A. Basic Information
* Name? Nick
* Age? Gender? Occupation? 22/Male/Student with a part time job
* Tell us a little about yourself. I'm currently a chemical engineering student with about 3 years left of school. I've been playing games my whole life, and played wow since vanilla. I have taken a few breaks in the middle of all wow to try other mmos (Aion, EQ2, and warhammer) but keep coming back to the addiction. I also am currently beta testing cata and ff14. Past that I'm your stereotypical nerd who covers it up with running and working out ^^.
In wow I have raided as a druid (feral and rest), pally (holy), priest (holy), warlock (all 3 specs), mage (fire and arcane), and rogue (mut and combat). I have also arenaed on this toons and got gladiator on my lock, will be getting it this season on my mage, and then have gotten duelist on every other toon I played.
I currently have a part time job, but their shifts are very lenient so I can make it so I never work on a raid night outside of random circumstances.
B. System Information
* What are your system specs?
Intel duo core 3.2 ghz, 4GB of ram, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS
* Do you have any objections to speaking on vent when needed?
Not at all, I do a lot of arena so I like to talk.
* Any disconnection problem at all? Average Latency while raiding?
No disconnects, on cable internet and it's extremely stable. My average latency is around 100.
* Post a speed test from
http://www.speedtest.net/ (Use the Dallas test server)
* Post a ping test from
http://www.pingtest.net/ (Use the Dallas test server)
* Average FPS in raid during a boss?
60
C. Raiding and Character information
1. Character Name | Spec | Class | Race (Horde Race upon acceptance)
Grutta/Fire (20/51/0)/Mage/Troll
2. Are you a clicker? Be honest,
Nope I've arenaed since s2 and have gotten gladiator, and I'm not asian, so my fingers definitely can't do that while clicking.
3. Are you exalted with Sons of Hodir?
Yes
4. What is your raiding experience Pre-BC? In BC? WoTLK? Specify the guilds you were in/leadership role/responsibility.
Pre-BC - (MC/BWL/AQ40 up to huhu/AQ20/ZG/Ony And was GM for a guild and officer for other guilds during this time, never was a normal member for more than a few weeks)
BC - (Kara/ZA/SSC/TK/ 4 of 5 hyjal/ 3 of 8 BT, officer through TK then switched due to guild dieing to a normal raid member for the rest)
WoTLK - (Nax 10/25, Ulduar 10/25 with drake from 10 man, ToTC 10/25, ToGC10, ToGC 25 4/5, ICC 10/25, ICC hard modes 11/12 both 10 and 25, RS 25, I was just a normal raid member for all of this). My initial WoTLK up to ToTC was on a warlock (numbrfour) and then I started my mage up for the rest of this.
All guilds I was in were on various different servers, I just transferred to this server for arena, but my latest guild was Insomniax on Korgath, and before that Eternal Reign on Korgath.
5. Provide an armory link to your character and a wowhead link to your normal raiding spec.
I know i'm 1% hit short, geared towards having a draenei in group, I'll set it up to get that hit tomorrow, just didn't have time tonight with arena and work in the morning.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kalecgos&cn=Gruttahttp://www.wowhead.com/talent#of0Vcu0cZ0Ec0RhIhVubhct:VLizcV6. You will need lots of consumables to keep up with the pace during progression raids. Do you have the will and time to put in enough effort to keep an adequate amount?
Yes I do, currently have 20k gold with 15k in items I brought over, plus I am an alchemist and always come with flasks and enough haste pots to dbl pot on every attempt for the night.
7. Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters?
Yes, been a raider since MC so I'm used to learning fights and strats before we enter the instance so I know exactly what to do, also spent a lot of that time as an officer, so used to learning it well enough to teach others.
8. What do you think about beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content?
As long as I'm off work quick enough to get to the start I'm completely down for that =P. I love to progress and fight for server firsts.
9. Post a WWS report / Wow Meter Online / World of Logs of a few recent raids in your guild. If your guild does not run these, post a screenshot(s) of your recount for some boss encounters. (DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT)
My name was Squik, on putricide attempts I'm always lead of the disease team which is why i'm low, and on our last BQ attempt we didn't use hero and had to slow dps so our DK could get his last bite for shadowmourne.

10. Post a screenshot of your UI while in a raid enviroment (in combat). (Give a list of any relevant addons not shown.)
I also use DBM and tidy plates.

1. What is your secondary spec? Frost PvP
2. Are you able to play it as well as your main spec? Yar! I also have raided as arcane pve for a lot of ICC.
3. Are you willing to change your main spec and/or secondary spec for guild needs? Yeah of course, I have enough money to spec whatever is needed for every raid.
E. Professions
1. What are your 2 professions? if they are not maxed to the level of profession perks, why not? They are alchemy and engineering.
2. If you have a gathering profession/non-optimal race, what is stopping you from changing it to benefit you more? No gathering profession.
F. Other Questions
1. What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM? Include their website. No guild, but my previous guild was
http://insomniax.mmoguildsites.com/ and there were a lot of GMs, council style guild. But obeygiant was the raid leader and Heffbardeux was my class lead.
2. Why are you leaving your current guild? Left for arena mainly, but I joined the guild about 4 months ago, and they were on heroic LK p1. 4 months later they are still on heroic LK p1 due to a high turnover rate and lack of effort on a large majority of the guild. We have been having more socials and apps in the raids the last month than actual raiders.
3. Do you play actively outside of raiding? Yeah I do, currently have a lock on my old server (Korgath), but also like to BG my mage a lot.
4. Are you able to take and improve upon harsh criticism? Yeah, as I have said, I am an arena person, and you can't become high rated without being able to improve under harsh criticism, so I've grown accustomed to it.
5. There will be Bench time. Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. Are you okay with this? Yes I am.
6. Why are you interested in joining CUTIES ONLY? do you currently know anyone in CUTIES? I transferred here to arena with Hydrolol and Kiffz, and they told me about the guild and that it should be the first place I look for a raiding spot on this server, so figured I'd listen to there advice and try. Plus even people on my old server knew who you guys were.
7. What are the other guilds you applied to? any particular reason why you are shopping for multiple guilds? keep in mind we do have very good contacts in other guilds, your omission on certain information may be held against you. I have not applied to any other guilds yet, I will probably be checking out to see what other guilds are on this server and may apply to them, just very new to the server so not sure which guilds aside from you are worth looking into.
8. 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. Does your level of play decline during the farm period? You can expect a raider who is used to banging their head against the brick wall known as progression. I sat through the old 40 man raids doing weeks and weeks of constant struggle to kill bosses. I'm also very tolerant and helpful since I've been a GM and officer in multiple guilds. I don't get stressed easily or nerd rage at all, plus I've raided as every possible role in multiple instances, so know what it's like for everyone in the raid. I'm also a very easy to get along with person and like to enjoy raiding while still giving it everything I have in order to progress.
9. How can we contact you outside of the game? AIM, Email, etc...
