Describe your choice of talents and why you've chosen them:
Typically I research Azortharion's Hunter guides, whether on Icy Veins or Discord.
T1: Lone Wolf is the prime talent to choose here as it simply provides the most damage with not having to worry about a pet.
T2: True Aim is simply the best target for single target fights when combined with Trick Shot. When not using Trick Shot, Lock and load is always the best option.
T3: Posthaste is the obvious choice here as with Hunter's being notoriously mobile within fights, this grants further mobility whilst covering longer distances to avoid damage loss.
T4: I've chosen Patient Sniper for this tier as I feel it's a lot better than the other two without the need to compare when in single target fights. When in multi target encounters it sometimes is a better option to choose Explosive shot and Piercing shot and it's more mobile.
T5: In raid encounters it makes no sense choosing anything other than Binding Shot. While you won't use it every encounter it is definitely a nice crowd control ability.
T6: A Murder of Crows is no doubt the best talent here when in single target encounters, and Volley being in multi target fights being the obvious choice.
T7: Finally, Trick Shot would be the best single target choice, even stronger with the legendary belt, and Piercing shot being the best choice for multi target fights.

Raiding History:
My first raiding guild was on Dunemaul, HoB. This was just before the release of Ulduar. I stayed with these guys until around 3 months after the release of Cataclysm when they disbanded unfortunately. Me, Ryna and a few friends then transferred to Ragnaros and ended up making our own guild around the release of Firelands. Unfortunately due to work commitments I wasn't able to lead as well as I'd have liked. Ryna and I then decided to merge guilds with Rambo and although I wasn't able to raid much with them we managed very steady progress, eventually forming a really solid team. Unsure as to why they disbanded as I quit around half way through the MoP expansion. Came back just before it ended and ended up following them to Arathor.
I'm on Arathor and have been so since probably early 2013. Though I haven't raided with them as much as i'd have liked due to work commitments and, well, the ban.
WoTLK:
Ulduar normal cleared.
Ulduar hard mode up to Mimiron.
ToTC 5/5 heroic/Insanity 10 man.
ICC 11/12 heroic.
RS 10/25 heroic on release day.
Cataclysm:
BwD 5/6 heroic.
BoT 2/5 heroic.
Inactive until Firelands and managed 7/7 heroic with some friends.
Came back toward to end of DS and did 8/8 heroic within a few weeks.
With regards to MoP we cleared MV on day 2, and got 4 heroic the next week. I quit due to work commitments again.
WoD:
I started raiding again with CoY mid BrF where we cleared everything up until Blast Furnace mythic and that's where I got temp banned.

More Information:
Can you meet our raid schedule of Wed/Thur/Mon 21:00 to 00:00 server time with at least 90% attendance?
I can.
We are raiding Sundays at start of each Tier for 3-4 weeks. Are you aware of it?
Yes.
Are you able to Listen and Speak on Teamspeak?
Absolutely.
What qualities do you bring to a Raid?
I feel I will be a valuable asset to the guild as I have a good attitude when it comes to raiding. I'm loyal, always ready, do what is asked and even more and most importantly strive to be the best I can be for the guild.
How do you feel about progression raiding?
It's no doubt the best part about raiding. I've always said i'd rather wipe on a boss 500 times and gain 0.1% and gain progress each time than none at all. I believe raiding is 5% luck, 5% skill and 90% communication.
Where did you hear about Curse of Years and do you know anyone in the guild?
Unfortunately yes.
What encouraged you to apply to Curse of Years?
Ultimately I just want to raid again with friends.
Do you play outside of raid?
Absolutely, mostly Mythic+ dungeons and AP farming.
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your application?
While my past raid experience is very scattered I can assure you I know my class well and play to the best of my ability. I always attend raids with a good attitude. Ready to progress and ready to win. I have neither BiS legendaries at the moment so don't judge anything just yet. ;)
Tell us a joke:
"What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee chord?"
"My ass."
If you know where that reference is from, you are amazing.
