Required Questions
01. Please give the name, class and spec of the character that you would like to have as your main in Unleashed. Are there other specs that you would consider raiding with on this character?
80 Night Elf Fury Warrior named Elbowgrease that is willing to tank when needed however my tank set is not as good as my dps set.
02. Please give the names, classes and specs of any alts that you would like to bring into the guild. Are there other specs you would like to play with these characters other than thier main specs?
I have a shadow priest alt on steamwheedle that I would like to bring over to this server eventually. She is shadow/holy and currently 11/12 in ICC
03. What are your constraints that limit the time you spend playing WoW?
I work most days in my home office as a broker till about 6pm server. Outside of that I am usually free with no restrictions
04. If you are invited to join Unleashed, will you commit to making all of our scheduled 25man raids while you are a recruit? If not, please explain.
I will make all the raids I get an invite to.
05. What is your raiding experience? What did you raid at level 60? 70? 80? What characters and specs did you raid on? Please give details about each level of experience.
I did not raid at level 60, started when BC was released. I was mainly a protection warrior in BC and raided everything through black temple with a small side of shadow priest action. Since level 80 I have raided 11/12 in icc but i did not play after the expansion for a while as i moved to Puerto Rico. I have done ulduar and toc and togc and geared both my toons fairly well even though I was a late starter in the wrath expansion. My priest has been my main until now though. Her name is Myocardium if you want to check achievements etc... (guild symbiosis, server steamwheedle cartel)
06. Please list your current and former guilds and your reasons for leaving. What roles did you play in them?
Symbiosis-steamwheedle cartel, I was a "class leader" in this guild and was the top shadow priest on server for a long time. I left the guild because my little brothers play on this server and I want to be able to play with them when I am not raiding with my guild.
07. What do you do in WoW when you're not raiding?
If I am not raiding and I am online I am usually farming heroics for badges while farming for ore/eternals or I spend time with my little brothers but they do not take the game seriously as they are very young so that is mostly conversation with them while I run them through the lowbe dungeons
08. How will our raid benefit from having you in it? What are your particular strengths? What are your goals? In what ways are you currently improving your game?
I think your raid would benefit from my attendance because I am punctual and competent meaning I will not cry about anything and I will always study all fights prior to the encounter as well as come prepared with my own flasks/food etc. I am a good dps you never have to worry about. I show up on time and react quickly after a wipe to get back in position for the next attempt. My goal is to find a note worthy guild that has opportunity for a player such as my self to be part of their raid and is working towards clearing icc25 heroic mode. Right now I am just saving badges to buy all my badge gear and craftable's as that is what is in my direct control. The only other thing I can do to hone my skills or increase my performance is find a guild to run with so I can have the experience and a chance a loot.
09. How will you get better as a player while you are with Unleashed?
Considering your progression as a guild (it being better then my previous guilds) I only have a few options to get better. Talk to any more experienced warriors to see if their is any small thing I can change that I have not picked up already from how to vids or sites like elitest. accept advice and or hope that anyone whom may have advice is not to shy to give it. Outside of that it is keep up to date on all class changes and play while working on gear.
10. Please explain why you are a good fit for Unleashed. Why do you want to join? Why will we be glad you did? Anything else you would like to add or mention that will put you in a favorable light?
When I take a look at a raiding guilds setup it is a lot about balance. I am not sure if my class is needed for your raids so to say I will be great for your guild would only be a guess. What I can tell you is I am a very solid player as in I do try to play my class to the best of that class's abilities. I believe that kind of dedication to your toon is what you are looking for. I want to join unleashed because I have never experienced a guild that had a good amount of success in 25's in wrath and not just 10's. I am new to the server and would like to take a step forward with my raiding experience vs be stuck in the same spot or it be a set back. I think you will be glad to have me if you have an opening because I am a extremely nice guy and I am very rarely ever disliked. One thing you should know is back in BC i was a competent raid leader that took my team through end game content. In my opinion end game for BC was much more challenging then what wrath has to offer. I feel that if I can handle this then there is no reason I can not play a melee class to the best of its abilities and work on progression with a team of competent people with the games current content. I have already seen all the fights through the lich in 10 and hopefully soon I will have lich down as well.

