How did you hear about us?
From several real life friends that know of Exodus on Cairne as a highly respected and known guild.

What aspect(s) of the game is your main focus?
Raiding (normal/heroic/achieve's), Battlegrounds, Arena, and casual end-game quests/instances.

Have you read and understood our guild charter? Any comments regarding it?
I can relate a great deal to what you stand for and your guiding principles. I am an active duty military member and conduct myself in a very mature and professional manner, but know how to have fun as well. Earning respect and maintaining it are paramount goals I understand completely.

What is your interest in joining Exodus, and why do you believe you're a good candidate?
My reasons for joining are because I feel that I can bring an element to the guild that would build upon your successes and strengthen your core force. I have experience with previous high-end guilds over my 5 years of playing WoW and have always enjoyed the attitude towards playing as Exodus seems to express. My only expectations center on allowing me to earn respect amongst the guild and to prove my capabilities as a sound advantage among your ranks.

Are there any Exodus members you know who can speak on your behalf?
None at the moment because I am a recent transfer.

Have you been in any other guilds on Cairne?
No, I have not.

Have you ever leveled other characters to 80?
No, however, I do plan on bringing my 72 hunter up and a goblin caster when Cataclysm goes live.

Can your system handle 25-man raiding reliably?
My system is very reliable, in that, I have only a max lag of 200 ms with an average of 80-120. I have only crashed on patch days during the implementations of specific addons, otherwise, I have not had any problems.


What kind of raid/end game experience do you have (be specific)?
Even though it's not reflected in the Armory through achievements, for some reason, I have raided on my hunter every raid in Pre-BC through even Naxx (to only have reached the Four-Horsemen). During BC I was in a high-progression guild that pushed through all available content as it was released on live servers Pre-BC (only reaching M'uru on the hunter). Because the guild felt that it needed an enhancement shaman to continue progression, I leveled my shaman to 70 and helped the guild push through Kil'jaeden (again, not represented in Armory achieve's for some reason). When Wrath arrived I continued on with my shaman filling several roles through progress immediately (having completed Naxx fairly quickly as 10 and 25 man). We excelled through Ulduar to Yogg-Saron then began to work on the heroic elements/achieve's. However, shortly after, I had to deploy while serving in the Air Force and quit playing for an extended period of time. Over a year later, I returned (2 months ago) and began playing through content in order to build back up my gear and skill, this time as a healer. I now have experience healing and dps'ing through ToC 10/25 man, VoA 10/25, ICC 10/25. I have recently healed through every boss in ICC 10 (to include a LK kill) and through to Professor Putricide in ICC 25.

What is your play schedule like? Can you consistently meet our 25-man raid times?
For the most part, I can meet all required times. As for the nature of my active duty status, there are several days out of the month where I am required to travel, of which I am notified beforehand. I will not be deploying for 5 years, as my current occupation is a special duty. I have a family of 4 (daughter, son, my wife and I) and am very active with them. We have an arrangement that allows me to meet those specified times while spending time with them primarily.

Any other comments?
It would be worth noting that although I am requesting to be a member of your raiding element, should I be denied for that slot, I am absolutely willing to join as a casual member if only to participate with the guild and build upon bonds. Additionally, before you write me off as just another applicant, please consider that I am a devoted player always striving to better myself with the provided resources. You may see that Stunner has some PvP items equipped, however, they provide the highest capable stat increase given that I have only been able to find adequate PuG's capable of reaching the Professor in ICC 25. Once I am part of a successful raiding element, my PvE gear will reflect my knowledge of the class and distribution of stats. Also, please keep in mind that, as I have mentioned previously, I am professional in my own conduct yet I know how to have fun while enjoying the company of my guildmates and friends.

Great app, and thanks for doing what you do.

Nice app, and I second what Placate said: your service to us all is very much appreciated by myself and so many people you don't know. You do something that many of us are unable to do and for that, I thank you.

And Leserk, do not think for a minute I have forgotten you either, it has been awhile but thank you too sir!

Thank you very much. It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve. I only hope that my kids will understand the sacrifice I make for them when they're older.

I am curious, where you at and what are you doing?

@Jax Thanks man

I am currently stationed at Bolling AFB, working in Visual Information, but that's pretty much all that I'm allowed to say. I've been in the Air Force for almost 5 years and loving it. Yourself?

Pilot trainee at Whiting Field. That is pretty much all I am allowed to say

lol, very nice. My father (long line of military officers), was livid when he found out that I enlisted instead of commissioning. In about a year I plan to send up the package in hopes of working with the MC-12.

awsome app! its very ''clean'' i have a few questions .....I LOOKED AT YOUR GEAR AND STATS THEY LOOK GOOD 1]. how often do u use riptide on your primary healing target for chain heal ? 2]. now that there are elements from the elemental tree that can be used in part to compliment the resto tree witch do u use and why ? 3]. where do u see shamans fitting in in a raid atmospher when cata hits and what utilities will be considered the resto shamans bread and butter ?

Prelude to becoming 007 IMO!
