[closed] Snared - Prot Warrior

1) WoW Compendium:
• /played: 49 days 9 hours
• /played at level 80: 35 days 21 hours
• When did you start playing?: Started playing WoW about a month after release, although I've gone through several accounts and characters along the way.
• Play time: Honestly I don't have a job and am not going to school at the moment so I literally play most of the day. 6+ hours at least, sometimes I throw other games in there as well. My sleep schedule is messed up so I usually get up about 4-5pm and go from there.
• Guild/Server history: Started my raiding career on Nathrezim alliance raiding with the guild Axis of the Revolution. I saw all vanilla content up to C'thun on a mage in that guild. I've been on 10+ different servers but have always had a character on Shadowmoon.
• End-game experience: As I said above, raided through AQ40 on my mage in vanilla, didn't see Naxx in vanilla as I sold that account and played a rogue with rl friends on Shadowmoon instead. In BC I hardly raided at all, although I did watch videos and such of encounters for "fun". I ran Kara, ZA, Gruul, and Magtheridon on a rogue, holy paladin, and hunter, but didn't go past that. I mostly PvP'd in BC. In Wrath I've experienced all raids extensively except for Ulduar. I've done some ToC hardmodes on various characters and am familiar with most of the ICC hardmodes, although the only one I've actually done is gunship. I started WotLK playing my rogue, Appleseeds, and switched to my Warrior around the time ToC came out.
• Other classes you play: Rogue, Priest, Hunter at 80. Several others from 60-79.
• Armory link: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... &cn=Snared
• WMO/WoL: I don't have a log prepared, but I do run recount. If this is a problem let me know and I'll work on preparing one.

2) Personal Compendium:
• Age: 19
• Location: Maple Grove, Minnesota
• Sex: Male
• Other games you play: HoN, CS:S, BFBC2, SC2, DoD:S and 1.3, Killing Floor, TF2.
• What do you hate: People who have to be singled out and told what they're doing wrong to be able to do it right. Basically stupid people.
• I think my biggest weakness is…: I have a habit of blaming others to deflect blame from myself.

3) Do you feel your gear is up to par with what we need?
I feel that it's close to what you need, but definitely needs some work.

4) Are you exalted with Sons of Hodir?
Yep.

5) Do you PvP?
Yep. Although I haven't really enjoyed WotLK pvp overall.

6) Dual Spec: For PvE: Arms DPS
• Can you play it as well as your main spec? No.
• Would you change main specs if need be? Yeah but I don't really enjoy DPSing.

7) Professions: Engineering, Enchanting
• What do you gain from them? Armor to gloves enchant for Engineering. 30 Stam ring enchants and spending money from Enchanting.
• If you have gathering, what’s stopping you from changing them? N/A

8) UI Screenshot with List of Bindings: http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m33/ ... 181027.jpg
1 Revenge, 2 Shield Bash, 3 Devastate, 4 Shield Slam, 5 Shield Block, Shift1 Charge, Shift2 Mouseover Intervene, Shift3 Intercept, Shift4 Thunder Clap, Shift T Challenging Shout, ShiftQ Intimidating Shout, ShiftE Shield Wall, ` Taunt, ~ Corroded Skeleton Key, X Blood Fury, ShiftX Zerker Rage, F Shockwave, ShiftF Heroic Throw, V Battleshout mod:alt Commanding Shout, ShiftV Demoralizing Shout, R Last Stand macro (Last stand, trinket, healthstone, Enraged Regen + Bloodrage), ShiftR Encounter based item or macro, ShiftG rocket boots, G rocket gloves, Midmouse Disarm, Mouse5 Cleave, Mouse4 Heroic Strike, T Conc Blow, Q Bloodrage, E Spell reflect


9) You will need lots of consumables to keep up with the pace during progression raids. How would you expect us to react if you were to show up unprepared?
I'd expect to probably be replaced if there is someone prepared, or to be punished some other way if there isn't.

10) Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters?
Of course.


11) There will be bench time. Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. How will you handle this?
Go play an alt or a different game or work on an achievement.


12) Why should we accept you?
I'm a tank who knows what the fuck they are doing, who has gear you can work with, and who already knows some people in the guild. And I'm not a sufferer of Tank Syndrome. I.E. I'm not a complete dick to everyone I meet.

13) Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm going to college with a major in Criminal Justice.
I don't do any drugs or drink, I enjoy computer games (obviously). In the winter I like to play hockey, snowmobile, skate, etc. In the summer I like spending time at my cabin and jet skiing, tubing, boating, swimming.
I like pretty much any kind of music except for country.

