Valachan - Retribution Paladin

[Valachan]

Greetings,

My name is Gabriele, I'm 25, male and I live in Milan, Italy.
My char name is Valachan, human paladin.
My mainspec is retribution, my offspec is protection. Anyway I dualspecced for the first time a few days ago, so my secondary gear is really for beginners.
My professions are Miner / Skinner, and I'm maximizing those in these days.

Raiding experience in WotLK:
I'm back in WoW after a few months away, so I have not raided in Wotlk yet.

Raiding experience in TBC pre-3.0:
Everything but BT and SWP. When those instances were released I was leaving WoW for a few months.

Raiding experience in classic pre-TBC:
Everything but Naxx 40.

Social stuff:
I'm polite, I don't care to wipe a lot if this is for progressing and for the good of the guild.
I'm willing to accept any order from the raid leader and to leave questions and doubts to the forum.
Well, I'm a good guy, I'm sure you'd like me

Have you got Ventrilo 3.0?
always used teamspeak, but I think it's the same thing, so no problem at all at installing it.

Have you got Omen and DBM or BigWigs?
yes.

I found the raiding days you set up are perfect match with my free days!
I hope to enjoy all the end game content with nice people!

Bye all!

Valachan

Hi Valachan!

Looking at your armory, I have a few questions regarding your gear selection;

- you're 4,6% off hitcap and 5,75% off the expertise cap, while over 3% over the ArP softcap. You've started to gem for hit, but remain uncapped, why?
- green gems and no Hodir enchant, again why?
- Mirror of Truth and Coren's Chromium Coaster do not stack, as they share an internal cooldown. Why use them together?
- to farming professions and no crafting profs are generally considered "lazy mode", is this an issue because of time or because of interest?

Hope you'll have time to answer these questions, so that we get a good picture of what sort of player you are

Hi Valachan!

Hello Barricade, thank you for your answer!

Looking at your armory, I have a few questions regarding your gear selection;
- you're 4,6% off hitcap and 5,75% off the expertise cap, while over 3% over the ArP softcap. You've started to gem for hit, but remain uncapped, why?

I'lltry to fix this matter asap.

- green gems and no Hodir enchant, again why?

Until now I used green gems to save golds for buying the dualspec feature.
Now that I have it I'll buy better gems.
For the Hodir Enchant I'm working these days to reach the appropriate reputation to be able to acquire it.
Also, the only really nice couple of shoulders are from ToTC but Eric doesn't want to drop those for me.
Anyway I'll keep my armory updated.

- Mirror of Truth and Coren's Chromium Coaster do not stack, as they share an internal cooldown. Why use them together?

Did not know this fact. I saw that the crit bonus stacked and I thought that the proc did too.
I'm hoping for the banner from ToTC Normal to drop, but after a ton of runs I've never seen it

- to farming professions and no crafting profs are generally considered "lazy mode", is this an issue because of time or because of interest?

Becouse of time. I'm focusing on gear at the moment.

Hope you'll have time to answer these questions, so that we get a good picture of what sort of player you are

Thank you for your time, and please ask me anything you need to know

Have a nice day,

Valachan

Thank you for good answers! I'll have a chat with you ingame soon

[Barricade]

Since you're cronically difficult to get hold of, and we can't see much progression on your gear and professions, we're going to have to decline this application.

Good luck in your adventures!
