Can you make all our raid days?

Yes, this should be no problem at all.


Do you have any logs we can take a look at?

I have a more substantial body of logs from 7.2.5, since 7.3 my previous guild kind of went to shit to put it bluntly.

My main:

Most played alt:

What are your previous raid experiences in Legion and other expansions?

In legion, I have been playing on a pretty weak realm, hence my transfer. We achieved 2/7M EMN before 7.1, 2/10M before 7.2, and 1/9m in Tomb back in August. We have consistently had roster troubles which means we weren't really able to kick on after 1-2 mythic kills.

I did not play MoP or WoD, but I have extensive experience in TBC and Wrath as a hardcore and semi-hardcore raider. TBC I cleared current content each patch until Sunwell, where we ultimately died on Twins (bad locks, RIP), (Prot pally in T4 and T5, Resto druid in T6, with Prot Pally being used on Gurtogg progress).

In Wrath, I remained interested in challenging myself but more casually. I cleared Naxx, with immortal runs ultimately being ruined by the awful servers at peak hours and the lack of willingness of people in the guild to raid odd hours one time for the title. In Ulduar, I cleared all hard modes aside from Yogg+1 and Yogg+0.

I took a bit of a break in Trial, before nabbing ICC heroic progression up to Blood Queen just before pre-patch hit. (Fury warrior during ICC - armor pen hype; Resto druid in Naxx and Ulduar).

In Cataclysm, I still had a rather elitist mindset and the constant catch up mechanics felt like raiding was being devalued. So after clearing the first tier on heroic as an MM hunter, I quit the game until Legion essentially.


Do you have any alts or offspecs we can use for progress or that you play in general?

As highlighted above, I have a very well geared Guardian druid, which I am competent at playing at the highest level of content. It is currently still on Magtheridon, but if useful, I can bring it over before Antorus. I can also play feral quite well but will need some practice if its needed.

Quote:Other questions
What are your expectations from us?

I value consistency in everything. If something is expected, I am happy to do so as long as its consistent across the board. Likewise, I want a consistent and stable raid environment where I can do my best as a raider, without any unnecessary drama or responsibilities falling my way due to issues.


Do you have anyone in the guild that can vouch for you?

No, I am brand new to Draenor and haven't encountered any members of this guild in M+ or anything unfortunately.


Do you have questions for us?

How interested are your members in Mythic+?

Whilst I am a wheelchair tank for this content, players such as Zqs - Tichondrius US and Tofufist - Tichondrius US have inspired me as a Brewmaster main to push past 20 keys and such like they have.

I know most people aren't that interested in pushing that high, but it'd be awesome if people enjoyed at least going as far as they can, whether that be 1 chesting a 15 or 3 chesting a 17.

I also am wondering whether you recruit for the bench?

Ideally, I would be joining to raid immediately, but I understand as a tank that this is not always possible. I am happy to be patient if needed.

Hey knot,

To answer your question about the mythic+ there are people that enjoy doing high keys here and trying to push, there are a few that have done 19s and some 20s but haven't broken past that barrier yet.

Also a quick question to you just about your offspec, how comfortable are you playing it if needed and do you have experience in it?

We do have 2 tanks, but you will get into raids still, there is competition on all the spots even the tank spots, so there might be times where your sat out for a boss or 2 or you may end up doing the whole raid, are you okay with that if thats the case? The more viable offspecs people have the more chance there is on being in raids alot more then without also Smile

Hi Indin,

I have played WW a fair bit in M+, and I did play it now and again in Nighthold. I would need to reacquant myself with it, in relation to how the boss encounters work in ToS. With that said I have done ToS a great deal, so generally speaking, it should be okay.. Ultimately, I would be fine to play it when needed as I wanted to get into WW arena also. Given that this would be the situation, I would work hard to bring WW up to scratch, its in my nature to compete and do my best whilst having fun. I can throw in a free pass at banter whilst im less good at WW too.

Hey man, We have decided to accept your application and give you a trial, bare in mind during this period there will be alot of rotations to get people in for different bosses and so on.

Also one quick thing obviously you and your friend have both applied, and i just want to make sure your both fine with trialling individually, so it might mean one of you raids and one doesn't sometimes and things like that.

If your fine with that feel free to give me an invite in game!
