Yup! Question: why mumble? why not vent?


Which of the following best describes your raiding goals? The rest of your application will be judged based on the answer to this question.
1. Raid whenever you have time in whatever group is most convenient
2. Raid consistently in a normal mode group and maybe some heroics
3. Dedicated to progressing through heroics at whatever rate the group is capable of
4. Hardcore heroic progression
5. None of the above, please explain:

I'd say 3.


What is your raid experience? Please list as much as you think is relevant.
Cata:
DS: 6/8
FL: 7/7 (2/7H)
BoT: 4/4 (1/5H)
BD: 6/6 (4/6H)

Why did you leave your previous (current) guild?
Murderous Intent was a 25m raiding guild and lots of people stopped playing and are only running 10man.
Unfortunately, most of them are RL friends so they usually invite them 1st, even if it's their alts, so no much spots left =\


Does anyone in our guild know you?
I don't think anyone in the guild knows me but I did pugs with Forged Alliance a couple of times.


How did you find out about our guild?
On destro's forums + trade chat.


How many alts do you have and is this your main?
Chief is my main and I got 5 alts worth mentionning:
- 85 Prot/Ret Paladin
- 85 Holy/Shadow Priest
- 85 Resto/Enhance Shaman
- 85 Arc/Fire Mage
- 85 Fury/Prot Warrior

They are almost all LFR/Valor geared for their primary spec (except the warrior, which is my newest 85).
Missing some enchants/gems here and there but since I got a 525 of each profession, this can be fixed quite easily
All my alts are currently in Fisticuffs, which is a leveling guild, so no problem bringing them over if needed.


What are your play times?
I usually play between 6 and 11 on weekdays and whenever I have time during the weekend.


Which of our raid times would you be able to make?
Either Second Grp (Tues/Thur) or Fourth Grp (Mon/Wed) would be the best for me.


Would you be willing to sit out if it is necessary without a fuss?
Sure, no problem. As long as I'm not *always* sitting


Have you spent proper time and money into your gear / enchants / gems?
Yup, I've used the best gems, enchants and gears I can get.
I'm using askmrrobot.com to make sure I've the got the best out of my gears/spec/playstyle.


Raiders are expected to use consumables during raids. In the following categories what consumable would you use and why?
- Flask/Elixirs: Flask of the Winds why? +200 agi!!!
- Well Fed: Seafood Magnifique Feast / Skewered Eeeeeel why? +90 agi!!!
- Potion: Potion of the Tol'vir why? +1200 agi!!!!!! (for 25sec lol)


If you are DPS, what is the (spell) hit your character needs to be viable in a raid?
Hunter uses physical hit cap, so +8%.


What is the basic gemming strategy for your character?
+40 agi unless socket bonus is worth it (usually 20+ agi).


What is the basic reforging strategy for your character?
8% Ranged Hit > Haste (20%) => Crit > Mastery = Haste (21%+)


What is your favorite boss fight and why? What boss haven't you fought that you're looking forward to the most?
Since I'm 6/8 in DS, I can't wait to kill deathwing!

And as for my favorite boss fight ... I think that as a DnD player, my first encounter with Onyxia was pretty epic!
Killing a "real" dragon for the 1st time (back in vanilla), that can one shot the raid (yay deep breath!), the whelps ... so hawt!
Rag 1.0, Rag 2.0 and LK are just behind as my favorites fights, mostly for their epicness.


What boss mod(s) do you use?
DBM

Anything else we missed or you want to tell us?
My hunter /played is ~183 days ... @_@!
I grinded Field Marshal on my Mage back in Vanilla ... @_@! Now I can't stand pvp hehe.

I like to farm old school raids/dungeons for mounts, rep and what not! I'm missing The Scales of the Sands if anyone is interessed

[Aezelkvalae]

Oh look a hunter who knows how to gem without chasing dumb socket bonuses. +1 for that alone.

[draven]

greetings, thanks for the app. everything looks good to me. g2 is generally full, so i can't guarantee a spot, but it might be nice to have a hunter. i dunno what the deal is with g4 these days.

Question: why mumble? why not vent?

mumble is better and it's free. we switched when our vent died and the admin was mia.

anywho, track someone down online and we can get you an invite.

[Benvolo]

A hunter would be nice for g4. Esp since you can bring a wind serpent or whatever for the 8% spell dam buff, which I think is the only raid buff that we are missing most nights.

[wwcnd2]

your hit is below cap, anything between 8.00-8.10 is acceptable to say the least. you could replace that greater mastery to greater agility to your hands as well. everything else looks fine .

[Crusher]

Looks perfect even reforging and enchants. Hunters can only get +20 agi to hands so 65 mastery prevails on that slot

[wwcnd2]

yaa i guess your right with the mastery but im sure this hunter is operative enough to hold his own with skill and yes we would like a hunter for g4.

Would you be willing to sit out if it is necessary without a fuss?
Sure, no problem. As long as I'm not *always* sitting :)

In group 4, our enhancement shaman is MIA which brings our roster down to nine members. Adding yourself and Anthony (prot warrior) would bring our roster to eleven spots which I would consider ideal (since just about every week, at least one person is missing). That being said, if all eleven people show up on a given night, we can sub out on a per-boss basis (e.g., if someone doesn't need loot off a particular boss). Another option is that if we bench someone on Wednesday night, that person can elect to go to the Group 1 Sunday normal mode 8/8 clear for that week. I was hoping that our eleventh member would be a healer so that I could DPS full-time, but it looks like my wish won't be granted >_<.
