Player information:
- Age & Location: 32, St Louis, MO
- Number of Testicles: A pair
- Do you use a blizzard authenticator? If not, why? Yes
- How long have you played WoW: 13 years. I have taken a couple breaks, but have played most of this time.
- Endgame experience (What bosses have you killed):
Everything in Cata and MoP on heroic.
WoD cleared through Blackrock foundry, then stopped raiding as HFC started.
7/7M Emerald Nightmare

- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving:
Cata:
The Feral Aggressors on Bronzebeard. We cleared all content at roughly the US200 level. This includes server first Deathwing and achieved [I Can't Hear You Over the Sound of How Awesome I Am].

MOP-Draenor:
I raided with Post Mortem on Kilrogg starting in ToT through the beginning of HFC when the guild decided to stop raiding. We consistently pushed US50-100 ranks and got server firsts. Achieved [I Thought He Was Supposed to Be Hard?].
https://www.wowprogress.com/guild/us/ki ... st+Mortem/

Legion:
I came back with Legion and raided with Transcended on Proudmoore. Unfortunately, during Emerald Nightmare progression, half the raid team was given 3 month bans for fish\honor botting. I wasn't banned, but due to the lack of raiders, the guild stopped raiding. We ended up 5/7M in Emerald Nightmare. I did end up doing some raiding to get 7/7M, but stopped my raiding at this point.


Character Information:
- Name & Class:
Doraaks, Resto/Balance

- Link to battle.net Armory:
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/chara ... on/Doraaks

- Main-spec, off-spec, and how often do you play your off-spec?
I play and gear resto and balance equally. My gear is currently setup for Resto, but can be easily swapped.
I occasionally tank when I need a fast queue or a quick M+.

- Explain your normal rotation and spell/ability priorities:
Balance:
Keep Sunfire/Moonfire on the target.
Cast Starsurge to spend Astral power.
Cast Lunar Strike/Wrath to spend Lunar/Solar Empowermenets.
Cast Wrath as filler if nothing else.

Resto:
Cast Efflorescence on a group of stacked people.
Lifebloom and Cenarion Ward on someone needing consistent healing
Wild Growth and Rejuv to handle raid damage.
Coordinate with other healers to spend healing CDs during big damage phases. Tree, Flourish, Tranq.

- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs (include stat priorities and breakpoints):
Resto:
No real breakpoints. Stat weights are Int > Haste, Crit, Vers > Mastery.
Most of the secondaries are close in value, with the exception of mastery. Mastery loses value, because resto is currently using the Autumn Leaves trait which encourages only leaving one HoT per person.

Balance:
I just sim my character with simulationcraft to find stat weights. Currently Haste > Crit > Vers > Mastery.
- Where do you do most of your research & testing to improve your character?
I use simulationcraft to setup my character's stats, rotation and talents. Reviewing logs from WarcraftLogs is another resource I use to tune my playstyle to each individual fight. Finally, reading guides and forums online can be a good resource to keep up to date on change.

- Why should we accept you over anyone else of your class/spec?
I have experience raiding, and know what's expected of me as a mythic raider. I take my role in a raid seriously, and will always try to improve.

Other Information:
- A Screenshot of your character's UI in a raid:


- Logs from warcraftlogs:
I apologize, as I don't have any recent logs. I've been out of raiding for a while, and just been PUG'ing so far in BfA. I do have some old logs from Legion: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/ ... e=detailed. I also have access to years of logs from my time in Post Mortem, but all of these are private. I could provide screenshots or access to these somehow if interested.

- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during mythic raid?
I custom built my own computer. i5 4690k, 8GB, Nvidia GTX 970, SSD

- Why Simple Math? How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math?
A friend of mine (Bellachanel) mentioned they were thinking about applying, so I looked up your guild. I saw the openings and decided to apply.

- Run a speed test and ping test targeting New York. Link the results below.
