TG raids 5 days a week when the content demands it, 6:30-11:30 EST Sunday to Thursday. Would you be able to maintain an 80% attendance rate?: yes the progression guild on scilla i was in raided 5 days a week and i had almost 100% attendance. i missed a 2 days due to the birth of a child


Do you know anyone in TG who would vouch for your skill as a player? If so, who?: unfortunately no, i haven't been on arthas in a while


What is you previous guild history and explain any reasons why you left them. (long answer):
on OG arthas pre-bc i was in the butchers until a few months before 2.0. i left them and started raiding with SECURITY. i raided with them for 2 weeks but ran into some RL problems that caused me to take a break from wow for about a month before 2.0 hit. after BC hit i rerolled enhance shammy. the butchers wouldn't let me raid as enhance because it was before they got their threat fix or something so...

BC i raided with SHARKS WIT LASERS PEW PEW. we cleared ssc/tk in about a month and a half or something with people still in blues. went on to BT/MH and sunwell.

WotLK sharks transferred off Arthas before the expansion came out but after 3.0 to tortheldrin. i was torn between what char to level up so i leveled my warrior to 70 because tanking became fun, then i just leveled a DK up when they became available. sharks had to many dks and the server was bare so i transferred to scilla. i was in a couple of small guilds before i joined the progression guild called EDEN on scilla. They were definitely good raiders, but some of their guild policies were kind of lame e.g. you weren't ever to talk in general chat pretty much anywhere, couldn't have funny forum avatars. just some really dumb stuff, that i just couldn't stand to bear after a while because it was ridiculous some of the rules. the leaders and gms made other things fun however and were very pro and provided good insight. and there was a person who was comepletely disrespectful to not just me but everyone, it wasn't about taking criticism it was just outright disrespect. all of these things just ate at me over time and i decided that i wasn't going to be unhappy just to raid and see content. so i gquit. guild i'm in now is an alt guild i made up.


Have you ever been a raid leader, class leader, officer, or website administrator with another guild? (long answer): i was a raid leader in a small guild before i joined EDEN on scilla. it was called blacklist. i helped raid lead our 10 man group to mimiron before i joined EDEN.


Why do you want to join TG over another guild on this server? (long answer):
cause you are fucking pro


Please describe in detail your previous raid experience, pre-BC, BC, and current content. Include information if you participated in pre-nerf kills, legitimate attunements (such as Hand of A’dal), etc. (long answer):
pre-bc c'thun and up to patchwerk SECURITY/the butchers. as a rogue.

BC all of the content my enhance shaman had champion of naaru, and hand of a'dal. pre 3.0 up to Muru. post 3.0 everything else.

WotLK all of naxx. all meta's for glory of ulduar raider *edit*(10 and 25 man). have 10 man algalon title. up to anub on 10/25 ToTC. although i still lack meta's for glory of the raider. also because i joined EDEN as ulduar came out i do not have 3D sarth. or 6min maly... even though i consistently stacked flames to 20+


Explain in detail the way you DPS/Heal/Tank, rotations, gear selection, gemming, etc. Convince us that you have thorough and extensive knowledge of your class. Links to WWS (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) or similar performance recording tools are helpful. (long answer):
For DPS I gem'd and geared for blood. once i hit 6.2k ap raid buffed i started gemming for ArP.

rotation depends on group make up or if there are adds close to a boss but are generally like this if there is a marks hunter in the group:

it>ps>hs>hs>ds>dump>horn/RG>ds>hs>hs>hs>hs>DRW repeat

i would link you a log of my last raid with eden but you have to be joined to their guild on world of logs to view them :/


Describe your gaming system. Your computer needs to be good enough to not cause problems raiding. Frame lag, ping, connection problems, not using a microphone + Ventrilo or crashing is not acceptable. (long answer):
2.9 quad core with 8 gigs of ram 8800gtx x2 with 2gigs of vram. my ping usually sits around 60-80ms. i have used ssh tunneling before... but since i changed the tcpack rate i don't really need it anymore.


Why are you worth being one of the 25 people in a raid? Please list anything else you'd like to mention about yourself that we might have missed. (long answer):
i'm dedicated to raiding. as i mentioned before the past 3 months that i've been with EDEN i've missed 2 raids due to a child birth. I am able to use my brain in a raid environment e.g. if the snaplasher is at 10% and water elemental is at 50% and stormlasher is at 30% get water and storm down to 10% before attacking snaplasher again. also, i've usually been the one to chain the snaplasher and bombots in uld hard modes because i actually know how to do it. i haven't ever been legitimetly hit by a cloud on yogg during any lights nor in the dark attempts.

i'm a pretty easy guy to get along with. i respect a lot about the people that have been in this game a while and respect my raid leaders as well. i know they have hard jobs trying to make 20+ other people do things right so we can kill stuff. I have many of the 10 man uld achieves due to being in the guilds first 10man group after raids usually going to 2 or 3 in the morning to learn strats for hardmodes and because i had fun with the group of peeps i went with. i like to raid, i like to get shit done. i don't really like excuses, but i understand RNG is bullshit.

lastly there aren't many hard things to do in this game even in hard modes. i just keep my head straight and stay calm and kill shit.

Can you handle criticism?:
i can handle criticism just fine. i cannot and will not handle disrespect and yes i know the difference between the two.


How can we contact you?:

Great application for sure.
I'm a bit confused about your gems however. You have some ARP (28%) but I don't think that's the cap, however do you reach the cap say through talents in blood also?
I'm trying to understand why you partially gem for ARP and partially for Strength..?

with talents i'm at 38%. i was waiting for the thorim 10 hardmode trinket to drop but then i got my legs. so i just went ahead and gem'd those straight ArP however, i stopped raiding after i got my legs and didn't bother with gemming the rest of my gear ArP yet. i must apologize for this as i should have switched them out before i even app'd but i will go ahead and do it now.

*i didn't plan on faction changes being available this soon, but i saw you all had an opening for a DK and thought i'd get on it before it was closed.

was skimming back over this response, and someone else in-game asked me the same question. Still need to be around 6.2k AP for ArP to outweigh strength, with my current gems and raid buffs i am hovering right around there again.

now on arthas.

blood set is almost optimized with ArP. Kind of weary about gemming some of the rest of it out with the inc. nerf. i'll be puggin naxx for GT and try to get a good group for thorim 10 hard for the other ArP trink.

still working on alchemy it will be max'd asap.

i was trying out DW frost last night in a VoA 25 group. wasn't able to utilize it properly as i was pushing threat on the tank pretty good. need a good tank and run to test it out effectively but my set is still pretty decent for it.

here is an updated armory link: Danwhite - Arthas (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Arthas&n=Danwhite)

Won't DW pretty much tank with 3.2.2 and Unholy will be the dps spec after that?

danwhite
09-11-2009, 02:08 PM
not that i know of. ArP while not a wasteful stat for DW isn't really that much of a nerf for it. Blood AoE got nerfed a little with the HS change. and the only buffs to unholy were taking the RNG out of the SS glyph. as far as dps that is. the dirge nerf was to make oblit/unholy less attractive... i think it still stands that oblit still scales better than SS.

so this guy has obviously spent a lot of time trying to impress. Can we get a word on this guy or bring him to a raid to see whats up? We really need another constant dk and i think this is a prospective player.
