- Endgame experience (What bosses have you killed): Vanilla - Little to no raid Experience.
I completed all 5 and 10 man content when it was current on the server Aerie Peak, but I did not actually complete any raids as I only started playing a couple months before BC released.
Burning Crusade - Somewhat extensive Raid Experience.
I completed all of the raid content including Black Temple on the server Akama, however I then took a break from the game and ended up missing Sunwell and ZA.
Wrath of the Lich King - Somewhat extensive Raid Experience.
I completed Naxx 10 and 25 Malygos 10 and 25 and OS 10 and 25 as well as OS 10 with 2 Drakes and OS 25 with 3 when they were current content on the server Akama. Before 3.1 came out I took a break from WoW again which lasted until late June 2010, at which point I leveled a hunter, warlock, and druid from scratch on the server Arthas. I then completed 12/12 Heroic ICC in a 10 man group which I helped to lead on my hunter within a month and a half of hitting 80. After getting my Bane title I applied to a 25 man guild that was 5/12 heroic 25 and 11/12 heroic 10 whom I helped to get 11/12 heroic 25. They then fell apart on H Lk 25 progression and I switched to another guild that was 11/12 Heroic along with several dps and 3 healers from my last guild where we downed H LK 25 2 weeks later.
Cataclysm - Extensive Raid Experience in the one Tier so far.
I hit 85 just three weeks ago, and have already downed 1/13 in Heroic as well as getting somewhat geared(Ilvl 356). The majority of these bosses were progression for the guilds I did them with.
Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Woodÿ, Warlock. I plan to use the name Deamia when I transfer if I am accepted to your guild.
- Race & why did you choose it: Orc. I originally chose to play an orc for the 15% stun reduction because I planned to pvp. However, the orc racials which benefit pve (i.e. Blood Fury and Command) make orc the best race for pve oriented warlocks as well.
- Link to Battle.net Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/k ... %BF/simple
- Can you describe the ruckus? Unfortunately, I can not without looking them up, which would defeat the purpose of the question, and would accomplish nothing as it would probably be blatantly obvious that I am just re-posting what I found on google.
- Professions and why did you choose them: Engineering and Tailoring. I chose these professions because they provide the highest possible pve bonus currently.
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? Destruction/Demonology. I actively switch between all three warlock specs, and I am proficient with all of them. However due to the new patch yesterday, I will probably not use affliction very often anymore.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs: I always prioritize intellect over all other stats for both of my specs. When it comes to secondary stats, I prioritize gear with both haste and hit on it over any other gear as hit is the best secondary stat for all specs, and haste is my best stat as destro and demo until I can reach the next haste threshold at 2589 rating after which I would sim myself, and if crit was showing a higher scale factor then haste at that point I could easily reforge any excess haste from additional hit/haste gear into crit. To sum it up, my stat priority is as follows: Int > Hit(to 17%) > Haste (at least until 2589 rating) > crit > mastery > stamina (I do consider this to be a dps increase in any situation where it prevents me from dieing, which although this is rare it has happened)
- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why: Destro - (Prime) Imp, Immolate, Conflagrate (Major) Shadowflame, Fear, Soul Link. Demo - (Prime) Meta, Immolate, Incinerate (Major) Soul Link, Shadowflame, Shadow Bolt.
- If you are applying as a DPS, what is your normal rotation?
-Curse of Elements (If I am responsible for providing the 8% magic debuff)
-Soul Fire (If the Improved Soulfire buff is not up or to make sure that it doesn't fall off)
-Immolate
-Conflagrate (However, I tend to throw up Bane of Doom in the approximately .5 second window between immolate appearing on the target and conflagrate becoming available to cast due to latency.
-Bane of Doom
-Corruption
-Shadowflame (If It will hit multiple targets, and i am already in melee range)
-Soul Fire (everytime empowered imp procs)
-Shadowflame (If I am in melee range of the boss)
-Chaos Bolt
-Shadowburn(Sub 20%)
-Incinerate
- If you are applying as a healer, what spells do you use & when/why? N/A
- Highest PvP Rank on this character (vanilla & arena titles): None on this character.
- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving: Cataclysm Guilds:
Stage Clear. I left stage clear after helping them to progress from 5/12 to 11/12 in 10 man over 2 weeks starting about 2 days after I hit 85. My reason for leaving was that their guild was falling apart. The night before I left we had been scheduled to do Nefarian progression, but right after getting to the instance we suddenly had their main tank and his brother who was a healer rage quit and leave the guild. Apparently there had been some underlying issue between them and a couple of other members since before I had joined which I was unaware of.
Perpetual Motion. I only joined Perpetual Motion about a week ago and I helped them to progress on Heroic Halfus
and down him the night after I joined. However, since that night the guild seems to be stagnating and even degressing, with many of their raiders not showing up for progression or showing up hours late and their other warlock who had been their top dps before I joined and would have competed with me suddenly quit the game. So I am looking a more reliable guild to progress with.

