Why did you leave your previous (current) guild?

Friends-only guild has 10 for their only DS10 raid, would like a regular weekly raid group instead of being a possible backup.

Does anyone in our guild know you?

My friend Danny, “Drizzay” recently joined.

How did you find out about our guild?

Drizzay, and trade spam.

How many alts do you have and is this your main?

Both characters are equally raidable.

What are your play times?

Mostly evening times. I can play late if needed.

Which of our raid times would you be able to make?

DS10 normal raid then progress to a DS Heroic raid. I am open to whatever raid time you propose.

Would you be willing to sit out if it is necessary without a fuss?

Yes

Have you spent proper time and money into your gear / enchants / gems?

Yes. All gear has been properly gemmed, enchanted, reforged for raiding. I have VP saved on both characters for necessary upgrades.

What is your favorite boss fight and why? What boss haven't you fought that you're looking forward to the most?

DBM, Omen, Recount, Decursive

Your paladin looks good. I find Eternal Glory to be useful to spec into though, as opposed to Pursuit of Justice (we're stacked most of the time in DS anyways) but I suppose it's not that big of a deal.

For the past 2 weeks we had to have our dps backup heal because we were missing a healer. I'm not exactly sure what the deal with that is but, there might be a potential spot and a holy paladin would be perfect. You're going to have to get confirmation for that though.

I don't know if you've spoken to Drizzay (I haven't spoken to him either), but I want to give you a heads up on the G4 raid composition.

Presently, we have 1 protection paladin, 1 holy paladin, 1 holy priest, and 1 disc/shadow priest. I would like to get another healer, though, so that I can be shadow for some missing raid buffs (replenishment, spell haste). If five people on the pally/priest/warlock token doesn't bother you (it doesn't bother me), then G4 may be for you. That, or you can bring your hunter and I can stick to healing.

The G1 group which goes on Sundays only does normal modes, but they are in need of players as well.

Lastly, I do plan on getting my roster to roughly twelve people. Trying to raid with exactly ten people on the roster leads to cancelled raids whenever someone has some real life emergency come up. You wouldn't be a backup, but we will have to rotate people from time to time whenever more than ten people show up.

In any case, I think things are in order, so message an officer for an invite.
