1. Which previous guilds have you been in. If you are in one now why do you wish to leave?
Most Recent :
Pap en vleis : Social guild for South Africans.
The Exodus : 10 man raiding guild whose raid times were to early and interfering with my family time.

Before I transferred this toon here I was in a SA guild that was raiding 25 man before the guild disbanded and I moved here.
I have raided on a few mains at different stages of the game.
Pre-BC : Never raided , was levelling a druid
BC - Druid Tank was my main in a 25 man Raiding guild based on Sylvanas. Raided to 3/4 of BT before the nerfs. I was in the top 3 of management of the guild when I left to prepare for wrath.
Wrath (Uld) - I swopped to a disc priest and moved from alliance to horde. I was leading raids doing heroic's 10 in Uld and assisting in 25 man's.
TOC - I was largely inactive due to RL events and travelling round the world.
ICC - Started to play more actively again and became more active. Current 10/12 HM 10 man and 11/12 25 man. This was largely with a 10 man raiding guild. I left them and joined some friends as with 3 kids the raiding times were to early and interfering with my family.

2. What do you expect from us as a guild?
A nice friendly atmosphere, to progress and the expectation that RL needs to be balanced with dedication to raiding.

3. Why do you want to join this guild?
You have a good reputation on the server and I have raided with some of your guys in the past.

4. Have you applied to other guilds?
No


- D. About Raiding -

1. Raiding takes alot of time and effort outside of the instance for comsumables etc. Do you have enough time to prepare adequately?
Yes, I run a glyph factory so G is not a problem.

2. If your application is accepted. What kind of raider can we expect you to be? Give a brief description of your attitude towards raiding in both progression and farm content.
I am dedicated, will read up on fights as well as theorycraft my toon.

3. What is your raiding experience Pre-BC? In BC? WoTLK? Please state your leadership/role/responsibility
Pre-BC : None - Was busy levelling my toons
BC : Druid Tank up to 3/4 BT before the nerfs hit
WOTLK : Nax : Cleared
Uld : 10 man cleared : 25 man almost
Latter ULD and TOC I was largely inactive.
ICC : Also not as active as I would like , but been doing fairly well.

4. What do you feel has been your most challenging encounter and why?
Kael'thas Sunstrider -:- At the time on progression is was an incredibly long and intricate fight for our gear levels at the time with real risk of a wipe even near the end of the fight.

5. Please indicate with % your chances of raiding on the following days: (We raid evenings 19:30 - 22:30 game time)
- Wednesdays - 95%
- Thursdays - 95%
- Sundays - 95%
- Mondays - 95%
The times actually suit me as a family man because because of timezones it is actually 20:30 or 21:30 depending on daylight savings. So the kids are in bed and the fiance is busy doing her thing.

6. We use EP/GP as a loot system which rewards players on their raid activity, do you think this is a fair way of distributing loot?
I have been on many dkp systems and I have no problem with this one.

7. Please post a screenshot of your UI (whilst in a raid combat) and explain your addons. If you are a DPS please make sure that your recount/skada is clearly visible. (This is compulsory do not submit your application without it)


DBM for boss alerts
Vuhdu - Healing raid frames
Bartender - Bars
Then some mouse over macros tied to my mouse and keyboard.
are the most important ones.


- E. Proffessions -

1. What are your 2 professions? If they are not maxed to the level of profession perks, why not?
Herbalism and Alchemy : Both are maxed , but may change Herbalism to JC and power level it.

2. Do you have high end recipies that you can share with the rest of the guild?
Not many of those in my professions, but will make flasks etc.

Any news on this application as application I havent seen any feedback yet.

Apologies your application is being reviewed. We will get back to you with an answer shortly.

Thanks

I understand that you are a friend of someone who is already in the guild.

The issue we have is that we aren't currently recruiting for shaman healers. We have quiet a few regulars in the role! After speaking to the officers and GM you are welcome to join as a member but will not be promised raid spots as we currently have no spots open for resto shamans. There might be spots open on guild alts runs and 10 mans but again this isn't guarenteed.

We are however looking for good players to strengthen for when Cata comes out.

If this is something that suits you please let us know.

Thanks,

//Ilion

Fine by me.
I will happily join on that basis
