98 (Total) 20 (85)
-Is this your first main character? If not what did you used to play? When did you start playing WoW? (Im including time played with the character names)*Total Time:Time at 85.
No, This is my new main for this expansion. I have played my rogue (Lucc 212:35) Through BC/Wrath/Cata and My paladin (Shiftqloneil 98:20) and warlock (Warlucc 62) Through vanilla. I started WoW in 2004.
-Main Spec: (32/5/4). If you have a relevant offspec for raiding, tell us about that as well.
Holy is my main spec. The only difference I could see is dropping Sacred cleansing or even a point in Last Word for a point into Blessed Life. My Offspec is ret which is on my armory.

-What is your current guild?
Buncha Goobers
-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.
<Buncha Goobers> We were friends trying our best to be progression. We did really well during BWD/BOT top parsing on all fights with our members(me on rogue),but died due to recruiting issues. I was raid leader so I was pretty active during our 5 months of raiding.
<Nightmares Asylum> (Wrath) Top 10 US guild during Ulduar(25). Raided on my Rogue during progression up to and including Vezax. We reformed into Illuminati and tried to keep it going but a lot of player performance issues caused the GM to go to Premonition. I left for the same reasons.
<Ascendants> (BC) Casual guild. I didnt like it but was the only guild that would take a pvp rogue. They didnt do much, up to council in BT.
- What end game raiding experience do you have? Be thorough. The more detail the better.
Vanilla- (Shattered Hand-Alliance)Raided Ony/MC with Malice(DnT), stopped for a bit came back to do BWL/ZA/ZG/AQ40 up to Twin Emps with THC. Switched to my (Balnazzar-Horde) Warlock, did CThun and Naxx up to Maex on my lock, Went to my pally joined Dread(Korgath-Alliance) when Shattered Hand transfers to Korgath came up. Did up to 4horsemen didnt like the enviroment so I quit.
BC- Made my rogue. I pvp'd a lot so I didnt do much raiding during BC. SSC/TK with Malficient(Mannoroth-Horde) they died so I joined Ascendants, did BT to Council and just sat then Wrath came out.
Wrath- Joined DNS(Mannoroth-Horde) Did Naxx/Occulus/Sartharion pretty quickly. It was a pvp guild pveing so obvious complications arose and it ended as quickly as it began. Joined Nightmares Asylum for the Ulduar progression did a lot with them, I left out of frustration with how the players were acting. Nightmares Asylum reformed into Illuminati joined during ICC same issues, same frustrations.
Cata- Bunch of Goobers(Mannoroth-Horde/Alliance) Started guild with friends we progressed quickly through BoT/BWD/TotF getting our Defender titles very quickly, but after that we had roster issues and could not continue into heroics. Went to alliance and started up again in Firelands. Did very well getting to Rag legs with 2 days of attempts but ended up having roster issues again limiting our attempts and eventually killing the guild.
- Any special Achievements / Titles / Mounts you have earned in PvE you would like us to know about?
Other then our fast Defender(which is ok but not much) no real relevant ones. Multiple Glad mounts and Ulduar mounts.
- Link to WWS / WMO logs of recent raid(s) you have attended.

- Provide a Quick Summary of your "Valuable" Stats (Healing, Attack Power, etc.) as you understand them for your class.
In best gear it would be: Int, Haste, Spirit, Crit, Mastery
- Which major and prime glyphs do you currently use?
Prime:[Divine Favor], [Seal of Insight], [Word of Glory]
Best options for Holy.
Major:[Divine Plea], [Light of Dawn], [Divinity]
I prefer Glyph of Divinity with my current gear. Would probably go Glyph of [Divine Protection] with better gear.
- Do you have dualspec, and is your offspec something you could viably play in raids?
Yes, my ret set is a work in progress, but I can play it just as well as holy.
- 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?
Any spec works for me. If you need it I'll spec it.
- How do you feel about sitting out for any given encounter if we do not need you? It will happen.
When you join a progression guild, you join knowing you might be sat. I dont have a problem with it.
- 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)?
Yes. Raid Raid Raid
- What is your reason for applying? What makes us more appealing that any one of the thousands of other raiding guilds out there?
I'm looking to be in a competitive high end guild. I've only heard good things from the members I have talked to.
- Who, if anyone, will vouch for your abilities in WWA?
Raw
- Post a screenshot of your UI.

- 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've been playing games for a very long time. I always play them at a competitively high level. I have always played to be the best at my class in any situation. So everytime I come to raid you know you can count on me to perform and make as few errors as possible. Im a perfectionist and respond well to feedback to help me improve on an area you think I lack in. I will always give 100% and raiding is my priority. I have a lot of experience coming in and hope to gain more.

Why do you use the EG spec? Why do you put 3/3 in PoI?

Looking at your Baleroc kill, you got countdown once but tormented twice? Did you run into another player with torment, did he run into you?

Alysrazor shows you taking 13 ticks of firestorm?

Why do you use the EG spec? Why do you put 3/3 in PoI?

I personally find EG spec better as of this patch because generating holy power sometimes can be hard without procs so for me having a chance to keep 3 holy power outweighs other talents. 3/3 PoI also I think is personal preference and what specific job you are doing. Usually healing on Beth makes it so you can beacon a dps and heal tank and yourself with ease(10man).I would probably move a point into Last Word if i was thinking about a change.

Looking at your Baleroc kill, you got countdown once but tormented twice? Did you run into another player with torment, did he run into you?

In my guild I dont move so the only possibility is someone ran into me.

Alysrazor shows you taking 13 ticks of firestorm?

I'm not really sure where on the log it shows that. Can you please link.

[Donatist]

Was looking at the wrong spell!

[Sark]

I think your spec is fine, i think he was more asking a question to see your justification. I personally find PoJ to be more useful for 25man in FL at the present, but that's certainly a matter of preference. Also, with relatively low movement in a lot of the hardmodes on DS, EG might decidedly outweigh PoJ.

Anyway, this look good enough to give you a shot, i'll get back to you in a bit.
