Personal Information
Hey! My names Luke and i live in Sheffield UK, currently unemployed and filling my empty days with WoW. Im 17 (almost 18) and enjoy playing the guitar hanging out with my friends/ girlfriend and getting completely smashed im really easy to get along with and im a fun guy, but still concentrated and smart enough to be able to take everything in my stride and get jobs done properly without messing about.
Character Information
Worldbinder
Restoration Shaman
Orc
Link to armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/dunemaul/worldbinder/simple
My shaman is my *NEW* main as of late Wotlk after wanting to raid from a healers perspective, dont mistake this to mean i am not experienced in my class or not know my mechanics however, i feel like ive been playing this guy for years. i have played since early 2008 starting out as a hunter on hellscream and spent my time foolin around at 70 :P (not a raider so early in my wow life) although did get to finish gruul. i rerolled death knight at the release of wotlk and decided to start taking raiding seriously, beating much game content as it came out and managing to stay comfortably seated as one of the "best" at my trade, although after my guild died in late LK content and many of my IRL friends went to dunemaul, i transferred my shaman over to continue playing with them (these being Doomslay and Contagion) and find myself in need of a serious and friendly raiding guild!
this said ill leave my DK (old main) armoury for you look at aswell. so you can have an idea of my content progression and gear back when ICC was current content.

Raiding
i am currently completely available at all times although like to go out friday and saturday nights (can obviously stay in for raid sake if it take priority)
i have mostly completed content as it is introduced ( no naxxramas in ToC gear :P)
Naxx
Uld
ToC
ICC
as far as cataclysm content goes im pretty much fully heroic geared and have also so far completed Baradin Hold
Gaming (optional) and World Of Warcraft history
I think im repeating myself here but oh well :P i started out as a hunter in early 2008 with no serious playing until wotlk was introduced where i rerolled as a dk and took all raid content seriously in a serious raiding guild before the guild fell apart after clearing ICC content and many stopped playing so i played my shaman on dunemaul with my friends over there
other gaming experience! i used to be quite a serious player on xbox live and in a semi-pro team (in its later days) LND - Legends Never Die along with Doomslay and Contagion and i have pretty much done nothing but sit in my room on a console all my growing childhood so am always most at home when hiding in my avatars :)
Why do you want to join Iron Edge?
Iron Edge came to my notice as my IRL friend Doomslay DITCHED me (JK :P) on hellscream specifically to come to dunemaul and join this guild. ever since that ive never been able to keep up with him gear or progression wise and have had a certain longing to be part of the team ive watched beat me at every turn.
What can I offer to Iron Edge?
healzz. Also a competent reliable raider who will im sure be a valuable asset in raiding!
Last words?
Giggity ;)
-
pretty good app,
Maybe hugman can comment on your spec/gear/gem/enchants.
I assume rep epics are being worked on atm :)
Good luck with app.
xx
-
got rep boots and the only other epic is a neck from dragonmaw which isnt 100% suitable. but im going to reforge spirit to it and see how it goes
-
Hmm.
Decent application.
Well gears good, few cheapo enchants, but that easily remedied. Spec and glyphs are fine, except the lack of Ancestral Swiftness, which is pretty much compulsory for raiding. Focused insight is a personal choice, myself I never use it, but it does have its uses. No professions >:( which you should sort out.
As far as the B-raid is concerned, we currently have only one Resto Shaman (myself) and so I would be looking for another decent one.
I would like to hear a good word from Doomslay, about yourself.
P.S. > Doomslay < >Endbringer< , that's what I meant doom.
-
ah yes, I defiantly see some correlation to our names.
Luke has my good word, he was a brilliant deathknight back when I raided with him and from what I've seen recently makes an equally good shaman.
I'm sure since he's new to the class a bit of guidance from you hug where he needs it - he'll easily be upto a high standard.

Why are you reforging from haste to crit while its most valuable stat after int there is, and only mastery beign worse than crit -.-...
-
i had ancestral swiftness but changed it recently because 90% of encounters need heavy dispelling and the heal it gives isnt to be underestimated, its basically a instant cast healing wave and i find it really useful.
i have a cheap shoulder enchant if thats what you mean while i work on therazane exhalted and some items that have an impending replacement (heroic wise) i havent fully enchanted to save a bit of gold.
as for reforging haste to crit i think youll find haste has become pretty weak in cata!
and as our heals have relatively the same strength as wotlk with 4 times the health pools those crits are needed to make big heals and crit also increases the chance to proc inproved water shield restoring our mana.
my gearing is based purely on spirit/crit gear, my mana regen is insane and never find myself going oom which was a problem to initially combat in cata and because of high crit i normally find a greater healing wave and riptide can easily heal any tank 50% health at no mana cost/ effort, or any other party member for a good 70%.
personally i believe
Int>spirit>crit>haste>mastery
and that works for me. im sure any resto who tried it would love it also, its pretty powerful.
im sure youll appreciate ive made my point here ^^
-
oh yeh and the professions! yeh they need working on but ive found myself short of gold to level them. ill likely max out inscription and jewelcrafting like on my dk because i love the gemming/ enchanting perks they give
-
Ah. The classic case of "just feeling like it". Thats just fine... Your speccing is not impressive either, you rather take 2% crit than 15% movement + instant ghost wolf? Holy shit are you stupid or what?
- If you want your crit rating so bad, you could do this build http://www.wowhead.com/talent#hhZbhMZcGbMsdfoGo
I doubt you use focused insight to its maximum potential.
Also 2/2 cleansing waters is mandatory for any resto spec, no idea where you got the idea of having 2% more crit rather than that from.
Why would you aim to be at 100% mana the whole fight when you could aim(note that reaching this goal is sort of impossible) to reach 1% as the fight ends?
edit: typo
-
Nowhere do i see a case of "just feeling like it" i have given good reason for all my choices and this is my prefferred method of play, everyone has their own styles of how they play their class and i feel comfortable with the choices ive made. im not going to rise to the "stupid" comment because im obviously not stupid, however; youre right about my spec, focused insight is a mistake on my part and i thank you for pointing it out, ive already swapped it out for ancestral swiftness as of reading this comment. Rather than aimming to be at 100% mana all a fight i aim to be able to have the regen to be persistant in a fight and to be able to handle situations where things go tits up without going oom which as i said, going oom is one of the main problems of cata healing.
:)
-
I think i like you , simply cuase u sidestepped Rage-emo-/slitwrist-Hawk PERFECTLY!
Ever thaught about PvE? I bet you don't stand in the fire.
-
he's applying to b-raid kage!
-
Well , it's obvious if he can stay out of fire then he replace a failer in the A-b-c-d-e-f-g-Raid.

