Why do you want to join Shade of Arrows (Be thorough with your answer)? I've been looking for a good progression guild that i can raid with. One that's friendly and mature, this seemed like a pretty good one from what i've seen.

Tell us about yourself, to help us determine if you would be a good fit here (The more you put here, the better it looks): I'm an outgoing generous guy, i help out as much as i can when i'm not busy with something. I can nail down and get instructions remembered for raid bosses quickly.

Please answer the following questions about your class:

1. Explain the style differences of each tree for dps.

2. Detail what secondary dps stats a DK wants to stack for each dps spec. (i.e. rank in order and explain the purpose of the order of haste, crit, ArP)

3. Outline the single target and multi-target dps rotation for blood spec.

4. Come up with 3 situations in ICC during which you would use Chains of Ice and why you would use it.

5. Detail how, as a melee dps, you are supposed to handle Defile being cast on you.

I would also like to know how much uptime you have on Sigil of The Hanged Man considering you dont get to use death strike as often as you would say heart strike for instance.
Tell me why not gem relentless earth siege diamond instead of Chaotic skyflare. The earth siege would give you a little more flexability instead of having to have two blue gems.
lastly why do you think it would be more beneficial to have 32 attack power on your boots instead of tuskaar's vitality?

hahahaha

How can a woman who looks like that look in the mirror and say, "You know, pigtails would look cute today"?

Trick question. She doesn't have a mirror in her trailer. The only thing she's done to her hair in the past 10 years is cut her bangs with the vegetable scissors when they get in her eyes.

She probably has bigger balls than the rest of us. so she damn well wear pig tails if she wants. Who's gonna stop her?

1. Blood is more of a mostly heart strike with a death strike here and there for death runes to do more heart strike. Unholy i don't know that much about but i could learn it if needed. Frost is dual-wielding, speed and strength is important i think.

2. Crit over ArP, ArP over Haste. Haste is not important for blood since speed dosen't do anything with the dps compared to crit and ArP. Crit is more important than ArP since crits happen alot due to the attack after attack while ArP is sort of side stat to help out with slightly more dps.

3. Outline the single target and multi-target dps rotation for blood spec. Mutli-target: Start off with DnD than put up a IT, PS use pestilance to spread for you got two mutiple damage attacks going on at once, after that us Rmpower Rune Weapon and go back to a normal rotation. For my single target it is IT PS HS HS DS Hysteria, Dancing Rune Weapon than ERP DS HS HS HS HS IT PS. Deathcoil when runes are down, rinse and repeat except for the ERP, Hysteria and Dancing Rune Weapon when its down.

4. The quest after the Boned achievment to slow the guy down i believe CoI worked there. CoI on the adds on the Deathbringer Saurfang boss fight too slow down the adds for the range can take them out. On Valithria Dreamwalker, i've only done it once so the info on that is a little rusty but i think CoI is used there.

5. Havn't got far as LK yet. If Defile is doing magic damage than i would use AMS. Icebound Fortitude if i had too.

If my rotation isn't screwed up that it should just be up at max all the time.
Relentless gives +21 agility and 3% crit yet skyflare gives 21 +crit 3% crit. Crit is far better than agility.
32 AP is about 16 str. Str always triumphs over stamina since i am not a tank and health isn't that much of a problem since i am a plate-wearer

Well bud here's is why the agility meta gem is actually the better choice over the crit one. It is because the crit meta gem requires you to equip two blue gems to get the meta bonus. Where as the agility meta gem requires only one blue gem (Nightmare tear) to unlock the bonus.Which means you can equip a 10str/10crit in the yellow socket instead of a 15stam/10str resulting in an overall dps gain.

As far as stacking arm pen as a blood DK i would avoid doing this and stick with strength unless you have 800 arm pen on your gear alone because if you gem to early you will be no where near the arm pen cap and that will result in horrible dps.

Not interested.

Thank you for your interest in SoA! Good luck in your search.
