Describe what you think you would bring to our guild if accepted. (raiding and social aspects)

I would bring a stable raider with quite some expirience in raiding. I think im a pretty fast learner which should prove useful during progress. I am also very talkative and I like to hang out with people before or after raids in voice comms, maybe do old content or some PvP.

-----------------------------------
Character History
-----------------------------------
Previous Guilds:
Dogma - Magtheridon->Sunstrider
Operation Eskimo - Magtheridon -> Sunstrider
Perfect Cut - Kazzak

Reason for Leaving:
Dogma
I left because of some internal arguments with a certain player. I later rejoined the guild and helped them with heroic progress during ICC. Then the guild disbanded.

Operation Eskimo
Joined them for Lich king HC kill, raided with them in cataclysm and we were quite succesful. We got stuck on Valiona and Theralion HC (or however those twin dragons were called) because we couldnt seem to find good rogue recruits and the GM decided to pull the plug on the guild. They restarted the guild in firelands and DS and i was invited to rejoin the raiding team but I already transfered away.

Perfect Cut
Was a founding member in that guild, we were doing quite great actually. It is there where i met Meccero, who we recruited to raid with us. We disbanded because we had a few rotten eggs that stopped showing up for raids after they got a few items and we could not find a proper replacement for them.

After this I quit WoW and i just recently came back.

When did you start this character and how long have you /played?
I started this character somewhere in august of 2013 to play with my friends. It was a reroll project as we wanted to play Horde instead of Alliance.
It has 31 days and some odd hours played.

What encounters and raids have you experienced in Mists of Pandaria? Please state if it was on 10man or 25man and was it normal or heroic

10man
We cleared MSV and a few bosses in HoF but then i had to take a break due to some issues IRL.
I came back on my alliance char at the end of ToT patch and cleared it on normal and heroic (albeit I did not progress in it, it was on farm in the guild i was in)
SoO 14/14 normal and 4/14 HC, before we had to disband the guild and I quit.

What previous raid experience (Vanilla, TBC, WoLK, Cata) do you have on this char? Please only mention stuff you did at the time when it was a current raid, we dont need to know you can clear black temple when you are level 90.

Vanilla
I was pretty much a casual back then. I was mostly pvping and very rarely interested in PvE.
TBC
Cleared everything but Sunwell (took a break as the patch came)
Wotlk
Cleared everything on hardmodes/HC while it was current content.
Cata
Cleared everything on HC while current progress (except we did kill spine and deathwing with the % nerfs tho)

What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid? :
Give a original answer here, saying to buff and dps/heal/tank isn't really worth mentioning

If i am assigned to a certain task then I need to execute that properly. I can also help with gateways for mobility of raid members. Also my demonic circle can be proven useful on quite a few fights (Sha of pride as an example, as i can insta free people from prison without actually having to run there). Overall solid play and not doing mistakes is what i think my main responsibilities are.

What is your Spell Rotation/Priority ?

I am using this opener:

prepot
precast incinerate
cooldowns
conflagrate 2x
immolate
incinerate 4x so i can get 2 embers
chaos bolt (once or twice, depending on the fight)
refresh immolate while having all buffs up

then just continue with normal rotation which is incinerate as filler, keeping immolate up with maximum possible buffs, using chaosbolt if i have more than 3 and a half embers or when my trinkets/buffs proc. Conflagrate on cd. I also try to avoid using CB with my backdraft, altough i did read that with a buff to CB, I am able to use it with backdraft without affecting my DPS much.

Why have you chosen to reforge, gem and enchant the way you have? Give a brief description on why particular stats are good for your class/spec.

I am currently running the following priority on stats (not gonna include intellect):

Mastery > haste > crit

Now even tho haste and crit are close to equal in terms of dps gain and such, ive tried both and have had better results in putting haste over crit.

I try to maximize my mastery wherever I can and then i reforge the crit into either haste or hit, depending on what I need (assuming i cant reforge it to mastery). Id say the biggest upgrade I could get at the moment is Immersus trinket, which hasnt dropped for me in any of my SoO clears, so i still dont have it.

Also Post a UI Screen Shot (this is so we know how you see what's around you)

http://shrani.si/f/1n/nT/2Az4p2yJ/wowscrnshot051814015119.jpg

I would like to say this is not my ideal UI. I will be tweaking it or actually remaking it as a whole. But since i just recently reinstalled WoW, i havent had the chance to make it as id like it to be.

Provide a relevant World of Logs report from your past guild/raid. Not being able to provide this can be detrimental to your application. If you do not have any relevant logs, please run an LFR and log that, we are not looking at your damage, more so your buff up-times etc.

Did a quick normal run today for the logs. Tried finding a heroic raid but I didnt have any luck with getting an invite. To add, the raid didnt have spell haste so the numbers are a little off. Hope these logs will be enough, otherwise I can try to find more raids.

This is from p4 SoO flex run.

General Information
-----------------------------------

Age:
25, will turn 26 this year

Country:
I am originally from Croatia but i live in Slovenia at the moment.

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular?
Because I took an interest in raiding again, and firestarter told me you are recruiting warlocks and are a great bunch of people. Wanted to give it a try.

Players you know / How did you come across us?
Ive know Firestarter irl for a while know. Id say we are very good friends.
I recently saw Meccero was in your guild (I did not know what happened with him after Perfect Cut disbanded). Im glad to have spoken with him again and he told me he is enjoying his time in your guild and that I should try to apply.

Alts and Level (if any):
Moonwater lvl 90
others are all sub lvl 50
I do have some alliance lvl 90's on Defias brotherhood.

Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?:
Currently they are all in Perfect Cut, I dont mind joining them to your guild if I get accepted.

Did you read our Rules & Policies?

Yes

What days can you play and what hours during those days:
I can raid on all of the days listed. I do visit university classes tho, so sometimes I will be 30 minutes (or less, depending on traffic) late if the raid will start at 20:00. I can give you the dates of my late classes in advance, so you know exactly when ill be late. Other than that, there should be no problems.

Previous online gaming experience (if any):
I played Counter Strike 1.6 semi professionally.
I also played some League of legends, but was never really good at it (hovering between gold-plat league)
I am currently investing quite a bit of my time into playing Hearthstone, i was also quite happy to see ur organizing a tournament for it. Even if I do not get accepted to the guild as a raider, I would love to take part in that tournament Smile

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:

Just wanted to add that the main account i was raiding on throughout the years is no longer in my possesion because to quit the game at that time, i had to get it banned. The account I have Achelon on now, is "fresh".

Other than that I have nothing else to say but thanks for considering my application and I hope you like it.

Cheers,
Achelon
