Person Information:
[IMG][/IMG]

Person Information
Gender: Male
Age: 17
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?: Unless something in real life comes up sure
Do you know anyone in TG who would vouch for your skill as a player? If so, who?: No I do not

What is you previous guild history and explain any reasons why you left them. (long answer):

I have been in Milk and Honey, Hell(now Void), and Timeless all from the server Lightning's Blade. I am currently in Milk and Honey, and I wish to leave because they do not progress through content at the rate I would like. I left Timeless because I did not like the atmosphere of the guild. Hell is sort of a long story. I was in Hell for a while, I liked the people in it and I loved the progression. We were 1 achievement away from the Black Proto Drake. That achievement was the dreaded Immortal. Week after week, someone would die and cost us the title and drake. Our GM was fed up with it, so one week he decided that if anyone died, they would be booted from the guild. One person died on grobbulus, so she was booted, but our GM kept the rule in effect. I received a graphical glitch due to my video card overheating(I fixed that problem don't worry), and died on Thaddius due to mismatch of charges. They did not want to let me go, but they did not want to cause any drama between them and the person they previously booted, so I voluntarily told them to boot me. A few members said I should try to rejoin, but I didn't attempt to. The GM offered to let me back in, but I declined his offer at the time because I was sick of Immortal at the point in the game. By the time I wanted to rejoin, they found a new Enhancement Shaman from their old server. I still am friendly with them, and run 10 man Ulduar with them and have gotten a Rusted Proto Drake with them.

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):

Well its sort of self explanatory why. You are the most progressed guild on your server. You guys are in general very well progressed no matter what server. You are a guild that I am looking for.

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 not played the end game content in Vanilla or BC.

In WotLK, I currently have downed 10/25 man Ulduar in their normal modes, and have cleared all the hard modes, excluding Algalon, on 10 man and received a Rusted Proto Drake. My current guild is not as well progressed and has only downed 4 Tower FL on 25 man for the hard modes.

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):

Rotation: For my rotation, I play the priority game. So here is the simplest way to put it:
5/5 Maelstrom LB > Stormstrike > Earth Shock > Lava Lash.
I always make sure I have the Stormstrike debuff on the target before using LB or ES, but because of the rotation, SS is always on the target for LB and ES. I also always make sure to keep Lightning Shield up and Magma Totem down unless I decide to use Fire Elemental Totem.

Gear/Gem Selection: I always make sure to choose gear that has the main stats of Agility, Stamina and Intellect. As far as the minor stats, I always have to make sure that I am hit capped and expertise capped, then I make sure I am at least at 30% crit chance, then I basically stack Attack Power. Haste rating I passively pick up with my gear, and Armor Pen isn't that bad to have, but other stats are preferred.

My guild stopped taking Parse reports, so I took one myself of a good amount of bosses in my 10 man group: http://www.wowmeteronline.com/combat/log/813432

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):

Specs: I have a 3.0 Dual Core Intel Processor, 3 GB of RAM, and a Nvidia 8800GT 512mb video card.

Connection: My connection does lack download speed, but it keeps a 150 latency, so latency doesn't pose a problem to me.

Ventrilo: I have Ventrilo with a working microphone.

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):

An enhancement shaman is ALWAYS great to have. I feel that I am a very good one. Buffing up dps with my buffs and my own dps will help greatly on every fight in Ulduar and the future.

Can you handle criticism?: Yes, I cannot improve without criticism
How can we contact you?: AIM: Shneybz

Sorry if it wasn't obvious but I am on the server Lightning's Blade so I would be a trasfer. It would be good if someone could change the thread title.

Contrive · 07-14-2009, 04:50 PM

Do you know Mirelle from Hell?
I used to raid with her on the Onyxia server in the guild Misery, along with her boyfriend. They transferred with the release of WoTLK to join Hell which was a bunch of people that used to be on Onyxia as well.

Attila · 07-14-2009, 04:55 PM

Just a couple questions.

You're 17 does that mean you'll have attendance problems when school starts back up?

You're a jewelcrafter but I don't see any dragon's eyes is your gear, why?

Shneybz · 07-14-2009, 05:44 PM

To the first question, yes I do know Mirelle and im very good friends with her, she and her boyfriend Jhanduin are 2 of the people I run with in my 10 man ulduar group :)

To the second question, No it shouldn't pose an issue

To the last question, I am so sorry I forgot to mention this but I JUST got JC up yesterday and I am in the process of getting the Dragon's Eye patterns I need. I should have those in there soon enough :).

Josua · 07-15-2009, 01:18 AM

Was looking at your WMO's, your numbers seem kind of low. Seems like you should have the major buffs covered, but feel free to enlighten me here.

As another question, you listed your priority system as:
5/5 Maelstrom LB > Stormstrike > Earth Shock > Lava Lash
If you're strict about this rotation, you'll be forever casting SS then ES (with maybe a LB in between) effectively putting your ES on an 8s CD. So my question is how do you deal with this? or do you not worry about it?

Edit: Almost forgot this; you're using 5/5 of the T8 set? Why not drop one piece for one of the off set pieces that are better than the set gear?

Shneybz · 07-15-2009, 01:37 AM

During that raid that is displayed on the WMO, I had some major lag due to a storm outside. Edit, a lot of the fights the paly forgot to give me Might as opposed to kings.

Forgot to mention:

5/5 Meal LB > ES while SS is up > SS

Sorry haha

and as for the 5/5 T8, I know this, only pieces that are better are hard mode pieces.

Josua · 07-15-2009, 02:36 AM

The shoulders from trash are actually better than the T8 shoulders. Not a huge upgrade though, but still something.

Yeah, it would be nice to see an Ignis or an XT log, but all in all, a solid app.

Assuming Totemlust continues to be MIA, I'd say worth an invite.

Shneybz · 07-15-2009, 08:20 AM

I should hopefully have an Ignus/XT log if we don't waste a lot of time on 4 tower. Maybe some hard mode XT attempts if my GM feels dangerous tonight
