End-game experience: Mainly just heroic IC dungeons, the weekly quest and VoA 10/25 on this toon and my Warlock

Do you stand in fire?: No
Mods/addons do you use in raids: DBM, Vuhdo, Recount and Omen are the main ones.

Fight Rotations: Keep all my HoTs up on tanks while keeping up Wild Growth then Rejuvenation on damaged raid members + Swiftmend or Nourish.
What it means to be in a casual guild: It means that I have the privilige to raid with and get to know guildies and opt out of raiding if circumstances arise, where i can't raid. Also the other members of the guild will be able to count on me being there if i say i will raid.

Omg no no .... hes a pure noob




Just Jokes

Bull is a good healer. I met him when my friend and I tried to get our own raiding guild established on Nagrand, which unfortunately was unsuccessful.

Bull healed ICC for us last night on two bosses he had not encountered before and I was pretty impressed with his performance.

Hi,

thanks for applying here, too bad that your voucher is unable to dps more than a level 5 gnome... joking

I had a look at you and gear wise you are ok. I find odd to see more int and less haste on the gems (with a soft cap that depending on specc go from 735 to 856). Sure a good sinergy with the meta, but really need all that Int? I'm not telling you is wrong, just curious.

I see you using the pvp shoulder enchant. How far are you from (that fuking annoying) Hodir rep?

That's all for now, we will let you know soon.

Ciao!

First off, I must commend your healing that night - keeping at least three people up by yourself and not with the best of gear.

Just a few things.
Why did you choose the Wild Growth glyph instead of Lifebloom or Regrowth? I personally see better effects in either of those two than just one additional target being healed, which will most likely be covered by the other two healers. Would like to hear your views on this.

Same with Tukk, can you explain to us your reasoning behind your gemming.

Cheers.

Firstly with the gems, that was a bit of a stuff up when I upgraded my gear and is now fixed with haste gems. Thanks for pointing that out.

I use the glygh of Wild Growth and not Lifebloom or Regrowth as the way I see it the more I can keep HoTs up on at a time the more efficient I am as a raid healer. Also Lifebloom glygh only gives 1 sec extra on that HoT which I don't need as I find in my rotation I have a tendency to refresh it early. Regrowth I don't use very much for the heal mainly just the HoT so I didn't see the point of having the Nourish glygh as well as Regrowth when i use Nourish most of the time and try and spam Wild Growth as much as I can.

Hodir (you're right, is fukin annoying) rep is half way through friendly at the moment. I haven't had much time to work on rep recently but that will be my top priority.

Thanks for the feedback from ICC, I had fun.

The glyphs are ok, the regrowth one was a stable one before noursih got love with 3.something patch. But now nourish is way better spell to use. The wild growth one, especially with the t10 set piece is a wonder. And more hots on a target become a bigger nourish effect for a fast recovery.

I'm sorry, I don't know what faction I was looking at but was actually honored with the Sons of Hodir when I answered and am now 95% through revered. Just 1k to go which I will get tomorrow.

Application accepted. Whisper an officer for an invite.
