See, he's got bad form on that one.  What happens when he post's an app to another guild like he did here?  I understand the desire to apply to multiple guilds based on expectations, guild structure, etc, but burning bridges just isn't the way to go.

The more bridges you burn now that we're post AoC, the fewer raid opprotunies will be crossing his path.  With that kind of attitude to a guild that was at least giving him a chance tells me he may be on the 'BLIZZ PLZ TRNFER ME' list within the next year.

Bad form all around.  Just pure bad form.

You know ness, your chicken enough in RL, you should try a respec.  Might fit you.  hehe  (What!?!?  You thought I would be serious for an entire post!?!?  Get REAL!)

GRRRR

Now we're NEVER getting a chicken in raid :( 

Wow!!! Flying his true colors now! Hey if the new guild leader doesn't mind a shady two-timing shitbag then good for them!

You went from "Putting the Boom in Boomkin" to "Putting the Douche in Douchebag":

From the Paradign forums:

"I have applied
to this guild and DownFall only. I am fight my way to getting aspot
with them but from what I can tell so far they have quite a few people
with personality issues. It seems to come from there one of there raid
leaders and the other officers just let it happen. I will not tolerate
a complete *** leader just to progress. Their no fun in that. I have a
few of my guildies from seven sorrows in your guild and I hear good
things. So if what I hear is true I would love to join you guys and
help make your guild stronger.  "

I'm sorry they ended up with you.  I'm glad our considerations for your ginvite ended the moment you realized you had to put forward real effort to get in.

And to think, I almost considered Balance as viable.... 

Thank you. Im still up for running instances and stuff with you guys if you need me. I would like to get to know you all better. So give me a shout if you want to run something and have some fun.

Thanks guys for the consideration but I have decided to join the Paradign guild.

My agility with typical raid buffs is up to 1050-1066 nowadays.  If I chowed agility food, agility scrolls, and agility elixirs every raid it'd probably start getting near 1200.

26 dps is merely what you get from 360 attack power, divided by 14 to give "tooltip" dps.  Tooltip dps assumes only autoattacks and no crits.

So yeah, it's a conservative estimate.  If 90dps to you is the same to everyone else, then I provide the raid with 990 to 1260 additional dps, which translates into an equivalent of 13860 to 17640 raw attack power (!)

A boomkin is not a primary dps class (primary dps classes defined, at least by me, as rogue, hunter, warlock, mage - a class whose only role in any setting is to dps), so you should not be as worried about YOUR dps as you should be worried about YOUR CONTRIBUTION to the raid, as a support dps class (defined, at least by me, as shadowpriest, druid, enh/ele shaman, warrior (debateable), ret pally).  A moonkin is not brought into a raid as a mage/warlock replacement, they are brought into a raid to support their casters *and* do some damage while they're at it.

For instance, on any given night I do way less damage than Luminaire.  He's a raw, pure dps build, whereas my build (survival) is meant as a support dps.  So while my personal numbers don't compare to his, I provide *the raid* with an additional 360+ attack power by way of Expose Weakness and Imp. Hunter's Mark.

Therefore, I give all of our rogues, feral druids, enhancement shamen, all hunters, all hunter pets, all warriors, and ret paladins a significant dps boost (no less than 26 dps).  On a given night, Hamfist has anywhere from 11 to 14 individual toons and pets a 26 dps boost, which - if attributed to me - is a "personal" dps boost of 286 to 364 dps.  That's not including special attacks or crits, either.

So yeah, "your" dps might drop, but everyone else's goes up.  That's why enhancement shamen (which have shit for gear support in endgame) are still extremely potent and sought-after raiders - they provide imp. strength, imp. windfury, and Unleashed Rage for their group, which (in my opinion) more than makes up for any lack of personal dps.

I wasnt aware of the changes no rouge has ever said anything about it. In that case imp FF would be worth putting points into thats really to easy. And damn they are hating on rogues making it so hard to max ur hit cap. It would slightly hurt my dps but if you bring that many melee it would be far worth it I agree.

Your hit should be maxed at this level in the game. And It doesnot stack with a feral druids. So it's kind of a waste and is not used buy most end game raiding balance druids. But liek I said if you need it changed for the group to easy.

Fail.  No imp faerie fire. 

I'm actually very impressed with this app.  Seems like a nice family guy from his original application.  Then I went to his armory page, and I was pretty blown away.  I don't know many clothies that have managed to rack up over 1.2K spell dmg w/o being a 25 man raider; yet you've managed to do this while maintaining an ALL-LEATHER dps set!  Very impressive.  You've obviously put in a LOT of work to get your gear to be the best it can be, given with what you're working with.  Everything has the highest quality modifications, and you've been gemming with mostly purple gems too.  You really do take this seriously.

Okay so that being said, spots in raid are hard won to begin with, but there is admittedly a biased when it comes to invite a boomkin to a raid.  Most of the time it boils down to the fact that they do not do enough dps to make it worth it.  Can you step up and show us differently?

I think if you can manage to get into the top 8-10 dps we may have something to talk about.  And I say top 8-10 because I generally think a newer person is going to do a little less dps than they might do once they become more familiar with their raid group, etc.

Let's give this guy a shot to show his stuff.  Go go wws parses! 

I know the feeling Pentrage.

Grats on the second! I have heard that if you can handle 2 the next 5 is cruise control.
