• What spec you'r playing and what you can tell us about it (inc. talents, glyphs, most important usage of your abilities)?:
  http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/tarren-mill/Damale/simple
  
  Currently I am playing Survival for most fights, I do change specs on Brackenspore Mythic currently. Whilst i am in Survival spec i use Thrill of the Hunt over Steady Focus, I tend to enjoy the procs more and it helps during multi target fights as spreading my Serpent Sting is cheaper and easier. Depending on the fight i will use 'Glaive Toss' for Single Target or 2 Targets, any more and i will choose 'Barrage' (for example Tectus/Imperator/Ko'ragh). Depending on the fight i will use Lone Wolf or Focusing Shot, I prefer using Lone Wolf on most fights due to the increased movement that it provides. With Focusing shot you are limited to movement due to the cast time where as with Lone Wolf you will use Steady Shot which gives you more of an opportunity to move. However on fights where you are stationary for long periods of time i will use Focusing Shot. Glyph wise i will use Pathfinding and Cheetah together. This is very beneficial for Brackenspore Mythic with the flamethrower. This is because i can use Cheetah to increase my movement speed and allow me to burn more moss. I use pathfinding for the increased movement speed.

• Share your guild history as well as reason for leaving them and your current guild ?:
  Current Guild:
  Eminence: This is the guild that i am currently in, I really love this guild and alot of the members that are in it. The reason that i am looking around for other guilds is currently because we are 2/7 Mythic and we are carrying some players that are not capable of mythic for a variety of reasons and nothing seems to be changing. For that reason alone i am not enjoying raids as we are going to a raid to wipe for 3 hours and not progress. I wish that the guild would make some major changes but with there not being any other good raiders are getting slightly fed up and it seems to be going downhill. This guild i have been with since Siege of Ogrimmar.
  
  Before MoP I was jumping guilds around quite alot due to disbanding. I was in Compromise but got no raiding done. I was in Deus Ex Machina also during MoP and Cataclysm on my Mage i think it was. Left due to raiding with other friends on a different realm.
  
  During WoTLK I was in a guild called The NuGen Reloaded and Just a Game, these were on Dragonblight and Mazrigos.
  
  During Vanilla i was in Defenders of the Night on Dragonblight.
  
• Describe your past/current raid experience:
  I know it may be slightly unbelievable however i played in Vanilla. I got into WoW as my father got me playing.
  
  I raided in Vanilla with my father and the guild doing Molten Core and Onyxia. I cannot remember if we attempted BWL or Ruins/Temple. I raided these on my Rogue.
  
  Burning Crusade: Karazhan/Gruul/Maggy/BT/Hyjal These were all raids that i have done on my rogue, clearing Karazhan and Gruul. Part way through BT and Hyjal before i stopped and also attempts on SWP.
  
  WoTLK: These raids i can remember more as i was older. I had cleared ICC HC upto Sindrogosa on my Rogue. Cleared Trial and Ulduar, Doing Ulduar with a couple of hardmodes (XT002/Council/Freya) However never actually got to kill Yoggy unfortunately. Also clearing Naxxramas and OS (3D)
  
  Cataclysm: Here i jumped mains quite frequently. I cleared all of T11 on my mage without Heroic. I then cleared Firelands and DragonSoul normal and heroic on my mage and then started playing my warrior aswell. I was raidleading during Firelands on my mage and part way through Dragonsoul. I cleared Firelands and Dragonsoul on Heroic with a different raiding team due to the fact that alot of raiders in my team had IRL issues and couldn't make many raids.
  
  During MoP i didn't do a massive deal of raiding until the end of the expansion. I began with doing MV and HoF on my mage and then moving to ToT. Unfortunately not clearing. I then moved onto my Hunter during SoO. I geared him up very fast to raid with a friend in there guild. I joined and geared him up clearing Heroic SoO upto Paragons and then killing Garrosh after the squish.
  
  Currently 2/7 Mythic in HM and looking forward to BRF
  
• Please list your alts via [url]LINK[/url]:

More Information..

• Raid times: Can you agree with our raid times 21:00 to 00:00 Server time (UTC+1 also Sunday for extra raids)?:
  wednesday, thursday, sunday, monday
  
• Teamspeak: Can you use, SPEAK and LISTEN to Teamspeak?:
  Yes
  
• You and us: Would you be willing to modify or change your spec to assist the guild?:
  Yes
  
• What our guild can benefit from your class and yourself as a player?:
  In game you will benefit from Lone Wolf on my class. This will provide you with any raid buff that you are missing. Hunters are also a good class at the moment DPS wise and they are good for many roles during HM. Spore Shooters. On Kargath i am able to soak 100% of his rush to give a high roar of the crowd. As a player i am very reliable and ensure i am raid ready before it starts and keep up on my garrison and enchants/professions.
  
