1. Your age, gender, and time played: I'm an 18 year old male and I have a total of 170 days /played.
2. List any alts and off specs you have gear for AND CAN PLAY COMPETENTLY: I only have a level 80 mage though I only use him for PvP and farming really.
3. Armory links (mandatory): http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... &n=Mikaelo
4. Any WWS or WMO links or other clear indication of your performance in a raid (recommended): http://www.wowmeteronline.com/combat/3569140#damageout

5. We are a raiding guild and ended TBC top 200 US; it is expected you have raiding experience and know ALL fights you will be brought to. In your opinion, what is the most difficult boss encounter you have ever defeated and why?: I got a late start in burning crusade so before 3.0 I only got up to Illidan, not many hard fights. In WotLK nothing has been too hard so far but Sarth 3D is definitely what took the most effort and time for my guild to defeat.
6. Previous guilds/servers and reason for leaving, also include any references we may contact: A year ago I joined my first guild, Redemption, and was in there for about a month before I was demoted for being bad. I got kind of pissed and so I really sat down and read about my class, rotations, gearing and all that fun stuff and joined Virtue. I was in Virtue's B raid team in BC and when WotLK came out we didn't have enough people for 2 raid groups anymore so they merged them. I was one of 5 rogues so I decided to return to my first guild and have been with them for all of WotLK up until now. I left Redemption because I wasn't very happy with the style of raiding, I don't want to go too much into detail but I'd just like a more serious and dedicated guild with good players. I left Redemption on pretty good terms and am still friends with the GM Miia and Co-GM Destinyhunt so they shouldn't say too many bad things about me if you contact them
7. It is assumed you will be available from 8-12 ST (Server Time is EST) Sunday through Thursday. If you can’t, please explain why you couldn't make our scheduled raid times (or why you even bothered applying): That is the same schedule I was raiding with Redemption so it should work out perfectly.
8. Explain what specifically puts you at the top? We raid to be at the top and expect it of all our members. Do you take pride in topping meters, never letting the tank die, never pulling aggro, etc.? What separates you from the rest? Be specific, this will be a major indicator of the kind of player you are: I take pride in being the best I can be and I believe that to be a top notch quality a raider should have. I like to raid to be the best. I do like and try to top meters because as a Rogue, in the end, that's what my job comes down to. I don't know if this would necessarily separate me from the rest but I'm not a dumb ass. I can move out of beams, I can move out of void zones and I will always come prepared. I will always come with full consumables focused 110% and I'd expect the other 24 people I am raiding with to be the same way.
9. Post a screenshot of your UI (Thumbnail Please) or a comprehensive list of mods that you use for raiding. ARE YOU A CLICKER?

10. If you have thoroughly answered the following questions and you are confident you are what we are looking for, you have a good chance of being trialed, but we'd like to know why you want to join us? What made you choose us over the other guilds out there? Mainly because you guys seem like a fun guild. You guys remind me of my old guild Virtue. It seems like you guys fuck around, have fun and don't have a stick up your ass but when it comes down to business you get shit done (or at least that's the impression I have) and that's the type of guild I'd love to be in.
11. Add anything else you think we’d find interesting (such as you’re a GM, you recorded WWS for your old guild, you were an officer or did assignments in a past guild, you are Kalgan’s alt [Fuck that guy], or anything else noteworthy). I'm going to use this area to go more in depth about my character and just hope your Rogue officer would find this interesting.
The rotation I use is opening with garrote and then getting hunger for blood up (if I wasn't able to get it off a bleed before opening) and get slice and dice up. If I get a ruthlessness proc and a mutilate crit I'll rupture then mutilate and envenom. If I don't get a mutilate crit then I'll just mutilate again and envenom and get rupture up after. If I don't get a ruthlessness proc then I'll simply mutilate twice and envenom to refresh slice and dice. I generally refresh hunger for blood with 1 second left. I refresh rupture when I'm sure I'll have time to get in what I need to avoid slice and dice dropping. To refresh slice and dice I simply envenom though I wait for the envenom buff to drop and to squeeze out that extra DPS I wait for deadly poison to tick (which I think will be even more valuable now with the t8 2pc bonus).
The glyphs I use are HFB, Mutilate and ToTT. HFB and Mutilate are pretty obvious choices to use. I use tricks of the trade when there's another Rogue in the raid who also uses the glyphs because it provides more dps than rupture glyph would. If I was the only Rogue in the raid or the other Rogue didn't want to switch glyphs for whatever reason then I would use rupture. At the moment I am getting for attack power/crit because pre-t8 it was the best choice for maximum DPS. The new t8 bonus has pushed agility's dps value above attack power's so I will be gemming all new gear with agility. Right now my professions are JC for the amazing prismatic gems and engineering. I was enchanting up until yesterday but I rerolled mainly for PvP because blizzard decided to make a profession stupidly game breaking. The dps loss from switching from enchanting to engineering wasn't that big for PvE because the haste enchant for gloves is way better than the 44ap or 20agil and almost makes up for the loss of the 64ap bonus of enchanting.
I currently raid with a 51/13/7 spec taking turn the tables over master poisoner. This spec is currently the highest dps spec for mutilate. 51/18/2 is another mutilate spec I have tried and has been rumored to be more dps than 51/13/7 though with the loss of relentless strikes it makes your rotation pretty shaky and there is nothing solid proving it higher than 51/13/7.
Also, I have icewalker on my boots because for half the fights it's better than cat's swiftness. For the other half however, cat's swiftness is better so my plan is to eventually be able to get two pairs of boots and put icewaker on one and cat's swiftness on the other.
Any questions you have I would be more than happy to answer. Thank you for taking the time to look over my application and I look forward to hearing back from you guys.
