General Questions

Tell us a little of your history in WoW.:

I've been playing WoW since open beta, and started as Horde on Gorg at release. I wasn't super active during vanilla, as the guild I started with was actually a planetside outfit that was branching out. As I stopped playing that game I became more active during TBC and started raiding. I joined Kill Order shortly after and was with them until the guild fell apart from burnout/inactivity at the end of WOTLK. I switch to alliance with Epidemic for a brief stint at the start of cataclysm but stopped playing shortly after we had finished Blackwing Descent normal. I have been a DPS warrior almost all of this time, with some occasional stints tanking and off/tanking. During my time with Kill Order I was our melee group officer (melee primarily meaning plate DPS as we never had consistent rogues). I'm really not looking to raid, as I just don't have the time, but want an active guild. This app would also be for my wife's characters on alliance. Her toon is Sango.

How do you feel about the state of your class in the game?:

Honestly, I'm not really happy with warriors right now because prot has the most active playstyle and has the potential to out dps both arms and fury, which just doesn't feel right. I really, really miss the old fury playstyle, especially compared to the recent changes for WoD.

What led you to our guild and what would you like to accomplish with us?:

Honestly it's one of very few active guilds on Gorg and I'd like to stay with this server. While Downfall never had a rep for cutting edge progress, from what I've know it's always been good people.

Which days are you available for organized guild events? (Raids, RBGs, etc):

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Upload UI:

Which addons do you consider essential and why?:

My UI is a hot mess right now and I haven't really played with it since I came back. I would definitely say recount is essential at least for raiding to get a better idea of what is happening when working on a new fight or trying to progress. Previously I would have said Elkano's buff bars but that doesn't seem necessary anymore. Outside of that just bartender for customization.

What do you like in particular about the UI you are currently using?:

Nothing....... it's mostly default, I need to spend time on it.

PvE

Raid Experience:

All TBC and WOTLK, tier 1 raids in Cata.

What are your most and least favorite boss encounters?:

Favorite encounter.... probably Yogg 0. There was just so much going on in that fight that you had to pay attention to.

Least favorite..... I wasn't a big fan of any of trial of the crusader really except Anub'arak.

Personal

Is English your first language?:

ues

What timezone are you in?:

PST

Tell us a little about yourself.:

I have 2 kids and a beautiful wife, that's pretty much what takes up the majority of my time outside of work.
