Druid Noodledoodle - Feral

[Noodledoodle]

1. What is your character name/class/race/is English your 1st language? If you are not max level, do not waste your time and more importantly our time.

Moodledoodle/Druid/Tauren/English is my first language

2. Do you have a reference from GC who told you to apply? If so, who and how do you know them?

N/A

3. Link your Armory profile and screenshot of your ui. LOG OUT IN YOUR PVE GEAR. If your armory does not represent your raiding gear set-up, do not expect a quick or meaningful reply. Please explain the extra detail that may not be displayed by your Armory and that you feel is important to note. Why are you specced the way that you currently are? Again, be detailed as this will be the most analyzed section of your application.

Armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&gn=The+Fabled
( My character lacks a decked out 277 set and best in slot trinkets, this is understood. My previous guild had a falling out that led to little raid time. )
Interface: http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8...0610233736.jpg

I designed my current build around maximum damage. Improved Mangle was deemed unnecessary because of it's little effect on the recently increased Mangle duration.

My stat values are : Armor Penetration > Hit/Expertise > Agility > Haste > Strength

I use RAWR to help me organize my current and potential gear to produce theoretical number comparisons that I always back up with personal knowledge and/or reliable online sources for certainty. When a new mechanic or gear change is implemented I will always search and compare to be at the top of my game at all times.

4. What Glyphs would you use for your pve raid spec and why?

Shred, Savage Roar and Rip. Not only do these glyphs provide the highest overall effective damage (And I've seen and compared some numbers personally) but they affect abilities commonly used in my rotation and can be relied on provide a benefit in a large window of time. A lesser choice, such as Glyph of Berserk (if you don't run out of energy before reaching the entire benefit) is easy to have cut short by need to move, act on the raid via Ressurections, Innervates, or modify my rotation to accommodative a boss mechanic.

5. List any WWS or WMO parses you may have. If you don't have one, get one -- WMO is free.

http://www.variadic.org/faal/sws/sws...409/index.html

Feel free to look at any boss that night, or from the previous week that I raided with them. Note that this week was my first experience of Heroic Sindragosa and Professor Putricide, I encountered some issues in my previous guild during it's final days that impeded my raiding and gear progression.

As well, for damage, take into I account that the numbers in my gear set are nowhere near what I'd like them to be. I don't have a Deathbringer's Will, I'm not currently at the pinnacle of the Armor Penetration or Hit Rating caps and my damage is much more capable than what is before you.

6. List your typical playtime for each day of the week.

4pm CST - 3am CST (7 days weekly, I will usually miss raids on important holidays unless I don't happen to have plans OR if the guild is pushing for an important progression ranking, however Blizzard is usually kind about scheduling new content around holidays. )

7. Why are you interested in joining GC, and what are your goals once guilded?

I want to participate in a raid environment with the same level of dedication, knowledge and skill as I have, or beyond. I would be totally baffled to be playing my best and yet be one of the worst players in the guild. Obviously I fancy myself a world class player or I wouldn't be here, but you can understand where I come from there. Loot isn't everything, I get excited seeing a boss drop decent items for any reliable and skilled player because I know it will offer a significant boost to their ability and the guild's progression as a whole.

My goals once guilded would be to continue to hone my skills and mastery of my class and reach beyond my limits as a player. I hope to make friends and enjoy a long lasting guild membership.

8. Are you on Korgath? If not what server?

No, currently on Hyjal (Horde)

9. (Own Question) Looking great on paper is one thing, contributing to a guild with a reputation of world class performance is another, how do you feel you can contribute to the guild and help to maintain and expand on this reputation?

It is necessary for a player to be much more than what meets the eye, cow man in disguise or not. I'm an obsessive person, I would not label myself with obsessive compulsive disorder with the rest of them, but I do care a lot about my raid performance because it is an important hobby. I always make sure to balance game play and real life, I work very hard to achieve, I will refrain from participation if I am too ill, I make sure I have enough sleep, eat well, exercise, this goes for any aspect of my life if I want to succeed. Warcraft specific, I am always on the ball and trying to learn from my mistakes. I design my interface to maximize my ability to see and understand the raid environment and perform at a top notch level. Moving out of void zones, fires and crashing blobs of all colors of the rainbow are not new mechanics, and thus should be treated as such. I am quite hard on myself when I make mistakes, and refuse to take no for an answer.

10. Detail your MMO background and prior raid experience. Detail your raiding expertise or lack there of (Direct most of this towards WoW, though if you have an exceptional story or background from another game please share). If you were in a major guild (top 3 of your team/server) in the past or recent, please detail your role within the guild and why you left. Even if you were not in a “major” guild please list the most recent 2 guilds and your role and why you left. DO NOT make a list of the last 20guilds you have been a member of. Detail anything that you feel would help give us insight to your value as a raider.

