Why do you want to join Lemmings?:

Overall first impression was very good. Lemmings seems like a solid guild who can stay on track and up to date on progression. You have a somewhat more relaxed raid schedule than what im used to.

Why are you leaving your current guild or server?:

I have currently 'gone casual' in my current guild mainly because of stress. Being an officer has taken its toll on me and I would much rather enjoy this game instead of stressing about it. My reason for leaving Boulderfist is because none of the current guilds appeal to me, their raid times, progression, and overall atmosphere don't suit what im looking for.

What is your greatest PvE or PvP moment?:

Without a question: downing Kil'jaeden during BC. Was a thrill to finally kill the last boss in the game at that time.

Explain any circumstances (school/work/etc) that may overlap raid times:

At this point in time work and school are both part time, come September I will be returning to school to finish up my MA. My return to school shouldn't be an issue unless you frequently raid +1hour after scheduled raid times.

If you have URLs to WWS parses, please paste them here:

Unfortunately I have none, the few i had from TOGC progression have expired. I will look into this.

Additional comments:

My current spec is based around raiding, my offspec is PvpResto at the moment due to the new season. This is easily changeable to a more tankfriendly spam spec. I have gone for the almost cookie cutter CF spec what with the haste cap increasing last major patch, i am aware i am short ~20 haste assuming that i have a moonkin/ret in the raid, if this is a huge issue a gem can be easily swapped or a more haste friendly non-tier piece of gear.

I am aware you are currently trialing a resto druid which is fine because at this point im keeping my options open.

Thanks for your time, any questions i'll be more than happy to answer.

When one of your three tanks is sick and anothers computer breaks, there isn't much you can do about it, unless you are god himself, which I am not. You are a huge, pathetic, douche bag and you've already transferred off of our server with out speaking to any of your officers.

You really want to talk about stability? How about disconnecting every 3 minutes during a fight, that's seriously stable. Regardless of that fact, you obviously don't pay attention to anything (judging by the amount of times you died in a single night) and you were absolutely terrible at healing. Before you left you did not even contact us about your concerns, if you had any, which you obviously did.

To be honest Trims I feel sorry for whatever guild you wasted your next $25 on trying to impress with your bullshit. You pretty much failed your trial in a week and I'm glad you made the decision to leave before I had to tell you to myself. Good luck.

Put yourself in my shoes. You told me you were stable. My first week there and there's already a raid you had to cancel. Seems like I wasted my 25 buckaroos.

Regardless of one day or two, you've only been here for a week and that is not something we expect from someone trying to prove themselves to our guild. There are many ways you could have communicated with us, but you did not.

Again, don't know what my word counts for here. But you seem like a good app. I wish you had logs though.

Hey as for your questions:

I usually research on the EJ forums and the links hidden within, sometimes druidheal but they've been a little behind lately. My enchanting is only 110 because I started leveling it last night, dropped herbalism for it. If i were to replace val'anyr i would likely go for Dying Light depending on my current haste, if i was at a comfortable level i would consider Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas, although im sure warlocks are lining up for that one lol. My muru and KJ kills were both post nerf, but enjoyable nonetheless.

As for the haste:
I believe with no other raid wide buffs i require around ~1050 haste to be softcapped for gcds. With just an elemental shaman(wrath of air) I need ~860 haste, and with a ret/moonkin + wrath of air i need about 735 haste. All of the numbers assume i have 3/3 points in celestial focus. As my haste goes up with ilvl some points can be taken out of CF and put into +% to nourish/HT or overall crit, its a situational choice.

At the moment I am working on a few courses at home (i visit the school one a week for my lab,, 9am tuesdays) and i work part time as cashier. I was working as an analyst last year until the economy sunk and layoffs sent the environmental field into the shits, so now im just relaxing behind a register catching up on reading. Returning to school in September to finish up my masters in Environmental Toxicology, im a huge science and math fan so it seems fitting.

I'll SS a UI pic shortly

As far as i know Blood Queens bite should be passed to the highest DPS since it gives a short damage increase until the player is required to bite another person. I assume I wouldn't be getting bitten at all, unless it is to save someone from being Mind controlled. On Dreamwalker, when healers go into the portals they should attempt to stay close together and eat the clouds as a group so that everyone in the dream can benefit somewhat equally. As for the black pools on Lich King, all i really know is that each time it deals damage to someone within its range it grows in size.

No, i do not keyboard turn lol.

Im not the greatest with computers but i have a Dell XPS (My Computer says: intel core2 quad q8200, 8gb memory, nvidia video card) If you need more in depth info about this let me know, i'll get a friend to help me look it up, im somewhat computarded when im not using SCADA or spreadsheets lol. Rogers cable internet, i have about 120-200ms lingering in Dal on a busy day.

Again, if you would like me to be a little more specific on some of these topics just let me know!

More Canadians! Nice app, you seem well informed. Few questions for you Steve:


Where do you normally research class information and how often?

Why is your enchanting only at 110 and not at a usable level? When did you start leveling enchanting?

If you were planning on upgrading your Val'anyr which item would you go for?

Did you kill M'uru pre or post nerf?

Since you brought it up, please list the values of Haste needed with and without ele/boomkin buffs (all situations).

What are you doing for a living while in school?

What are you studying in school?

Can you please post a picture of your UI in our picture gallery?

How does the bite work on Blood Queen? Would you end up being bitten?

On Dreamwalker what are the healers supposed to do when they jump into the nightmare portals?

What are the black pools on the ground in the Lich King encounter called? How does the mechanic work?

Do you keyboard turn?

Please list off the specs of your computer, list your internet provider and your latency on West Coast servers.



Thanks! Feel free to join us in chat at any time during work hours. =]
