Character specific questions:


Explain your current gear choices and how you hope to improve then in the future.
Well atm im happy with my stats, a little above defence cap and with the gear in ulduar it should go up, letting me switch my rings/neck to something with more avoidance/hit. Health is a bit low compared to the other tanks atm but i think that'l come along.


Comment on how youve chosen to gem and enchant your character, and why you have chosen these gems/enchants.
Well tbh all the tank enchants are kinda textbook. I dont need any defence so i chose Agility on Cloak, and all the rest is stamina, gems are stamina too but i prefer to try my best to stick to socket bonuses and i <3 avoidance


What glyphs are you using and why?
Major: Bone sheild Scourge Strike and Death and Decay.
Scourge Strike is pretty esential as Unholy as it saves us a 2 globals reapplying diseases. Bone sheild as there isnt really a better glyph, and its not that bad. Death and decay is a nice source of aoe threat and its quite strong on single target burst too.

Minor: Raise Dead Horn of Winter and Pestilence.
Raise dead is to save money. Horn is just so we dont have to apply as much and pestilence is the only usefull DK minor rly


Do you have any notable offspec gear and are you experience/up to date with the mechanics of playing your offspecs?
Pretty decent offspec dps gear, but im not really up to date with frost and blood, but unholy is the exact same as tanking

We require you to have at least one crafting profession (not engineering). If you have two gathering professions, would you be prepared to reroll one?
I have two useful professions for tanking


General questions

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?
Well i was in beerform in BC, left to join you guys, never been in another guild since Went social in this guild for a break and for exams and shiz, but wana get back in now raiding is getting interesting.


What role do you feel you provide in a raid and what areas of strengths do you feel your class and spec has over others?
Well our single target threat is decent, and aoe is pretty sick, we can take lots of heavy hits, and hs lots of cd's Its kinda the supertank class, that can do everything, apart from block


What 1 thing would you change about your class if you could?
The nerfs next patch Apart from that i think its pretty pro



What do you think you can add to Eternals?
Well, basicly what i added before, a dedicated member who can make every raid, and turn up with full flasks foodbuffs and indestrucable pots. Also il play to my full potential in the raid.


What do you think Eternals can do for you?
Give me some good laughs, a stable raiding group, and like... Let me be closer to rigs <3


Personal infomation; Name, age, where you live, interests/hobbies, Job and family that will nag you to stop raiding?
My names Connor im 15, i live in wales, my hobbies are biking playing wow music and other gaming shiz I live with my mum, but no worries she wont nag me to stop raiding ^^


Additional information which you would like to name?
Next patch with the nerfs, im debating on wether to go frost or Blood, the frost would mean we're not being gimped on health, but like, blood would mean better threat, il experiment when the time comes but i should be able to keep on my feet ^^

only if you allow me access to the Eternals DK Tank channel

Well il have to discuss it with the other members of the channel but im pretty sure i can let you in

Forgot to mention my Beimba score is 511.25!

Worst UI EU?

My concern is your internet has phases, its fine for a while, then its unplayable for a while more, comment on this plix

Nah its not like that at all m8, my internet went really bad, and it was bad for a long time, there were no phases, its fixed now, its never above 200 ms

are we really that desperate? <3 ^^
gl homie

Let me refer to a post of someone from the guild about this problem:

Real sorry guys, net just went, thought it was the router, turns out it wasnt, was my isp being gay. The timing sucks really as i wanted to be there for the end of the raid, escially to give my end of raid speech!

And this chump has some high or whatever position in the guild sigh ;o.

theres my one DC, or on the other end of the spectrum, Hykos levels of wipe causing, raid slowing dc's. Welsh had the latter for abit :p

But he's welsh.

Id like to point something out, that seeing as we're overstocked on tanks, dont bother accepting me if your only going to be using me for my cooldowns, id want to be a raidar and get considered as a tank for all raids, not just the uberhard hitting bosses. Im happy enough to stay social if thats the case.

so....u'd actually rather do nothing than sporadically do something from time to time? Good to know the will to put in effort's there :p

No, i think its not too much to ask to have a raidspot is it? and no, i wont be doing nothing, id rather know that i have the freedome to go out(yes go out ) and not have to wait on hold every night not to get a spot... If i get accepted as a serious tank, il defo sign up to every raid, i just want to be seriously considered in every raid. Im not saying i need to be in every raid, just saying i want a raidspot, not just to be a backup for when people are unavailable, because i already do that.

go out? something to do with sheep then?

But u make a valid point, in some way. Too bad ur Welsh...and nobody can take u as a serious tank j/k :p

Best of luck anyways, u can join my new guild when it doesn't work out, though.
