Give us some information on your spec(s) and why you chose it/them (include info on why you chose specific talents which might be considered unusual): I decided to use arcance for single target dps and fire spec for AOE damage and it works well.

Notable Alts: I am currently leveling a Tauren Paladin Tank hes at level 67 at the moment, still working on him.

What are your current/past guilds and the reasons you left them? I left my last guild because the casual raiding stopped and i was getting fed up of the silence.

Why are you interested in joining Awesome Grats? I've heard many great things about the guild and this was my first and only choice to apply to.

Raiding experience (this can be any and all raiding experience you've had from release up to present): I have done every raid since the beginning and have been a raid leader myself.

Which days are you usually available to raid? I am available every evening of the week.

Do you use an authenticator with your battle.net account? (If not, say why) Yes

Other info about yourself: I am 22 years old, always enjoy a laugh and very easy to get along with. I am married but no kids, leaves more time for raiding

Thanks for your application. I would however suggest you go over it again and be more elaborate. In its current state there's too little information to give us any hint of your raiding skill, approach to the game etc.

A few pointers:
Include an armory link
Some thoughts about your class and spec
A WoL log if you have one
Elaborate on previous experience of relevant and challenging raid content
Guild history

Give your application another attempt, else we can but decline it.

Give us some information on your spec(s) and why you chose it/them (include info on why you chose specific talents which might be considered unusual): I read about my class on elitist jerks and it helped , now i am doing better than i used to. When i chose to be a mage i had no idea that i would end up pressing one button mostly for arcane lol, but if it gets max dps im not one to argue.

Notable Alts: I am leveling a Tauren paladin tank at level 67 at the moment i am hoping to turn him into a hardcore tank because i also enjoy tanking as its a differant aspect than being a mage.

What are your current/past guilds and the reasons you left them? I the wrath of the lich king i was in pwnstars, i left wow shortly before cataclysm and returned to wow in april this year. I joined a guild called bloodwovles a nice guild however it go very boring due no one wanted to chat and raids seemed to stop too. During my time the the guild i learned to play my class properly and learn what stats i should be focusing on.

Why are you interested in joining Awesome Grats? I heard good things about the guild and i cant think of a better guild to join.

Raiding experience (this can be any and all raiding experience you've had from release up to present):In the classic wow i raided molten core however neva made it to ragnaros. In the burning crusade i raided karazhan, i made it to the end many times and didnt get much loot due to bad luck. n the wrath of the lich king i raided the argent tournaments and ice crown citadel, made it to the lich king but never killed him unfortunately. Cataclysm i have done BoT many times and throne of four winds twice however i have only killed the last boss of BWD and shannox of the firelands, but i do know tatics for every boss in the game.

Which days are you usually available to raid? All evenings including weekends.

Do you use an authenticator with your battle.net account? (If not, say why) yes

Other info about yourself:
I live in the UK i am married no kids, but discussing with the wife at the moment, exciting stuff . I am a very friendly guy who enjoys a laugh and is not afraid to settle disagreements in a calm manner.

Some pointers:
Talents: Improved Counterspell is a pvp talent. Invocation is very situational. Remove those and get Burning Soul 3/3 instead.

Glyphs: Glyph of Mage Armor is preferable over Glyph of Arcane Barrage.

Gear: You are over hitcap, reforge some hit to haste/mastery. Get int enchant on bracers. You're a tailor and you don't have Lightweave embroidery on cloak and you could have used Masters spellthread instead of wasting a dreamcloth to enchant your own legs. You can get socket bonus on your legs without loosing any int. Having 2 on use trinkets equipped is not a very good idea, but you may not have any other trinket choices. You reforged to crit and hit, but without 4xT11, haste and mastery are better than crit.

Hi,

please post a link to the armory for gear check, also please post a link with your current talent build. (Arcane and Fire). Is easier to click a link than to search armory looking for you.

Thank you

[Ratboz]

I have made all the improvements suggested however cant afford int on bracers at the moment and heres my armory link

Hey,

Raiding experience (this can be any and all raiding experience you've had from release up to present): I have done every raid since the beginning and have been a raid leader myself.

Based on the other post you have made, I'd pretty much question the first part of your answer. Boosting through a dungeon when you outgeared and outleveled it, cannot be mentioned on the same page as if you've done it when it was the actual content.

Raiding guilds, such as ours usually look for an answer mentioning the experience when it was relevant.

This is just an advice for the future.

Good luck with your app!

[Ratboz]

You make a good point.

In classic i raided molten core
In the burning crusade i did karazhan and finished it about 3 times.
In wrath of the lich king i raided the argent tournaments and ice crown citidel, finished the tournaments and got to the lich king in ICC however missed the fight when he was killed.
In cataclysm i have done, throne of the four winds, BOT each done twice, for BWD i only have done the last boss and firelands, i have killed shannox but i do know tatics for all raids even tho i havent got the chance to fight all bosses yet.

I've merged all 3 topics. The reason this forum is locked to applicants in terms of editing their posts is we'd really like a degree of thought to go into applications.

You can't edit your job application after it's submitted... it's supposed to be good to begin with.

(also it's fun to preserve rageposts on the rare occasions we see them)
