How old are you? Male or female?

I'm 25 years old, male, from Indianapolis.

What time zone are you in and what times do you normally play?

I live in EST, I usually play most nights for a few hours at a time.

What is your main character's name/level/race/class/spec/item level?

Repspins/Level 100/Dwarf/Monk/WW/ilvl 672

What raiding alts do you have? (include realm/name/level/race/class/spec)?

Repins/Level 100/Dwarf/Hunter/Survival and Marks/ilvl 557
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/alleria/Repins/advanced

What is your real ID? (Not necessary, although convenient for getting back to you, or getting ahold of you for alternate nights)



Are you currently in a guild? If so, name of current guild, how long have you been with them and why do you wish to leave?

Yes, Nouvel Riche. It's just a social guild and I'm interested in raiding again.

What are your game goals? Do you classify yourself as a casual raider, semi hardcore, or hardcore raider? Do you have any interest in PVP?

At one time I would have classified myself as a hardcore raider. 4 and 5 nights a week raiding with decent results. At this time I would classify myself as semi-hardcore. I still min/max to my characters potential but the potential is substantially different when I'm not currently seeing the max of end game content.

Please tell us about your experience raiding, instances/significant bosses cleared.

My raiding experience is pretty vast as I've been playing the game for a long time. I've done casual raiding up to pretty hardcore and I've gotten some cool achievements along the way from Champion of the Naaru and Hand of A'dal to Swift Alliance Steed for a perfect 10 man TOGC to I Can't Hear You Over the Sound of How Awesome I Am and perfect Ra'den. More detail is below.

I've been raiding since TBC. In TBC I was a casual raider, raiding enough to get Champion of the Naaru and Hand of A'dal but never downing Kil'jaeden even after the 30% 3.0 nerf.

In WOLTK I started getting slightly more serious. Some top 200 US 25 heroic kills, then some top 100, finally finishing with a US 60 heroic 25 Halion. At the time I was raiding with Void on Laughing Skull.

In Cata I started raiding pretty hardcore. As an alternate for Cutie's Only until we broke up and quite a few of us went to raid with Eternal Reign on Lightbringer. While with Eternal Reign I achieved quite a few top 20 heroic 25 kills in Firelands but eventually the 6 day progression schedule on Ragnaros just proved to be to much and I went to raid with Defenestrate who was on a strict three day schedule. Finished out the tier there with a disappointing top 75 heroic 25 man Ragnaros. Continued farming mounts for everyone and some of the personalities just didn't mesh well for me. I'm a big advocate for loot council but it has to be done right and officers dating players and subsequently everyone their dating getting first dibs at all loot, regardless of attendance or performance struck a nerve with me. So after we farmed everyone their mounts and the start of DS I went looking for a more adult guild where I wouldn't be frustrated by issues such as that.

I ended up finding and raiding with Elitist Jerks for the overwhelming majority of Dragon Soul progression and Mists. A new job made me not able to keep raiding with them and other than casually finding groups I pretty much stopped raiding. With Ion Hazzikostas as the raid leader of Elitist Jerks it was a new way to see raids. I was one of the youngest raiders with them in my early 20's with most people well into their professional careers. The added insight of the person who designed the encounters during progression was also very interesting. Raiding with Elitist Jerks was my ideal situation but unfortunately real life happened.

Please let us know a good time to review the gear you intend to begin raiding in. We use Armory for this, so just tell us when we can look at your gear, you don't need to be logged on.

Anytime, I'll continue to log off in my WW gear.

What roles are you skilled at raiding in? Tank, Heal, DPS? And are you interested in playing an Off-spec that could be helpful if needed?

I'm rather comfortable in any role. My tank set is 672, my healing set is somewhere in the 660's but my gear is more itemized for WW and Mist due to the multistrike. I'm not opposed to playing an Off-spec but I am opposed to making my off-spec my main spec. To elaborate on what I mean, I have no qualms going MW or BM when a fight calls for it or someone is absent, in fact I look forward to a situation like that occurring which is a reason I love monk. I do have a problem with turning my off-spec into my main spec as I do not enjoy BM or MW as much as WW.

How did you about us? WoW Recruiting Forums, word of mouth, etc.?

You're a moderately progressed guild with a three night schedule on my server. I was looking through Wowprogress and it seemed like you may be a good fit.

Anything else we need to know?

I talked to one of your recruiters in trade yesterday on my warlock but it seemed kind of like a social invite rather than an invite for someone looking to raid. This is my main and I decided I would be more formal about applying since raiding is what I want to do.


I'm fully aware, as I've been there myself, that recruiting in the middle of a tier sucks. If you bring me in on progression I'm a burden as the 10 item levels your core raiders have higher than me equates to about 6k dps currently (at least for my alt warlock 668 to 680 is about that big of a jump), that's excluding set bonuses that make that even more extreme. I do however feel that I could be an asset in a progression guild again. I don't mean to say that if I don't get thrown into Mythic progression I'll be upset, it's quite the opposite. If sitting for progression until the next tier is what's needed, I completely understand and am willing. In that same school of thought though, I would like to be given a chance outside of that mythic progression when it's presented.


Random other stuff, my computer is starting to get outdated but it's doing fine for wow still. I am currently running a 2500k at 4.3, 660ti, way to much memory and an SSD. Internet is typically pretty good, 20-25 ping to the server and 91.29 download/24.75 upload on the speedtest I just ran. As a perk of being in Elitist Jerks, the lead of itemization at Blizzard is also in the guild so typically if you complete a tier of raiding you get something random named after you and my hunter got a crappy BoE blue belt (http://www.wowhead.com/item=87503/repins-ammo-laden-belt)! I did record some with Elitist Jerks and Eternal Reign if you're interested in seeing my UI I raid with or anything else that can be seen from that. While those videos are now kind of old, my UI has stayed practically the same across all my characters with the exception being I've switched to cooldown swirl icons instead of bars for buffs/icds/cds, either way those are below if interested.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this and read over it, I know there's a lot of information. I really look forward to getting back into consistent raiding and I look forward to hearing what you might have to say.

Thanks,

Repins

Hey Repins,

Thanks for taking the time to put in the APP, I'm one of the melee officers in guild and will contact you in game. I just want to let you know.. We have solid core of 5-7 melee right now. two of witch are monks. So the competition is fierce to get into our core mythic group. But if you pull the #s and excel mechanically there will always be a spot for you.

Talking to Cithany today and they asked for logs. An LFR log is probably pretty worthless but it's maybe better than nothing: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kDd4JvWXtH3B6A8q#fight=5