World of Warcraft was my first MMO, however not my first video game. I started as a casual player in the Burning Crusade on my Rogue and leveled a Feral Druid to begin raiding late patch 2.4. Leveling I would run Underbog speed runs, and worked vigorously to learn this new class. Upon reaching 70 I farmed Karazhan and Zul Aman 4 chest runs eventually creating my own guild for the Wrath of the Lich King. My first progression raid experience was as the Main Tank, the Guild and Recruitment master, Raid Leader and all. It was high intensity, high pressure right from the start. My first guild experiences were rather short following the demise of my own due to poor attendance, for I always seeked something greater, I always wanted to play with players at the same level as myself. And now I feel that indeed, The Gentlemen's Club is that final destination.

Insomniacs - Llane - Alliance (Realm #5) Time in Guild: May 2009 - August 2009. Left for the prospect of higher progression and an older guild environment.

Casual - Hyjal - Alliance (Realm #1 until April 2010) Time in Guild : September 2009 - May 2010. Took an unexpected break for school in April, was met with resentment, a very much degraded raid environment, a new and much lesser office front and new players left and right (whom were terrible).

11. List references and means of contact. If you have any friendships/ingame experience with current GC members please elaborate.

Zemme - Hyjal (Alliance)
Danji - Hyjal (Alliance)
Goodapollo - Hyjal (Horde)
Cyaxeres - Hyjal (Horde)

12. What movie have you seen more times than any other?

Elizabethtown, I love romance movies.

13. How old are you? What do you do for a living?

19, I'm currently working following the end of my High School education and will eventually work towards a career in Computer Engineering.

14. Were you ever an officer or obtained a leadership position of your past guild(s), if so explain your role.

As explained above, I created my own guild and headed it entirely, as well as led the raids and acted as the Main Tank. However, I have never been offered an officer position outside of this.

15. Do you have internet reliability? Disconnecting frequently is not acceptable for raiding. How good is your computer? Do you get low fps on aoe intense fights?

A wired connection, the only way it has ever gone is when the household forgets to pay the bill. (They get lost so easily)

Excellent gaming rig, any big of extra cash goes into upgrading it.
Intel Quad Core 2.66GHZ
6 gigs memory
GeForce 8800 GTS 640 mb (clocked)

I have never seen low fps on aoe intensive or graphically intensive fights. Onyxia whelps, both trash packs on Sindragosa, bring it on and my rig can handle it.

16. Are you the original owner of your account? If not explain. No, this isn’t a trap and using a friends account or how ever you acquired the character does not void you from joining and raiding. However, if it discovered that you falsely claimed ownership of the character you are applying with, you will be removed from raiding capacity with the current or any other characters from other accounts.

Yes, and authenticator bound

17. Have you ever had an online relationship with the opposite sex. Did you ever fly to meet them or vice versa? Was this relationship in WoW? Did it end? If not why are you letting it persist? Does she or he know it's a dead end? Have you ever wanted to have an online relationship, if so with whom?

This question is kind of a dead end question, because you're not asking about my various homosexual relationships with blood elf mages on various RP realms across the french realms of Warcraft Europe.

18. Amaze us with your theorycrafting abilities. This is your opportunity to show us how much you know about your class. You may provide us with any spreadsheets or combat sim logs that will aid your explanations. DO NOT simply make a list of things someone told you to do, tell us WHY.

I just blindly follow everything EJ tells me, when I see new loot I punch it into an outdated version of Rawr, or just use Shadowpather, it's pretty much the same class anyways. As long as my gear scores goes up my damage is pretty much guarenteed to see an increase, I don't see the point is going through all of this "crafts" to do more damage, I'm just one player in a raid anyways. The difference between Fish Feast and Hearty Rhino is minimal at best anyways, and prepotting gets me dead so I don't like it.

In all seriousness I'm actively seeking out the answers to "why" in every aspect of my character, Feral is a large headache at times. Icecrown's stats leave us with such rediculous amounts of critical strike chance that we're actually capping out our melee white swings (74.2% to my understanding) and going for haste and even possibly strength if gear hits that point before the Cataclysm according to what I've seen from simulation. Using Ferocious Bite in the middle of a berserk is a fool's idea, as I've noticed it still drains extra energy (similar to Execute) at the same rate as normal, stripping you of precious potential damage. One thing I've learned about progression is NEVER FOLLOW THE INTERNET BLINDLY. Stats pass each other in value all of the time at different points throughout a patch, or after a patch. What's good for any Feral at normal gear levels may not be the best for your fucked up DKP deprived ass.

19. How did you hear about our guild?

You've always been at the top of progression, I've trolled your site from time to time and you seem like a great group of fellas/Amazon war goddess creatures.

Why are you 19 and still in high school?

[Noodledoodle]

I've finished now. I moved a lot living with my parents, whom are not drug addicts. Upgrading and course overlap landing me 0 credits in some places.

On the plus side I really enjoy his UI. Esp the little map icon for heroic attempts remaining.

Just an addition, mostly concerning my interface seen as I had left out information. My UI is not 65 mb by any means, it's 9.1 mb. I believe I had auctioneer active at the time. Also most of my bindings are hidden in a mouse-over bar on the right side of the screen. Everything a Feral would need and probably wouldn't need is bound. Heals, cooldowns, Racials/CC, forms. I value quick reactions and quick responses, you can't be clicking this shit.
