What is your raid experience? Please list as much as you think is relevant.
Been doing raids since original wow. MC through AQ. In BC I used a feral druid and progressed up through Hyjal. In LK only did Nax and part of Uld was mainly focused on pvp at the time on a DK. Didn't find the CATA expansion very fun so I deactivated after a couple months. In Mists i've done all the Raids but they were from the raid finder. The guilds I've been in can't ever seem to get a group together to even try progression.

Why did you leave your previous (current) guild?
They don't do anything. They set up raid times and not a single person even comes online at the required time.

Does anyone in our guild know you?
Don't think so

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

Usually after work from 630 till 1130 M-TH. I also play on Sunday.

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

Yea sure.

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

What is the basic reforging strategy for your character?
I went for +hit because I was lacking a bit

Anything else we missed or you want to tell us?

greetings, thanks for the app! i don't know much about mages, but everything looks pretty good to me. it looks like your hit is still a bit low, but i don't know how much of an issue that is, although i ran your character through mr. robot and it suggested getting closer to 15%.

this is a good answer for bosses like blade lord ta'yak where towards the end there may not be a healer around or they may be overwhelmed, but you should also have and use potions of the jade serpent since dps is generally a bigger issue than healing.

our tuesday / thursday group is generally full, but sometimes there is a spot. we're also trying to get a second group going fridays and / or sundays if that would work for you. anywho, track someone down online and we can get you an invite.
