Hrothgara, hunter (xfer)

[Hrothgara]

1. Your age, gender, and time played: 22, male, 96 days on main

2. List any alts and off specs you have gear for AND CAN PLAY COMPETENTLY: terribad rogue for mining

3. Armory links (mandatory):

4. Any WWS or WMO links or other clear indication of your performance in a raid (recommended): Guild sadly stopped using WWS, but I do have some recount photos (without the +5% vs trackable targets, no buffs of any kind (except tasty cupcake!) on a heroic target dummy:

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?:

Prince KT was the boss I have spent most progression time on. There was simply so much going on. People had to learn where to run in phase 1, how do deal with conflag, and the tinker bombs. Phase 2 was all about killing the weapons, and the inevitable "I can't find it." 3 was nuts, having to finish off the weapons (I tanked the bow) then quickly kill the adds again. Phases 4 and 5 were also clusterfucks, having to burn the shield, kite phoenixes, and dps the eggs. All in all an epic fight that took about a month to down. (pre 3.0 of course)

6. Previous guilds/servers and reason for leaving, also include any references we may contact:
Azuremyst: Resurrection, took a break after Sunwell before WOTLK
Dunemaul: Transferred because of irl friends. Abnormality (before it fell apart due to lack of content), now Blacklist
I wish to xfer to Scilla because a couple of my friends have also xfered to the server due to its better population of raiding guilds. Also, while Blacklist has many wonderful players, there are many who are not exceptional at their class and I do not foresee much progression on hard modes.
Reference: Estei in Men’s Warehouse (is one of my irl frends, so may not be “objective”)

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): Can make em all

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’m a hunter and always will be. I shoot stuff till it’s dead. Toping the meters is a must, otherwise I have no reason to be there (other than replenishment, woohoo!)

9. Post a screenshot of your UI (Thumbnail Please) or a comprehensive list of mods that you use for raiding. ARE YOU A CLICKER? http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq295...05/UI4.jpg
Only click when doing farm content and it’s really boring

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?

As I wrote earlier, I have some irl friends in other raiding guilds on this server. The reputation of WharLewtsPlzHalp is both that of a guild with an awesome name, as well as a top-tier raiding guild. I have been looking to transfer for some time now, and when I saw you were looking for a ranged dps I jumped at the opportunity.

11. Add anything else you think we’d find interest, such as you’re a GM, you recorded WWS for your old guild, you were an officer or did assignments in a past guild, tracked DKP and distributed loot, or anything else noteworthy

I am experienced raider who enjoys challenging fights. I know my class well and am always looking to improve, be it in major changes in spec to minor tweaks. I have been hunter class lead in 3 guilds and an officer in 3 as well. I have raid-led all non-ulduar 10 and 25 man content. I learn quickly and don’t die to stupid shit. I also have a mammoth for easy repairs.

Looks good, I have no problems if no one else objects.

why did you match your chest socket bonus instead of neck/legs?

[Sanderz]

why did you match your chest socket bonus instead of neck/legs?

because he likes going even farther over hit cap, like some other hunter i know

[lawlerbation the hardcore squatter]

didnt realize being .05 is gearing for over hit cap

It's simply for the meta, I needed to have a blue gem somewhere (just as I have an orange rather than another red in my belt).

And yes, most hunters like to be slightly over the hit cap. This is because if we are slightly below we may not miss, but our pet's hit is truncated, not rounded. I.e. if I have 7.99% hit (out of 8%), my pet only gets 7% hit. This leads to a TON of more misses from my pet. It's thus safer to be a few points over.

You're right there was no real reason that I put the purple there over another place. I just got the 8.5 chest, and need to get the meta somehow. Neck was the other possibility, but since I hope to replace Black Ice and perhaps equip Grim Toll, I wanted to be a little safe on hit. I can always regem that or re-enchant my boots to pure agi. I could also have just used a prismatic, something I’ll have to run numbers on.

[Firecrest]

Sounds minor to me. Inv IMO. We need another hunter badly.

[Frostitude]

Transfer already.

[Hrothgara]

I am happy to transfer whenever. I was just waiting for some formal response before clearing out my mail and plunking down the moulah.

I'm happy to do a vent/lvl 1 alt interview first if there is anything you wish to discuss.

[Firecrest]

Consider yourself formally invited.
