Dysheki - Feral

[Dysheki]

Name: Dysheki
Class: Druid
Level: 80
Spec: Feral (mostly of the pew pew variety)
What is your dual-spec and what glyphs do you use for it: My second spec changes a lot. Right now the spec is more of a pvp oriented spec because I've been doing some BGs lately. The glyphs are also screwy (Survival Instincts, Maul, and Savage Roar). Usually for tanking I would switch out Savage Roar for Enraged Regen. I'm not really expected to tank at all in my current guild so I play around with it a lot.

Are you confident playing your secondary spec in a raid setting?: I would be confident in my tanking if I did it a little more. I tanked a lot during Naxx (Sarth 3D tank /yawn) but not really much at all since except for heroic 5 mans. It would take some time to check up on rotations for max threat, but I'm sure I would be comfortable with it given some time. The gear, however, is also a hodgepodge of gear ranging from 245/258/264 gear that I'm not even sure is set up correctly. Again, this is purely because I'm never expected to tank but I used to have a full dual feral spec and gear when it was expected of me. Also, we have another feral that is more enthusiastic about grabbing feral tank gear, so he's been getting more 277 off spec pieces for tanking than I have.

What alts do you have, if any? What experience do you have with these characters?: First alt 80 was a ret pally (Rehna) that I don't really enjoy playing. She is mostly for mining. Second 80 is my shadow priest (Radzin). I enjoy playing the spriest and have started being a little more serious about alt raiding with him. Working towards 4T10. Third alt mutilate rogue (Jitzu). Most BA gnome rogue ever. However . . . mut rogue is crazy boring. Also have an 80 ele shaman (Baaru). Super fresh.

VeCo pugs suck, however, so none of them have heroic experience.

Previous Guild History(Please include reasons you are no longer in that guild, PM me or Ameil if you don't want it public.): I never really seriously raided until Wrath (started playing around when BT was released), so I'll just stick with that guild history. <Blood Sworn> I joined them late in BC when I was starting to learn the basics of raiding. I loved playing the dual role of tanking and dpsing during the same fight and was able to fill that role perfectly. Continued to raid into Naxx with them (got all 10 man achievements, too many to worry about in 25 to get shocking and immortal). Of course everyone has an opinion and after time a huge chunk of people left Blood Sworn to form a different guild with some other people. Blood Sworn was left in no position to raid 25s and Ulduar was about to be released so I jumped ship to the different guild: <Malicious>. Jokingly during Firefighter attempts one time I said everyone was lucky I was not an officer because I would kick everyone that died to something stupid . . . they made me an officer on the spot (I thought it was a joke, but I continued to be an officer for some god awful reason). So here we are. I'm an officer in the top guild on a bad server and I'm applying somewhere else, why? I have basically put a vote of no confidence in our guild to do anything until Cataclysm. Some of our best players apparently don't want to stick it out and keep trying to better ourselves and we continue to be hit by the attendance/summer bug. Having to bring in new people who have no heroic experience is pretty depressing. We haven't gotten heroic Sindragosa again since we first got her weeks ago because of this. I really like all the people and the server is generally good, but this is a game and lately I've been joining raids against my will and not having fun. I want to jump into a different pond and see if I can start having some fun again.

Why <stalk and kill>?: You need a feral druid? >.< I just randomly went through the first several pages of the guild recruitment CTRL-F'ing for 'feral' and found you guys. I really think could join in and help get some great attempts on LK and down the bastard and hopefully help well into Cata.

Have you ever applied to us before? If so on what character(s): No. I have always been on VeCo.
Do you know anyone in the guild? Would that person support you applying?: No.
Have you read and agree to the information posted here and here?: Yes.

When are you able to play/raid: I can play basically any time after 5:30 EST until the middle of the night, though I typically don't log on right after work and get some other shit done before raid. Weekends are hit or miss depending on what's going on, but this wouldn't matter as much since you raid during the week.

Do you have any forseeable complications with committing to 75% raid attendance?: In the near future, no. The only thing that could get in the way: I captain a B league hockey team and we have a game every week and a half or so. Hopefully most games will be on Sundays as they have been in the past but sometimes they are during the week. I will be able to give you notice well in advance when I can't make raid and it will never be more than once a week, typically I would guess once a month total (if previous schedules hold true).

