Person Information
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Timezone: EST
TG raids 5 days a week when the content demands it, 6:30-11:30 EST Sunday to Thursday. Would you be able to maintain an 80% attendance rate?: Yes, I am fully capable of making all raids.
Do you know anyone in TG who would vouch for your skill as a player? If so, who?: No, I don't know anyone in this guild. =/
What is you previous guild history and explain any reasons why you left them. (long answer): My previous guild was Vital (Dark Iron, www.vitalraid.com). The guild fell apart about two weeks ago due to our inability to complete hard modes. People weren't signing on and we couldn't full our 23rd, 24th or 25th raid spots for the last few weeks, which led to a guild demise and many major raid members have since moved on to better guilds.
Have you ever been a raid leader, class leader, officer, or website administrator with another guild? (long answer): No, I have not.
Why do you want to join TG over another guild on this server? (long answer): I found this guild through Guild Recruitment on the World of Warcraft forums, so I know nothing of other guilds on the server, unfortunately.
Please describe in detail your previous raid experience, pre-BC, BC, and current content. Include information if you participated in pre-nerf kills, legitimate attunements (such as Hand of A’dal), etc. (long answer): I have been playing since closed beta in 2004. I have leveled two priests to 80, one pre-bc and one post-bc. I raided Molten Core with Blood Legion (Illidan) back in Vanilla WoW as well as Blackwing Lair. I don't have any pre-nerf kills of Mu'ru, KJ, Vashj, etc. I have however completed all raid content that exists in the game during the time that is was being attempted. As far as current content I participated in server firsts of Vezax, Mimiron, FL, Thorim, Freya. We killed all Ulduar bosses pre-nerfs (XT, Yogg, Mimiron nerfs, etc.) and cleared up to Yogg in the first reset, and got Yogg on the 2nd reset.
Explain in detail the way you DPS/Heal/Tank, rotations, gear selection, gemming, etc. Convince us that you have thorough and extensive knowledge of your class. Links to WWS or similar performance recording tools are helpful. (long answer): I have been playing a priest since closed beta back in 2005. I have seen the class change and evolve and have had to adjust with the changes over the years. With the most recent changes brought on by 3.0 and 3.1 I have come to learn how to play an entirely evolved healing class. I have done a lot of research on how to use my spells most efficiently, such as PoM and who to PoM, what fights to use it on, how to make the most of Prayer of Healing, when to Prayer vs. when to CoH, how to make Serendipity work best for me, and what to do with every GCD, etc. I also have a lot of experience with Disc and feel that I am a very effective tank healer as well. My weakest spec is Shadow with the least amount of experience in that talent tree.
Describe your gaming system. Your computer needs to be good enough to not cause problems raiding. Frame lag, ping, connection problems, not using a microphone + Ventrilo or crashing is not acceptable. (long answer): I have a pretty good gaming computer, I run consistently at 35-40 FPS during all fights (except hodir /shakes fist) but I have never found that my hardware affects my gaming ability or healing ability. I don't have connection problems however I live in Tampa, Florida so the occasional thunder storm has been known to cut my connection off once or so a month. I have a working microphone and regularly use Ventrilo.
Why are you worth being one of the 25 people in a raid? Please list anything else you'd like to mention about yourself that we might have missed. (long answer): I feel I would make a great contribution to your guild due to my skill, experience, willingness to learn, quick reaction time, and drive to be the best that I can be when it comes to playing my class. One of the questions I didn't see listed in your app was in regards to alts. I have also leveled and play regularly my 80 Mage Alt, and 80 DK Alts. I tank regularly on my DK in 25 Man Naxx, Sarth, and 10 Man Ulduar. My mage I have also done all raid content on (2/5 Tier 8.5) and feel I play this class very well also. I always however take priority in playing/raiding with my priest however my alts have been brought in for certain encounters because they are geared enough for all raid encounters currently in the game (my dk is the weakest gear-wise, don't know if I'd ever raid 25 man ulduar with him, yet.)
Can you handle criticism?: How can we contact you?: I handle criticism very well and am open to advice on how to play better.