- WWS/Wowmeter/Worldoflogs reports (not optional):
HC Halfus Wyrmbreaker 25 - http://worldoflogs.com/reports/wb0idsvr ... 50&e=10672
I know that 58k is somewhat low for this fight as a demo lock, however given that my guild requested that I refrain from using hellfire to aoe the imps, so the majority of my dps was all single target as Demo, and my total aoe dmg done to the whelps is less then 2% of my damage, as well as the fact that I still parsed in the top 200 for Demonology specced warlocks on the fight I don't believe that I did poorly.
Twilight Ascendant Council 25 - http://worldoflogs.com/reports/uu2bhmmr ... 934&e=6271

Magmaw 25 - http://worldoflogs.com/reports/uu2bhmmr ... 240&e=9514
I only pulled 27k dps here, but that is mainly because we did not aoe the adds in between the exposed head phases which would have increased my dps on the boss through Bane of Havoc.
Atramedes 25 - http://worldoflogs.com/reports/9ffrzwju ... 368&e=3766

Omnotron Defense System 25 - http://worldoflogs.com/reports/uu2bhmmr ... 91&e=10881
I could have done a bit more dps here as affliction, but my offspec is always Demonology in case it is needed for the raid and I didn't get a chance to respec beforehand.

Baradin Hold 10 - http://worldoflogs.com/reports/9g57alsy ... =623&e=814
I was missing several buffs including 10% spell power. P.S. the rogue only beat me in damage due to ignoring fight mechanics and standing in the firestorm to continue dpsing while I had to stop casting to avoid it (Check the logs of damage he took). He also didn't actually beat my dps only my damage by 3k at the last second.
- Alts & their name/level: I have far too many alts and previous mains to list them all, so I will just list the alt I play currently. Advént Fury Warrior on Kil'jaeden.
- How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math?: Grouch left a reply to my post that i was looking for a guild on the forums.
- Why Simple Math? Is there anything else you'd like to tell us?
I am looking for a competitive and progressive guild with a stable raid environment, as well as a good and active community of players who work well together to better their guild both in and out of raids. And from what I have seen so far your guild looks like a good choice.
-Why should you choose me for your raid spot over another warlock?
I realize that this is not one of the questions on your application; however, I believe that it is relevant.
I am very competitive and always strive to play my class to its maximum potential while also having fun. I come to every raid prepared with all consumables and having researched every progression encounter we may possibly attempt that night fully. I will usually spend several hours finding out everything I can about an encounter and coming up with possible strategies I believe could be used to down the encounter. For example, about two and a half week ago now I was in a small 10 man guild having just hit 85 a few days before, and had been helping them progress through several encounters. Upon reaching the Cho'gall encounter they hit a wall as it seemed our raid simply didn't have enough dps to beat his enrage timer. However, after a short break I was able to come up with a new more streamlined strat, then the one we had been using off of tankspot, which reduced the the amount of movement significantly as well as cleaning up the chaos during add phases. Using my strategy we were able to defeat Cho'gall after only two attempts. I am always looking to improve myself though, so I will always admit when I make a mistake and I welcome criticism, especially if it will help me to play my class more proficiently or become a better player overall. . I also realize that some people will inevitably be better geared than I am, and perhaps they will have more impressive achievements as well. However, I will always be that guy you can count on. i will be waiting outside the raid zone fully prepared and ready to give my 110% for every raid. I only ask that I be given a fair chance to compete for a raid spot. And if it turns out that another warlock is more competent or is a better fit for your raid, then I will accept that.
- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during a 25-man raid? Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 250 Processor (2 CPUs), 3.2 GHz
Memory: 5096MB Ram
Graphics: GeForce GTS 250
The game plays very smoothly for me, and with my graphics set to ultra I will ussually get around 30-45 fps while in a raid encounter.
- What kind of internet connection do you have? Run an internet speed test against New York at speedtest.net Link the results below.
My internet connection is very smooth for the most part, I get between 70-150 ms on average, other then the occasional dc. But my disconnects are usually due to outside interference not my internet connection failing.
- Finally, we ask that you draw us a picture using MS Paint. (This is not optional).
I am currently unable to do this as for some reason I can't find paint on my computer >.<
It should be there but when I looked its as if it was deleted or something.
However I was able to find this image which hopefully will suffice. ;P
P.S. Sorry for the images size, when I uploaded it, it only gave me the code for the thumbnail or as a direct link.
If you click on it you should be able to see the original size.
