Discuss your talents and tell us how long you have been this particular spec:
I am elemental and healing. I am above average in both. I was the "One to beat." in Is Malicious. In the guilds I ran with I was usually on top. My top performance was in Hodir when I did 10000 dps, after pulling off the tank during a flash freeze I had to get in melee range for. My best healing performance was 4k HPS and 20% overheals. I have less experience as a healer but it is where I started out. My guild needed me as a healer but my heart is in DPS. I had to switch to healing and my hunter became neglected. My shaman is now my main. I chose my spec myself, after inspecting the top elemental shaman on the server, I had to move two points around. Those two points made sense since they increased my dps. I don't know any secrets, I just remain focused and try not to mess up the rotation.

Ventrilo and do you have a mic:
Yes

Typical Weekly Playtime:
I can change my schedule to raid. Fridays don't work well since I play football. (Only for 3 weeks 5-7 if we make playoffs.)

Time Zone:
EST.

Previous Guilds:
Is Malicious. Imploded, is trying to get back together, but I don't know if I am going back.

Previous Raiding Experience:
All WoTLK instances so far minus 25 watchers and 25 ToC.

Why are you applying to us:
I believe that I have the potential to be the best. I am tired of not having that potential tapped (or exploited) to its fullest.

Link us your Armory:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...p;n=H%C3%A1rrow There you go.

Wow web stats reports:
Is Malicious did not run this.

Do you know anyone in guild? If so please list your pals.
None really, Nuadaa is probably the person I know the most but I don't think he would be able to tell you who I am.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
Someone who is tired of not being able to down things when I am pulling my own weight. I am driven, an honors student, a varsity football player, and just happen to play WoW in my free time.

Haha I was 110% on aggro, its just that the only place to stand happened to be underneath the boss. Innocence, I bet you know all about the threat drops shamans have (reincarnate). Which is what I did. And I am by no means a graknal wannabee, and I will not be called one.

Well it was a flash freeze I might add, and when you are going for hardmode Hodir, you can't really slow down, we had 5 seconds to spare and that was with my death and resultant reincarnation. Not to mention we did not have a paladin. I feel as if I have made a bad impression, either that or this is how all applicants are treated upon application.

Hmm, personality fit could be a concern. We play well and EXPECT to play well, but we also prefer to minimize drama, elite-ism, etc and your app sort of suggests you're an elitist prima donna, which wouldn't be a fit. Its entirely possible you're not, but that's kinda how you've portrayed yourself.

As for how we treat others, have you read the other recruiting threads to get a feel for how we treat applicants? There have been quite a few just in the last week or so (for reasons you can probably guess). If not, then you haven't done a very good job of doing your homework.

I have read several other of your applications. I actually had to get a walkthrough on your site from Nuadaa as it was new to me. :) I am not a prima donna. I believe it takes everyone pulling their weight. It seems to me that one person can't do it alone. I'm sure you all feel the same way. I think I just got off on the wrong foot, the only person that knows me in Heresiarch is Forte and he is a pretty good guy. I hope he doesn't get the same vibe off of me as you do.

I talked to forte, he seemed to think you have a ego like the rest of us do, given your application's tone.

you do come off like a shit eating dickhead, but I'd be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

we can be pretty rude to new applicants, i'm generally not one of them that is a cunt to new applicants, but when i saw your app it just screamed graknal to me, I raided with the guy for six months and that was a year ago and if I had to do it again it would still be to soon.

we have three raiding elemental shaman atm so geting a spot might be tough,

It's not necessarily that i'd turn you down completely on basis of your attitude and personality because i'm always willing to give some one a chance to prove they're a nice person(i'm a dumb bitch when it comes to second chances, I give them to every one, even people who don't necessarily deserve them)

I am not an officer, but I think we may be full of elemental shaman right now. With Resto shaman wanting our gear now more than ever, and having 3 already, the split is kind of steep. Thanks for your interest at least. In the future, using a little humbleness in your app might make the difference(Again, not as a deciding factor here, but just a general tip on interpersonal interaction)

I'm tired.

So I'm being blunt.

How many elemental shaman do we need? Pretty sure we have 2 active, and 1 semi not so active.

I tend to agree on the attitude part; to me it seems more confident than arrogant. Whether he actually performs as well as he talks is another matter. The armory link doesn't seem to work and I'm too drunk to make sense of it atm, so someone else go nuts.

His gear is not that bad,
He has seen all content (minus hard modes) that we have.
He hasnt completed ToC 25 man, or Ulduar 25 but has completed them both on 10 man.

His spec is good, but his major glyph choices are interesting and I wouldn't mind hearing the theory behind them.

I also have to agree with sobe, I haven't talked to him so I know nothing outside this thread he doesn't come off as much more than confident, maybe I am missing something.

But I cannot say wether we need another elemental shaman either.
I'm not dumb, I just choose not to be smart at the moment.

Seems like he thinks Crit is more important than haste, he seems to have an aweful lot of crit and a slim amount of haste. Glyph of flame tongue would also support this theory. Itemization wise, haste is much more important than crit, haste is second only to spell power(Or hit rating if you are under cap)

he's also got 400-450 hit rating(I checked last night and he had like 407, and this morning he had like 453) which is way to god damn much hit rating, at that point you want to start taking items with spirit and mp5 that -dont- have hit rating(haste instead would be preferable but even more crit would be better than all that hit, so long as he doesn't sacrifice to much spell power in the switch)

Forte informed me he's a skilled player, his gear checks out, his raiding philosophy checks out. his experiance checks out.

I'd be eager to see more proof of his ability, but he's got my check, Ultimately up to the officers if we need another elemental shaman or not. I do not think we do, but if he helps us raid 4 nights a week with 25 poeple, then more them merrier.

Yeah the hit is a bit of an issue, I have picked up many pieces that are filled with hit, I have just been trying to pick up as many pieces as I can and then rotate them around as needed to reach the hit cap. I really wanted to get a trophy before I spent the emblems, but it appears I have no choice in the matter. I will pick the upgrade with the least amount of hit rating on it and then see what I can do from there. I may even have to look at equipping an old piece of SP Haste Crit gear.

I doubt that's going to be what keeps you from getting into the guild so I wouldn't inconvenience yourself too much. If anything it's the number of shaman/casters. But I'd also bet good money a couple of the new recruits end up flaking out / not performing up to par, so who knows what'll happen in the future.
