Your Name: Marcus Age: 19 Genre: Male Email: mail@marcusfredman.com Main Character: Vjatjeslav Race: Troll Class: Hunter Please post a link to your armory profile *, a screenshot of your UI with reasoning behind your addons/keybinds and preferably a recent raid log. The later is not a must but will up your chances to be accepted by a margin: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/frostmane/Vjatjeslav/simple http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/3325/wowscrnshot100611232721.jpg I like to keep it clean but still being able to see all the information I need during a boss fight. I've binded the spells I use to the keys that are closest around my movement keys, which are WASD. Pretty standard I suppose but does what has to be done, no problem at all. Unfortunetaly I haven't gotten that far in Cataclysm, I just started playing again after my long pause from raiding so I haven't gotten that far with my gear and the raids. My current guild consists of real friends and we aren't really that hardcore, we have cleared 6/7 bosses in Firelands during our first week as "raiders", we are aiming to clear Ragnaros this week. Explain why you believe you will be a valuable member of our raid team: I think that I am a very focused person, and I will definitely try to keep my guild mates as focused as I am. I never whine or complain during the hardest times when we wipe over and over again, this is one of my biggest qualities. During difficult bosses when alot happens it's important to keep focus and don't think about what everyone else's doing or you might get lost looking at the other persons, this is something that I don't have a problem with and I try to help other people who might be about to fail and I'll tell them and help them in time. Give a maximum of two examples of situations where you were of value to your guild and helped it progress: During my busiest time in Ulduar I've helped alot of mates by shouting out and helping them when they have been completely lost, for example during Yogg'saron phase 1 and his damn clouds, so many people used to fail and it is important to notify them before they activate the cloud. Do you theorycraft a lot around your character? What forum/tool are you using to keep up to date? Feel free to explain a little to us why you're using the gems you have, and why you prefer one stat to another for the moment: I read the following sites( http://elitistjerks.com/f74/t112408-cataclysm_4_2_marksmanship_guide/ & http://www.noxxic.com/hunter/marksmanship) and also inspect other hunters in top guilds, both on this server and on other servers. Agility is as a hunter the very top prio to stack, because it has no cap limit. The hit cap is of course also important to always have at 8%, but that's no problem. After this it's crit>mastery/haste depending on how much haste my gear gives me. What is your number one reason for joining The Pasty Smashers. Please respond in no more than 100 words: You guys seem to have a really nice fellowship and from what I've seen and heard you seem to be very mature and not acting like kids, like some other idiots on this server. I like a guild where you know eachother well and try to keep the raiding setup as tight as possible. We prefer our members to have a sense of humour and to generally fit in. Why do you think this is important? Please respond in no more than 100 words: Humour during raids, especielly during hours of wipes, is very important for keeping the teamwork and motivation up, in my opinion from what I've seen and heard during raids. Also being social in your guild is very important, otherwise you won't integrate and be one in the group. From my earlier guilds many people didn't talk to the other people in the guild unless it was raid time, many of those people left very soon because they never integrated with the rest of the guild. List your earlier pve-experience: During TBC I didn't get too much experience because I started playing too late, I did kill a few bosses in SSC and TK, and then WOTLK came. During WOTLK I progressed in Naxxramas and Ulduar with my guild on Shattered Hand, Unbroken. We cleared Ulduar pretty fast and we were ranked about 4-5 on alliance and 10 overall on the server. I only did 3 hardmodes with them until I had to leave unfortunately. Reason for leaving your previous guild(s): I left Unbroken because it was during a tough time in school and I really had to study most of my free time, which left no hours for raiding. Is there anything else you'd like to add about your character or yourself as a person? In that case, do it here! I'm a very humble and easy to get to know, I'm very open for new ideas about my talents, gems, stats etc etc and I don't get angry or frustrated just because someone told me to change something or try something new. Thanks for reading my application! Best regards, Vjatjeslav.
