http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sylvanas&cn=AutomaticaPost your current talent build: 51/13/7
Why have you spec'ed like this: This spec for me was chosen by a friend who had been playing WoW a lot longer than me; I realised quickly is was the best spec to keep up sustained damage on bosses in comparison to say combat spec- plus it fits smoothly with my rotation.
What spec would you like to play for Afterdawn: Assasination of course
What do you believe this spec will benefit Afterdawn: The higher the dps, the easier the challenge ahead- and thats what I produce; high dps.
If asked would you respec for the good of Afterdawn: Of course with the correct weapons (thats basically all thats needed for rogues).
Your internet connection? (lags/DCs?): Occasionally lags in the hell hole that is Dalaran- apart from that I have never had any problems raiding or doing arena.
Profession 1 & Level: NA
Profession 2 & Level: NA
First Aid Level: NA
(I never got round to doing professions as I levelled with friends quickly on this rogue- If the guild needed me to I would be more than happy to level up professions).
What's your PAST experience from the other expension:
Original Onyxia and playing on other characters doing TBC- from Karazhan to Black Temple ( On my character called Smallie, Tarren Mill EU server).
What's your current experience from WotLK:
I can do any heroic without dying (fingers crossed) with a capable group with me. I have done Saph and KT from Naxx and the first two bosses of Ulduar and the first three of ToC 10- I am aware this sounds hugely unimpressive; but I have never really had confidence to raid but have got to the point where raiding is the next step and if I want to get better gear (than emblems of triumph stuff) I must regularly raid and I am mature enough to do it.
Previous guilds and why you left them: None that really stand out- random ones with IRL friends and casual (pugged) raiding.
Other Characters (Class, Level and Server): Siirius is my alt- Level 80 Death Knight (tank) on Sylvanas
Can you attend our raid times (see further down this thread): Yes.
Raid times
(20.00 - 00.00) If you can't raid between those hours, then stop writing an application to us.
Are you able to spend up to 4 hours uninterrupted on raiding: Yes, with toilet breaks I hope
Are you able to raid a minimum of 2 of these nights: Yes- I can raid all of them I imagine.
Raid days:
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
Do you have ventrilo? if yes, what version: (We use the old version 2.1.4)
I dont have ventrilo on my computer (because its new) but have no problem using it and such.
Do you have a microphone: My computer microphone has never been a problem before- If need be I can purchase one.
Do you have any friends in the guild, if yes, who: I dont have any friends in Afterdawn that I am aware of.
Why do you want to be in Afterdawn: It seems accessable and mature and willing to give opportunities to those who show competance and advanced abilities playing their specific class.
Why should we choose you over someone else: I have a "brain"- I am aware of tactics and am keen to progress through new content and can make all the raid slots. As well as this I am well spoken and happy to lead raids when I become more comfortable with them.
Why do you consider yourself as an adult: Because I can legally buy alcohol and cigarettes in England.lol (Joking)- because I retain composure and just want to enjoy myself playing WoW and have fun. Rather than being childish and shouting and screaming when I don't get loot etc.
Are you able to handle constructive criticism? IN and out of raids: Of course. Anything to better the effort I have already put into Automatica.
There is situations in guilds where you haven't got any loot for shit loads of raids, if that would happend to you, how would you react: I would be fine with that for the most part. Obviously I would be a bit upset if i got a poor roll- but wouldnt get angry or quit the guild etc. I am not that kind of person I am "Automatica The Patient" lol.
If you wouldn't get invited to a Wednesday raid (farm bosses) How would you react: I would not mind and maybe on some occasions I would ask why I wasnt invited and then try and improve or change if it was because of problems with my character or what I say.
How would you react if we had 4 hours wiping on the same boss, would you leave the guild or start complaining: I would keep trying if other members were still up for it and make sure others were aware of what they were dong and try to help us progress through a boss.
Have you read Our Rules: (If no please do to avoid conflicts and other stuffs) Yes I have read the rules.
Do you have any questions to us: Does the guild have any other English/ British members ?
Tell us a bit about yourself:
I am 18, a student and am studying at Royal Holloway a college at the University of London studying English and Journalism. I play WoW in my free time and go out at weekends. I love rock/ metal music and thats about it really.
Thankyou for presenting me with this opportunity to apply for Afterdawn (nice guild name by the way). I hope to hear back from you guys soon.
Oscar/ Automatica.
