Example Applications and Application Tips

//Please note that the examples here are using an old format.//


Class: Protection Warrior
Race: Human - <3 perception
Level at time of application: 70
Played Time on your character: I dunno like 200 days I think or slightly more, I don't check often as It makes me feel bad.
Professions and level of professions: LW/350 (to use drums) - BS/375 (I thought would be best for warrior but now it's kept as I hold alot of valuable recipes for the guild)
Do you have a stable internet connection (Yes/No and average MS in raids): Mostly it is pretty stable. The patch has made it weird at times, but everyone seems to be getting that.

How soon after release are you aiming to be level 80 and how are you going to achieve this? (I.E. booked a week off work, cleared your evening commitments for 2 weeks, out of work)

--I'm currently out of work and I'm a little bit addicted so I can't give a time for level as I don't know the scale but I'm going to be playing 10 hours plus a day untill I reach level 80 or I reach exhaustion.



What other characters will you level to 80?

--I have a Shaman and Lock at level 70 but the lock isn't of importance to me atm but eventually will get him up. I figure I will miss alot of cool quests and storylines on Rigsby so it will be good to see all the stuff I missed at a casual pace later on. Tightbriefs (my Shaman) I will level as quickly as possible after Rigsby and he will be resto.

General questions

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?
Remember this can checked

--Tempest - This was a very very long time ago and I left due to the fact I had reached my limits within the guild and wanted to test myself more.
--Sanity - This was the first guild I made and it had to be disbanded to form a new guild, Eternals.


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?

--I feel that prot warriors provide a strong single target boss tank. We have alot of skills based around single target tanking which was boosted by some very good changes to help us AoE tank a bit with the recent patch. I think an advantage over other tanks would be we provide the sunder armour debuff to a boss. Although this skill alone can be performed by other spec warriors (and even rogues) it is our "bread and butter" move which we use for threat and is a better use to raid DPS that the tank peform it.

--A huge thing we bring to the table is improved thunderclap. It is a massive decrease on damage that a boss will do to a tank in comparrison to other things there are. It also now affects all hostiles within range and not just 4 making it an awesome tool for AoE tanking as well as damage reduction. You can combine this with demo shout (specced in improved if needed and no DPS warrior in the raid to do it) and further reducing damage taken without taking up a warlocks curse.

--Among other things we bring to the raid is Commanding shout. 1 Warrior can now buff a raid with it giving over 1k extra health to all. This is boosted with the T6 2set bonus.

--Other great skills we have are: Vigilence, Spell reflect, Intervene, Shield wall and Last stand. These skill help us to increase our threat (while reducing threat on the highest threat DPSers and reducing damage they take) and help us to lower the damage we take increasing our surviability.



In WotLK; what changes will you make to your spec and how do you feel the talent changes in WotLK will affect you most?

--By WotLK I hope you mean the changes in 3.0.2. The changes I have made since the patch have been quite huge. Warriors (as a few other classes) have had alot of changes made to them. The biggest thing that happened to warriors is our increase in threat and our AoE abilities. Luckily the changes are in such a way that a really good raiding spec can be achieved.

--ATM in my spec I havn't used any "rage cost" decreasing talents as I was tanking SWP and on bosses had no problems with rage so went for more useful talents. Come WotLK with the extra 10 talent points I will be able to spend all these in the "rage cost" decreasing talents and be able to perform better in lower rage conditions. The extra points are exact so that I won't lose any of what I believe to be important talents for tanking.

--My WotLK talent build: http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=LiZhxZVItrgczVdI0sGo --I would like to say this is only a general build and given different bosses I will spec accordingly
(this is liable to change with level 80 experimenting and if ofc blizzard changes things)



Name 1 thing you feel has been changed negatively regarding your class in the expansion? (if you can't then say why you can't)

--Hmmm, I'm usually quite good at moaning when it comes to change but they havn't done alot wrong for us this patch. If I struggled to think of 1 time where a change has had a negative impact would be intervening on Illidan for enrages as the new intervene reduces the targets threat by 10% also, but as a whole thats a good change! Damn you blizz for making it too hard to apply for Eternals!



What do you think you can add to Eternals?


--I am flexible and adaptable as a person. I always prepare for a raid bar a couple of times. I make sure I know a boss before I go and do it. I can have a laugh and joke on vent and in guild chat. As a player I always try to do my best, if I feel I am underperforming I want to find out why and fix it, this can invole surfing the net for answers or asking the opinions of other.


What do you think Eternals can do for you?

--Raid spots and security within the guild. I want to know that aslong as I perform and sign up to raids that I will get them instead of the GMs mate in greens. I also like the idea of being in an established guild which has players that have performed well before and can help me to be a better player.



