WWA is a great raiding guild and I would like to raid with them.

- 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.

When I am tanking I'm really focused on what is going on around me at the time. I take all criticism and will do what told while raiding. I normally have knowledge of fights but if there is something even the smallest thing about an encounter i will ask people look it up to try to figure out how to improve my knowledge of that encounter.

Simply put, we're a top US guild, and you have seen a grand total of 1 normal mode this expansion. You are applying for a high responsibility job.

This is like applying to be a heart surgeon with a degree from the Ringling Brother's Clown College.
