll put me right at 264. That would be a good idea for the gloves too, thanks. 44 AP > 20 crit.

ok ok and about the 50k. Thats currently what IRON was charging for it, so that's why I put it out there.

Gems changed and enchants changed immediately, I have tomorrow off from everything so ill have a lot of time to spend on finishing my mats for blacksmithing. Honestly I didnt have a lot of gold because i spent 45k+ getting saronite for shadows edge on my old server so I was reduced to farming mats for blacksmithing, im about 75% there, why stop now?

Sorry for the late response.

Gear looks mediocre. You have all 251 t10. Ouch. You have 245 ring neck and belt.   Sad Pretty bad overall.
You are using the 264 sigil on every fight. It sucks for pretty much any fight where you aren't on the boss full time.


Your spec and glyphs are fine. No problems there.

Your logs are pretty good for your lack of gear. Unfortunately your progression is right around where our pug 25man raid is right now. You have no hardmode experience and you haven't even killed Putri, BQL or Sindragosa on normal.

Like I said in another app. I'm not sure what we are doing in terms of DKs right now. But right now I think you would be a bit behind in terms of gear and experience when it comes down to it.

Oh at the end of typing all this I decided to look at your UI. You use that terrible circle rune cooldown. I highly doubt you are able to hit pestilence while strafing and moving your camera. Not to mention Garg, dnd, horn, mindfreeze, strangulate, dark command, death grip, erw, chains, summon ghoul, and potions. That 100% impacts your performance and therefore is 100% unforgivable. Sorry, no thanks.

Well thanks anyways for looking at me. Unfortunately I cant fix lack of gear/ experience until I get into a better guild, so i'll just have to work my way up.

The glyph thing was just due to lack of motivation being in a lower guild that at any moment you're waiting for some idiot to make a mistake. You probably noticed I didnt pre-pot or use a speed potion in any encounter. But that's still 100% my fault.

I have been playing with my UI quite a bit, I was wondering if I could see yours or maybe you could tell me what you think some of the best addons for DKs are. Ill admit I am completely unfamiliar with a wide variety of addons.

Hell, maybe if I perfect some things Ill app in the future. Thanks for the help =)

The main things I feel are important to a DKs interface and play are:

1: a clear and easy way to read runes. With Runemaster, I know at a glance exactly where my runes are in their cooldowns. As a DK you should have memorized your main rotation anyways and it should be muscle memory. Your rune addon should simply help reinforce your memory. What I especially like about Runemaster is the fact that after using it for a while, you will know just from how the addon looks whether your rotation is on or off. Only for the most basic melee tank and spanks like festergut and saurfang will you be able to keep your perfect rotation throughout the entire fight and you need to know how to get back on a decent rotation after something gets messed up. Runemaster helps.

2: timers. notice how I didn't say just dot timers. It's up to the user to decide how many timers he or she needs and what they want to track. Listed in the order of importance.
Frost Fever
Blood Plague
Bone shield
Desolation
trinkets/buffs for gargoyle use
unholy blight

(If I was to spec frost for some reason, I would always have Killing Machine and Freezing Fog on needtoknow as well.)

Gargoyle takes a screenshot of your current dps state and will transfer stats over to it. You want to have the most shit popped for your first gargoyle. This usually happens within the first 10 seconds of dps, but again timers can help. I used to use timers for my trinkets and buffs just so I could compare uptime and learn the timing of their procs in real fights and have since gotten rid of them.

Some people like ForteExorcist or other timer addons. I think they are too flashy and prefer Needtoknow over anything. Easy to setup and completely modifiable, I keep mine simple and color coded to each disease (green blood plague blue frost fever) and its another thing that at a glance I know where my diseases are. Others prefer seeing the actual damage tick hash marks but I don't think that is necessary once you learn to refresh properly.


3: threat meter

pretty obvious. Mine is right next to my skada and not shown in the screenshot since I'm not in a raid.

----

That is pretty much it. Unitframes are a personal preference as well.

I use Stuf unitframes modified to be more minimalistic. I use bartender not only for the modified bars, but for the ability to get rid of my micromenu and bag frames. They simply take up viewing space. A lot of people like sexymap, I think its gorgeous but too big so I don't use it. I use MSBT as my combat text. I changed the font, made it smaller, made the crit not pop as big and changed the minimum dps shown to 700. Heals are the same way on the left side. Minimum heals shown are 1000.

obviously blood plague should be some sort of burnt orange color instead of ugly green, so i wouldn't listen to anything dougal says.

Thanks a lot dougal, that'll really help. Ill play around a lot with addons, especially with the rune master and cooldown ones.

By the way, you can reduce the size of sexy map so it doesnt take up quite as much room and still looks sexy =P

I think he already said no, as much as Id love to be here id say the same if I were in his shoes. I have some things to work on UI and keyboard-wise with keybindings and making things easier for me. Plus I havent downed lich king or done any hardmodes yet. Ill re-app in the future before cata most likely if DK recruitment is still open. By then I should be a lot better off. Good luck with Lich King hardmode =)

On a different note, you said you are connected with several guilds. Do you know any particular ones that would be good for me to app to?