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

--My names Daniel, I'm 19 and live in London (UK) with my parents.
--I've started going to the gym latly but other than that my only real hobby is WoW.
--I don't have a job and my family generally leave me alone, I don't get nagged off WOW

General questions

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?
Remember this can checked

Rare Blood: Was to high lvl for that guild,
Azeroth Alliance: Was to high lvl for that guild,
Tempest: Started raiding Kara with them. Then some disagreement with GM made almost all lvl70 quit and form:
Sanity: Again some crap with GM's and new guild was formed:
Eternals: Best guild on the server.

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?

My role in raids is to try and keep mobs on me instead of oin healers and dps classes. If the healers are up for it they can heal me, if not I release and run back.
Warriors are now able to tank multiple targets and make a bunch of TPS. This way mobs will go down faster. And raids can go quicker.

In WotLK; what changes will you make to your spec and how do you feel the talent changes in WotLK will affect you most?

As I said above: being able to tank more then one mob and making alot more TPS.

I haven't really been into specs atm, as I recently moved houses and was very busy with that.

Have had little mote time now and I would go for something like this Prot build

Name 1 thing you feel has been changed negatively regarding your class in the expansion? (if you can't then say why you can't)

Warriors got nerfed?

What do you think you can add to Eternals?

I'm a relaxed player who rarely QQ's. I also don't care about loot, but offcourse it's fun to once in a while get a new upgrade. My English is ok, at least the island inhabitants from the UK can understand me on ventrilo. Supplying everyone with gems seems to be part of my job. That is if they are willing to pay me my 1 copper cutting fee.

What do you think Eternals can do for you?

Take me to all the new dungeons I want to see, and with the most fun players on the server. Keeping me from afk-ing in Shat (or whatever the new town if gonne be).

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

My name is Juan and I'm from The Netherlands (Nijmegen). I'm a 31 year old male who has a nice girlfriend with who he just bought a nice house. My job is to help people with their computer/software.

General questions

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?Remember this can checked--Tempest -Began raiding here, went on holiday for a week came back to find all the "hardcore"cough raiders had left to start a new guild called sanity.
--Sanity - Joined Sanity and continued raiding here in the end pushed for a new guild and between a few of us we decided to create Eternals.
--Eternals - And now im applying for a guild im an officer in. hmmmm.

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?

--Ok im a boomkin were to start, at 70 so far ive seen that mana issues are no longer are a problem and aggro issues on aboss are not either, while a boomkin can put out steady impressive dps normally top out of all casters (nerf melee) with some of the best aoe and the buffs we supply we are a much needed requirement in any raid. Were to start....

--Well first better start with the obvious moonkin form ( 5% spell crit + 3% spell haste) when spec'd correctly is a very sweet buff and well means we dont have to take an ele shaman to raid right? Also the armour buff we gain yer thats right armour we are hard!

--The next buff i will bring to the raid is Imp faerie fire (3% spell hit for the whole raid) sweet little debuff stacks with many others fom other classes making it much needed in many situtations, hopefully spell casters will take advantage of this neat buff and lose some spell hit while im raiding.

--Earth and moon( 13% increased arcane,nature,shadow,fire,frost ) pretty much same as curse of elements + malediction but mine is applied through using my spammed skills and also accounts for nature damage, meaning locks can be used for recklessness and doom or w/e is more needed of them( agony in wotlk? ).

--The final buff(debuff) i would bring to the raid is Insect swarm, (3% miss chance) - Decreasing boss'es hit chance means less healing meaning easier kills!


In WotLK; what changes will you make to your spec and how do you feel the talent changes in WotLK will affect you most?
--Well atm ive been sticking with a build all points into boomkin as my level 70 build but in wrath depending on what mana/threat is like i mayb able to move and collect more things from the resto tree also i havent been specing into AOE talents and Eclipse as on a single target they are somewhat of a dps nerf and eclipse is just not worth it. Atm im personally thinking along the lines of something like this with more aoe skills aslong as aggro and mana stay similar to the level 70 version.

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=0gMbuVIsAdGVzMuZMxczb

Earth and moon is reduced to a 3 point talent on the beta realms this is why ive only spent 3 points.



Name 1 thing you feel has been changed negatively regarding your class in the expansion? (if you can't then say why you can't)
--They nerfed boomkin armour
On a serious note resto pvp in my eyes has been ruined not tried it since patch but witht the OP retadins in greens around i dont feel like trying too much



What do you think you can add to Eternals?
--- I can take a lot of stick and actually want to be criticise, and do alot better when under a pressure. I also strive to be number 1 because seriously who cares if ur number 2?


What do you think Eternals can do for you?
--Well, im hoping that i can progress far with eternals and work towards being better than we were before thats what i personally really want i dont really care much for loot its a plus but im not going to gquit or qq about someone else getting because im hoping eternals can offer me somewhere were everyone in the raid deserves it.


Personal infomation; Name, age, where you live, interests/hobbies, Job and family that will nag you to stop raiding?
--My names matthew, I'm 16 and live in a place callled Leigh which is near wigan(ish)
--I attend winstanely college in "insert area name" cant remember
--I dont have a job but i do have GF but dont see her during the week too much as we go to different colleges thats why my raid times at weekends may be shorter.
