Basic Character Information
1. Character Name (and please include battletag):
Zarentina : Zarentina#1211
2: Class: Druid
3: Current Server: Sargeras
4: Primary Raiding Spec : Restoration
5: Offspec (Every core raider is expected to be proficient with at least one other viable spec): My off spec is balance, although i never use it, i know how to use it. Im short a couple of pieces (trinket/cloak/ring) for a complete heroic set.
6: Give us a link to your armory. Make sure to log out in PvE Equipment:
us.battle.net/wow/en/character/sargeras/Zarentina/advanced
7: Tell us a bit about your raiding experience since your start in WoW:
During BC I was pretty terrible at the game and spent a lot of time wiping and probably causing numerous wipes in ssc/tk. Since the end of BC I have been fairly casual due to athletic and academic commitments and eventually uni, which brings us up to date. Im wrapping up my degrees and have time to play again, and I joined cantaloupe a couple of months ago and eventually progressed to 3/10m. Met some nice people but ultimately we couldn't keep a stable roster and this week we collapsed.
8: What guilds were you previously in? Under what circumstances did you leave? Details are important.
Empyrean - BC undermine- Guild transferred to medivh (greener pastures) and subsequently died
Insight - wrath/cata - medivh - friend rank, didn't have time to raid 4 nights a week so i did their alt run for both expansions until its eventual demise.
MoP: My sub lapsed for some time and i became a pretty big pug hero.
WoD: Cantaloupe for the past 6-8 weeks, guild failed to maintain a stable roster and fell apart.
Slacker Requirements Check
9: Times: Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Sunday starting @ 7:30 Server Time lasting until 11: 30 Server time. Sargeras is CST. It is in your best interest to maintain 90% attendance in order to maintain a core raiding position. If you are unable to make 90% attendance, inform us now. Excessive absences and/or being late will result in loss of spot and/or removal. Understood?
The only times i will miss are this Thursday (traveling for long weekend), and mid may I am taking a trip to visit friends and family in cali. I guess we can cross that bridge when we come to it. Other than these constraints the only other time I can see missing is for job interviews but ill keep everyone posted as those arise.
b. Loot in Slacker is done using EPGP Loot Master based on factors such as need, Best in Slot gearing, performance. Rank does not come in to play except in the case of trials.
Sure thing
10: Mumble, Microphone, a boss mod are required. Do you have all three?
yes
b. Other addons required are EPGP Lootmaster and Angry Assignments. Make sure to download them.
will do
11: Do you play on a stable internet connection? We don't need raiders who play on a toaster. A disconnect her and there is tolerable, but constanty disconnecting and lag makes you a liability. Please provide us with a www.speedtest.net result.

Knowledge of Class and Play-style:
12: Please provide us with a screenshot or two of your UI in a recent combat raid environment:

13: Provide a link to recent logs in a raid setting. This is absolutely required.

14: Can you tell us the stat weights you use for gear, gems, and enchants?
Depends on who you ask, secondaries are very close for resto druids, for my play style spirit>haste>master>=crit/multi>>>vers. The exact numbers i dont have on hand. If my memory serves correctly its int=2,spir=1.8, haste 1.1 mastery 1, multi/crit .9ish.
b. What is your standard rotation for your current role?
1)harmony up-->2) lifebloom up-->mushroom down (varies by fight)-->rejuv all the things-->multiple people below 80% or big dmg inc? wg. (number 2 is something I am trying to improve)
15. Please describe a "Recent" raid boss that really demonstrates how you have gone above and beyond your current role. This may involve using a special spec, non standard rotation, or non standard glyphs. If possible, link parse of you doing this.
I feel like resto druid builds are fairly cookie cutter, but my most recent above and beyond moment was cantaloupes first progression beast lord kill. Our healing line up wasn't the strongest but i managed despite taking DoC to rank 33rd resto in the world which was cool. I know its no rank one but those for the most part are cheesed!

16: At the start of a fight, a single debuff is applied to one person. This debuff lasts 60 seconds. Upon expiration, the debuff kills its target and jumps to two new people. Assuming you are in a 25 man raid, how long do you have to kill the boss?
5 minutes. 60 seconds for the first person, 60 seconds for the next 2, 60 seconds for the 4, 60 seconds for the 8, 60 seconds for the remaining 10 people.
Personal Responses:
17: Age 23
18: Gender: male
19: How did you hear about Slacker? Is there anyone here who can vouch for you?
Wowprogress, unfortunately no.
20: Why do you want to join us and what convinces you that you'd be a good addition to Slacker? What sets you apart? <- Money Question, one-liners here reflect poorly… Please think about that.
Since i started playing I have always wanted to have the time to commit to the game to raid with a proper raiding group. After a long 9 year wait I finally have that time. I am a rapid learner can be a dedicated raider given the opportunity. I'm willing to take constructive criticism or to take a seat if there's fights that just don't mesh well with my class.
21: We're a fun guild with a friendly atmosphere, though we can be extremely vulgar at times. Are you alright with this?
Fuck off Lehey
22: It is important that we get to know you more than as just another player. Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm graduating in a month with a BS/MS in mechanical engineering. Im trying to find a job in pittsburgh so if one of you could hook me up that would be sweet. Other than academics which really has been my life over the past 5 years I play a lot of basketball and run daily. I drink far too much on the weekends and regret it every time. All in all i lead a pretty strait forward life.