• WMO/WoL: I don't have a log prepared, but I do run recount. If this is a problem let me know and I'll work on preparing one.


recount is pretty much worthless when you're app'ing as a tank

I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for. A copy pasted combat log?

Re: Snared - Prot Warrior

If you do /combatlog, it creates a file in your wow folder that you upload to wol, etc. It's not an addon, just part of wow, so you have it by default.

Re: Snared - Prot Warrior

- Why are you using Agility/Stam gems instead of Expertise/Stam Gems?
- 4 Piece tier is better, unless you don't have it but I do not see why you wouldn't since its so easy to get badges.
- Why devastate glyph?
- Engineer/Enchanter, odd combo for a tank but I guess it works. Blacksmithing instead of engineering is a lot better for a tank.

Re: Snared - Prot Warrior

Agility/Stam over Expertise because threat isn't a problem for me at this juncture, and the only bosses that have parry haste to my knowledge are Fester/Rot. If I had problems surviving on those bosses, or problems with threat, I may gem differently.

I do have 4pc Tier, but they're 251 pieces. I prefer the Stam/Armor from the 264 to the set bonus except on certain fights where I prefer the on demand absorb.

Devastate because of the extra threat it generates when Revenge/Shield Slam/Shockwave are on CD.

Blacksmithing gives slightly more stam while Engi gives a lot of armor instead of a sub-par glove enchant without it. Meh. If I was on the bleeding edge of content I'd probably switch professions.

You say threat isn't a problem, yet below you say you use devastate glyph because of the extra threat it generates...hmm.. Also Festergut and Rotface do not parry haste. Only bosses in ICC that can are LDW and Sindragosa.

Snared wrote:Devastate because of the extra threat it generates when Revenge/Shield Slam/Shockwave are on CD.


Well as you stated above that threat isn't a problem, I don't see why you use this glyph. With the 30% buff right now I can see how people can get lazy about using defensive cool downs and even forget about them because shield wall glyph comes in mighty handy for me since I have no threat issues.

Snared wrote:Blacksmithing gives slightly more stam while Engi gives a lot of armor instead of a sub-par glove enchant without it. Meh. If I was on the bleeding edge of content I'd probably switch professions.


Well, HP = Stam * 10 * 1.1 * 1.09 * 1.30
10 HP = 1 stam
1.1 Kings modifier
1.09 Warrior modifier
1.30 ICC Buff
So if you got rid of engineering for blacksmithing, you would gave two sockets which would be socketed with 30 stamina gem, and your glove enchant would gone, and replaced with 18 stamina. If I did my math right that would be 78 stamina. So 78 stamina would equal 1215.786 HP (using the formula above). I really don't feel like going into it with armor % and crap cause that's a lot of math and weird things I don't want to do. But you can see that BS looks a tad better over the increase of armor gained from engineering. And since your applying to conspiracy who I would say are on the "Nose-bleeding content (Changed for didi)" since they are currently working on Heroic halion 25 and then heroic LK, I think min/maxing would be your best choice, instead of "Meh" while applying to a guild you want to get into.

Anyway, not trying to attack you, I am just trying to help you be a better player :-)

Re: Snared - Prot Warrior

there is no bleeding-edge content. there is, however, nose-bleeding content - as in, your nose starts bleeding when you fall asleep and hit your face on the keyboard.

I remember reading a thread on EJ that said they had parry haste back around the time of 5% buff, maybe the poster was wrong.

Because I already have Shield Wall glyph.... and because it stacks sunders quickly.... and because there's not another glyph I need out at the moment. I'm not "lazy" with my cooldowns. Prot is one of the only specs in the game that has room for personalization and unique glyphs/talent choices. It's not a DPS spec with a strict min/max. Sure, there are mandatory talents/glyphs, but there's a lot that comes down to personal choice. Stop nitpicking my glyphs when they are absolutely fine and you aren't even in this guild.

I understand BS supplies more Stam, while Engineering supplies more armor. Thanks. I think it's fairly obvious it's not my lack of blacksmithing that's the reason for no one but friends and ex-members replying to my app.

He's telling you this because he has experience playing the class, and is only trying to help. Also, you shouldn't exactly be telling ANYONE to stop nitpicking your app when it is YOUR app after all. Doesn't matter if he's an ex member or a friend, his name is green and yours isn't for a reason. I understand that you're trying to make a point here, but you have no reason to be calling someone out like that.

Re: Snared - Prot Warrior

No, its because you are not getting accepted. I like picking at prot warrior apps for DB, even though he knows just as much as me, hes just doesn't feel the need to nit pick cause hes to occupied with finding new pairs of sun glasses.

P.S I think I meant to say Glyph of Last Stand or something like that, because I see you have SW glyph now.
