Discuss your talents and tell us how long you have been this particular spec:
My talent tree is 7/57/7, and it's been so for probably around a month or two.
In BM I took improved aspect of the hawk to increase my attack speed, therefor increasing my DPS, no brainer. I also took Focused Fire so I do 2% more damage while my pet is alive, which is 90% of the time. Another no brainer.
In the survival tree I took Survival instincts to beef up my crit between Wyvern and Aimed shot cooldowns and improved tracking for a tasty 5% damage increase.
My points in marksman are fairly cookie cutter- Aside from 2 points in focused aim because my Hit chance is a bit low (It should be 1 point now but I haven't respecced yet). When I do get those points back, they'll be going into imp barrage, imp steady shot, or possible rapid killing for a reduced CD on rapid fire which not only increases my attack speed but give me enough mana to keep me out of viper for a while.
Ventrilo and do you have a mic:
Yes
Typical Weekly Playtime:
I generally play from 2 realm time to 10-10:30 realm time on weekdays, and all hours on Fridays and Saturdays. I can stretch to meet raid times beginning to end.
Time Zone:
Newfoundland time, just take EST and add an hour and a half.
Previous Guilds:
I've been with Gated Community for the longest time, and I was mainly Guildless before that.
Previous Raiding Experience:
I've raided Naxx 10 and 25, OS 10 and 25, VoA 10 and 25, Ulduar 10 to the keepers (including some hard modes) and 25 to Kologarn, completed ToC 10 and have not had the chance to try 25, and Ony 10 and 25 completed as well. I'm generally the leader of my raids and therefor have to know all the fights we may possibly have to do so I can beat the knowledge into the heads of people who refuse to use Youtube to learn not to stand in the hot burning stuff.
Why are you applying to us:
I'm applying because you guys raid a lot, I've raided with you a bit and you seem like a good bunch, and because a bunch of my friends from Gated Community are moving over to your guild so if I want to raid it looks like you guys are the place to be.
Link us your Armory:

Wow web stats reports:
See page 2 for a meter.
Do you know anyone in guild? If so please list your pals.
To be honest I don't know a lot of you, I know Metalican, Vickdabeast (who just applied, but worth noting I know him), Aif (Said he's joining, also worth noting), and I've raided with a few of you before but I can't remember your names.
Tell us a bit about yourself:
I'm linguistic. I'm 16 and I spend way too much time on this game. I lead raids and can't stand when people do stupid things like stand in front of onyxia or don't move with a gravity bomb on XT. I've been told I'm mean but that's mainly by people who've gotten on my nerves for being an idiot. I like raiding and want to do more of it.
Well, there you have it.

change glyph of steady shot to kill shot, unless blizz fixed it to work with marked for death as MM. Glyph of hunter's mark is a decet choice, but not sure how many hunters you raid with but 3+ is worth having it, if you decide to switch it out, take something like chimera shot. About your mm spec itself, trueshot aura is a fairly useless talent, since you can get the same buff from enhance shamans and blood dks. So drop that and put into silencing shot (non gcd shot) which is about 100 dps increase. If you are / are goingto be raiding with 2 hunters(you+ someone else) drop 3 points out of imp hunters mark and put 2 in Rapid killing (more mana regen, more cds), and one into Imp. Barrage. The one extra point you have in focused aim can always be put into either Imp. Steady Shot or to finish off Imp. Barrage. The gems in your gear are fairly good, and likewise with your enchants.

Ling BTW word of advice u dont Put people down Nor Say u get mad at idiots on a application... seriously
Would you rather me lie and say I like wiping? Well I don't. I get tiffed when people continuously repeat the same error. And if I'm going to apply to a guild, they should know that instead of being surprised later.

Apropos of nothing, its worth noting that different applications, as you might guess, show different potential strengths and weaknesses. One person might be perceived as having a lack of class knowledge as an area in need of testing, while another might be more a risk from a "fit" standpoint, personality-wise. "They might know what they're doing, but is their skin thick enough/can they survive repeated hard wipes on tough progression content to fit in" for example, and thus applications from similarly geared players of similar spec might be handled completely differently depending how we perceive them.
If you look back over other applications, you might notice that different people within Heresiarch have different areas of interest and/or expertise. For example, I have no substantive input to provide on whether a lock knows what they're doing when it comes to specing, but I can productively test someone's abilities when it comes to ret/prot pallies. However, other folks have different... areas of expertise, shall we say, in checking whether a new app will mesh well.
This isn't to say we're chess masters, carefully crafting every post in an intricate psychological test (or Saw-like test, depending on how things go). It just kinda happens on its own, but after you read a few dozen of these threads, the response pattern becomes surprisingly consistent.

I'm not mad over what he's said. I'm confused.
But what you're saying about wiping on progression is the exact opposite of what I'm describing.
Of course people wipe on progression, that's what makes it all the more rewarding one you finally see that boss die. What annoys me is when people continuously fail on farmed content because of a simple error. And no matter what you type here, I know all of you have that same feeling when one person does something wrong (25 man thaddius pugging is a prime example) and it ends up wiping the raid. Over and over.

so your looking to get ran through for gear?
The whole point of bringing people to raids is to progress into them, by wiping.

If you get mad about people making the same error continuously, really you must have never raided before. Also arguing with people in trade/general chat doesn't make your application seem all that more appealing, when sometimes you are in fact arguing with members of Heresiarch over mindless shit.

I was kiting 3 allies and a tank in a secluded part of WG when Linguistic rolls up in a demo. They turned, killed him, and he proceded to bitch at me for the next 20 minutes in general chat. Then, put me on ignore while still talking shit in general. I'd never witnessed such nerdraging over something so minute.

If your looking for a guild that is full 5/5 togc or is going to get there without wiping you better get a hell of a lot better knowledge for your class before you do so.

I've only ever died on gormok by standing in fire once, and that was my fault. The only other times I've died is when a tank dies or if I have a spaced out moment and pull agro. In all those occasions I admit my fault.
And how does me disliking when people make repetitive errors make me not a raider? If I know the group I have can do something, it's irritating to see people wiping the group over and over again. Admittedly this rarely happens when everyone is in vent so it only comes up when I'm forced to pug, thus the reason to join a raiding guild because everyone is there for the same reason and has the same goals as you do.
EDIT: Vrex I seem to recall you saying stuff along the lines of "it doesn't matter anyway we lose all the time", so I'm not the only guilty party here. I admit I shouldn't have flipped out there, that was an error of judgement on my part.

I and everyone else in WG were saying we lose most of the time, because we DO lose most of the time. I just said "lol u mad?" a lot.
Edit: And after we won you still were saying you didn't want bad people like me for VoA and made fun of my gear score in my PvP gear (/wrist) lul
