After we started bringing Serennia to Sunwell raids, he came off to me as a person who will say anything he can to insure he would have a raid spot. He would also flip-flop alot, just depending on the situation he was in. An example, one night on KJ progress he absolutely HAD TO HAVE A WINDFURY TOTEM, so of course, we made efforts to try and get him one since he just "COULDNT DPS AS AN ARMS WARRIOR WITHOUT ONE". We had one of our shadow priests log off his account and log on an enhancement shaman account just so Serennia could have a windfury totem. Later that night, Serennia also informed me that he had to leave at 11pm server time because he had to practice his 3v3 arena. Now, allow me to show you something taken directly from our recruitment policy.

If you can't manage your time in-game well enough to make sure you're prepared for all boss encounters scheduled then we'll have a problem. Basically, if you can't put your time and effort into PvE, we don't want you to apply.  
 
 
Don't get me wrong here, Serennia was very active. I don't think he missed a raiding night since he was recruited. But if you join my guild and tell me you have to leave a progress raid early because you have to practice your 3v3 arena, you're going to see steam shooting out of every hole on my body.  
 
The next day on KJ when we were discussing group makeup, we brought up the point that Serennia won't have a windfury totem this time, so we should sit him. This is where he informed us that "WINDFURY ISNT THAT IMPORTANT FOR AN ARMS WARRIOR, IT'S BARELY A DPS INCREASE". Obviously, he was just saying anything he could not to be sat. When he was sat was when I got a "TLDR" tell from him, defending his point about running two melee groups, just so he could have his raiding spot back. Now, allow me to show you something taken directly from our recruitment policy.

Sometimes it's full time position, sometimes it's part time which turns into a "full time position". Basically, there is no such thing as a guaranteed raid spot in VANQUISH. We do things based on what needs to be done in order to progress and/or kill bosses, which sometimes aren't always the most fair way of doing things.
 
 
We only had about 20 minutes left on KJ at this time so I really didn't want to make any major changes to the group even though "EVERYONE IN ROGUECHAT AGREES WITH ME" according to ol' Serennia. Like I said earlier, this guy really does seem to just say whatever he can to make sure he gets his way and this is when I decided he wasn't going to last that week or two I had hoped for. I decided to remove him that night. Here is a copy of the PM I sent him to inform him of his removal:

Putting this in a PM because I don't feel like being interupted and force fed bull**** from you. I sent you a PM two weeks ago warning you about your **** attitude and you couldn't even own your flaws. Instead you respond with a defense for your PvP bull****.
 
To keep this short, you're not going to work here. You are, without a doubt, the most arrogant, self-centered, cancerous player I have ever met and you are the absolute biggest mistake I've ever made in this guild. I took a chance and rolled the dice with you and I lost. I'm cutting the strings now before you can do anymore damage, which would of happened sooner than later because ABSOLUTELY NOBODY can stand your "I'M NEVER WRONG, I AM THE BEST AT THIS GAME, GIVE ME ANY JOB AND I'LL DO IT BETTER THAN ANY OF YOU" attitude.
 
Any skill you have in your arena is dwarfed by your incredibly ****ty attitude that we're not going to deal with anymore.
 
You're welcome to respond to this, but this is something I've been discussing with officers and other people and nothing you can say will change my decision. Good luck in whatever future endeavours you pursue Serennia.
 
 
Serennia responded to this by trying to have a conversation with me, either in ventrilo or in tells but there is really nothing he could say to change my decision. I gave him a three week notice about his attitude and he didn't improve at all. The only reason he wanted to get me in ventrilo is to try and fast talk his way back into the guild, which would never happen. His next plan of action was to send tells to members of VQ, literally EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of VANQUISH and beg them to plead for his reinvite to the guild.  
 
There are some people in VQ who disagree with my decision to remove him, which can be understood from the point of view they're looking at the situation from. But there alot of people in VQ who agree with the decision and understand why. Like I said in my PM to Serennia, I only care about the well being of this guild and Serennia is, without a doubt, a cancerous player that had to be removed before he could cause more damage than he was worth.  
 
