General Questions

Tell us a little of your history in WoW.:

Been around off and on since Wrath. I raided a bit in wrath and Mop and had core 10man groups but sadly my first 10man core fell apart and I tried to put it back together. We raided about a month longer with me as raid leader until the rest of them finally left due to the gchat drama they caused each other. Second 10man in MoP I had to step down because I could no longer make raid times with my job promotion. I've enjoyed both PvP and raiding throughout my wow time.

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

I feel my class is very strong right now but they've kind of always been strong. I use Icy-veins as my outline guide, personal experience as a bonus and dps meters to see where my dps stands against others of my class to see what else I may be able to do to better my gaming. I believe in myself to be good at my class.(Lot of hate for dks being faceroll though. :( )

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

My friend led me to your guild. Arraben a Holy/Ret pally. I've known him for 5 years. He followed me from a dying server about 3-4 years ago to Lightbringer but eventually with life events I became inactive and when I returned he had moved servers so I have decided to join him on this server. Best buddy :D He also told me the people in this guild are very nice and that it is one of the best. I've PvPed with him while he had other guild members in group and it was pretty fun. I'm not really looking to accomplish anything with the guild, I'm just looking for nice members that actually respond when you try to talk in gchat even if it's just casual talk, not asking questions or helping each other when they're being camped or achievements etc. If later on I become more flexible with real life I may try to get into a raid group or rbgs.

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

Wednesday

Upload UI:

Which addons do you consider essential and why?:

I don't like to have too many addons on at once and do not like clutter but I do consider recount, DBM and bartender to be essential to me. Recount so I can see where I stand against other dpsers to see if I'm doing well or not, DBM to help with mechanics if I screw up and am not paying attention for what ever reason(getting out of fire), bartender because I like to move my action bars around.

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

Bartendar lets me move my action bars and change their size etc which makes them neater and less cluttered. I don't really require any more than that for raiding. My laptop can handle a lot it's just not something I like. I always run with 90fps. Occasionally I will turn on other addons that I have downloaded. GladiatorlosSA, atlassloot, taunt master and healbot depending on what I am doing or what toon I am on. Healbot or any kind of healing addon is almost a must for me. I am capable of macro/keybinding mouseover healing but I dislike it because it takes up more room.. I'd rather just use my mouse to do everything I need so I can run around and stay out of fire. :D

PvE

Raid Experience:

Raided ICC and got up to Sindragosa before the group fell apart (this is before Cata patch when it was nerfed), raided some in MoP. Cleared MV, got 4/6 HoF before my promotion changed my schedule. I think I'm above qualities of an average casual player but I am by no means a "hardcore only raid matters in my life"-er.

Describe Your Playstyle:

I am not the best of my class and will miss proc chances or not realize something is off CD at the exact time etc. But I do understand my class. I was never one of the min/maxers nor will I ever be. If my dps or skills are not high enough with how I go about things or from a bit of suggestions then I will not raid - simple. Hours on end of homework were left behind with High school for me.

What specializations do you have experience with?:

I have experience with all of my specializations but at the moment my frost is my main spec. Blood is my off spec just to benefit me in getting ques although I'm a fairly decent tank I just do not like tanking raids. I'd rather dps or heal raids. (Side note: I was formerly mainly a healer for Cata and MoP, not a DK but DK has always been my favorite and my go to. It will always be my main at heart. :]

What are your most and least favorite boss encounters?:

Hmm... I think my favorite was the last boss in MV as a tank. Was pretty fun to dodge the big guys. Least favorite would have to be Sindragosa. We got her down to 2-5% so many times back then but someone would always forget to stand behind the ice. =/ Whole raid group would rage at the end of the night over her even though she literally was not a hard boss. -_-

PvP

PvP Experience:

I honestly can't remember the highest pvp rating I've ever had. I used to pvp with Arraben and a couple others in Wrath and a little in the beginning of Cata but the numbers escape me.

Is PvP your primary focus?:

No but I am having a lot of fun with it right now. I'm looking forward to LFR and Premade raids as well if I'm unable to raid legitly due to life demands so for the next question I am going to put a NO so that people do not assume I can be depended on to fill a spot without asking first but the real answer is MAYBE.

Are you interested in participating in guild rated battlegrounds?:

Personal

Is English your first language?:

Yes.

What timezone are you in?:

Eastern.

Tell us a little about yourself.:

I started playing when I was 17 over a commercial on tv... Of a feral druid... -_- And I wanted to play a kitty.. lol But I ended up with many more classes and not particularly a feral druid. I went resto and missed my tree when they took it away at first. I'm 22 now and female. Don't have any kids, not married but been living with my bf for 3 years who I got to play wow for about a year until he quit. I'm not mean but I'm a little blunt(I avoid questions I know the person will not like the answer to rather than lie.) I goof off in game a little if I'm in group with people I know. Don't get involved in drama. Got promoted to Supervisor/head of my department at my job at age 21. Not really sure what else.. Hoping I'll get to join the guild. :]
