Malina/Human/Warlock (70)
Talent build, i.e. 7/7/41.
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Argent Dawn&n=Malina[/b]Please explain why you have chosen your talent build and what you consider to be its strengths and weaknessesSurvivability and flexibility and exercise from running away from threat that I’ve stolen.
I have chosen more stamina for health and improved life tap for more mana when I need it as well as damage protection provided by nether protection and soul leech that gives me back health after a life tap or I’ve taken damage. I have the distance and threat reduction in destructive reach talent.
Being mostly destruction I’ve used talents to enhance my shadow and fire damage, but favour shadow due to the extra damage caused with getting a critical (improved Shadowbolt).
The downside is that I don’t quite reach top end damage as I don’t have the extra talents in Demonology
Would you be willing to respec for the good of the guild and discuss your build with officers who have the proper knowledge?Of course, I’m always very interested to experiment. Especially when stats are collected to help make decisions.
Comments regarding your gear setup, is there a plan behind it, i.e. more emphasis on AP than hit or is it randomly put together because it was the best you could find?My gear is set up with damage in mind, mostly crit but to make up in the other gaps such as hit, and spell haste etc.
How many nights per week can you attend raids? (Current 25-man raid days are tuesday, thursday, sunday)Really not sure about this. I’m a busy bee but I’d be eager to make as much as possible, I’m sure that I could make a couple. I have a girlfriend In Sweden that I quite often visit at weekends, I live in the UK. I think the times of raids are important for me as well, but I think that I heard its 19:30 until 23:00?
Prior raid experience and raid guild / raid community.I’ve previously been a member of two raid groups. Theramore Compact – MC, AQ20, ZG - and then second was HFC AQ40, Naxx, BWL (Happy Fun Club)
Reason for leaving your prior raid guild / raid community.Left the first guild as I felt the raid leader was being unfair and controlling.
Left HFC when I realized that I was being a hindrance because I was lagging in Naxxaramus and this was being misinterpreted. It was awful having to run inbetween acid spouts with a delay; it was like trying to sprint in platform boots. – My computer just couldn’t keep up at the time.
How important is loot to you? And why?Loot isn’t all that important to me, I like the idea of my character being better and being a useful addition to the group so like to have gear for that. I would have slightly better equipment if I didn’t despise grinding.
Do you agree with our policies? And our expectations of being prepared for every raid?I agree with the policies that I’ve found and always agree with being prepared for each raid as this means that it runs more efficiently and time is well used.
Tell us the basic facts about yourself in real life (age, nationality, hobbies etc).I’m 29 old, Live in Scotland. I’m studying a distance degree in International Development, Learning Spanish, Compete in under 105kg Strongman, and Campaign for human and animal rights. Enjoy Origami and playing games.
How did you hear about BotE and what are you expectations of the guild?I heard about you from Minika who I like very much. I expect there to be no disputes over insignificant things and for being to enjoy themselves and occasionally dance.
Do you know anyone inside BotE who can vouch for you?Oh not sure about this one. I wouldn’t want to say without asking them first. Perhaps quite a few people have met me in the game.
Do you feel we've missed something you want to add?I’ve got a sense of humour and I also try to be patient. So I try not to take the wrong things too seriously and the right things very seriously and I like to eat peas.
