Lyuben- Guardian Druid Application
Posted: 05 Feb 2015, 13:59
Who is your character?
Lyuben, Guardian Druid, 678 on mainspec and offspec is 670 feral. Link is http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/d ... ben/simple
Who are you?
I'm Lyuben, I'm lucky in that I get my real name in all servers for some reason. I'm from Bulgaria, but live in the UK and study at the moment. I'm 20 years old.
To which Raid Group are you Applying?
RG1
Experience
Started raiding for the first time in SoO, had played before, but that was in vanilla and BC, so no raiding. I got 7/14 heroic and later 14/14 mythic when it changed. Currently I am 5/7 mythic with butcher as my 5th kill, all as tank. For BRF, I have killed 7 bosses in normal as feral.
Raid Role
[Describe your current role in a raid team, how you prepare for it and how you judge your own performance. Where do you learn new things and keep yourself updated on your class?]
Your Spec
Bears are simple creatures, they love mastery and bonus armor. So I max that. For talents, I go for pulverize in 95% of cases, I have experimented with Guardian of Elune on Tectus with success. Outside that, soul of the forest is 100% due to how it conflicts with pulverize and how it works well passively. For healing you go cenarion ward since it heals for most as it scales with your resolve, and the others don't. First tier has a lot of choice depending on fight, some fights need charge, like butcher or kargath, others need blink and when you don't, you use speed boost for niceness. Finally, on some fights like Butcher mythic and kargath you can go absolute ham, provided you tell your other tank and healers, and go for heart of the wild and go cat form and do a lot more DPS at the start of a pull when you are not expected to tank initially, or when you can sacrifice some cooldowns.
Great resource for gears is The Inconspicous Bear, a blog for bears.
Off-specs and Alternative characters
Don't have alts, but my offspec is pretty viable I think, I'm comfortable on feral, though ferals tend to suck on AoE fests. Great on single target fights though. For my alt I use The Fluid Druid. Another great blog, but for cats. Druid have great blogs.
Communication
Yes I do. No problems here.

My bear, use tidyplates and weakauras to track my main things.

My Cat. Tidyplates and weakauras again. The weakaura from fluid druid is amazing, it tracks so many things since cats have so many snapshots to keep track of.
Guild History
The main guild I was in recently was Infinitum Praelium on Argent Dawn. I moved on as I felt like I wasn't appreciated there, and wanted to move somewhere where I had a future beyond just raiding. I had been a trial there for 4 months, and when I was told that my trial was finally over it was only for the sake of it ending, and not because of any other reason.
Raid availability
I can make raid times.

Wowprogress, haven't heard from you in game.
About you
As I mentioned a bit above, I'm a student, who used to be a bit sportier and more active, but thanks to illness, has become more shut in and focussed on studying and fun things like WoW, so WoWs gain I suppose. I'm terribly boring.
Miscellaneous
I'm on horde atm, so I'd have to transfer