His removal was based off of alot of deciding factors, most of which are in this post. His removal wasn't irrational, it was talked about for weeks prior. We just didn't know when it was going to happen.  
 
To Serennia, you're welcome to continue on with your "smear campaign", I wouldn't expect anything less from a man who thinks so highly of himself. This guild has survived our literal death and rebirth from the end of vanilla WoW to the begining of TBC. This guild has survived Hellaz '08 and we will survive "Serennia, the destroyer of guilds". All joking aside I didn't mean any disrespect by not speaking with you, I just had nothing to say to you and nothing you could of said to me would of changed anything. You're a great player, won't deny that. You just didn't work out here. Like I said, good luck in whatever and wherever you go.

3 stack of lifebloom = 650healing/sec for 6 seconds, 650(6)=3900/220=17.72 mana per healing
 
flash of light = 1550/1.5 or 1033 healing/sec, 8.6 mana per healing
 
holy light = 4330/2.0 or 2165 healing/sec, 4.9 mana per healing
 
assuming you have amazing gear (2 pc t6, pve accessories) and have 2200 heal with 29% fol crit and 40% hl, your mana efficiency goes up by BaseCost * Illumination60% * CritRate
 
fol = 180 * .6 * .29, or -31 mana per heal to 149 avg, or 17% more h/m. 8.6*=10.062 healing/mana
 
hl = 880 * .6 * .4, -211, 669, 669/880=.76, 4.9*1.76= 8.624 healing/mana
 
but crit also increases healing per second, you say! not by much, unfortunately. if you have a 40% chance to crit heal for 50% extra, that's 20% average healing/s increase. it also increases healing per mana similarily, if you don't have any overhealing.
 
fol: 1033hp/s -> 1239hp/s, 10.062h/m -> 12.0744 h/m
hl: 2165hp/s -> 2598 hp/s, 8.6h/m -> 10.32 h/m
lifebloom: 650h/s, 17.72h/m
 
this is assuming the paladin is freecasting with zero interrupts. these numbers also assume the paladin doesnt have curse of tongues or his target doesnt get cycloned. the numbers with cot (which a good warlock will have permanently on a paladin)
 
fol: 1.5 cast time * 1.6, or 2.4. 1239/1.4=885 hp/s
hl: 2.0 cast time * 1.6, or 3.2 2598/2.2=1180 hp/s
 
keep in mind that theory is rarely similar to reality. in theory, nobody is interrupting the paladin, his healed target doesn't need to chase out of line of sight, the paladin doesn't need to move and can turret heals, etc. if a paladin wants to get these numbers, he needs to have optimal gear. my hp/s for holy light assumes you've cast one in the last 15 seconds (light's grace) which rarely happens in 3s or 2s. a druid maintaining a 3 stack of lifebloom heals for 650/s 17.7h/m can multitask. he's not healing at full capacity. i won't even go into how much healing/sec a druid can do with regrowth, rejuve, swiftmend (and its efficiency when used at the last tick) and NS: it's just better. druids also have a hella easier time drinking because they can heal near full capacity while running away to sip. druids also have a much higher mp/5 than paladins. in a mix of pve and pvp gear, i have 115. my druid in solely pvp and honor gear has 195. the healing and crit used in my calc is unattainable for most paladins doing arena, and the average paladin at 2200+ is there largely due to his gear.in pvp stuff, a paladin would be lucky to break 1800 healing, 70 mp/5 and 20% crit.
 
if you leave a perfectly geared paladin alone, he can do more healing/sec than a druid that's pressing lifebloom once every 6 seconds, but after 3 minutes, the druid will have 80% mana and the paladin will be out
 
paladins are mana efficient because they can't use their mana. bad druids complain about efficiency because they don't use their abilities wisely. these are not myths, but facts.
 
 
[edit: crit on fol m/h is overstated. calculated using 40% crit instead of 29%. proper m/h = 10.062*1.145, not 10.062*1.2]
