Stricken, a Raiding Application (Declined 7/21)

* RL Name: James

* How old are you?: 16

* Character Name: Stricken

* Current Realm (For transfers only):

* Class: Warlock

* Level: 80

* Spec: Affliction main spec / Shadowfury bitch offspec

* What glyphs do you use for your main spec, what is your reasoning:
Glyph of Haunt - Increases my damage increaser... basically; Glyph of Quick Decay - Reduces the time in between tick of Corruption, which scales with how fast I'm spamming my other spells so it gets a tick off before Haunt/Shadowbolt refreshes it, also on fights I have to move alot, I can sometimes get lucky and get an instant cast Shadowbolt =p; Lastly Glyph of Life Tap - I'm using Dark Pact which gives me mana at the sacrifice of my pets mana, instead of my health, which increases my spellpower.

* Do you have dual-spec? If so, what is it?:
I'm currently Destrution, solely for Shadowfury on Saurfang, but I've recently had the urge to go Demo (again).

* If you have a dual-spec are you proficient enough with your other spec to use it in a raid setting?:
Oh yeah, Destruction used to be my mainspec, when I first started playing my Warlock, then I switched to Demo when ICC came out to buff our raid. I also did my research on both specs to play them to there full capability.

* List the name(s) of your current/past alts:
I have an 80 Death Knight that I NEVER use unless specifically asked to for some random reason, and I'm also working on a Paladin right now (though I'm not quite sure what I want to do with it yet).

* List your previous guilds and why you left:
I transferred over here with my friend Bangarrang, after we left our all foreign server (that had us raiding at 5 or 6am) and came over to Khadgar for his IRL friends. I initially joined Boomstick Syndicate because we were guarenteed to get in instantly, and we heard they downed 10man Yogg, which was the stuffz coming from our server. It was great at first, but then everyone seemed to start getting burned out which made us leave because we actually enjoyed raiding. After I joined Abyss because they were pretty far progressed, especially from where I was coming from. It's been awesome so far, but recently (again) the guilds been dying out and we've had to recruit just random poeple and we've been slowly doing worse and worse, and the chain reaction of people leaving has started. Not much you can do when your core people dip out and your stuck there recruiting people that have never even done ICC, and expecting them to jump into hardmodes.

* Why Plaguechill?:
Since I transferred over here I’ve always wanted to be in Plaguechill. The Abyss and Boomstick were both great, met some amazing people, but I’d like to see the top end content. It’s also VERY frustrating when you’re all ready to raid, and the raid gets called for 1 or 2 people not showing up and having no possible replacements. Plaguechill looks like it will still be alive and kicking after the “xpac blues”, so that looks like fun.

* Have you ever applied here before? If so on what character(s):
I have not.

* Do you have any references within the guild?:
Larnon, your most recent secksy Druid could. Other than that, no one that's raided much with my Warlock. Windstrom probably could for my Death Knight though, but he's gathering dust =p.

* Have you read our guild charter and policies?:
Yes

* We generally raid between 7:30-11:30 PM EST Sunday-Wed if there's enough content. Will you be able to keep a high attendance rate with these raid times?:
I would be able to make every single raid, but being in Florida, a freak storm may hit and I may lose power, but I'd give a heads-up if that was a possibility.

* We use a loot council to determine where an upgrade is best put to use. Our goal is challenge and achievements - loot is merely the tool needed for these. Do you have an issue with this?:
As long as I match and r perty then I'm perfectly fine with that, haha.

* Post your armory (remember to log out in the correct gear):
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Khadgar&cn=Stricken

* Given that armory doesn't always work, or show offset/unequipped items, please list any other gear you have that you feel is important to your desired raid role:
Depending on what spec I am, I'll usually swap out gear for hit/crit/haste, since Affliction has 3% more hit than the other two specs. I'm swapping out my weapons, wand, and bracers currently for the hit rating.

* Do you have a WWS, World of Logs or some other combat log of a recent raid? We very rarely consider those without logs.:
I don't have any logs right now, but you best believe I'm working on it. Should have one by tonight more accurately.

* Do you have Ventrilo and a mic? Can you be on Ventrilo in raids without lagging or D/Cing?:
Yes, and about 90% of the time, nothing a simple vent reset can't fix.

* Is your internet connection/computer stable?:
Definetly, as long as I don't have any details on =p.

* Are you comfortable giving and taking constructive criticism? (IMPORTANT Note: Constructive does not involve the words Scrub, Noob or Fgt):
Yes, I asked Warloksauce for help on going Affliction and I took note of everything he had to say, and I've helped quite a bit of Warlocks on getting to know the basics then using the specs to their full capability.

* What is your favorite boss encounter? Why?:
Since I'm fairly new to WoW, Ulduar baby <-, I'd say Firefighter was the most fun I've had in-raid. Tanking him on my Death Knight was probably the most stressfull thing I’ve ever done, especially barely being geared. On the other hand, though, it was awsome once we finally got him down. Really want that to do that some more.

* Tell us about yourself in a short paragraph. This should contain information about you IRL:
I'm a 16 year old in 11th grade. Working part-time as a Welder and Mechanic with my step-father. Currently exploring this foreign concept called "16 year old girls at adventure islands" which has turned out to be one of my favorite activities. I'm usually that guy that talks alot in guild and can be your best friend. I’ve been told I’m Elitist, which I’m starting to believe, Hi Famyne! Other than that I’m just that Warlock that shows up a lot. Also, if I’m making jokes about you, it’s probably because I like you, but not like that!
* What else do you have to offer the guild?:
I bring feasts! if I can bum the mats off my friends or find myself accidently fishing. I offer great DPS, sometimes awsome naked orc dancing, and (if I ever go back and pick up Engineering) rocketboots racing off the LK staircase.

* How did you hear about us?:
When I was just about to transfer to the server, the first thing I did was come over to the server and ask trade who the best guild is, and after the first 5 minutes of spam, some people whispered me and said Plaguechill. Since then I’ve raided with a few of you, mostly randomly (jumping at every raid Windstrom invited me to) and haven’t found a bad seed yet, except Larnon. So, I guess I can thank trade for something, yay!
