- Your class and spec
Paladin Ret 5 / 11 / 55

- When did you start playing? (date - launch, BC, Wrath)
Started a few weeks after Launch of the game.

- Raid experience-
PRE BC- I raided a lot in MC full clear, little bits in ZG.. But other than those two not much PRE BC..
TBC- Kara, Mount Hyjal, SSC, Gruul's Lair, Magtheridon's lair, BT, Tempest Keep, And Up to KJ in SWP.
WotLK- Naxx 10 - 25 Server first, Maly 10-25 Server first, Ulduar up to Yogg 10m and up to Mim 25man, ToC 10m full clear, ToC 25m Up to Anub'arak ( got him to 4% once), and ToGC 10m Up to Faction champs.

- What kind of playing you do (casual, raid, etc) and what kind you'd like to do.
Casual typically I only raid 4 nights a week from 6:30pm to 10:00pm server time but with a new guild thats subject to change. I don't mind playing more than that, I'm usually on more than that during the day farming for raid mats, Doing Dailies, and Achievements.

- What times you play, and please be exact. From when to when will you be available.
All Server Times - 10am - 12pm break for a few come back at 2pm till around 4pm then break again and Raid from 6:30pm to 10:00pm and call it a night, Tuesdays and Saturdays I don't play much until around 9:00pm Server, and 6:30pm on Saturday.

- What guilds you've been with, and why you're no longer with them
Currently Residing in Ascendance, Not really liking the way things are being ran here, They seem to succumb to one person's wishes over the rest of the guild and a lot of whisper drama goes on. Ive stuck with em for around 3 months now and Despite what the officers say will change nothing ever seems to change. So I think once again it's time to take my leave.

RBP - I was with these guys for a long time from TBC until just a few months ago, I took a break from the game for a few months and when I came back I was to under-geared for the content they where doing, ( ulduar hard modes ) And decided it was best to take my leave and fine a new beginning which was Ascendance.

- What you're looking for in a new guild, and why you chose AD
Well i'm looking for a place my toon can call home, Some place where I don't have to worry about anything other than showing up to raids and doing my best as player. A guild that will give constructive criticism and help me as a player, While at the same time taking my advice. The door swings both ways! A place where people have a good time and clear content at the same time! Why I chose to apply for AD, is because you guys have what it takes to keep a guild going, You have kept this guild alive for as long as i can remember, dont think you where Pre-BC. And not a lot of guilds can say they have lasted as long as you guys have.


- How old you are in real life, and what sex you are
23 years old and I am Male!
- What you do that allows you to pay your WoW subscription
I'm a Wildland Fire Fighter, right now its off season so i dont work as much, I'm also working to get my EMT here in the next few months.
- What's the best holiday present you ever got?
The first one that comes to mind was a Jurassic Park, Park compound toy that I got when i was a kid. Greatest Toy ever.

- Anything else you think would be helpful for us.
Most of my Experience was a Tank named Apolyon. I'll be applying as a Ret Pally as he is my new main, I'm still newish to playing them. I'm not afraid to take criticism as long as its constructive and not demeaning. I hope to join up with you guys and give a helping hand with my experience with the game and hopefully learn a few tricks from you as well.

- Link to your Armory on character(s) for which you are applying:

We'd also like to know your gear level, but although current gear is a factor it will not be the defining one.
my IMBA Rating is 609.20, Gear Score is 5031, and WoW-heroes.com Rates me at 2731 ( I think ).

It's refreshing to again see well written app's come through so thanks for that!

You're build and glyphs look good, as does your current gear.

If I may can I ask why you went with your current meta over the http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41398 as the gemming requirements are easier to meet?

All in all your gear and gemming looks decent. Hit and soft expertise capped and you're carrying Divine Sacrifice.

You get my vote for a trial run.

Honestly, i dont know the agility to crit ratio, so i went with the straight crit instead of the Agility one. But with your input I may just end up changing!

Thanks for your vote! I hope to be raiding with you guys soon!!

The straight agility is mostly an easier gem to meet. It has -other- benefits, but generally its nothing too serious.

hmm. remind me to discuss the concept of 'officer review' with you at some point.

Thanks for the application Solarious. One of us will review the information and get back to you soon. I'm one of the healing officers, so it's not my place to approve/disapprove applications but I'll bring this to the attention one of the others.

Solarious,

Thanks for speaking to me ingame last night. As I said, my only concern is working you into the schedule enough to meet your desire to raid, however, I still think that you should come on a trial run with us.

Please find me ingame before Wed, so that we can set something up, hopefully for this week.
