General:
My name is Benjamin, I live closely to Paris, France. I'm 25 and currently studying to become a math teacher. I already have a master degree in engineering (electronic).
Tell us a little bit about yourself (non-WoW related Interests, Hobbies etc):
I have lived with my gf for 5 years now, I'm an esport addict, following a lot of games and watching the competitions (mainly LoL, HS and SCII). I play some other games too, on PC or Nintendo consoles.

Battletag: Finnera#2690
Describe your choice of talents and why you've chosen them:
1st line: Chi Burst: Only choice in this line for a raider. I used to play with Mistwalk before cause I love that talent (and for pvp too).
2nd line: Tiger's Lust: Better than the others in this line cause you can give it to an ally.
3rd line: Depends of the fight. Mainly Mist Wrap for the +1sec on Enveloping Mist and the ability to cast Soothing Mist while moving. Spirit of the Crane when I can stick to the boss and have the time to dps to regen.
4th line: Leg Sweep
5th line: Mainly healing Elixir. if needed I can take the others (Like Dampen Harm for the first weeks on Ursoc).
6th line: Never Refreshing Jade Wind, not worth at all atm. Chi Ji per default. I always use the Jade Serpent Statue for my M+ and sometimes I try it during the raids.
7th line: Mana Tea per default. I use Rising Thunder sometimes too. I will consider to use it more cause I just get the legendary legs.
How do you prioritize your stats and why?
Vers
Crit
Haste Mastery
Why ? Cause that's all the MW do atm. The combo vers/crit is the best for our class.
Where do you acquire knowledge about your Class?
Mainly by playing it a lot. I only play monk (my shaman alt sometimes when I really don't know what to do). I play all the specs so I learn every role on M+, raids or pvp.
For other informations, I look at forums, some websites as Icy Veins or french ones and I have some MW friends in my friendlist.

Raiding History:
Describe your previous/current raiding experience:
Previous experience: I began in WotlK. I've done a first realm in my old french realm in Cataclysm (Nefarian HC). I've played on nearly all the tiers. The issue of my previous raids were that I was in a low pop and low skill realm. One of the lowest in EU. So I made a lot of breaks, bored of the game.
Current experience: 7/7 EN Mythic (It was the first time my previous guild killed Xavius when I was with them) and 3/3 HC ToV.
Tell us about your previous guilds and your reasons for leaving them:
French guild: I quit them for a better PvE experience. I still have some friends in it.
On Draenor: I began with Apotheosys where I've done 5/7M. The guild exploded cause of the atmosphere in it. Then I tried with Boom Time but the atmosphere is weird and they had like 3 healer trials at the same time ... I prefered to leave. Lately I was with Eat my Crit and I've done 7/7M and 3/3HC with them. It finished cause ... the RL doesnt like me. Nobody in the raid understood his decision tbh.
I just think he wanted to play with his friend which plays MW too.
More Information:
Can you meet our raid schedule of Wed/Thur/Mon 21:00 to 00:00 server time with at least 90% attendance?
No problem. And if I have to miss it cause of IRL, you would know it quickly.
We are raiding Sundays at start of each Tier for 3-4 weeks. Are you aware of it?
Yes. I'm used to raid 4 days per week max so that's okay for me.
Are you able to Listen and Speak on Teamspeak?
Yes.
What qualities do you bring to a Raid?
My gameplay and a smart thinking around bosses.
How do you feel about progression raiding?
You know, when I was on my old french guild, we used to do 50-100 (or more) try on every HC boss (Cataclysm/MoP) cause a lot of people fail and/or are bad. I have a good stamina for progress :)
Where did you hear about Curse of Years and do you know anyone in the guild?
WoWprogress and no.
What encouraged you to apply to Curse of Years?
First the progress. You were 1/3M when I first saw you and it seems enough for me. I don't think I have the level of playing and/or the time to be in a top France/EU guild. You look like a good choice.
Then I talked to Yse and it confirmed my first impression of you.
Do you play outside of raid?
Yes. Mainly WQ and M+ for AP. Sometimes I do some pvp too.
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your application?
I hope you enjoyed to read this. I'm really trying to find a guild where I want to stay a long time. Merry Christmas to all of you !
Tell us a joke:
The best I have comes from the Rdrood from my previous guild: "Rdrood aren't OP you're wrong !".
