Do you have any other Real Life obligations which might prevent you from attending 99% of our raids? Will you, in the near future, have any obligations that will make you unable to raid?

- Class / Character Name: Druid / Darthn
- Race: Troll
- Professions: Leatherworking & Engineering
- Do your professions increase your performance in raids? Explain your choices
I chose LW a long time ago for the resist to bracers enchants, it has since grown to have a nice Agi bonus to my set at low cost. I used to be JC, then enchanting and now engineering. The Synapse Springs help (especially during burst) and the boots help (especially on Rag progression) when they don't backfire!
- Total time played (/played) and Time played at 85
Total: 486 days 8 hours 47 mins
Time @ 85: 60 days 10 hours 47 mins
-Is this your first main character? If not what did you used to play? When did you start playing WoW? Please provide detailed information about time spent on all your previous characters. Tell us as much as you can, the more the better.
First character I ever made back in Vanilla. I played this character from launch day till now. In vanilla I was resto, BC i was feral tank/resto, WotlK I was tank/dps as feral, Cata I played all feral. My alts are a Unholy/Frost DK, Demon/Aff warlock (don't play much) and a Ret paladin.
-Main Spec: (x/x/x) (include a link from http://www.wowhead.com if it differs from the spec you presently have on armory). If you have a relevant offspec for raiding, tell us about that as well.
0/34/7 - My other spec is for PvP.

-Armory Link: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/deat...alent/secondary. (Be sure to log out with your raiding gear on)

-What is your current guild? None (Ascend broke up)
-What were the last 3 guilds you were in? What are the reasons for leaving your last and current guild? Tell us about your time in each and how active you were in each.
Ascend - GM broke up the guild from some drama that happened in D3 while I was sleeping.
Enigma - Fraya (GM) quit the game so we reformed as Ascend.
Vodka - Poor management at the beginning of Cata. Killars screwed a few of us out of our invinsible mounts because he wanted to make IRL $ for selling the mounts (which he did). Claimed it was for Blizzcon then said "well i didn't make enough so I don't want to be bias" and kept it all. I think he got away with $4k + 2 iPads.
- What end game raiding experience do you have? (This includes in vanilla WoW, TBC and WOTLK as well as Cata. be specific.) Be thorough. The more detail the better.
Vanilla - Cleared everything with Might
BC - Started raiding with Black Watch, then joined Nether then Premonition during Sunwell. Finished off Sunwell with Premonition.
WOTLK - Cleared everything with top US ranking till Icecrown. A lot of drama in the guild cause me and 7 others to just quit the guild. Finished off WOTLK with Vodka.
Cata - Started with Vodka and quit for awhile then joined Eternal Reign because a few members from other guilds that broke up (Deus Vox, Cuties Only) wanted me to play and they needed a Feral. Work schedule got a little more strict and due to the guild being PST I left the guild and joined Enigma. I am still friends with all of the members in ER as they agreed why I left. Cleared all content in Engima and finished the tier with a US 4th ranking.
- Any special Achievements / Titles / Mounts you have earned in PvE you would like us to know about?
All server firsts with titles that are included (except ToGC as I let Melthu do the zone and get the first kill).
US 1st World 3rd Alone in the darkness
World 1st - Heroic: A Tribute to Insanity
World 1st - Heroic: A Tribute to Skill

- Link to WWS / WMO logs of recent raid(s) you have attended.
I think this is the most recent WoL - http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-z5ef...sum/damageDone/

Rankings (10 man since Ascend was 10 man):
Morchok - http://www.worldoflogs.com/rankings/player...eral-Cat_Druid/ - 11/12 (2 different people logged)
Zon'ozz - no good ranking since I had to peel off and kill tenticles/eyes, so I couldn't sit on the boss and do work.
Yor'sahj - http://www.worldoflogs.com/rankings/player...eral-Cat_Druid/ - 10th
Hagara - Nothing worth noting. Phases took too long.
Ultraxion - http://www.worldoflogs.com/rankings/player...eral-Cat_Druid/ - 17th
Blackhorn - nothing good, too much running around no cheesing.
Spine - http://www.worldoflogs.com/rankings/player...eral-Cat_Druid/ - 9th/27th (different people logging)
Madness - http://www.worldoflogs.com/rankings/player...eral-Cat_Druid/ - 5th/30th (different people logging)

- Provide a Quick Summary of your "Valuable" Stats (Healing, Attack Power, etc.) as you understand them for your class.
Agi - AP/Crit for cat.
Crit - Allows additional combo point generation. Max crit % based off Hit/Exp ratings, the lower the ratings the lower the Crit Cap.
Haste - Most valuable other than Agi. Haste increases energy regen rate allowing for more attacks and reducing the base atk speed increasing the # of white attacks.
Mastery - Increases bleed dmg. Very close 2nd with Crit.

