Played Time on your character: 79h, 22h, 43m

Professions and level of professions:

- Jewelcrafting: 450/450
- Leatherworking: 450/450: I will probably switch over to blacksmithing, since I'm able to play around more with stats. It will provide more armor penetration once I start stacking it.

Other: Everything maxed except fishing (which I find rather boring to do, but I'm working on it).

Do you have a stable internet connection (Yes/No and average MS in raids):

Very stable, only dc during patch days or rare events. 40-80ms in game. No fps problems at all.

What other characters do you have?

Akeldama: Blood elf Death Knight - 80

Saturday 19:30-xx:xx - Sometimes (03:00)
Sunday 19:30-23:00 – Yes

Important: Certain days might alter, there is always a small chance that something might come up.

Do you have pre-WotLK raiding experience, if so what?

No (not at level 60-70, wasn’t playing back then).

What 10 man and 25 man Ulduar bosses have you cleared and of which out of those bosses have you done on hard mode?

Total WoTLK experience: Everything except the following:
- Yogg 1 Light and Alone in the darkness (I have done the encounter)
- Anub'arak heroic (25) (I have done the encounter, many times...)
- Lich King (25)
- ICC heroic modes (10 and 25)

WWS report: This log shows the last ICC 25 run I've done: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/5utb292c0bljn1zv/sum/damageDone/

Character specific questions:

Explain your current gear choices and how you hope to improve then in the future.

My talent-setup mostly depend on the stats my pieces of gear offer me (ex: more or less points in focus aim) and other situations (ex: do other classes bring Trueshot aura yes or no).Prior: Agility (+AP/crit/Armpen/Reach hit cap).
I "avoid": Haste, too much hit, seems logical…

I want to keep my hit under 5-6%, since there are points enough to invest in focused aim.
At the moment, I’m still stacking agility. I will regem to full armor penetration soon. So far, I’m able to get up to around 75% unbuffed. From calculations made at http://www.femaledwarf.com (hunter dps analyzer) it seems the agility setup is still proving to be a bit better.

Comment on how you’ve chosen to gem and enchant your character, and why you have chosen these gems/enchants.

Full agility: All +20/34 agility gems, except for the pieces that have socket bonuses worth putting in an orange gem. Also always grab the best bonus possible with the +10 stats gem.
Full armor pen: No more orange gems here (except for one to get the meta gem bonus).
Note: If I would be asked to regem right away, this would be no problem.

What glyphs are you using and why?

Major:
MM: Serpent Sting, steady shot, Kill shot, Chimera shot (Kill shot proves to be slightly better, I alter between the last 3 depending on the encounters).

SV: Serpent sting, Steady shot, Kill shot (due the high crit nowadays, it is wise to take kill shot over the explosive shot glyph).

Minor: Mend pet, revive pet, and feign dead (for both MM and SV).

Do you have any notable offspec gear and are you experience/up to date with the mechanics of playing your offspecs?

Ice resistance gear from Naxxramas days and some pvp stuff.

We require you to have at least one crafting profession (not engineering). If you have two gathering professions, would you be prepared to reroll one?

I have 2 raiding professions.

General questions

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?

Ancient Raiders: First raiding guild, disbanned
Pwnies: Kicked due mass reorganization
Casual Raiding: Certain people not taking it seriously enough
Blood and Tears: Stopped raiding

What role do you feel you provide in a raid and what areas of strengths do you feel your class and spec has over others?

Roles: Misdirection, de-enrage, ranged tasks, raid wide mana regen in SV, pet can be used to keep orbs up in the air on Blood Princes, ect...
Gear: Low lvl wrist, need a solid trinket. Looking for a bit more armor penetration so I can finally reroll and gem full armor penetration.
Spec: One more talent point would make my life much easier.
Raids: A dead pet means loss of dps, avoid viper (turn it on between phases for example)

What 1 thing would you change about your class if you could?

At the moment, nothing, but I’m very upset with the upcoming Cataclysm changes, don’t like the focus change fun hunters.
It’s a shame that the BM tree is dead as well..

What do you think you can add to Eternals?

