Xeonaught paladin retribution/protection raiding - ACCEPTED

[Pessimism VII]

I've known Xeonaught through all his WoW life - im even the one who introduced him to the online phenomenon. I have to admit, through the burning crusade when he started, he was as useless as we all were to begin with, but through sheer commitment and persistence, he became used to the game and how to progress, eventually joining mine, moombee and Sorien in our old guild on Emeriss server (Shiver) where we recruited Xeonaught from his previous realm to raid with us in our efforts to best the lich king, where, if i remember rightly, he was retribution and to our suprise, the blood elf was topping the damage.

To summarise, Xeonaught is a committed, persistant and currently undervalued player.

Good luck on your application Jason

Seems a reasonable chap from the Application. Not sure how we are raider wise, but it's always good to have overs to guarantee the raid goes ahead.

Yea seems a nice application, haven't had time to read through it properly atm as im at work. but at a glance it looks quite good

Seems nice ! only comment i have is: Why did u choose to take on the tanking cloak? And why did u reforge the mastery into dodge as retribution? Could reforge the parry into crit (if needed for retri) or expertise. But that's just me ;). overall it looks nice and decent

Sooo. i wasn't logged in on this one

[Tuishao]

Ok, Hi Im Jon (sherawr). Firstly apologies its taken a while for me to get on here, been working. Right ive had a look through your app and all your answers seem pretty cool, having looked at ur Armory I have noticed a few small changes you could make to improve your toon.

Firstly I would change your prime glyph of Exorcism to Glyph of Seal of Truth. As this is your main Seal used as a Ret it would automatically grant u 10 expertise, which means you could free up some of those gem and mastery choices you regem to your primary stat STR in those redslots, ie your shoulders, belt your neck to be reforged from HASTE to HIT instead of EXP, until capped that type of thing. I see that your HIT is a little low and that you have reforged some your your gear from HIT > another stat, I would seriously reconsider and reforge back until at least you get some more gear with HIT on.

OK I know mastery/haste are both good for RETs but STR is still your primary stat. Now that Maelstroms are really cheap I would consider re enchanting those tier gloves with - MIGHTY STR +50 enchant, your helm Im presuming is pretty new and as of yet unenchanted, obviously a must for raiding.

As for your proffesions I see you have skinning and mining. Unless you really need the G right now I would highly reccommend moving away from skinning and picking up JC. It is an excellent addition to mining, a good money maker when maxed ( or near max) and gives you 3 JC gems of higher stats which are pretty superior in every way to the skinning proff, which wont help at all really (ok you get a bit of crit but), looking at raiding here.

So based on all this and if you take my fellow officers and guildies comments on board I am willing o say yes to your trial

Good Luck m8

We would like to offer you a trial spot, having a duel spec dps/tank is quite a benefit at the moment, take on board what Sherawr has said, poke an Officer for an invite and welcome to the Guild!
