WoW is addicting, its a fun game. I don't let it take over my life though, but I do spend enough time on the game to enjoy it. I play other games such as counter strike and first person/third person shooters.

Currently I'm using Shadow Ward: Pain Glyph because I'm not too mana efficient as yet. Once I am, I will switch it up to Glyph of Mind Sear to help my overall DPS, and damage.

Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters?
I always search up encounters on YouTube and other websites to help with encounters. What I like about watching videos instead of reading up on the fight is I get to see hands on, what exactly goes down. Other than that I learn abilities and what not at WoWHead.

What do you think about beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content?
Love it, more progression.

Post a WWS report / WMO / WOL of a few recent raids in your guild. If your guild does not run these, post a SS of your recount for some boss encounters. (MANDATORY)

Truthfully, I haven't been in a guild for 7 months. Quit end game Ulduar for personal reasons. Just started playing again. I will use my first week in The Naked Fear as a trial week for DPS. Will show what I can do. Or if I pug from now until then, I will take some screenshots.

Post a screenshot of your UI while in a raid enviroment in combat. (MANDATORY)

Maxed Tailoring / Enchanting.

What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM? Why are you leaving? Include there website.
I'm currently in just a friend guild at the moment, nothing serious. I want to see end game Lich King before the expansion, and would like to progress more once that is out.

Amaze us with your theorycrafting abilities! This is your opportunity to show us how much you know about your class. Do NOT simply make a list of things someone told you to do, tell us WHY.

At the moment there isn't a known rotation to shadow priests to maximize dps.
When I have full Sanctified gear, I will be able to drop Mind Blast from my rotation since it hurts my DPS more than help. But currently it is as followed :

To my liking this is my rotation : VT / DP / MF / -SW:P / MB / MF MF MF etc.

I use this rotation to open up with Misery. I then cast SW:P after reaching 5 stacks of shadowweaving to maximize DPS. I include SW:D but only when moving.

I use mods to help me not clip my Dots. Clipping dots hurts DPS by at-least 1 tick per move [WASTE]

My current priority list is
1. DoTs (VT and DP)
2. Replenishment
3. Mind Flay

During heavy movement fights, I change the priority list to instant cast dots such as DP and and SW:D plus shadow-fiend.

How can we contact you outside of the game? AIM, Email, etc...
aim : es101346 -------- Email : ximythix@live.com

Can you make 90% of raid times?
100% of raid times. I work at home, so I'm here all the time.

Why do you want to be a part of TNF and how did you find out about us?

Found out about TNF from Youngmaster, who also just app'd. Great rogue btw. Heard about your progression and would like to help you help me straight into Cataclysm.

Hit me up in game when you get a chance. Ill be on either Mistified or Cupkakes.


Also, where in NY?

Impressive app.

Do you use your shadowfiend in your rotation for dps maximization? I see you have nevermelting ice crystal as one of your trinkets - how do you utilize its proc to help your dps?

Interesting to hear you're not mana efficient. Is this mainly during trash pulls or during boss fights? I glanced over your talent tree - it should provide adequate mana return during fights except when you're using mind sear and dotting adds.

Nice app. Dont think I even need to look at gear.

Make sure you are on tuesday night

Probably one of the best apps ive seen yet.

WoW!!! That's not something you see every day.

Thanks for the kind words guys, and I'll be on Tuesday for sure. To answer Athris, I'm in Brooklyn. And to Preach, My shadowfiend is always on cooldown ;] .. And of course the trinket is always on CD also. I work them in 98% of the time. And about the mana thing, it works out pretty good now, just picked up a few more pieces, i hit 80 about 1-2 week ago on this toon, put in alot of work these 2 weeks. Anyhow, I'll be on for raid times tomorrow, shoot me an invite ;]

Nice app and look forward to seeing you Tues night.
