Character Details

Tell us about your PVE experience? What have you raided?
I hit 70 on a retail server roughly a week before Wrath came out with a small 10-man guild. I leveled to 80 and did several amateur naxx runs, oftentimes pugging to get through the 25-man content. I found my way into BBB a month or so into ulduar and cleared all hard-modes save for mimi and yogg. Finished insanity in 10togc and got 4/5 in 25 togc. Since 3.3, I've killed Lich King in 10 man and have since killed hard-modes up to putricide. In 25, I've killed everything up to Lich King, which is gonna be focused down by BBB this raid week.

Friends/Family currently in HiJ(not required, just curious): Rb, Stein, can't think of any others

Prior guilds and reasons for leaving: (if you are a transfer please talk to us in game or via PM):
Faded- very casual, ran kara with em a few times and wanted to get more into raiding, they've since disbanded
Victis Honor- decent intro to an actual raiding atmosphere, though they weren't super talented and had internal dramaz, ultimately causing the guild to bifurcate.
Bed Bath and Beyond- through sheer luck i ended up in a zanrok-run vezax pug and got into the newly forming guild before a guild site existed, have been with them through uld,toc and icc up to now; several officers have left recently and i felt it was a good time for a change, though i'm sure they'll survive without me

Important Section

Why do you want to join us and what can you offer? Sell yourself to us. (This is especially important if you are undergeared)
I've been in the raiding game for quite some time and have gotten consistently lucky with the people I've gotten the opportunity to raid with. I wanted to see if I could be an endgame raider and I found a guild for it. When that was accomplished, I wanted to see if i could push myself into being worth the time of a real, dedicated raiding guild and I did so. Though BBB is full of awesome people, I wanna see how far i can take myself into endgame and i feel HiJ has recently presented me with that opportunity

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the worst, 10 being the best) How would you rate your ability to take, often times very harsh critisism? Do you take it and learn from it or are you a whining little bitch who will /gquit as soon as someone says anything in his general direction?
9- Zanrok's my current guild leader; if i was to cry every time i got yelled at i'd probably have committed suicide by now. The reason it's not a 10 is because there's always room for improvement. Always.

What is your role in raids and how does a good player excel at this role to be considered strong at their class?
Every time I saw a shaman app in BBB that didn't mention Heroism I called em out because it's a very obvious raid perk. Aside from that, enhancement shamen have the fascinating ability of providing competitive dps levels, support the raid with the proper totems in the proper places and times (such as a nature resist for putricide or an earthbind for saurfang's adds), and even throwing heals on surrounding players in emergency situations through the magic that is maelstrom.

Do you have a microphone and are you capable of talking on vent?
Yes und yes.

What is your ideal set of items (Please include items from patch 3.3)?
Head
Neck
Shoulder
Cloak
Chest
Bracers
Gloves
Belt
Leggings
Feet
Ring1
Ring2
Trinket1

Weapon
OH
Libram/Totem/Relic/ranged weapon

Post a WWS report / World of Logs / Wow Meter Online showing a recent raid (This is not optional, if you dont have a report your current guild is either too stupid or too shitty and we don't want you anyway): http://www.wowmeteronline.com//combat/log/1516166 ignore the last 2, lazy lazy sqoou

Let the rending of new orifices begin.

Note a Male Draenie. +1

Whats the reasoning on your cloak vs the 277 off gunship?

You're under expertise cap, any reason why?

No helm enchant?

I see you're in school, how will that effect your raiding? Will you be taking off soon as school is out?

Obviously this will depend on performance but will you expect to be in every 25man raid and bug the officers about getting in or will you be cool with sitting back for awhile with situational use and going to 10mans so we can see what you can do?

[Phyllisse]

- Ew, male draenei

- More of a personal choice, plenty of hit and exp off the marrowgar cloak ultimately means more gem slots for haste

- Expertise is fickle and everything I've ever read says its better to be 1 under and use that gem slot for a dps improvement than to use it to get 1 over cap

- Wow, my fail, upgraded it to sanctified last week and it apparently slipped my mind, it's been fixed

- School being out will pretty much give me more time than I have now, though I obviously won't be skipping any final exams to come raid

- I'd expect nothing less

[Phyllisse]

In light of events more recently than the posting of my app earlier today, I've decided to remain in BBB for the time being.

Sorry for wasting both your time and mine and best of luck to you.
