Name: Mêssêngêr
Class: Surv Hunter (Though I can go MM, np)
Playtime at 80: 107 days
Hours per week: 20-25
Bedtime: 3am EST
Raiding experience pre Wotlk: None
What is your raid experience for Wotlk PvE content? 10/25 Nax, 10/25 Ulduar, Raid Lead 10/25 ToC, Raid Lead 10 ToGC, Raid Lead 10/25 ICC - 8/12, 6/12
We raid from 8:00 PM server time to 12:00. How often can we expect you to be at raids? Don't see a problem with those times at all.
Are you willing to come fully prepared with flasks/potions that are required for raiding? Always do.
Raiding spots are competitive even if you are prepared; are you willing to be benched, especially during your app process? I expect that.
Professions (Provide any rare craftables you can make here): Leather/Skinning - Can make the sham 264 boots.
What previous guilds have you been in and why did you leave them? List them ALL, including guilds on previous servers if you are a cross-server applicant. (THIS IS IMPORTANT):
I just xfered here actually. Was in a semi-casual guild on a smaller server and most the people were interested in drama over progression/fun. I couldn't stand it. I'm loyal and was in that guild for over a year, but just couldn't take it any more, so I came here for a fresh start.
Who do you know in the guild: No one.

Personal Info
Please give a brief description of yourself: 29 year old coach who just loves playing WoW in my free time. I'm kind of one of those closet WoWers where none of my friends know that I play cuz I'd pretty much get made fun of till I died if they did know.
Are you able to use Ventrilo? Yes.
What would you bring to this guild the most? Awareness. I raid lead for a while, and I look forward to just getting back to taking a back seat. I'm a very aware player. People say "Standing in fires" is the aware test...well I take it one step further and can completely dodge getting hit by fires all the while having great dps.
Why are you applying to Reason over another guild (IMPORTANT FOR TRANSFER APPS) (hint: "I want to progress and you guys seem good" isn't going to win you any points): I just saw you all spam your stuff in trade so I came and looked at the website and it seems to be a good fit for me. And, you're guild name isn't dumb.
Why should we accept you? Here's the fun one. Sell yourself to us. We get a lot of applications. As with above, "because I show up to raids and try hard" is crap. What makes you special? Why you over the other people that apply? I'm smart. I mean, I don't know how to say that any more. I have a pvp background which I'm proud of and I think that has made me an elite player. I've always thought that pvpers make the best pve players, just because they are used to being more aware than the normal person; having to make split decision or its gg. I know my class, I read everything I can, I come prepared, I'm into theorycrafting, ect. Right now I know I get laughed at cuz I'm still survival, but not too many MM's beat me yet. I know MM in theory can put out more dps, but its not easy to do so. You have to have a lot of armpen/haste and you can't be moving a lot, which a lot of the ICC encounters don't allow. I plan on respecing as soon as I get the 4 piece bonus, and I also plan on going MM as soon as my armpen is high enough. But until then I'm fine with Surv and I think I can out perform most in the process. Last night I was topping the charts in a pug ToC (I know, I know) and a MM hunter with similiar gear couldn't understand how I was beating him so badly. Its just you gotta pick a spec that fits your play style and your role in a raid.
What do you think are the 3 biggest problems in raids (i.e. what causes wipes and other screwups)? Fatigue, people cracking under pressure, and people not focused and prepared like they should be, i.e. studying fights before hand...ect. Also side note, alchohol can mess up a raid pretty quick too.
What would you say is your primary weakness in a raid situation? Just understanding when a healer messes up or not. Its hard for me to tell. Sometimes I can pick it up visually, i.e. they are moving more than they need to. But for the most part, I have to ask a pro healer what the healing issues are.
Do you have a standard raiding mod set up (KTM threat meters, Deadly Boss Mods)? Recount, DBM, threat meter, Ensidia fails, Phoenix down, grid, dominoes.
Is there anything else you would want us to know about yourself or your character? I'm anti-drama. You won't get any drama from me.
