I am neither employed nor a student at the moment. I am, however, on the job search and will not allow my potential jobs to interfere with the raid schedule.

Leatherworking provides an additional 80 Intellect on bracers, and can (sometimes) provide access to BiS gear during new content and Alchemy provides an additional 80 Intellect on Flasks and additional duration.

Total: 80 days, @85: 62 days

-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.

This is not my first main character. In Vanilla, I played a Holy Priest (121 days played). In Burning Crusade, I played a Resto/Enhance Shaman (101 days played). In Wrath, I played a Warlock (112 days played). In Cataclysm, I played both my Warlock and Balance Druid.

-Main Spec: (33/0/8)

-What is your current guild? Internet Sports Team

-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.

Affinity (Burning Crusade) Core Raider for the entire expansion, left at disband, Pankeks/Pretense (Wrath) Core to Casual Raider through Wrath, left at disband, and Internet Sports Team in Cata, Core Raider up to present, leaving at disband.

- 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.

I began raiding in Vanilla. I cleared Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Ahn’Qiraj (including Viscidus), and Naxxramas with a guild called Surge. My first Kel’thuzad kill was US#13. In Burning Crusade, I raided competitively in Affinity (Server #1) through Serpent Shrine, Magtheridons Lair, Gruuls, Tempest Keep, Black Temple, and Mount Hyjal. In Wrath, I raided with Pankeks clearing Server 2nd 3 drake Sarth and Naxxramas, including Glory of the Raider (10-Man). I decided to take a leave from raiding to focus on my undergraduate work throughout the rest of WotLK but managed to complete Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10/25-Man) in a timely manner. I completed WotLK as a casual raider in Pretense until disband.

- Any special Achievements / Titles / Mounts you have earned in PvE you would like us to know about?

The Undying, Glory of the Raider (10-Man), Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10/25-Man), The Nightfall (as the warlock tank).

- 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.

INT>Hit/Spirit(to cap)>Haste>Mastery>Crit.

- Which major and prime glyphs do you currently use? Explain your choices.

My Prime glyph choices are Wrath, Moonfire, and Insect Swarm as they provide the largest dps increases consistently. My Major glyph choices are Rebirth, to provide additional health to my target, and Starfall for a dps increase. The third major glyph is personal preference in this case I’m using Innervate.

- Do you have dualspec, and is your offspec something you could viably play in raids? I don’t. 
- 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?

Yes, at this point there are certain talents that are flexible outside of the “dps core talents” and I am willing to adjust those as necessary for defensive/mitigation and other utilities (slows/silences).

- How do you feel about sitting out for any given encounter if we do not need you?

It will happen. Sitting is part of successful raiding/progression, so I am willing to sit when necessary.

- 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.

- What is your reason for applying? What makes us more appealing that any one of the thousands of other raiding guilds out there?

I’ve heard and seen great things from WWA over my time during Cataclysm on Magtheridon. I know while maintaining a serious and focused raid group that you have a great time and keep a good attitude in the raid, which is really important to me as a person and a raider. I hope to contribute to this attitude and be a part of a guild that is focused on successful progression and a competitive, fun, raiding environment.

- Who, if anyone, will vouch for your abilities in WWA? Drye

- Post a screenshot of your UI.(If you are having trouble, use the free image hosting resources of http://imgur.com)

- 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 promise to provide WWA with a solid, intuitive raider who is always striving to improve himself and keeps up to date with the latest theorycraft. I am passionate and persistent when setting goals in life and while playing WoW. I watch the meters very closely and take my performance very seriously. When entering a new encounter I quickly try to find ways to maximize my ability as a moonkin and to be the most effective raider possible.

Good player, raided with him since vanilla, Will make a good addition to WWA.

Are you willing to race change to a useful PvE race?

[Kenny]

Are you willing to race change to a useful PvE race?

Absolutely.

[Big]

Are you willing to race change to a useful PvE race?

I'm not

[Sark]

That's obviously not relevant now, as content is over, but it may be important to have PVE racials as DPS as we push for ranked kills in MoP.

I'll get back to you soonish.

[clearlylol]

Make sure you have 100k gold to give me if you make it. I cover my losses using apps.

I'm sure you've lost more than that due tO that shiity faggots ass teemoh and his only skill to cost us to wipe.

Having quoted this, if you can get a vouch from Drye, you must be something special.

[Sark]

You two are cute.

I'll let you know before the next reset, so finish up this one with your present guild.

After extensive thought, I've decided to withdraw my application. I thank you for your time and consideration, and apologize for any time wasted. Good luck in the future
