What is your raid experience? Please list as much as you think is relevant.
I have played my rogue through every raid instance in the game, I have taken several breaks due to boredom in game and also real life taking priority over game life.

Why did you leave your previous (current) guild? Momentum fell apart. The leadership most left the game.


Does anyone in our guild know you? I have been around a long time so its possible someone might remember me.


How did you find out about our guild? I was looking at the guild recruitment feature in game.


How many alts do you have and is this your main? This is my main I also have several alts, six to be specific.


What are your play times? I will be mostly available in the evening. I am two hours ahead of Destro time so that usually makes raiding easy for me.


Which of our raid times would you be able to make? As many as I can fit into my schedule.


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


Have you spent proper time and money into your gear / enchants / gems? Yes my gear is gemmed and enchanted with raiding in mind.


Raiders are expected to use consumables during raids. In the following categories what consumable would you use and why?
- Flask/Elixirs: Flask of the Wind
- Well Fed: Skewered Eel or Fortune Cookie
- Potion: Potion of Tol'vir


If you are DPS, what is the (spell) hit your character needs to be viable in a raid? 17% for poisons to not miss


What is the basic gemming strategy for your character? AGI/Haste/Mastery/Crit


What is the basic reforging strategy for your character? AGI/Haste/Mastery/Crit


What is your favorite boss fight and why? What boss haven't you fought that you're looking forward to the most? I like Ultraxion the most out of the current bosses. I have Heroic experience up through gunship. Heroic Madness looks interesting and I would like to see it before the end of the expansion.


What boss mod(s) do you use? DMB


What website(s) do you use to read up on encounters proactively? TankSpot

Anything else we missed or you want to tell us?
I am currently on summer vacation but I start a new teaching job in August. I am also expecting my first child sometime in December. I am going to be considerably busy but I also enjoy gaming and would like to have a guild where I can hop on and raid if I ever have time to do so. I believe that I am a skilled enough player to be an asset in any raid group. The amount of time I can commit to this game however will be questionable. From your description of your guild you seem to cater to semi hardcore-casual raiders. Thanks for the consideration.

Sincerely
V

We may have lost a rogue in g4 after he got his legendarys and may be 1-2 spots open otherwise, an officer will be with you shortly.

Greetings and thanks for the application. I'll let one of the guild rogues review the armory stuff.

Right now, the Wed+Mon Group 4 is in flux due to multiple events (people moving, starting school). It may take me a week or two to nail down the roster. The rogue presently in our group has already completed his legendary daggers. He may be changing over to his druid to tank since our tanking druid's school schedule is being sorted out.

If you are able to find another raid to join before I get things sorted out, go for it. I don't want to mistakenly state that I have a raid spot, then find out that I'm overstaffed. If you have any questions, let me know.

greetings, thanks for the app. everything looks good to me. as a long time rogue on the server, i definitely recognize the name. as inori said, there may or may not be a spot in the wednesday / monday group, but he may deny your app because you have more achievement points than him

also, as the server has been slowly dying and we've been getting more interest from member of the former upper tier guilds (momentum / crisis / big / etc.) and we've run in to a bit of a culture clash with some other people. when we say "dedicated to progressing through heroics at whatever rate the group is capable of", that's what we mean. we're not a hardcore guild and are generally pretty laid back. it sounds like that's what you're looking for, but i just wanted to make sure you're aware.

anyway, track someone down in game and we can get you an invite.

Rats, my number one cheevo spot! Based on new information, we do have a spot for your rogue in the Wed+Mon group. If you are still interested, track down an officer in-game for an invite.
