What strengths do you feel your class currently brings to the raid?
Hunters:
- Have great AOE damage to nuke down adds
- Consistent ST damage
- Good CC/utility with frost trap and bursting shot knockback
- Can potentially clear mechanics easily with turtle immunity
- Can also potentially clear pesky debuffs or targeted abilities with feign death
- Movement abilities to navigate a fight quickly
How comfortable are you playing your offspecs?
I'm happy playing all 3 specs for whatever we need to progress a fight.

Raiding History:
Describe your previous/current raiding experiences / guilds. including reasons for leaving them:
Started playing WoW at the start of Shadowlands and in the realm Ragnaros where my friends were playing. Joined friends' guild called 'Regrettable Decisions'. Mostly joined them for heroic/social clears to get an idea of raiding when I got good enough gear which I fell in love with. Joined the mythic team at the end of CN where they were progging Sludgefist. Didn't kill it in the end and guild decided to pause until next tier.
In 9.1 SoD, stayed in the same guild to prog until 4/10M. The guild then disbanded due to motivation from quite a few people so moved to a guild called 'Eclipse'. We progged until 6/10M and I left during Painsmith prog due to the raiding environment being more toxic and not very enjoyable.
Moved to 'Atom' and joined them while they were on reclears of SoD. Stayed with 'Atom' for 9.2. Really enjoyed the raiding environment. We progged until 7/11M where the guild also decided to stop raiding.
Joined 'Aeon Remnants' about a week ago to help their prog where a guildie from Atom also joined. I haven't really had a chance to play as much due to their existing prog on LoD which makes sense. Currently helping them prog Rygelon, however the raiding environment seems to be very noisy with the comms not being very clear. The schedule is also not as great for me - 20:00 to 23:00 which is a bit early for UK time (19:00-22:00) due to dinner.
More Information:
Can you meet our raid schedule of Wed/Thur/Mon 21:00 to 00:00 server time with at least 90% attendance?
Yes
What encouraged you to apply to Curse of Years?
Nagassh messaged me on wowprogress initially. Asked him a couple of questions including some vods to gauge what the raiding environment would be like, which seems to be what I'm interested in. Atom RL (T/Thaelarion) also mentioned raiding with you guys previously and recommended giving it a try.
Do you play much outside of raiding?
At the very start of tier, I do play a lot outside of raiding in M+ to get gear, fill up vaults, help other fill up vaults. As gear becomes less and less of an upgrade near the end of a tier, I tune down more to make myself not burn out at the game.
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your application?
I play a bunch of other games including League of Legends and F1 games. Recently picked up Destiny 2 and Diablo 3 as well.
Really appreciate you guys taking the time to read all of this. Let me know if there's any questions or queries that I can help answer. I also have a channel with the kills I had with Atom for this tier in my POV for your reference (and a bonus Rocket League montage if interested ^^) - https://www.youtube.com/user/Dr3amST.
Thanks again!
Jaren