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
A very competent application.  I do have two questions though.  First, why are you using nightmare tear and a sovereign when the whole purpose of the relentless meta is to only require one blue gem?  Secondly, you appear to be roughly 100 hit rating under hit cap, and nearly 100 over expertise rating cap.  Have you considered citadel enforcers claymore from 10 marrowgar instead of one of your axes?  That would solve your issue in a single swap.

Rather minor issues, simply solved, and likely with reasonable explanations.  I approve.

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
I saw him in dalaran and after talking to him a bit and checking his gear, i asked him to app. to the guild. I hope he joins, he will be a nice addition to us.

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
Hi Elbowgrease.  Thanks for applying to Unleashed and for taking the time to make the app worth reading.  I have a few questions in addition to those from Plaguemourne.  Would you be able to spec arms if it were needed?  What's your tanking experience at 80 on this character?  Could you provide a picture of your UI?  What are your latency and framerate in Dal?  Do you ever have connection issues, if so what are they and how frequent?  

Often, our raids are full and we have more than 25 people to fill the limited spots.  We are always able to get new recruits into raids before very long, if they show up consistently and don't disappear as soon as they don't get a spot at the beginning of the raid.  It's understandable that many people don't want to wait around on a waitlist, but in order to get a raid spot in this guild right now, that's what it will take.  Once you get into some raids, your performance and our raid comp needs will begin to determine your prio for raid spots.  So, how do you feel about this?

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
Actually he is at the hit cap b/c he has 3/3 Precision Increasing his hit rating by 3. A better question is why is he is using an ArmorPen proc trinket when he is at the ArmorPen cap.
80
Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
He is hit cappedand expertise capped by a ways, and only 32 away from crit cap with the current setup. Still nearly 20% from ArP hard cap. Swapping out that ArP trinket for a DV and working for more ArP is really the only upgrade that could happen here.
80
Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
hmmI must have been missed informed. I was under the impression that ArP cap was 1200 but still a very strong app imo.

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
Sry for the late response as I did not realize you were responding to me in the forums as the app said I would receive a private message so I have been just checking the mail.

As of right now i need one trinket which will come out of ICC so its kind of a wait period till I get priority on its drop. Outside of that the only thing wrong with my gear and or spec is I have one extra blue gem which will be replaced when I buy my new helm soon. The helm I have is a Palli helm and worthless for a warrior with or with out the gem but its holding me over. That being said, based on the content I have had the availability to see on this toon my gear is on par and headed in the right direction. I am hit capped and yes I am a little over the expertise cap of 26 but all I can do about this currently is raid and work towards new pieces that have less expertise.

So to answer the other questions: Yes I am able to spec arms but I will have you know I have not read up on arms at all nor have I ever been. That being said it would be a new rotation to get used to and a small learning experience for me. From what I have read fury does have a higher damage output and better threat reduction that arms does not have. My tanking experience so far in icc is everything through putracide in 10 and 25 but nothing beyond her. Of course i have tanked toc10/25 and ulduar 10/25 now and then but tanking has been my off spec since wrath was released. In BC all i did was tank. Right now I am in Dal and my latency is 126 and my fps is only 18 but when I am in a raid dungeon it is much better considering it is more based on tangible items on screen then anything else. What I mean to say is most lag is from video cards in dal because there are so many moving interactable objects on screen and you have only 25 +add/boss in raid vs 100+ people running around. I have connection issues some once or twice a year but it is usually on the end of my internet provider but again it is rare. Normally I am able to log on and play with no issues and I can not remember my last DC. 

So I am not sure i have ever seen a successful guild that did not have a wait list. I understand I will need to work for my spot in the raid by showing up and performing. This is for the most part typical a cross the board for performing raiding guilds. In the mean time out side of 25's I would hope to be able to find some to run 10's with so I can at least work on my gear and performance when I can not join the group for 25's though. So again I am ok with not raiding 25's every week and being on a wait list. That is as long as I am not always benched. 

As far as my UI goes I am almost 100% keybindings so I do not have hardly anything on my screen other then dbm warning, raid frames and my damage meter. But below is a link to my UI picture:




If you have any other questions feel free to ask

TY

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
I don't actually know the numbers for caps and such. I just plug in a character to Landsoul spreadsheet and it instantly says how far from each cap you are and what stat benefits your dps the most with your current gear :D

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
So what is the next step for me to try to get into this guild?

Re: Application: Elbowgrease, 80 Warrior
Please contact me in game so we can talk.
