What is your raid experience? Please list as much as you think is relevant.
I used to raid with a horde guild in flex, some 10 man, I used to tank so I know some of the earlier bosses pretty well, looking to get into dps

Why did you leave your previous (current) guild?
I quit wow 6 months ago then came back, instead of horde I went to alliance for a change

How did you find out about our guild?
ad in SW

Does anyone in our guild know you?
not that I know of

How many alts do you have and is this your main?
this is my main, i have a 90 druid, priest, lock, pally, all horde (Except hunter)

What are your play times?
Weekdays usually 8pm EST and so on, weekends I can play all day

Which of our raid times would you be able to make?
any, just as long as it doesn't interfere with school, (ends at 2:15pm EST)

Would you be willing to sit out if it is necessary without a fuss?
sure, I don't claim to be an expert and if anyone is better suited for a fight, by all means switch me out.

What website(s) do you use to research your character(s)?
wow armory

Have you spent a sufficient amount of time and gold on your gear, gems, and enchants?
sufficient, but not a huge amount of time

7.5%

What is the basic gemming strategy for your character?
I typically reference sites like noxxic, icy veins, or askmrrobot for advice on gemming

What is the basic reforging strategy for your character?
7.5% hit, 7.5% expertise, agility>crit>haste>mastery

What is your favorite boss fight and why? What boss haven't you fought that you're looking forward to the most?
Nazgrim, not sure why I just like it, I haven't fought Garrosh past LFR so looking forward to doing it some time in the future

DBM

What website(s) do you use to proactively research raid encounters?
icy veins

Is there anything else you want to tell us?
I know I am not 21+ but you can expect complete maturity from me, I am a pretty geeky guy and I spent a lot of time building my pc and messing with components, definitely an introvert and not your typical annoying teenager. I am also not a wow expert despite playing for about a year and a half, I am willing to learn and take constructive criticism from experience players in order to improve the way I play.

Are there any ways that we can improve the application process?

greetings, thanks for the app! you do not quite meet the requirements for the raider rank, but it looks like you're still gearing up. we can invite you as a casual raider for now and you may request a promotion to raider when your character is ready. a few comments:

What are your play times?

we are mostly west coast peoples, which means you should be aware that our raids generally start at 11pm eastern and end around 2am eastern in case that is an issue.

Raiders are expected to use consumables during raids. In the following categories what consumable would you use and why?
- Flask/Elixirs: buff for bosses
- Well Fed: buff for bosses
- Potion: taking damage? not sure

the correct answers for these are the agility related consumables:
flask: flask of spring blossoms
food: sea mist rice noodles or pandaren treasure noodle soup
potions: virmen's bite, and it is handy to have some master healing potions just in case.
flasks and food are generally provided for you, potions are not.

my standard disclaimer to youngins these days (or anyone for that matter) is that we expect our members to behave in a mature and respectful manner, but as long as you are capable of doing so it shouldn't be an issue.

i think that's it, track someone down online and we can get you an invite

Thanks a bunch Draven! I am on as of now and probably will be until very late today, so any time you could send me a guild invite would be nice! thanks!
