Which guilds have you previously been in and why did you leave? No offensive comments please.
Been playing wow pretty much since launch, been in many guilds, In TBC Was in Foul mouth and Filthy, which was a friend / social guild, Kara and Gruul level, In Wrath I joined Blackadder, we did naxx 10/25 - Uld all the way till Yoggy then hit a brick wall. Did toc 10 and ICC 10. Left coz I want to experience 25 man content and to do hard modes which we were unable to do in BA.

Tell us about your previous raid experience-include whether this experience is on the Toon you are applying on.: See above

Tell us about the real you.
Ok , well I've been playing this crazy game for a long time now and I'd like to say I'm casual but I guess 8-16 hour play time per day would surgest its more than a hobby. I'm a very laid back kind of player, I dont tend to get stressed out by wipes ect.. but I also like to play with people that know the game and have a similar outlook to me.
What are you going to bring to the guild? Well I'm a enhancement shammy so I guess you could say we are the best melee buff class in the game, we bring: Unleashed Rage (an on-crit proc for 10% additional melee AP), Strength of Earth ( +178 STR/AGI), and Windfury (20% Melee Haste). Personally I'll bring a semi drunk English man with a sense of humour and a lot of gold for repair

Why did you pick us over any of the other guilds on the server? What do you expect from Prepared?
I liked the over 18+ policy and I heard good things about the guild from the usual server chit chat.

What's going to happen the first time you don't get picked for a raid?
I'll ticket a GM to have the guild banned and form a posse to kill you all.

Tell us about your spec. Why did you pick it, would you change it?
My spec is 16/55/00 which is the old school enhancement spec, the modern spec tends to put 2 more points
in improved Fire Nova totem, to take advantage of the new fire nova spell and glyph, I'd avoided going to this at the moment as its a aoe advantage and very mana heavy, but my gear is now probably at a level where I'll move to it and try its raid dps.

Do you know anyone in Prepared who would be able to vouch for you both as a player and as a person? ( Yes I know THANUS, I've know this crazy monkey for 3 years and he's a great person and player.

Bonus Question 1: 1. What are your ambitions in WotLK and WoW in general?
To see some of the end game content but have fun while doing it.

Bonus Question 2: 2. What would you do if we stopped raiding for 2 weeks?
Read a book

Bonus Question 3: 3. The Simpsons or Family Guy?
Simpsons till about 2000 then family guy, you cant beat those old episodes of Simpsons.

Yes, I have read and accepted Prepared guild rules.

Not big up on enhancement shammys, personally never enjoyed playing the spec, but I do know about your off spec
Spec wise, ive been playing around recently and this is one of the 2 raid specs that are viable. The other is to drop elemental weapons and pick up healing way.
Glyphs, however are not what I would personally go for
-glyph of lesser healing wave, in a raid environment this is only useful if you heal the MT, and shammys are generally better healing the raid because of CH.
-Glyph of water mastery-is mana a problem?
I would personally get glyph of CH and glyph of riptide is also quite nice to have. Anyway, that is just my nick picking

Anyway your main spec... did you log out in some resto gear last night? (legs) or is this a bug on the armoury?

Also, could you explain to me your gemming choices? Why have you gemmed in the way that you have chosen?

Spec however looks like a pretty normal, bog standard enhancement spec so no complaints there

Good luck with the app.

Hi John

Clicker or Keybinder?

And what's the reason behind your choice?

Edit: Oh yeah; welcome to the forums, good luck with the app.

Hey John and welcome to the forums!!! Gief enha shammy :>

Now i have some questions about your spec and gear, but i already see that you are planning on trying the new fire nova spec and i suggest that you do as as it's better even for single target dps compared to the one you currently have, as well as on trash the bonus is huuuge <3, and don't worry because with a retri pally in a raid you will never have to worry about mana..not even without one. Then i see you have a mix of gems some AP and some haste, which do you consider to be better at moment and why?

I would also suggest to try and change some of your purple gems as just socketing 40 ap/20 haste is better than the 6/8 Ap bonus that you get from you blue socket slots.

Also are you using any addons/software or forums when picking new gear or just as you think it's better?

GL, Reckon

i hate to say this but he is a very good healer/dps, also good player mwaa mwaa mwaaaa

Welcome john,

Nice to see an enhancement shammy application, i dont know much about shammys but your gemming and enchants seem fairly fine to me.

Application seems ok just your exp in ulduar/totc/ICC , are you a quick learner and can you read up on boss fights old and new?

Best of luck anyway,,

Craig.

Hi John

Usual question from me, we raid 4 nights per week [wed/thu/sun/mon] - how many of these do you realistically expect to be able to attend each week, please be honest

I do and for me it's an issue. Otherwise I wouldn't ask.

I know I'm a stickler for this one on these recruitment boards, so here goes.

What is wrong with the official application form?

These are very simple, clear, and obvious instructions.

Wow, so many questions, I'll try and answer them all.
Took on board your advise on my Resto spec and made some glyph changes, was using resto mainly to get quick HC runs for farming badges. As for my gear strangeness, that’s the item rack glitch where it won’t swap items if you already have 3 dragons’ eyes active in your current gear set. I've logged out with my full Enhancment set on now. http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Nordrassil&n=Kargan

Gemming: Gemmed for Haste/AP as there my best dps stats, had a few Stam/AP which I’ve replaced, they where they for added survivability in pug raids. Also changed to the Fire Nova Spec and my dps has increased, thanks for the tip Rekon.
Keybind or click? I click, and as for raid days I’d be happy to raiding 2-3 days 4 might be a push as I have some work commitments over the next month or so and I tend to work later on Thursdays.
Add-ons, I use DBM/Recount/Omen/Healbot/ShockandAwe I check my gear on MaxDPS.com and try and keep up to date with my class at ElitistJerks

Hope that covers all of it.

Sorry for taking so long John. Just trying to tweak a few things in guild to make this role fit better in the long run. I'll get back to you by Sunday evening, if not before then.

Nps, thanks for keeping me updated.

Try and find me tomorrow between
7-8pm or after midnight realm time.
