- Read This Before Applying

What is your raid experience?
-----I have been through all raids except EoE. I am experienced in ICC up to Saurfang. I have created my own raid guides so I understand all the fights in ICC, Uld, OS, Naxx, etc.

Why did you leave your previous (current) guild?
-----Haven't left yet, but I am leaving because I want to change servers in hopes that I can raid more. The current server (borean tundra) that I am on doesn't raid a whole lot or they are already in progress when i get on. Server is EST and I am PST.

Does anyone in our guild know you?
-----Doubt it since im not on this server.

How did you find out about our guild?
-----I was looking into servers that had a lot of high level guilds on it and yours seemed the most friendly.

How many alts do you have and is this your main?
-----I have one lvl 60 dk alt. This is my Main.

What are your play times?
-----I believe that this is a PST server and I am in Seattle. Mostly in the evenings and late night.

What of our raid times would you be able to make?
-----I am on here when I can be and would rather raid than do dailies and such. I will always raid if I am on.

Would you be willing to sit out if it is necessary without a fuss?
-----For sure. I am a team-player.

Have you spent proper time and money into your gear / enchants / gems?
-----Yes. I believe that I am spec'd properly and am maxed with EoT gear for both specs. I only need EoT for PvP gear.

Raiders are expected to bring consumables to raids. In the following categories what consumable would you bring and why?
- Flask/Elixirs: Stoneblood (tank), Endless Rage (dps)
- Well Fed: Fish Feast (ap, sp, stam)
- Potion: Healing Potions (health)

What is the (spell) hit your class needs to be viable in a raid?
-----If dps, 5k. This question is confusing.

What is your favorite boss fight and why? What boss haven't you fought that you're looking forward to the most?
-----Saurfang, because he really challenges the coordination and skill of the group. I am really looking forward to experiencing more in the ICC citadel. Only made it past Saurfang once.

What boss mod do you use?
-----DBM for sure. I have a Mac so I run all the appropriate raiding addons and then some.

What website do you use to read up on encounters proactively?
-----Tankspot, wowiki, stratfu, bosskillers, wowhead, etc.

Anything you want to tell us?
-----I am a total team player. I'm just not getting enough experience in ICC as I would like due to my server. If I am accepted, I will be switching to this server (which shows I am making a monetary investment also with acceptance to your guild). I listen to directions well, don't stand in fires (lol), and have no problem bowing out if it would benefit the raid. I also think that since this is a PST server (?) raid timing will work better for me. Currently, I get on around 4-6 PST and it is 7-9est on my server and most raids have started.

Your app is nice and you're old like us, thats perfect.

What is the (spell) hit your class needs to be viable in a raid?
-----If dps, 5k. This question is confusing.

The question is how much hit rating do you need to be capped or close to capped. Although it seems like you are WAY over cap in your dps gear.

Find some other dps trinkets. Other then that gear is fine. For a few hundred gold you could get the ulduar belt crafted, they are pretty nice and would own that belt you have right now.

greetings. thanks for the app. for the most part we are full on tanks for 25s, but can always use a tank for 10s or whatever else, and dps is always good as well if you like playing ret.

we are a pst server, we raid 25s tuesdays and thursdays 8-11pm server, and 10s throughout the week.

i don't know a lot about ret, but i suspect some of your gems and gear are a bit off. the question about hit was in reference to the hit cap, which for pallies is 263 (a bit more for prot for righteous defense if you don't have the glyph). you are currently way over the cap in your ret gear, and i think you might want to switch out one of your trinkets with something else if possible. also, you probably shouldn't be gemming for stam at all outside of the nightmare tear you have in your belt. someone else can probably give more useful advice on ret than i can.

otherwise everything looks good to me
