Character information (part 2 – past):
Name the previous guilds you were in and why you are leaving them/guildless Right now I'm playing in We Love Animals. It's a IRL-guild and we're not doin any raid progress at all. I've been playing in guilds like Shorty and Mock on my main @ Hellscream. And we did great progress in ICC 10/25 HC.

Were you kicked out of any guilds, and if so, for what reason(s)? I left my guild on my main because I wanted to try something new. So I figured, why not make a druid on SH and try play as tank? And there was also + that my IRL mates was playing here aswell.

Please give a description of what rotation you use within a raid on boss encounters.
Enrage > Berserk > FFF > Mangle > Laceratex3 > Swipe > Mangle > Pulverize

What, if any, raiding experience do you have (including vanilla, TBC and WOTLK)?
Vanilla: None
TBC: None
WotLK: EoE 10/25, Naxx 10/25, OS 10/25 +3D, ToC 10/25 and ToGC 10, ICC 10 9/12 HC and ICC 25 HC 7/12.

We raid a 3 night schedule of sun / mon / tue - 4 / 3 / 3, can you maintain 95% attendance? The raid time suits me perfect. Almost like my pre guild, and that was never a problem.

Hey Vermasd,

I think we have enough tanks in the guild atm but you just have to w8 for Novocaine to give a reply since he is the guild leader and takes care of all the apps.

But here is my feedback:

Gear not to bad but low-ish for ICC25 HC, you're dodge is decent and ur stam is to but u need alot of improvs to tank ICC25 hc, believe me u need gear to hold aggro


Also you're staff is from PVP, thats not bad, but one with agi / stam is better ofc.

Talents:
Why didn't you go for Stampede 2/2 instead of Feral Agression 2/2, the haste improv on the first 8 seconds of the fights gives you more threat cuz you attack faster and u need alot of threat at the start of the fight since the patch...

Also personally i wouldn't go for the Brutal Impact but thats just a personal preference since i never use it in a a battle... you are not runnig away from a boss to just Skull Bash them and interrupt you've got other classes for that tbh.

I can't really see the Prime Glyphs on the Armory so cant add there, but the best for feral tanking are Glyph of Berserk, Glyph of Lacerate and Glyph of Mangle.

Also i wanted to ask if you got you're skills macro'd with Maul? If not do so cuz it increases you're threat by a million!

Could you also link you're previous mains armory's since you're experience on this charr is very slim if u ask me.....

Well that was it i guess,
GL on the app.

Greets,
X

Yo!

I'm using the Glyph of Berserk, Glyph of Lacerate and Glyph of Mangle.

And I'm also using Maul Macros on all of my spells, as you can see on my screenshot.


Depends on the content you are doing. In ICC, it's really nice to have for LDW, Dreamwalker and Lich King (Valks). And in Cataclysm, there are going to be a lot more spell casting bosses and a lot more opportunities to use it. Especially on trash pulls.

Cause you are limited with Stampede and King of the Jungle. They aren't worthless, but some people find having a reliable interrupt is better.

And I haven't had any problem to hold aggro at the start of any fight since the patch aswell.

This is my Shaman:

Havnt done so much since the patch so don't blame me for having wrong spec, gems, enchants etc


Thanks for the feedback!

Hey again,

I forgot to check you're enchants.. stupid me...

Ok here is the feedback for you're enchants:

Cloak: 22 agi
Chest: +10 stats, i know its less HP but more agi / str is also nice for threat
Bracers: 40 stam
Gloves: 18 stam

Weapon: Blood Draining, its not a bad enchant, but its only good for LK25 hc or LK10 hc because of the extra healing you do with that enchant, for the overall fights you should get Mongoose, the extra agi increase is better than some healing on you're self...

Well that was it all for now

I haven't enchanted all of my gear because there are some upgrades in ICC which I need. Bracers from Saurfang etc.

And I find them easy to get, so I don't want to spend unnecessary gold to enchant. But if I haven't get those parts and I'm needed for raiding, then I will of course enchant them.

All the gear I have now is from Pugs and I agree with you that my gear isn't good enough for some heroics.

I see Blood Draining better, because I can't see my threat being bad.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Ever had 30-35k burst dps from Yoik / Shalinar in ya face?
It's hard to hold threat on that mate......Every bit of threat helps but ye...

As I said in my first post, I'm new with tanking. But I've never had any probs with threat in the latests patch.

But if the threat is bad then I'll make new enchants etc to keep it good.

Thanks for the application but unfortunately i can not offer you a trial within the guild.

Good luck else where
