- Name: Zandyr
- Class: Warlock
- Spec: Destruction
Name's Bruce, and I'm a 32 year old game dev hailing from Malmo, Sweden. Originally born and raised in Montreal, Canada-- I became a Swede-in-training just over 2 years ago, and been enjoying the "lagom" lifestyle ever since!
To which Raid Group are you Applying?
I'd like to apply for RG2, as I think it will be a good fit for me. I haven't raided since WotLK, so I'm a lil' rusty, but this expansion has me hooked, and I really want to experience as much of it as I can. I really miss the social aspects of WoW and the sense of community I had back in the day, so I'm hoping to find that again soon.
I know I'm a little undergeared for heroic, so if I don't make the cut for the raid group, I hope to at least be considered for social membership
Experience
I've been an OG day-1 undead rogue/warlock since launch. I was addicted but studying a lot during launch and most of TBC, so I never had the time to do any of the real hardcore content, but when Wrath dropped I finally got a chance to raid properly, and loved it. My guild at the time wasn't hardcore, but we always managed to stay "ahead of the curve." Once the content drought hit post-ICC, the guild dissolved and I more or less stopped playing. I would play for a month or two here and there, but most of my friends had quit, so it was always a solo affair and the game never really felt the same. Now, Legion's got me hooked all over again, and I've been itching to raid, so I started over on a fresh EU account, rolled Alliance for a change of scenery, and well, here I am!
Raid Role
DPS has always been my preferred raiding role, and while I hit 110 on my rogue first, I'd like to raid with my warlock. That being said, if the guild needs another melee DPS, I'm fine with that too
As I said, I haven't raided seriously since WotLK, so I'm a bit rusty, but at the end of the day, I always try to bring my A-game. I love reading forums and keeping up to date with the meta (discord communities like Council of the Black Harvest/Ravenholdt, Medivh's 7.0 Legion Raiders Lexicon etc.) I know how to simcraft, and get a lot of enjoyment out of min-maxing my characters. I always come to the raid prepared with potions/food. Still need to grind them out, but my rogue is an alchemist, and my warlock is an enchanter/scriber, and I enjoy helping out others when it comes to consumables.
Your Spec
Been focusing primarily on destruction as I've found affliction to be a bit weak by comparison (as much as I love it #feelsbadman).
Since I'm not currently raiding, my talent build is mostly centered around clearing WQ content and dungeons as fast as possible, so I focused on maximizing my AoE/cleave damage.
My stat priorities have been to get my haste as close as I can to 30%, while still trying to maintain a decent crit chance. Versatility comes after that, as mastery (in my opinion) doesn't seem to help destruction much.
For raiding, I understand destruction is desirable for it's strong cleave and single-target damage, so my spec would switch to: Roaring Blaze, Reverse Entropy, Demon Skin, Eradication, Demonic Circle/Dark Pact, GoServ, Wreak Havoc/Soul Conduit (depending on the encounter).
Off-specs and Alternative characters
Affliction is my ideal off-spec, but it's not doing so hot, so I will probably end up going Demonology second.
As mentioned, I also have an ilvl 830 rogue alt: Armory
Communication
Got a mic and always happy to talk/socialize on discord/forums. I stream on twitch pretty regularly as well, and as a developer I continue to be an active part of the official Division reddit/discord community.
Combat Logs
Unfortunately, as I haven't set foot in a raid since WotLK outside of LFR, I don't have any logs to post
If needed, I'm happy to do an EN LFR run and post those logs, but on average in dungeons I usually pull 150-200k single-target DPS (Soul-Conduit-RNG-willing) or 300+ on trash AoE.
Your UI
I try to keep my overall UI as clean and minimal as possible, without relying too much on addons outside of the obvious stuff like DBM, Recount, WeakAuras, EnemyGrid, etc.
Guild History
I honestly can't remember the name of the guild I raided with in Wrath, it was so long ago. All I remember is it started with R and was suitably edgy for its time.
Raid availability
No conflicts here, as I'm almost always free Sunday-Thursday evenings after 7-8pm, and happy to schedule around set raid times.
References
Sure! Available upon request, however none from EU, since I'm pretty new in these parts!
About you
When I'm not moonlighting as a human rogue, I spend my days designing content for games. I've spent the last couple of years working on the narrative for The Division, so if anyone here's played it, I'd love to hear what you think!
