Describe what you think you would bring to our guild if accepted. (raiding and social aspects)
Generally - an unsettlingly disturbing drive to progress ever onward.
A mature player of both age and mindset - I dont mind wiping, as it is an integral part of learning new encounters and i dont make issues of being sit out or not getting items.
Outside raids, i tend to employ goofy or downright weird humor, which seems just the right amount of random without breaching into "inappropriate".

Inside raiding time, i tend to keep to myself and mostly listen, breaking silence when I believe I may provide some insight regarding the particular encounter we face.

Character History
-----------------------------------
Previous Guilds and Reason for Leaving:

Vanilla + TBC – Server: Neptulon guild SIN – never left until i had to quit the game for university
Cata – Server Neptulon, guild Work in Progress. Server went dead - Dragon soul wasnt to be up in 2 more months, so I paused WoW to focus on both my Masters degree and job.
MoP – Twisting Nether, Rising Sun (social guild) , as I joined very late and most people were taking a break before WoD, was mostly a casual experience
WoD – Twisting Nether, Perfectly Sane – guild officially stopped raiding 16 days ago

When did you start this character and how long have you /played?
50 days on this character, but that’s not entirely accurate, since this is my third warrior overall

What encounters and raids have you experienced in the past, Pre-Patch MoP, After 6.0 etc? HC / Mythic
Post WoD release, I fully cleared Normal, Heroic and went 6/7M before BRF was released. In the one week of BRF that i still had a guild to raid with, I went 10/10/N, 9/10 HC.

What previous raid experience (Vanilla, TBC, WoLK, Cata, MoP) 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: Cleared all up to C’Thun.
TBC: Cleared all Up to and including TK
WOTLK: Skipped entirely as i was accepted into University and wanted to focus on studies.
Cata: Everything up to and including HC ragnaros with server second guild.
MoP: After I finished my Masters, I decided to roll my first hordie. With 4 months left to WoD and most guilds worth their salt sitting on 14/14 I had a hard time gearing and raiding, but I managed to pug myself to 3/14M. Stopped playing 1 month short of WoD release, as there wasnt any point in playing MoP anymore.

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
First and foremost - coming prepared. That entails full consumables, as well as prior knowledge with the encounter Im about to face.
Prioritizing the following actions in a descending order:
Avoid raid-wide damage mechanics > Personal survival > DPS
I have a few tools to protect the raid with - Vigilance (which i also have tied with a macro for both tanks) and Rallying cry, which I hold onto until raid leader calls for a defensive Raid cd, but will use If I deem the situation dire.

What is your Spell Rotation/Priority?
Rotation and priority, well, I use Gnome Sequencer to devise my own rotations, and have them used in a priority system. In lieu of complete rotation description, Ill post one of my GS macroes. This is the template Fury sequence from which i design the others (naturally, i also have Arms ones)

Sequences["Fury"] = {
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/cast [combat] Berserker Rage
/cast charge
]],
"/cast [combat]Bloodbath",
"/cast Bloodthirst",
"/cast Raging Blow",
"/cast !execute",
"/cast Wild Strike",
"/cast storm bolt",
PostMacro = [[
/startattack
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

PLEASE NOTE: While the combination listed above is viable, it is only used as template and not recommended.
What GS does is cycle through the abilities you opted to assign to it, in order from top to bottom, and use the ones currently ready to go. However, there is a limitation that it wont skip the ones that are unavailable, thus you have to press the button again, so it will go to the next ability in line.

Putting too many abilities on it will takes a long time to cycle through them all, thus resulting in loss of globals.
The ones i actually employ contain 4 abilities at most, whose main purpose is to prioritize procs in the course of normal rotation.

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

I enchant and gem with Crit, because as stat choices, well, Fury warrior is all about the Allfather Master Stat Crit - that much is no secret to anyone. It has an intense synergy with our mastery, which is an 8-second increase to any damage done, and must be kept up constantly to maximize its usefulness. Its uptime is heavily dependent on bloodthirst critical strikes, with a singular use of berserker rage to serve as backup (once every 30 sec).
Upon reaching ~30% crit, a warrior's stat priorities shift to favor mastery and multistrike instead.

Provide a relevant Warcraft 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. Ofc with a new tier it's harder to get accurate logs but do use Normal / Hc to your advantage.

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular?
Following my guild disband, some 16 days ago, I started looking for a horde guild and your wowprog page says you are accepting warriors.
Your raiding schedule lines in perfectly with what im comfortable with and i can see you are better than most other guilds who are ranked higher, simply because they killed imperator. You are on top of current content, and i like that.

Players you know / How did you find us?
WoWprogress + talked to one of your officers

Did you read our Rules & Policies?
Yes, I did.

What days can you play and what hours during those days (Please let us know now so no confusion is caused if you were to be accepted)?:
(Members are required to be available for raiding at least 3/4 nights week with higher attendance preferred.) Raid days are Wed Thurs Sun Mon. 2000-0000 server time we do occasionally stay later if we are close to a kill. Fri & Sat are off nights but if people are online we try to do alt runs or RBG's.

3pm to 3am ST during weekdays, No limit on weekends.

Previous online gaming experience (if any):
Does diamond V in LoL count?

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:
Im 25 years old, i hold a bachelor degree in economics and a masters in programming. I live in a port town, which is fortunate since i love going to the beach, which is conveniently located 1 kilometer away from my home. Other games include the majority of Bethesda and Bioware games (think skyrim/dragon age/mass effect) which I enjoy modding heavily.

I dont play wow to be one of the millions who casually log in, walk about do instances check their mail, do their dailies and lfr/arena when bored. I have plenty of Single player games to do that in. I play online games to stand out - to be noticeable. I play competitive games so i can show that i am better than the casual, average or above average player. I aim to be the cream of the crop, so I have something to show for my time spent.
