Hey, it looks like you might be in your pvp gear on armory so talk to an officer in game in your pve gear or log out w/ it on so someone can evaluate, thanks.

I am also going to assume you are in pvp gear, since your armory is frost spec right now. However the 40hit gem, and things like that make me sad if this is (at least partly) your pve gear.

Ah well yes I was at the time doing quests and such (from faction changing) and being on a pvp server again I figured it would be best to do so in my pvp gear/spec. Gear wise I am still working on replacing 3 pieces (hands, feet, and wrists) from pvp to pve. Made harder by the fact that I have no guild with which to do heroics, the fact that I am DPS, and going to college full time. Little time in which to play the game makes it even harder.

Anyway I have logged off in my PvE gear and spec this time so hopefully armory will show that. As for the hit gems in my PvE gear those are there to make up for the lack of hit provided by the three remaining PvP pieces im trying yo replace.

hmm... benvolo may be the new crusher of dreams.
anywho, you should generally reforge to meet the hit cap and gem int for the most part.

I'm glad Benvolo has picked up the reins. I just don't get the same jollies I used to from being mean on the internet. ANYWAY per our raid guidelines you're not that far off. All your 346 gear needs to be enchanted and you should also have all your mage stuff taken care of (hit cap, reforging, spec, etc.). You can join the guild now as a Member if you wish and then when you meet the Raider qualifications you can ask someone to verify and then be promoted to raider and start getting raid invites.

Yeah, your gear really isn't that bad, I probably made it sound worse than it is. All that is really wrong is just some gemming things, but that is an easy fix. Spec looks good, and you seem to be a normal person, so I approve of this app :) idk if you are in the guild or not yet, heh, if not i can send you an invite for member.
