How long have you played WoW:
I have played WoW since 2008 so around the 5 year mark, As soon as I joined this online computer game I was hooked and with a couple of breaks have not stopped playing since. As soon as I was 12 I got the game ( after convincing my parents to let me get it since the label clearly says 12 + )

How long have you played your class:
I have played Balance Druid for around 4 years because to start with I played hunter but after deciding the shape-shifting druid was for me I made the change for good. Over this time I have collected a lot of experience in all specs of druids but balance stuck as my strong favorite.

How long have you played your current spec:
So I have played a bit of balance ever since I started playing druid, I mained it during dragon soul content and MoP. But before that I was swopping between restro and balance. But as my main spec, I have been balance for around 2 years plus.

If asked, would you change your spec:
I wouldn't be too keen on it because I know my current spec extremely well and consider myself a good balance druid. However if it was the correct guild and situation I can consider swopping to restro since I do have exp with this spec in higher level raiding and often do use it as an off-spec for some fights when required.

Why did you choose the glyphs you use:
So im just going to talk about my major glyphs, I use both stampeding glyphs for raid utility for such fights as garrosh when moving between stacking points for axe. These roar glyphs increase its radius and allow me to use it in boomy form. Now my 3rd major glyph is the 50% slow when using hurricane, I just find this comes in useful on fights with adds needing kiting ect.

Why did you choose the talents you use:
Displacer beast - Allows great movement around a boss fight for me and works with my play style well
Ysera's Gift - Its a nice constant passive heal throughout fights
Typhoon - This is a vital ability in my eyes for certain mechanics, Such as knocking adds into the fire ball on garrosh to kill them
Incarnation - I macro this with my celestial alignment to create a strong burst dps increase
Ursol's Vortex - For add control mainly for again garrosh as an example, the last phase when a tank kites the add's, its can really help out
Heart of the wild - I macro this with my tranq which can provide a strong healing cd for the raid and for me has personally prevented a lot of wipes

Why did you reforge the way you did:
So I use a program called MrRobot which I use to optimize my gear. I place in the "weights I want to keep" so for example I set haste to 10300 and hit to 15%. Then the rest stack that crit  

Why did you gem the way you did:
I use the same process for my gems as I do reforging so the above website, MrRobot covers all gems,chants and forging Its really good because it would take a lot of calculations to get the same optimization that it does, so really im lazy

Why did you choose the professions you have:
JC - I have this to make gold The increased JC gems are niced but I really only got it to prospect ore and earn a profit
But also the gems I make I often offer to guildies free of charge during raids to speed up socketing new gear they obtain.
Alchemey - I use to make flasks for profit but they kind of dropped in price, now I just us it along side jc for primal diamonds ( im a transmute master ) but when required I make flasks for people if they need
If you're benched for a fight, is this okay with you:
That would be fine for me because of course we all want to progress, and if pulling in a new set-up allows a first kill then I am all for it, Ofc I would want to come back in for the farm kills and the rest of progression. 

Can you make all our raid days:
yes I can make your raid days they suit me very well and would have no problem joining you for each one. Ofc as im sure you can understand sometimes things do pop up which are unavoidable and im sure you understand this.

Any notable guilds you have been a part of:
Before it crashed Meticulous was the guild I was in, I think we reached rank 67 or something like that on Kazzak. Which I was proud of, When I was alliance of Emerald Dream I was in a guild called Chi and I think they where high up on the realm, How high im not sure Sorry about that but DS was along time ago for me

Do you have a mic:
yes I have a working mic so i'll be able to bug you in raids But no I do find it important all are able to communicate and make calls during fights

Do you talk during fights (say if you have a DoT/other mechanic we need to be aware of):
Ofc that's the idea of having a mic Improve the flow of mechanics by communicating correctly is key to a kill in my eyes.

We often joke with each other, so the tone might sound harsh if we wipe, is this okay with you:
Im always up for a laugh but at the same time if there is a silly error made time after time I understand that you may get annoyed and need to apply a serious tone to the situation

Do you click your abilities, or do you have them keybound:
No im not a "clicker" I do use keybinds for all of my spells which I find very important, it did take me a while getting use to binds but once I got it there was no going back, I saw such an improvement in my own play and dps.

When are you usually online:
so I live in England, so talking UK time, im on most evenings from around 4 onwards intill around 10. Weekends I am often on unless I have something else planned during the day. However if I sign for a raid day I will make that raid day, unless I have a sudden problem I will try and let you know asap.

On Joining Us
First and most importantly I want to make a good impression and show I am a good player. To achieve this i'll turn up to raids on time and always be someone to talk to in /g But also I am here to progess so I will be pushing progress and getting these hc bosses down

Why do you want to join us:
Your guild currently has heroic kills which is what im looking for now My old guild grumbled as they often do due to people falling out over silly things, so after starting hc progress with them I have a taste for more I find normal too easy now, I know the tacs and its not a challenge. Hc is currently a challenge to me and I like that.

How can we benefit from having you:
I am a great raider, even if I do say so myself And pull the dps required for all fights I believe. I know how the maximize the chances for a kill, for example, a lot of people tunnel there deeps on bosses, however if I see I need to tranq but no one has called it, i'll do it, And often I might throw some rejuvs up to help healers, while still holding nice dps. So I would be a strong member for your team

Do you know anyone in the guild:
Currently I don't but I would hope If accepted I can get to know all of you and become part of your guild family

Anything you wish to ask us:
Now your putting me on the spot I don't have anything to ask as of now, but if something springs to mind I will be sure to ask you
