He's set up to be hit-capped without a shadow priest, not sure if he's not used to raiding with one. All he'd have to do is take the points out of suppression and he'd be fine.

I'd be a bit concerned about the lack of experience. Only killed FL/XT in Ulduar, (3x/2x respectively), 0 Malygos kills, 0 KT kills (hasn't cleared Military wing?), 5 Sarth 0D kills. Also only Friendly with Hodir. Just going over the reps in general shows some oddities (neutral with SSO, friendly with Scryer) - unless this is an alt I'm guessing Mediani started playing in Wotlk.

A couple of other red flags:

I generally raid as Destruction is because I get substantially higher dps than as my Affliction spec

I'm hoping that Blizz ups its dps to compare to that of Destro

Affliction is plenty competitive with Destro; I know some high-end locks that actually swap to Affliction for certain boss fights (hai2u Yogg). Usually a drastic gap is from a lack of familiarity or skill; they've made Affliction easier but it's still harder to play than Destro. If it's just a lack of practice it's easy enough to correct. If it's because a player can't maintain multiple dots and hit more buttons in the correct sequence, I worry if the person has the situational awareness not to stand in green clouds even if they're playing the easier spec.

I use Incinerate because according to Wowhead that gives better dps

Following EJ as gospel is one thing, but Wowhead?

Of course, just because someone lacks experience doesn't mean they don't have the potential to be a good player (everyone starts somewhere).

Good responses.

One of the reasons why I wanted to apply to this guild is because it seems that experience doesn't matter quite as much as it does with other guilds and I was hoping to find a guild that I could learn in, instead of having to know everything. I am willing to research the fights but that isn't quite as good a method of learning as being taught by someone who knows them well.

The willingness to learn is great, just have to find a balance between doing things on your own and being taught. People are usually given an opportunity to learn and get better (you're not going to get kicked for standing in one fire) but you can't expect to have your hand held either. For example, Yogg has still eluded Heresiarch so far so if I were apping I'd make sure I read the strats and watched the videos to be prepared. If an app mentioned that it would leave a strong impression. The thing that hurts you a bit is that there are currently 3 raiding locks so it may be tough to find a raid slot (not including my lock, which doesn't really count).

According to EJ Affliction can't compete against destro except when the doomguard is out and in t8 gear. And I do know that some fights like Hodir and Yogg are better to do as affliction [...] But that doesn't merit using Affliction when Destro outperforms it by a very decent amount during the 30 minutes that you don't have the doomguard out.

I don't think it's fair to say it "can't compete," but everyone has their different definitions. To me if 2 different specs are within a couple of hundred DPS of each other, that's a pretty good job of balancing from Blizz. Even something like a 500 DPS difference is a drop in the bucket when people in T8 pull +8k on no-gimmick fights. Of course if you're min-maxxing as much as possible that's a significant difference, but if you're that hardcore there's a good chance you switch back and forth between Aff/Destro per fight anyway.

As for the Sons of Hodir rep I don't especially enjoy grinding rep and the WG shoulder enchant is only missing out on 1 spell power and a little crit from the Sons of Hodir one. I would be willing to grind the rep if asked though.

It's one of those things that can reflect how much effort you put into your character. You only have to do it once for the entire expansion and if you hate grinding, relics are pretty cheap nowadays.

without having hunters playing Peggle during a boss fight.

Aww shit, thats what the shamans do here

[Wrathblood]

But are they any good at Peggle?

Honestly, now that Bullzor is gone, we've kinda lost our spiritual Peggle leader. Who's willing to step up to the plate?

Shiiiit, am I the only one who plays?! Down time I'm always on it... >.>

I used to play a lot, but after clearing everything it kinda lost its luster. Just playing to improve my best scores hasn't proven very engrossing.

Mybrute, however, never gets old. You should all go to http://wrathblood.mybrute.com/ and create characters!
