Game Specific
Armory:
eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/kazzak/Fluidy/advanced
How long have you played WoW:
On and off since Cataclysm came off.
How long have you played your class:
I leveled my mage last spring when I came back to WoW (in patch 5.2) So I have been playing this mage almost a year. Time played this level: 42 days and 9 hours.
How long have you played your current spec:
I have always been frost but I have also tried fire and arcane. The thing is that I enjoy playing frost and feel really comfortable with it. Currently in this patch frost mages are pretty decent.
If asked, would you change your spec:
Yes I think so.
Why did you choose the glyphs you use:
Glyph of Icy veins normally gives haste but then I would have too much haste and it wouldn't even increase my DPS. This glyph however makes all my spells to go into 3 pieces which all do 40% of the normal damage. It increases my DPS and is a very useful CD with the glyph.
Glyph of Water Elemental because then my pet is able to move with me and cast while moving.
Glyph of Splitting Ice is an awesome thing in add based fights because it does also damage to a near mob when I cast my ice lance. The damage is 50% of the normal damage but it still does alot.
Minor glyphs don't really matter.
Why did you choose the talents you use:
Blazing Speed: Useful to move fast away from damaging things on the ground like on Garrosh when Desecrated weapon comes.
Ice Barrier: Gives me a shield which absorbs 140k damage. In most fight changing to Temporal Shield because it gives 15% damage reduction for 4 seconds and after it's over, it will heal all the damage you took while you were shielded in 6 seconds after the shield is over. Temporal Shield is very useful for example when Garrosh does Whirling Corruption.
3rd tier talents don't play that big a deal because they are mostly for PvP.
With Ring of Frost you might be able to freeze some adds on some fights.
Greater Invisibility: If I get aggro for some reason, I can get rid of it fast. Also it gives you 90% damage reduction for the time it's activate and 3 seconds after that. Also cauterize would be good for this and in some fights cold snap if you need 2 ice blocks for some reason.
Living Bomb: Does currently the most damage of the 3 mage bombs. On some fights I switch to Nether Tempest because you can put it on 10 targets at the same time. One of those fights is Galakras.
Invocation: It gives me mana and 15% spell damage for 1 min. I have to keep it up all the time or I will lose 15% of my damage.
Why did you reforge the way you did:
Haste is currently best for frost mages. After haste comes mastery and in the end critical strike chance. When I have enough haste(when you count frost armor and raid buff in it) I can reforge all my things to mastery.
I usually check what is the best way to reforge from askmrrobot.
Why did you gem the way you did:
Askmrrobot preferred to put gems like that so I could get my hit chance as close to 15% as possible. Also yellow gems for haste.
Why did you choose the professions you have:
Tailoring gives my cloak a proc which gives me 2000 intellect quite often.
Engineering gives me synapse springs which also increase my intellect by 2k and can be used every minute. Nitro boost on my belt gives me a chance to move fast away from something in raids.
If you're benched for a fight, is this okay with you:
I would have to accept it but it would feel pretty bad to be honest.
Can you make all our raid days:
Mostly yes. If I can't come for some reason, I will tell you early.
Any notable guilds you have been a part of:
Nothing special.
Do you have a mic:
Yes.
Do you talk during fights (say if you have a DoT/other mechanic we need to be aware of):
Yes I do.
We often joke with each other, so the tone might sound harsh if we wipe, is this okay with you:
Definitely okay. Jokes usually make the atmosphere of the guild more comfortable.
Do you click your abilities, or do you have them keybound?
I have most of my things keybounded but I have few cooldowns that I click and I'm pretty used to do it that way. My bars are of course locked so I won't accidentally throw my time warp away when we need it.
When are you usually online:
From 15 server time to 22 server time but sometimes more or less. Not all the time online ofc.
On Joining Us
Why do you want to join us:
I have been looking for a guild with raiding times like this guilds. I'm in a country which is GMT+2 and most of the other guilds raiding times are bad in that GMT. And because I saw Chrollo spamming on the trade chat. I have been looking for a solid guild for whole MoP but haven't found the right one yet. Maybe this could be it.
How can we benefit from having you:
I can do Refreshment Tables.
Well I'm a quick learner and do quite good DPS. I understand English really well and I'm able to call some things out in TS/Vent if needed. When I get comfortable with the guild, I'm also able to joke with the other guild members. Also I can do this one special thing. I have a channel on Twitch so I'm able to stream our raids if the guild wants so.
Do you know anyone in the guild:
Nope I don't but soon I might know.
Anything you wish to ask us:
Nothing special.