- Which major and prime glyphs do you currently use? Explain your choices
Prime: Rip/Bloodletting/Beserk - Rip/Bloodletting complement each other. Bloodletting mainly to allow for more shreds in a fight and reduce the amount of rip refreshes that need to happen. Beserk because I use all cooldowns/potions/dmg increasing abilities during beserk, so increasing it for an additioanl 10s means more dps time with a lower energy value. More shreds/bites.
Major: Rebirth/Frenzied Regen, Feral Charge - Rebirth for combat rezzes, Frenzied Regen for the buff with 4p, Feral charge to allow more run out/charges for additional Ravages.

- Do you have dualspec, and is your offspec something you could viably play in raids? Offspec is for PvP. It used to be tank.

- What spec do you prefer? Are you willing to respec if an emergency arises? Are you willing to respec to the optimal spec for a progression boss?
Prefer feral. I have respecced to boomkin for Ragnaros and don't mind doing it where needed. I have also used my tank spec for raids where needed due to a tank being MIA.

- How do you feel about sitting out for any given encounter if we do not need you? It will happen.
I don't mind sitting if my class is crap for a specific fight.

- Are you willing to spend 400+ gold a night in repairs and consumables, stay focused and wipe for 4 hours straight, come back the next day and do it all over again until a new boss dies (even on "farm" content)?
Used to spending the gold on repairs and raiding long hours with wiping.

- What is your reason for applying? What makes us more appealing that any one of the thousands of other raiding guilds out there?
Current guilds GM took the guild apart and killed it. Ridd told me about the guild.

- Who, if anyone, will vouch for your abilities in WWA?
Ridd now that he's joined. I don't know anyone else unless I played with them in the past and they name changed.

- Post a screenshot of your UI.(If you are having trouble, use the free image hosting resources of http://imgur.com)
http://i.imgur.com/TbbgU.jpg -- older UI screenshot, nothing has changed. Debuffs in between player/target frames below the character.

- Last words: Show us what sets you apart from the rest of the candidates; what makes you better? What can you bring to WWA? What do you want us to know that wasn’t covered? Let us know why WE want YOU. This is your last chance to impress us, be thorough. Do not answer this question with one sentence. Once again, the more complete the answer, the better.
I have a long standing raiding history with the game. I have experience all that Blizzard has thrown at me at the highest level of raiding. I have played with some of the best in the game and played at Blizzcon in front of 20k people. I have written mods for this game in BigWigs. I am a team player, I don't mind helping other guildies out when they need it. I am active in forums and contribute to strats. I have a lot of contacts in other guilds and access to a lot of other guilds forums to gather any additional information when trying new content.

[Sark]

At first glance looks quite good, i'll get back to you within a day tops.

[Lamdeeze]

I like how palanaar is in your screenshot.

[Darthn]

Ya it's an OLD screenshot. i have a new one on a test dummy if you want that one. it's exactly the same UI. I use LUI with pitbull, Skada and a few other custom mods.

[Lamdeeze]

Everything looks good to me, we'll give you a shot. When you get over just ask around and find somebody that can invite.

[Stommped]

Can you get Fountain to app?

[clearlylol]

Hmmm, I'mma ask my ER friends about you.

what a huge dickwad.

[The Palioh]

Why would you want an invisible mount anyway?!

[Darthn]

Hmmm, I'mma ask my ER friends about you.

Which friends? Not sure who's there that I still know. I know Shelendil, Songo, Wakefield, Mattwdf are still there I believe. I still have full access to their website and post on there from time to time.

[clearlylol]

From what I heard it was all good, though I was told you left ER due to Dan bringing another feral in from DV. That was the only negative thing said of you, other than that peeps vouched for you.

Nope, i have my "leaving" post. had nothing to do with the druid that Dan demoted eventually (said feral druid also sucked @ spine/rag during progression). Shel always complained about her. I couldn't raid till 2:30-3am EST and get up for work at 6am. Doesn't work very well when you get 3hrs of sleep every night all week long.

lol. are there additional forums I should be seeing? Someone said something about posting in the D3 forum last night but I do not see any D3 forum, so I assume my privileges need to be raised to view the additional forums.

[Botty]

an officer has to upgrade your account to member so you have access to the member forums post in the need access thread here:

[Darthn]

I got dominated by forums. I don't have access to post in the request for access forum.

[Lamdeeze]

I think only sark or palioh can do it at this point.

[Darthn]

well i probably could find a way to get super user rights BUT i'm not that guy anymore.
