What are your professions and why have you chosen them?: Blacksmith and Alchemy. Originally this was an alt so I just had them because this was the toon i raised up and i needed those proffessions. I like them because it provides 100 STR from blacksmithing (With epic gems) and the normal 80 STR from alchemy. The 4 hour cauldron flask is nice too.

Explain your typical combat rotation used during a boss encounter.: I've tried two differnat rotations recent. They depend on how I reforge.

If I am reforged into Haste, my single target rotation is Apply disease > Oblit > Rime proc >FS (runic power dump) [Roughly]

If I am reforged into Mastery, my single target rotation becomes Apply diseases > HB > FS, Oblit if 2 UH runes are up and I get a autocrit oblit ideally... its a little more complicated but the general jist of it is I HB a lot more instead of spamming oblits. EJ says it proves to be higher dps if the rotation is followed correctly. I am practicing/toying with this but havent decided if I like it better or not yet.

General Information

We raid a "flexible" raid schedule(See Guild Info). What times do you play and can you make all raid days?: Generally I sleep from about 6am server time until about 4pm server time. Best time for raids tends to be 8pm server time or later. I stay up much later then most people since I kind of sleep a graveyard schedule. I can change my sleeping habits if needed.

What are the previous guilds you have been in? Would they vouch for you as a player?: I've been in the following guilds in order from when I joined the game in WoTLK until now.

<Fight or Flight> My guild I made and ran for half a year or more.
<Teriyaki> Merged with my guild
<Stoneblood> Teriyaki 2.0 after CATA
<Valiant> T11 SB was very low progression so I switched
<Potent Potables> Had a close friend who really wanted me to help this guild out
<Stoneblood> I took a 2 month break from WoW, and came back PP was 10man so I went back to SB

SB would vouch for me, I'm not sure about valiant/PP because I wasn't raiding with them for too long. I'm a good player so I definitely think they would.

What are you reasons for leaving your current guild?: I have a friend that may be leaving, there has been recent drama in the guild, I am tired of raid leading and holding peoples hands in raid. Several things adding up to me deciding I should consider other options. Hence why I am here.

What is your relevant raiding experience?: Currently I am...

T11- 12/12 reg 1/13 HM
T12- 7/7 reg 2/7 HM
T13- 8/8 reg

Where do you go to learn more about your class? If you test for yourself, talk about how you do so: I read up on MMO Post forums, as well as Elitist Jerks. I also sometimes google and look on other random websites to cross referance, see if any of them suggest differant things. Once I have read enough I then test it by reforging/gemming/gearing in the manner of how I read and then running raids such as T11/T12, and I've used LFR very often to test my dps in a raid environment. I've ran it over 15 times in the 8 weeks it's been out, simply to test my dps.

Do you have a microphone to talk with? Are you able to use it when raid situations call for it?: I have a microphone, I can talk. I also have a headset and will not cause any re verb etc.

Please provide a screenshot of your UI and explain any addons or keybindings you use: I am very unfamiliar with how to link UI pictures. However I use the default raid UI, as well as Recount, DBM, Omen, GTFO, CLC dk and/or TellMeWhen, Auctionhouse/mailbox/chat addons, and epgp. Key bindings are set up thru the blizzard options menu and basically take up the majority of the left half of my letter keys as well as my F1-F12 buttons.

Provide a link to a combat log parse that best demonstrates how you perform in a raid:

Guild Information

What do you know about Terrible?: I've ran with some of you in pugs and I've been impressed with some of your members raid awareness and skill.

Why do you feel that Terrible is the guild for you?: I don't feel that at the moment. I feel that I would be a great asset to you, and I feel like it would be a good guild. I feel that there are better guilds out there, but I feel that yours has potential to be one of those better guilds. I am willing to push progression with you and work hard to become the guild that I think it could be.

Is there anyone in the guild that would vouch for you?: I'm not sure how well known I am. I own several characters all ending in the name "strike" and I pug 3 or so 10-mans each weekend. As well as some BH here and there.

Any other information you feel is important?: I'm not looking to be carried, I don't need to be. I will pull my weight. I am a strong raider, I have experience raid leading... so I understand most of the fights, at least on reg, well enough to lead 25 other people who still need to be told "Push heroic will now" in order to down a boss. I am not yet 100% sure that I am leaving stoneblood but I am PRETTY sure I will be. As of this point in time this guild is my first choice... with exception of maybe Valiant.

I applied to Faded but was rejected because of the low amount of heroic experience I have had in the past.

I don't like Khaos, several people in there have rubbed me the wrong way.

So more likely then not I will be looking at Terrible, or Valiant as possible guilds to move to, otherwise I will just stay in Stoneblood or server transfer.

Very solid app, If you do decide to leave Stoneblood look me up for a ginvite and we will get things rolling

I am very interested in your guild.

Pretty much my one tie to this guild is Rollo, if he proceeds with leaving I am definately going to. If he decides to stay that may cause me to stick around... I want to leave lol, but he's like my one tie to this guild that matters to me if that makes any sense at all. Raided with him for over 2 years now and if theres anything that keeps me in stone blood it would be him.

Like I said this is my first choice guild atm, haven't apped to valiant or anything at all yet. I hate to be wishey washey and say "I may or may not" but thats kinda where i'm at atm and its the best answer i can give you atm.

I am a bit concerned because the last two applications i saw are DK's and both seem to be accepted. I looked their WOL up and wasn't too impressed. Are you just really hurting for numbers right now? How would those two DK's effect my ability to raid if i did decide to come over? Just a few questions that don't really matter unless I do end up coming over. I guess you could wait to answer them if you wanted until I decide for sure. Your call =]

We've had people all going on breaks and such, and just real life in general affecting them to raid. So lately we have needed 1-2 bodies to fill a raid, but the best will raid in the guild, thats how we have always went around things, same as the best get gear, just how things roll in this guild.

But I wish you the best in your decision, and about your buddy staying or leaving makes perfect sense, the core of this guild has been together for awhile, and the reason we still play the game, and or come back too the game from time to time.

When those apps were accepted we were hurting for bodies. They never xferred over nor is their application still valid. At this point in our search for players we are just trying to cut the fat and get the best players that are available to us so we can start to kill Heroic bosses in 25 man.

I see you mentioned Rollo and from looking at logs I see that its a rogue. We currently only have 1 raiding rogue and have been searching for another for awhile now. So we would welcome any application from any rogue.

So I guess our guild leader talked Rollo into staying... ill be honest and say part of me really wants to leave but if Rollo is staying then most likely I am too... I guess I should apologize for wasting your time reading and responding to my application. I really appreciate it though.

I will let him know that you did offer him a spot too but he's kind of in the same boat as me. Friendships kind of are keeping us all in this guild more then anything.

I want to raid with Rollo now! He sounds awesome.. later guys.
