-----------------------------------
Character History
-----------------------------------
Previous Guilds: Lootship,Evolution Warlord(Raid disband 6/8 HC) Teen Seduce Metaphor(8.


Reason for Leaving: Had to move away with no reliable internet access for a few months. Evolution Warlord's, was with them for 2week's, before a problem within the guild caused a raid disband, so i had to leave in search for another guild.
Have not left yet Teen seduce Metaphor, they are not in any shape to progress next content, just some friends clearing content, i like dedicated progress, hence the apply.


When did you start this character and how long have you /played ? A few months into patch 4.3, 43days playtime on this mage.



What encounters and raids have you experienced in Cataclysm? Always 10man, Started guild raiding during Firelands, with only progress upto ragnaros Normal, Cleared BWD,BoT, and Tot4w on normal too with pugs, almost before 4.2 release. Upto 6/8 Heroic cleared on 4.3 with 15% nerf. Left for a short break, and cleared Dragon soul with around 20-25% nerf cant really remember.



What previous raid experience 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 85. 6/7 Firelands Heroic, few tries on ragnaros hardmode, not pass phase 3 though. BWD 5/6 Hardmode, at patch 4.3. Nefarian and sinestra a few dozen tries, havent been able to down them with pugs. Not really sure if it's important but cleared Baradin hold too.


What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid? :
Give a original answer here, saying to buff and dps/heal/tank isnt really worth mentioning . Mainly keeping my mouth shut when a raid is in progress is a huge responsibility i need to keep towards my guild, when the situation calls for it. Keep my punctuality in order not to ruin the fun, and waste the time of other guild members, because everyone has given up a share of their time for the guild, and being punctual is the least i can do. Spending some time myself on improving my aspect of gaming in order to make it easier for the group as a whole to clear content and enjoy farming it later into the patch. I feel it my responsibility to ask felow guild members with better knowledge of my class and aspects of gaming for advice, for my own improvement and the guild as a whole. There's no shame in not knowing, there is however, in not asking.



What is your Spell Rotation ?
Molten Armour always on during fire spec, Mage armour during Arcane, unless i need to regenerate some mana during fight's like madness of deathwing while im in Fire spec and im idle not dpsing, That's when i use mage armour. Arcane brilliance almost always present on every raid member, along with Focus magic on the focused caster, if available.
Fire:
In this current content, 10man usually called for a Fire spec for my class, with some situations calling for Arcane. During Fire specialised fights, i pre-pot at 3seconds of the dbm timer left to go, and start casting pyroblast, in order for a burst in my dps when the fight starts. I then throw in a Living bomb, pop My illusions, and my Fire orb, and start casting my filler fireball. As soon as my Dots, are alligned, consisting of my large ignite, Pyroblast and living bomb debuffs, i pop my Combustion for a increase in my dps. As i have critical mass already on the boss from my first pyroblast, i do not use much scorch to apply the debuff, unless i start moving or the debuff run's out due to bad RNG's which is not that common. Never really much downtime in Living bomb, and i try not to ever refresh it before the timer runs out. As i am a bloodelf, i constantly use my Arcane torrent because the GCD is not shared with my other spells, in order for me not to run out of mana in heavy mana useage encounters.
Arcane:
I start with Casting a few Arcane blasts in order to burn mana and push out some Damage, then i use my macro which uses my Mana gem and PoP's my Illusions at the same time, in order for higher dps output due to increased spell power, and the usage of both my mirror image and mana gem's with only 1 GCD wasted. I pop my Presence of mind, throw in a arcane blast, and then activate my Arcane power and burn my mana with arcane blast until around 30-40% of my mana pool is left, which i then throw out my Flame orb and start evocating. That's when i start presearving my mana, using my arcane power when it's off cooldown by casting arcane blast once or twice before breaking the debuff either by casting arcane barrage or Arcane missile's when they proc until around 30second's of my Evocation is left. That's when i start my burn rotation from the beggining. I never forget to use my mana shield to absorb damage, in order to increase my spell power for higher damage output. For example during Spine of Deathwing encounters, when i almost always play arcane, before the end of the cast of nuclear explosion , i throw on my mana shield for a absorb which grants me around 2k spell power for a few seconds, which is a real high dps increase.
I am still learning alot from this underestimated class, it is not at all faceroll as some people assume. No class is as far as i know, so i appreciate if anyone point's out if im missing anything or doing something wrong. I love critics which help me improve myself.

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

Age: 18

Country: I live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates originally from Iran.

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular? In need of a dedicated Guild to progress with in the future expansion, cerebral seem's like a promising opportunity, since you are in need of Ranged Dps.

Players you know / How did you come across us? Looking for a guild to apply to, and came by this one through wow-progress along with a few other cross realm guilds.

Alts and Level (if any): Deathknight 85, Druid 85, Shaman 85, Hunter 85, Warlock 81.

Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?: My main is guilded, Alt's nope.

Did you read our Rules & Policies? Read it before i started working on my application. I will start working towards my first aid right away, dont worry.


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)?: I can play 5-6day's a week possibly 7, as i work from home. I just need to know in advance when we can have a break, if there is any break, so i set my schedule around that. So my attendance will almost always be 100%, unless i get hit by a truck or something. Does not matter what time the raid is, i am certainly always available for raiding. Have been so for the past year.
(Members are required to be available for raiding at least 3/5 nights week with higher attendance prefered.) Raid days are Sun-Thur, 2000-2330 server time we do occasionaly 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.

Previous online gaming experience (if any): World of Warcraft, Dota, League of Legends, Diablo 3(not much) Counter strike, Runes of Magic.

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself: Well, nothing to brag about, just a person who enjoys raiding, for the cause of raiding. I love to wipe, as long as it leads to a good progress. If you need anything to be done, you can count on me. I can shutup when needed, give out my opinions if asked for, and always seek out to others, and different resources in order to improve myself for the better of the guild. I am willing to roll any class, any spec during the content. Just don't keep me away from my music too long, ill go mad. I promise, i wont stand in the fire!

Hello and thank's for applying to Cerebral.

Looking at your stat priority there are a few things I would change, for example you currently have 1990 haste which is way over the cap for another tick of Combustion under Time Warp, you want to reforge out of haste to be as close to 1505 as possible. The stat priority for a fire mage is as followed:

Int = Hit (1742) > Haste (1505) > Crit > Mastery > Haste

If you drop of some the extra haste you can pick up some more Crit & Mastery which are fundamentally better stats.

The only other thing is your spec, first of all put something in the empty glyph slots, whilst they are only utility glyphs some of them are helpful (Blast Wave, Arcane Brilliance - If you need to rebuff). Secondly most of the fights in Dragon Soul will benefit from 2 points in Pyromaniac (Yorsahj, Zon'ozz, Hagara, Warmaster, Madness) there really is no reason not to have it, take the points out of Improved Fire Blast as it really is useless as you shouldn't be using it for any other reason than to spread your DoTs so it doesn't really matter if it crits or not.

Also, you could have been unlucky with drops however you need to replace that Rathrak with the Lightning Rod ASAP because it really is a terrible weapon.

Other than that, GL with the app.

Hey and thanks for applying to Cerebral.

Everything seems fine now that you did what Ruskin said.

I believe it is now all up to Crabby.

GL