The question is whether your playstyle is actually capable of healing raids taking a crapload of damage... and not run out of mana. If it can, then np. If hugman does twice your healing with his playstyle, you might need to change :) (healing done isn't everything, of course)
-
17k hps
-
this is ofcourse true, no good useing a useless style. i did priorities haste at the start but had a complete regear/gem to try out a crit based system and i felt much more comfortable with it and i ofcourse got the initial idea through forums and other shaman contribution! im willing to try anything
-
I do agree with you that haste is bad, btw! As I always said, just makes u go oom faster!
-
You can ride horse backwards and call that your riding style.
-
If you ride a horse backwards better than someone who rides it forwards, then surely that makes you a baller.

Haha, was waiting for that. ;D
-
haha, epic mount?
-
thanks for the invite to mondays B raid anyway i got it on my calender ^^
ill be there and be on form doin ma best!
-
Yeah, I was about to update this post, but I thought I would add you to the Calendar event first, to see if you noticed.
Your gear has gotten better, which is good, and you have sorted out your spec.
Be online 19:20 Server time for raid invites. Make sure you have enough food, and flasks for 4 hours. Read up on the first 3-4 bosses, for both Bastion of Twilight, and Blackwing Decent.
Look forward to seeing how you do.
-

I knew you had plans to make the b-raid less casual, 10 minutes at a time.
-
OMFG THAT HUGMAN IS SNEAKY AS A TROLL
-
ive picked an unfortunate time to get my wow account and email hacked. im working on recovering both (theyve also vendored all my items and stole all my stuff) but you know what gms are like and i could be waiting a very long time to recover everything. i ay not be ready to raid at 6:20
sorry guys im pissed too.
ill let you know what happens
world x
-
get an authenticator!
-
Aye, get one. You can get the mobile authenticator for iPhone/iPod Touch, Android, and most other phone's have a Java based client too. Plus you get the mini-pet :)
-
i used to have an authenticator but lsot the ipod it was on, therefore making it a problem in that it kept me out too. havent used one since. im pretty sure i know exactly whos took my account anyway and theyve only used my email to acces my wow account, nothing else. not even my paypal hahaha which is first thing id hack ;)
-
Whats your email address? ^^
-
cockbag@hotmail.co.uk
havent got access back to it yet though, they changed my security questions and alternate email address so im having to sort it on a private forum talking to windows live moderators. but i gave my email to a warrior from Kurdistan who i had fun with last night and he knew i was from iran... iran being my secret answer for password recovery... so if he got asked where my mother was born the first thing hed guess is iran!

-
Thanks for this good laugh at work.
-
I have no words....
-
hmmm fails in RL .. mean fails in raids ...
-
ha, i think youll find this is the only time anything of mine has ever been hacked in my life. i gave him my email that is all, he took it upon himself to try and hack me and succeeded. DICK
-
tbh i didnt even give my email. he gave me his and i sent him a battlenet ID request
-
Surely you understand that this is not exactly private forum... and you just gave away your email and secret question to everyone <.<
-
That doesn't really matter any more, he's already been hacked!
-
ok .. ok .. iv reset your password .. its now
"giveupandtryagain"
sorted! :D
-
already been hacked, obviously gonna change his details..
-
So... much... fail...
-
Sigh... what's the point in having forum mods if they don't do their job?
Edited his post to make it less dangerous.
-
Natural selection at work, Dell. Don't want to mess with that!
-
obviously the details i gave dont matter. the security questions have been changed by the person who hacked it and im not going to keep the same ones after i recover it am i! i assumed you asked my email to be helpful somehow not just as a joke. (nice editting haha)
-
Again, try to obfuscate emails, blah {at} moo.com is a popular method.
-
I dare say, most email harvesters are clever enough to search for {at}, and then reconstruct addresses :P
-
Anything is better than nothing!
-
okay alls sorted. got my account back and all my belongings.
-
Gz man ! see you tonight :D
-
And you have an authenticator linked to your account now?
-
They're free if you have a decent phone.
-
ahahahah gotta agree this is pretty funny :D
-
i still dont have guild level access so im just posting here!
my FPS/latency are still playing up ridiculously and im finding it impossible to play on a constant 5fps. im trying to fix it but all i can say just now is i wont be fit to raid again tonight so keep me swapped out!
sorry b raid!

Did you update your geforce drivers recently? I updated mine at it gave me a weird fps issue getting me down to 4 fps on certain bosses and in some areas.
I had to downgrade my drivers to fix my fps.
-
Hugman had a similar problem, try rolling your drivers back as gayeos said.

I read that as "Hugman had similar problem, try rerolling to warrior"
