A few things

Mehguy — Sun, 09/14/2014 - 22:12

A few things...

  1. You are missing enchants on your chest, bracers and gloves.  You used to be 6/8H in DS so you know that enchants are very important.  While the gear that isnt enchanted is all Raid Finder, we still look to see people putting their best foot forward and always have their gear situated, even if it is Raid Finder.
  2. Talents - I'm assuming you keep Piercing howl for PvP purposes?  In PvE its very situational and I would recommend you use disrupting shout for that AoE interrupt on a mob/boss.  Very handy for Garrosh when too many people get MC'd and the idiots in LFR or Flex dont want to dps them down to prevent the cast getting off.   Smart choice with Bladestorm, I used it very rarely prior to SoO, but it became pretty much mandatory in almost every fight.  As for Safeguard/Vigilance,  I would vote against Safeguard, simply because if you intercept the wrong thing at the wrong time you're dead.  Vigilance is the safer choice.  I'm not huge on Arms as Fury has dominated this expansion for PvE, but from what I've read, Bloodbath is high and above the option of choice for Arms over Storm Bolt.  Storm bolt is more preferable for Fury since we dual-wield weapons and SB hits with both.  You get a nice hit on Arms with it, but it appears the bleed would be better long term.  For glyphs I would drop the Bull Rush, but I'm assuming you are using that for PvP as well.  For PvE your best bet would be Death From Above to reduce the CD on your Heroic Leap.  You should be trying to use heroic leap when you have downtime in your rotation to give you that extra dmg boost and can help with quick repositioning.
  3. Your UI.  What addons do you utilize for raiding?  Please take note that all of the raids we are setting up for Mythic will require DBM and also "WeakAuras 2" at a minimum.  I can see you have a dmg meter, and you have some customization going which I like to see as it shows players put some effort into their playstyle to help them succeed.  I tend to frown upon stock UIs.  As Elapsed said, using a 4:3 ratio screen is odd, but I can understand the cost aspect.  You can always use a viewport addon to give you the widescreen aspect.  Give yourself a nice black space on the bottom of your screen to put all your actionbars, dmg meters, etc, so they dont take up valuable screenspace to affect your vision.  Think of it as watching widescreen movies on your old CRT fatback TV but with only a bottom bar.  2 viewport addons I would suggest would be CBH_Viewport, and Skinner.  CBH_Viewport is a little older than Skinner, but its a LOT more basic/easy to use.  I would recommend it over Skinner since Skinner tends to give a lot of LUA bugs.
  4. Your raid availability.  You say you are available all 7 days of the week.  Is there a more preferable set of days/times you are looking to raid?  We are going to have 3 mythic raids with 3 differing schedules.  2 of which might benefit you more as they are 9-12EST while the 3rd is 12-3AM EST.  We are also planning on running a Normal (current Flex-level) raid on Saturdays that will be more community focused and lax.  Once that group is clearing the raids it will be achievment based runs.

Yeah i fixed enchants. Ive pvped alot and i thought my gear was enchanted but it was my pvp gear. I chose arms over fury because im in lfr gear and i dont get as much crit and i do more dps as arms. I have alot of pvp glyphs and talents that i swap out for raids. I use death from above over bull rush and disrupting shout. I like to use stormbolt for single target fight because its a slight dps increase when i have cs up. Not by much. With my addons i liketo keep it simple. I do use dbm and weak auras. I never heard of CBH_veiwpoint until today and im happy you told me so i will set that up today. Im available anyday of the week I prefer to raid at Between 8 and 9 est. My wife schedule is changing so im free to raid at any time after 7pm.

You covered my questions and explained why you are primarily Arms and it does make sense.  Fury is extremely Crit dependent in the higher gear/ilvls and if you cant stay enraged via bloodthirst crits, etc, to use Raging Blow, you're pretty much gonna be near bottom of the dps most fights unless its AoE heavy and you just bladestorm everything.  And you are using good glyphs for PvE already, I figured the others were PvP oriented as you mentioned you like to PvP.  

Since you seem to be avid in PvP you might be interested to know we are planning on doing an Ashran Friday group (mostly for fun, community and tear shit up as much as we can) and possibly an RBG group somewhere down the line.  You seem to know what you need to do in regards to your fury and arms specs, not surprising for a prior heroic raider, and you are responding to the application process well.

Welcome to the app process. I

Elapsed — Sun, 09/14/2014 - 20:17

Welcome to the app process. I have a couple of questions to your answers above.

1) Talent build points to which talents you use, now and days that means what talents do you change and for what reason

2) What's your least favorite encounter, means what boss. The mechanics you don't like can tell us a lot about your skillset and playstyle when added with other info you've provided

3) you're playing on an old monitor? The 4:3 aspect ratio is strange to look at now and days

 

1) for aoe fights i like to

jackburton — Sun, 09/14/2014 - 20:38

1) for aoe fights i like to use bladestorm and bloodbath and for single i switch bloodbath for stormbolt.  i swap between safeguard and vigilance depending on fights.

2) my least favorite boss encounter would be lord rhyolith. The fight it self wasnt very hard just getting coordnation down for our guild took more time then others.

3) i use a old 17 inch ibm thinkvision monitor i got at a garage sale for 5 bucks. Ive been using for a couple of years and its a very good monitor. I plan on getting a new monitor come tax time.