My classroll, which means doing a lot of damage.
Being friendly and helpful, and always up for a chat/laugh on vent.

What do you think Eternals can do for you?

As you might’ve heard, Blood and Tears stopped being a raiding guild. I met a lot of amazing people there and I consider them as good friends. I do wish to continue raiding and am looking for a guild that is at least as good. I want to go forward, not backward: I'm convinced Eternals can offer me this.

Personal infomation; Name, age, where you live, interests/hobbies, Job and family that will nag you to stop raiding?

Name: Jens
Age: 20
Place: Belgium
Intrest/Hobbies: Friends, family, gf, music, guitars, hanging out, lan-parties, mmo’s, my studies (in IT), soccer, tennis, other sports, meeting new people and wiping all night! : )

Additional information which you would like to name?

I’m a social person. I've been playing this game for about 1.5years, started to raid seriously about 1 year ago. As you might have noticed this since I do not have a lot of pre-wotlk raiding experience but have killed near everything during wotlk (icc 10: 12/12, icc 25: 11/12).
I don’t know anyone in Eternals I’m afraid, but I noticed Meo and Ishken applied here as well, I’ve raided with both of them and they’re great guys. It would be awesome to do it again!

Other extras about my gameplay:

A small video I made from my POV (ages ago though), you might like it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mebx-XdWQpg

Ps: my character name was still Shikary back then, as you might've noticed, I changed names.
I have my own UI: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info15485-SassaUI.html

Speed/Hotkeys:

This is the mouse I use and the hotkeys I bind to it. It has improved my gameplay a lot so I find it worth mentioning.

Other keys are standard.

Macro's:

These are the macro’s I’m using at the moment, might be useful for the class leader to know.
I use about 10-15 marco’s. Some of them are to improve my raid performance, while other are just handy/save button space.

1 Button Feed Pet:

#showtooltip Feed Pet
/cast Feed Pet
/use (Your food’s name here)

Example:
#showtooltip Feed Pet
/cast Feed Pet
/use Mead Basted Caribou

1 Buttons Food+Drink:

/use Mead Basted Caribou
/use Honeymint Tea

(just rename to the food/water you’re using, saves a button).

1 Button Misdirection (to focus):

#showtooltip Misdirection
/focus target=focus. noexists pet
/cast target=focus Misdirection

1 Button Misdirection (not using focus):

/target pet
/cast misdirection

1 Button Melee:

#show Mongoose Bite
#showtooltip Mongoose Bite
/cast Raptor Strike(Rank 9)
/cast Mongoose Bite(Rank 5)

Now, for the more important macro’s:

Shots: These are all based on keeping skills like Silencing shot and Kill Command spammed (if it does not conflict with an interrupt order).

Chimera Shot:

#showtooltip chimera shot
#show chimera shot
/cast [target=pettarget,exists] kill command
/cast chimera shot

Thanks a lot for reading my application!
Regards, Sassa

Nice application, although reading on your application to Lost, you commented that you vary from week to week about your availability to raid, however on our raid times you've put your able to attend all of them. We leave fridays and saturdays to 10mans as a free-lance for whomever may be interested but obviously our main concern is your availability to raid the sunday - thursday.

No doubt beaker will review your app shortly, Good luck

Yes, I got a little bit confused at Lost, since they keep fridays and saturdays free. At first I thought they raided every day. Therefore I explained my signups would vary (referring to fridays and saturdays).
Looking at the minimum requirements of 4-5 night a week here, I can assure you this will not be a problem. : )

Sassa

Edit: I hope you don't mind I copy-pasted a lot from my previous application, a lot of questions are similar.

hi I'll review and get back to you when armory is back up (site is down at moment).

Hi Beaker, thanks for your reply.
Yes, the armory has been acting weird all day.

Regards,
Sassa

Important edit!
ICC 25: 9/12 - Recall I was not present for the kill in the 25man version (there was only one, after that, the guild started to fall apart). I do know all encounters though.

Regards,
Sassa

Can I please put this application on hold until further notice please?

Regards,
Sassa

ok no prob
