So, you want to join to raid I am assuming, if not and you just want to play with your RL friends then none of what I am going to say really matters. First, you didn't fill out all of your application.  As a raiding mage you didn't even try to guess at what the spell hit cap is for your class.  You just left it blank.  There is no stat in the game that will give you a larger dps increase on boss fights that hit.  You need to know what amount of hit you need all the time.  That means if there is a shadow priest or boomkin you need to know how that effects your hit needs, and adjust properly.  Second, if you want to raid, your spec is wrong.  We do bring arcane mages to raid, but those people also like to pvp a lot from what I can tell.  If you want to do real damage, spec properly.  Third, your gemming in your pants is questionable at best.  Penetration is the most useless thing in the game.  Its almost worse than no gem at all, since you probably spent money to get that gem.  Fourth, we have a lot of mages in the guild right now.  And as you have probably just seen, I can be quite a hard ass when it comes to mages.  It is the class I raid, and the only class I play. Fifth, when we asked about food consumables, we meant food buffs.  Mage table is obvious, we wanted to know what food buffs you will use.   Please fill out all of the app if you want to join to raid.  If you want to play with friends and not raid, then please disregard all of what I posted.
