Ul-screenshot, (https://imgur.com/) (link):https://i.imgur.com/e13NR.jpgAs you can see in the UI, combo points are displayed as white dots, poision stacks as green dots.
I use IceHUD for tracking things like S&D, RvS and my cooldowns.
CLCinfo gives me dynamic cooldown timers depending on my energy level and mob health
Raven handles all my timer bars and buffs, short terms near my health plate, long term up top.
OtherHow do you prepare for raids?:
Generally watch a fatboss guide two or three times before the fight, then scan a few forums of the class I'm playing as they often contain some tips from other members of how to approach the fight.
Do you know anyone in the guild?
I do not.
Do you use keybindings (list them if you do)?:
I use, extensively, a Razer Naga for my keybindings together with a large portion of the left hand side of my keyboard.
Please explaine your playstyle(Rotation / Prio list):
As combat, it's incredibly simple:
Sinister Strike as combo point builder, get Slice and Dice up early, keep it up with any amount of combo points.
Use Revealing strike at 4 combo points going into an Eviscerate.
Use Killing Spree ahead of Adrenaline rush for maximum up time.
Energy capping is simply a part of combat play at this gear level, I try to avoid it where I can, but during adrenaline rush it will eventually cap out.
Tricks of the Trade stays on CD
As sub, it's a fair bit more complicated.
Try and gain 5cp before the pull
prepot, stealth, tricks, slice and dice, premeditated shadowstep into an ambush for the opening
Should be at 5cp again for rupture, maintain this buffed version throughout the fight with Eviscerate
Instantly use hemorrhage and maintain the glyphed bleed debuff it provides on top of the extra bleed damage
Then use backstab as the cp generator to get up Slice and dice and then Recuperate
However, do not use backstab when you're at low (subjective on the fight) energy and instead wait for Honor amongst Thieves to proc you a combo point
Maintaining the Find Weakness buff is imperative to good dps as sub, as such, after the first buff fades, pop shadow dance and spam ambush for combo points, keep using Eviscerate for extra energy regen, once that Find Weakness fades, then pop Vanish to get another ambush, once that fades use preperation to get another vanish and repeat.
Tricks of the trade stays on CD.
How do you keep updated on your class changes and theorycrafting?:
I maintain a good standing at Elitist Jerks and I enjoy playing with simulationcraft and to a lesser extent Shadowcraft. I also did a lot of the theory crafting over on MMO-C on the subject of whether or not hemorrhage is a viable combo point builder for Subtlety. Turns out it is, just
What do you think is important for maintaining a good guild and how do you approach this?:
Communication, reliability and fairness.
Communication is handled differently in all guilds, I try to get to know the chain of command and make myself as useful as possible to this cause. I try to never step out of line, but do offer my opinions and thoughts when it is appropriate.
Reliability is handled on my end by always being there when the guild requires me, I am a dedicated, honest and loyal player. I stayed with my last guild until the very bitter end.
Why do you want to join Anguish?:
Your progress speaks for itself, I believe I can help to better this progress. I honestly believe I have been held back from my full potential for many years now and wish to relive that cutting edge progression side of things.
I also know that I can beat several of your dps
and the thrill of competition is a great draw for me.
