Giving you the one-week notice - need to see activity here or in-game for this application to be considered.  If no activity, this app will be closed in a week.

Would like to see more activity.  Promising application headed steadily towards denial based solely on lack of interaction.

i enchanted with black magic

jagsaw — Thu, 12/17/2009 - 22:17

i enchanted with black magic on my weapon is because i use it on pvp, and i dont have a guild to raid with, after i get in one i will change it to 63 SP.

i got 3 points in suppression is because no other talents points will give me more dps, i intend to have 11%hit with my gear, so i can make use of those 3 points in suppression and 1% from draenei racial. but my gear is not complete, i m over hit capped, i m at 12.69%, what my plan is get rid of that 1.69 not 3 points in suppression.

i dont really know what to say about glyphing, i glyphed haunt is because i amory'ed a lot geared warlocks in a lot top guilds on different server, major of them has those 3 glyphs i have.

i never really did a offical presentation to join a guild, i think thats why my presentation is bad. "Would it be a problem if you had to wait 3 weeks or 3 months to get into raid?" for that one, i could probably, but 3 months is just too long for me.

Try not to pay attention to

Try not to pay attention to the percentages regarding hit, pay attention to the number; it's more precise. With 3 points in suppression you should be shooting for an overall rating of 268 ish (taking into account 3% spriest or boomchicken debuffs and 1% draeni racial). You're at 333 last I checked. Also, you're wrong that suppression is giving you the most dps at the moment (at least not in an optimal raid situation). Right now you're gaining 10 hit points from suppression, bumping you to the 343 hitcap...essentially. Really, that's peanuts. You're spending 3 talent points to get 10 hit points...you could also spend 1 talent point to get the same 10 hit points, for the record. In the end, I'd just gear for 343 hitcap, skip suppression and pick up extra dps talents.

I suggest not glyphing according to what is popular, glyph according to what ElitistJerks (EJ) says.

I stand by my suggestions to your talent changes. Until you can show me evidence that you're right and I'm wrong, I'll continue thinking you're gimping yourself. 

In the end, it sounds to me like you'd like to make some changes to your toon. That's cool, but if you want to be considered seriously here, you need to make those changes ASAP. And, you should do everything in your power to be as optimally geared/glyphed/gemmed/enchanted as you currently can. That means changing your main hand enchant, fixing your hit / spec situation, and checking on glyphs.

Again, I'm very willing to hear a logical argument as to why I'm wrong about this...that'd be really informative, and welcome, actually. Until then, I'm hesitant.

Let me just say, first,

Scaron — Thu, 12/17/2009 - 15:45

Let me just say, first, thanks for applying! I'm going to give you some feedback, I hope you'll see it for what it is meant to be--constructive criticism--I'm not trying to bag on you here at all.

With that said, here are a couple points:

1. Your gear is good, and it is enchanted and gemmed mostly properly. I know that there's been some talk of the black magic weapon enchant over at the EJ forums, but my recollection is that talk ended up at the conclusion that this enchant was inferior to the +63 sp enchant. Either link me some evidence to show me that I'm wrong or change your enchant.

2. Your talents make me wonder a bit. First, given 3 points in suppression you're something like 50-60 points over hit cap. Why spend those points in suppression? They give you zero dps and you're essentially getting nothing from them. I'd suggest either regearing so the suppression points are worthwhile (and your new gear would have to provide the improvement to your dps), or you could respec so you had only, say, one point in suppression and throw a point or two into Fel concentration or imp drain soul. Also, your point in demonic embrace (plus stam) isn't giving you any more dps--why not drop that point into one of the two talents I mentioned above.

I'd also suggest that you think about amplify curse, too. You should be glyphing into Curse of Agony (again, I believe that this is the approved affliction glyph along with LT and Quick Decay (i. e., you should drop Haunt)), with that said you're only getting an extra half second of casting every 24 or so seconds. Not really worth it IMO. You can move an extra point into imp drain soul which would help you alleviate threat (and if you can avoid soul shattering you're saving a full GCD) or into fel concentration which helps against spell knockback--another dps slower.

3. Another thing: presentation matters. Your app doesn't really come off like you put much thought into it. Not much you can do to change that anymore, but you can spend a bit more time carefully answering questions and responding to feedback in the comments section of your app.

For example, in answer to the question "Would it be a problem if you had to wait 3 weeks or 3 months to get into raid?" You responded: "3 weeks, maybe." 

That doesn't really answer the question...not even a little. You note that your "dps is bad right now", yet you note that warlocks role is 100% dps--which is partially true, depending on your spec. Why should we not think based on your own admission that it would take any less than 3 weeks...minimally to get you to a point where you're not a liability to the raid?

You've shown us a pretty picture of you sitting in a digital meadow. That's not really what we mean by a UI screenshot. Please upload one that shows what you see when you're raiding. You know, your health, your target, buffs, debuffs, etc.

Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but before you're even going to get considered here, it's my opinion that you'll need to fill in some of these blanks and convince us that you're worth the time.