Post a link to your character from http://armorylite.com(Please log out in the set you would be using in raids.): http://armorylite.com/us/the+venture+co/dysheki

The trinket that is shown as a question mark is the Halion 271 armor pen trinket and I think that is ruining my . . . gear score or whatever is on that site. I also only have one piece of 277 tier because all that drops is fucking conq. because apparently the warrior with shadowmourne needs more help. Mantra: random is random. /deep breaths

Please explain your gemming/enchanting choices: Mostly I try my best to stay on the upper ends of the armor pen cap. Recently I received the trinket from Halion and that pushed me over, so I made some changes. Now I'm closer to being hit capped and expertise capped. I don't really neeed to be hit/exp capped since I'm still a little bit shy of the crit cap, but I like to keep my avoided attacks low and prefer to pay attention to raid mechanics rather than ruin what I planned to do because of a couple misses and I didn't notice it immediately. Enchanting choices are pretty simple: Agi if I can get it, a couple spots with hit to help reach 7% (we usually have draenei), and AP/stats that fill in a couple spots. Druids are mostly cookie cutter for enchants.

What Glyphs do you use and why: Again, mostly cookie cutter for ferals. Savage Roar for an extra 3% damage, Rip to extend rips 4 seconds, and Shred to extend rips up to 6 seconds with 3 shreds. Glyph of mangle is worthless.

Given that armory doesn't always work, or show offset/unequipped items, please list any other gear you have that you feel is important to your desired raid role: I don't really have much else for my dps feral spec that I have but don't use, but I have a couple sets of gear. Tank and boomkin. I went to chardev to upload the two offsets. The gems are not there, it would take forever please don't make me XD (also, some pieces don't have gems anyway, no one wants me for anything but cat dps). So I just pick up items that would otherwise be sharded. And I've never actually played boomkin, just toying around with the idea lately.

Not in a raid, but I'll explain a few things below my character. The big white thing is a clearcasting proc. I make it obnoxious so I know I have it and use it immediately. The purple ring and counter is savage roar and what's left on the buff. The white number is combo points. Then rip/rake below that, self explanatory. I have DBM countdowns below the map on the right, with the urgent ones happening soon to the right of my cluster of info. Grid shows all characters for me. I have not keybound my lock health pot :-\ I also use power auras for specific things: i.e. soul combustion and soul consumption are giant meteors on top of my character.

Do you have Ventrilo and a mic? Can you be on Ventrilo in raids without lagging or DCing?: Yes. Yes.
Is your internet connection/computer stable?: Yes.

Tell us a bit about you(IRL, if this is "My name is 'Name' and I'm a your average 'Age' year old 'Gender'." then you have failed.): I'm a programmer/analyst that has had the same job since graduation . . . . and I hate my job. I'm going back to school this fall to get my teaching certification so little noobs don't suck balls in life (classes in the day for the fall semester). As I said earlier, I play hockey, and I love the sport. No, I am not a milk bagger (Canadian), though I do live perilously close to them. Outside of that I've been a gamer my whole life. One time when I was super young I was playing Atari and I had to use the bathroom. It was the decision of a lifetime but I think I made the right choice by just letting it go. Ummmmmmmmm, don't play FPSers anymore, used to a lot in high school with Quake/CS/Halo but stopped shortly after. Got addicted to this stupid game somewhere in the middle of BC. etc etc. I also like long walks on the beach after anal.

How old are you?: 27
Tits or gtfo?(Pics may or may not be required.): It would take at least a few decades, I hope, before I'll have any tits to show you.

Impress us: I was in Vegas last May playing poker and three kids in their early 20s come up to play. They are obnoxious (have been drinking) and want to play at the no limit table but can't because it's full . So they sit down at my lowly 2/4 limit table. Now I haven't been following poker, so I am not aware of who the top players are, but I learned after that one of the players is Jason Mercier (pretty big name) and the other two were relative no names. But just this summer one of the no names (Chance something-or-other) won Event 50 of the WSOP in omaha hi-lo. He commented at one point that I may be the best poker player he never heard of. Also I won my middle school bowling championship. Does that impress you? No? K. Well, I banged your mom last night so eat it.

Wait, was I supposed to impress you about something in WoW? Ummmmmmmmmm, sorry, I got nothing.

Lastly respond to the following phrases:

QQ: bless you
Tweet Tweet: That makes me think of birds. Birds make me think of Anzu. Anzu makes me think about suicide. Thanks, brb cutting against the river.
fgt: s my d
I go out walkin, after midnight: Watch ur butthole.
IZ U MAD?: NO U MAD (insert endless loop of 'no u')
Sorry bro, I'm feral: No shit, let's hang. Wait, you aren't up for the same raid spot are you?
check out my gear: *slowly walks away*



If you need anything clarified let me know. Thanks for the consideration.

Not so fast, guys. VeCo is an RP server. He's one of them.

Actually yeah you'll probably fit in really well here. You and Tobin can be bffs.
