How did you hear about us? guild ranking forum, trade


What aspect(s) of the game is your main focus?raiding


Have you read and understood our guild charter? Any comments regarding it?
yes. short and sweet. well written

What is your interest in joining Exodus, and why do you believe you're a good candidate?I transferred from a raiding guild that had become very negetive and no longer fun. I thought I would like a social guild and liked how bad karma gave away meccano hogs. I find I really miss good raiding. I want to get into a more professional raid atmosphere. I want to continue to progress.


Are there any Exodus members you know who can speak on your behalf?Have pugged with a couple but I doubt they remember me, so no.


Have you been in any other guilds on Cairne?bad karma


Have you ever leveled other characters to 80? lvled cocoa from 70 to 80, but no other alts.


Can your system handle 25-man raiding reliably?yes


What kind of raid/end game experience do you have (be specific)?

ICC 25 kingslayer and 8/12 HM ICC 10 8/10 normal
What is your play schedule like? Can you consistently meet our 25-man raid times?
I can play 7 nights a week

Any other comments? Thank you for your consideration. My grown daughter is also applying on her pally and priest (summersett).

*With all the changes to boomkins are you comfortable with your class and its rotation?
*What is your base dps rotation for a boss?
*With the buff in ICC executing the mechanics of a fight and not watching meters are of paramount importance for our dps. How well are you able to listen, follow direction, and execute mechanics?
*Off-specs are also a big part of our raiding, what is your off-spec and do you consider it a viable option if we need you to switch back and forth?

Thanks!

Am I comfortable with my rotation? I learn by doing. I haven't had much opportunity to practice in a raid situation. I have done 5 mans, Wintergrasp, and some bgs. I have read elitist jerks and basically understand the rotation. I have used it in a 10 man ICC and in Naxx. I am finding it very difficult to really develop into a comfort zone because of aggro issues. The tanks that I have run with are not as well geared so I cannot fully utilize all my power without dying.

My base rotation: (no shadow priest in raid) FF, MF, IS, starsurge (use everytime cd is up especially during a shooting star proc) look to see which eclipse is active or closest to active. If at 0 its starfire till solar proc, then wrath till lunar procs... try to use starfall during lunar, use treants during bloodlust or immediately if time will allow for both... keep dots up always.

Some mechanics scare me... bloodqueen and that stupid bite that never seems to work just right... but I don't stand in fire, or maleable goo, and watch out for ghosts. I watch Utube to see what is needed in a boss fight. I am not always perfect at getting the mechanics right but I do work hard at doing a good job. Being a teacher, I understand the importance of active listening and following directions. If I am not doing something correctly, I try to correct my mistake once I realize I need to change. Having someone who is more skilled giving me pointers, has been very helpful and made a big difference in my perfomance.

Off-specs: I used to have a viable tree spec, but not well geared. I have had very little experience but have switched back and forth between dps and healing a few times. I haven't even set up the healing spec since the patch. I would do so if I was needed, gladly. I enjoy pvp and would like to branch out more in that directtion. But raiding is my main love and I will do whatever is needed to be a valued raid member.

a boomchicken would be a nice add to our raid makeup i see u said u can raid 7 nights a week ...thats awsome! i highly enjoyed your reply to jax it was indepth and no bullshit ..a viable offspec would be a plus as \far as skill goes , gear will come ...a certin amount of gear level is requiered to do any good but will be an offspec roll for u so u will acumulate gear easily and fast enough if u become a member. i like what i see in both u and sumer's app and would suport the acceptance of the 2 of u holeheartedly and with great expectations! and hopfully no regrets.

ty for the nice reply

and ok so i'm off to moonglade to set up my tree

Thank-you for taking the time to apply to Exodus. Please get with an officer in-game for an invite.

Woot! Thank you. And Lynx I will do my best to keep those regrets away!
