[Declined]Blaqq - Resto druid

Player Information
Character Name:Blaqq
Server:Barthilas
Current Guild: On the Dyno
Armory Link: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Barthilas&cn=Blaqq
Talent Spec: resto
Explanation of your spec, glyphs, gems and enchants:

Spec: My spec is fairly standard, the points in living seed, empowered touch and natures grace allow me to be a powerful tank healer if the situation arrises such as tank healers being picked up by valks and soul reaper being put onto the tank, im able to undertake the task with relative ease. The rest of the talents are fairly self explanitory and are genreally required if you are to be a compitent resto druid.

Glyphs: Again, my glyphs are fairly standard. WG - pretty self explnitory. Swiftmend - a must have for any resto druid who has a clue. Rapid Rejuv - this glyph is very helpful with bursts of raid damage such as in phase transitions on H LK where the normal tick time of rejuv would not be fast enough to get someone out of the red in time. i also may swap WG out for rejuv if i feel the need but that is all situational.

Gems: i am gemming SP, SP/hatse and SP/spirit which is the norm for resto druid, i will be gemming full SP once i get a haste offhand, but to maintain my 1sec GCD i must gem haste.

What makes you an exceptional player? The fact that i am able to play my role in a raid to my max potential. I feel that i can be aware of what is going on within a raid and watch my raid frames along with calling things out on vent and somtimes watching other people backs is somthing i think that makes any raider exceptional. it is sad that these days having 100% raid awareness is somthing u find in 10% of people in ICC. i also think my ablilty to undetake aditional roles within a raid and during a fight makes me an exceptional player.

WWS/WoL/WMO link of recent raids: I feel that healing meters tend to favour certain classes on certain bosses, but if you require one i can get it from my next raid which would be thursday at the latest, sorry.

+1 for me. Good attendance Good resto droood Good guy.
Think we need a resto druid anyway and if not it will be nice to have him on board for Cata.

they do, but still its pretty useful so link it whenever u can plx

why no 4 piece? from what ive read and heard it was amazing to have. pretty much a free heal when it procs

Would have torn this app apart back in the day... but I just can't be bothered anymore.

Short list without a novel for who cares enough to read:
No WWS - it's not about favour, it's about how you heal.
UI - Shit
Rapid Rejuv - :/
No 4 Piece - :/
Gems : SP/SPI -> SP/INT or just int.... what
Attendance - 100% well your better than most there so you might be in with a shot!

Haven't looked at your character, but goodluck with your application

no 4pc =/ also incombat screenshot plox being able 2 see boss mods and warnings is good

Just to answer Viskus's questions
- I will be putting a WWS up asap, i understand that you want to see what spells i use and how much.
- I myself think that my UI is great, its what i feel compfortable with and if im able to play to the best of my ability with this UI i see no problem. In the end its how the individual feels about it.
- Rapid Rejuv - i feel this glyph is great for particular fights and particular raid compositions, for example, in a fight like H LK, the glyph would be really helpful because raid damage is not constant throughout all phases and when there is raid damage it is quite rapid and in little bursts, but for fights such as blood queen, festergut or sindragosa, this glyph can cause me to not be able to completely cover a whole raid since it reduces the duration with haste, in these cases i swap rapid rejuv out for rejuv or nourish.
- 4 pc - at the moment if i am to put my four piece on it would make me lose my 1 sec GCD, i was waiting for a haste offhand to balence out the loss but i havnt been lucky. BUT i do swap out my crit bracers for TOTC haste ones and pop on the 4 pieces for certain fights such as BQL, fester, sindra and possibly halion. Using the haste offhand would casue me to go just short of the 1 sec GCD but from the research i have been doing on the piece it seems it is doing about 4-5% on aura tick fight , which isnt too bad and about the same as what trauma does, maybe a little less.
@ megarambo - ill get an SS of me in combat tonight and pop it up.

https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/f/recount.jpg/ - this is an SS or my healing charts in a 25 VoA.

https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/f/combatq.jpg/ - and this is an SS on me in combat

Thanks for your time.

why dont you just gem the haste to reach the haste cap with 4 piece? isnt the 4piece amazing enough to swap gems for it? (since they found out how the 4piece really works)

are you using anything to track your HoTs on grid?

I dont really track specific hots on individual players, but if i do have a hot on som1 a green box appears on the bottom left of their health bar.
And i could gem haste for the 4 pc but i have heard ALOT of differing views of the 4 pc, many people telling me its crap (i think i recall talking to seitarou about it) and others saying its decent, and now ive done some research, looking at some logs and its seems to do some decent healing, so i may chuck like 3 hatse gems to put me on the cap and once i get lucky enough to grab a haste offhand i can swap those back to SP.

it works like a smart heal and its a free heal it will jump from one target to the target that needs it the most in range without a rejuv and it doesnt over ride current rejuvs from yourself already on a target.

how do you track stacks of lifebloom on a tank? apart from a dot on grid do u have anything to tell you how many stacks its at and duration? i know most druids prob dont use it on 11/12 fights but i think its pretty key 2 have lifeblooms on tanks during h lk

also what about debuffs on people like unchained magic or infest do they show on grid aswell?

My grid tracks all important dubuffs such as unchained magic, mystic buffet, soul reaper, the MC on deathwhisper, all curses all poisens all diseases and all magic debuffs. As for stacks of lifebloom, i havnt been tracking them, it hasnt been as game breaking as ive just been farming 11/12 but ive come to understand that these small things tend to make the difference on fights like H LK and H halion. i can easily change this though.

Blaqq wrote:H LK and H halion

Not sure why people always compare the current content for what they should and shouldn't do. H Lich king is on farm for most guilds now, just like it's predecessors like anub, yogg etc etc etc
It's not really about what should be done on a certain end game boss at the present that is being pointed out.
101 for druid - your a hot healer, you should be tracking every god damn hot you have, duration, stacks or buff/debuff for a particular heal.

Pally's use healbot and grid lolz(insert pally flame). Real healers use other means to track and heal targets.

Visk

Pretty sure Lucki isn't a real holy pally