• What is your attitude towards progress/what motivate you in WoW?:
  Currently in my situation i can show that my attitude towards progression is that i want to kill bosses. I do not mind wiping because without wiping there is no progression. However i prefer to actually be progressing if we are wiping. My motivation in WoW is to be a very good player at whatever class i play and role i do. I love competing with other DPS to try and top the meters and ensure I can play as best i can.
  
• Do you play outside raids or log only for them?:
  I have started to enjoy PvP on my hunter aswell as PvE. I also enjoy trying to gear my alts and making gold!
  
• Anything to add?:
  I am a person who is very easy to get along with and can take constructive criticism. I also like having a laugh with guildies but at the same time being serious when it comes to pulls and progression.

Hello Ryan
Thank you for your application.
We might be back to you soon with some questions and/or our decision.
Take care

Hello again, Ryan.
As you seems like long-term player, could you please make it easier for us to see your progression raiding history and therefore list for us what bosses/difficulty you had killed while such boss(es) was part of the current content?
Possibly with link to guild you were part of at that time (if you remember, not necessary info tho, but will helps us to have better overview) from wowprogress.

Example from myself:
Tier12: Heroic 6/7 (http://www.wowprogress.com/guild/eu/ara ... ing.tier12)
Tier14: Heroic 6/6 5/6 3/4 (http://www.wowprogress.com/guild/eu/ara ... ing.tier14) missed Empress due to vacation

Also if you could let us know what is your status on Lucky Double-Sided Coin trinket as you said you like to farm gold and this to be one of best trinkets available for hunters.

Sort of :)
Cheers
T.

Currently I have been hoping to get the lucky sided coin from my salvage yard, I feel that the Skull of War and Scales of Doom are very good trinkets and I have only just started making gold during the garrison and new expansion. I felt that with the new raid upcoming and better trinkets that will be on offer that there was not much need for the coin for the price that it goes for. I also felt that with out current guild progression that the Skulls would be fine as we weren't progressing much as it is.

I am going to see what the chances of getting the new trinket in BRF is and if there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel I am going to think about upgrading my Skull or purchasing the Coin. I also am waiting for my alt to collect War Paints so I can do an upgrading myself for nothing.

Tier 12:
http://www.wowprogress.com/guild/eu/xav ... ing.tier12
During Tier twelve I had joined the guild when they were already in heroic dragon soul, as I stated I was leading my own raid team in The NuGen Reloaded. This was when I managed to kill heroic raggy and get the mount when it was 100% \o/. When I began raiding with Deus was when they were killing heroic DS and I joined them for the clear of that. Also getting the mount at a 100% drop rate. Im also looking on then Enjin website and see that I was in a guild called Reminence. I think this was the guild I joined at the start of MoP when I didn't do a massive deal of raiding only clearing normal.

Cheers Ryan

Sadly this is not attitude I would require from members. You own desire should be getting best possible set of items, gems, enchant (some crafted items with 3/3 that are lacking Multistrike are far superior then heroic and some mythic items in Highmaul (and soon they can be upgraded to 680)). Waiting for loot to drop will never benefit you with loot as if everyone in raid would think the same, we would never had a single chance of progressing thru Highmaul.

My last question would be:
Where do you acquire all knowledge about Hunters? Any specific?

Cheers,
Y.

[Damale]

What my plan to do was to use my inscription character to create the first tarot to upgrade my Skull of War as this fully max is actually better than the Coin itself, according to some sites. As soon as that was done i was going to upgrade it using the first one for free then see if i was lucky on wednesday. If i did not get a trinket on Wednesday thats when I was going to purchase the last tarots. However if it is required and something that would be preferred i am more than happy to buy the upgrades now. I do aim to get the best possible items but much preferred to obtain them using my inscriptor which i have only just got to 100 and making the paints.

I acquire most of my knowledge through Patch Notes and discussion. Currently there is another hunter in my guild and we chat about our class alot and both test alot of things and give eachother feedback. I generally read all patch notes and updates to check what changes have happened to my class and what would make it better. I also use MMO-Champ for some research and Noxxic if i have made a new class and want to know the rotation, also use this for information on some talents and what they think is best.

Thanks, Damale//Ryan

Problem is not which is better but what could you do to improve yourself before you even start raiding. In this case either 3/3 Skull or buy a Coin, where Coin comes out better due to being one of the best trinkets in BRF for MM and similar DPS as 3/3 Skull (minor difference). If you are waiting for something to drop before you upgrade yourself that is not what we are looking for. We want our players to be raid ready and with best possible gear and I doubt you would fit in with such attitude towards loot. We ain't boosting anyone thru or boosting their gear because someone was not bothered to get it which if we would do, would be unfair towards people who put effort into gearing up.

As said above, I have to sadly decline your application and wish you best luck in finding your guild or pushing your current to higher progression.

Cheers,
Y.
