Tell us a little bit about yourself (non-WoW related Interests, Hobbies etc)
I am a bit of a fitness freak, my family has revolved around playing sport on a professional level. With my father representing his National team in hockey. And so i often am either out on the track training or inside in the warmth of my room. I am currently in further education, deciding what i want to do with my life.

Describe your choice of talents and why you've chosen them:
This and the next questions answers are heavily weighted by my current legendaries. As i have mantle of Command which completely changes the play style of my hunter, and also my talent choices. for my T15 i take WotC for ST, due to me being able to keep up 2 dire beasts most of the fight and so this is a ST increase. But for more aoe heavy fights i will take DS due to the increased focus regen to be able to keep using multi-shot. T30 talent i take stomp, because i have 4p and the legendary shoulders, hence why dire frenzy isn't used for ST. T60 talent is the most interesting for me, as depending on the fight such as the length, micro management of my pets, and the number of targets which changed which of the three talents i will be running. For more aoe fights i take blink strike, due to increased damage on beast cleave. I would usual just run bestial fury for ST, but because of my legendary i now use OwtP which enables me to have an almost 70% up time on bestial wrath. The T90 talent is just a case of if i have aoe or ST. AmoC is just for ST or for fights when there is a key add which must be killed, such as Gul'dan where i am able to just keep reseting my AmoC and keep a high uptime. But for more aoe fights i will be running Volley, just to keep constant aoe ticking over, much like a starfall. Finally the T100 talent which is almost a no brainer with KC. Unless i wanna pad metres which isn't what i'm about.
How do you prioritize your stats and why?
With the legendary shoulders my stat prior goes from Mastery-Crit-Haste to Crit-Mastery-Haste. This is due to Wild Call, which resets the cool down on my dire beast when my auto attacks crit. And so as a result the more crit i take, the more pets i can have out, and so as a result of this my cobra shot damage, and also my 2p and 4p allows me to just rolling through kill commands. On top of this i also have the legendary feet, which allows me during TW or when my Foci and BTI proc to be able to just cycle through dire beast and kill command without even touching cobra shot. This is enhanced due to my Relic choices which are discussed below
What do you think about Artifact and how important it is for your spec (traits etc)?
I like my artifact it offers some utility in the form of turtle healing, and also the ability for KC to proc an aditional hit which adds a large amount to ST dps. Traits are important for most DPS classes, a flat dps and stamina increase is vital in progression. My hunters weapon is currently 47. This is impart due to me rerolling several times before the launch of NH because of my previous guild lacking key roles such as Tanks and Healers. And so my alts all had rank 35 traits before many people had even got close to rank 30. I've completed across three characters according to wowprogress 943 m+ in total. Not including the countless depletions in the grind to achieving sever 1st +15.
Where do you acquire knowledge about your Class?
I follow a number of high profile BM hunters and also the occasional MM hunter incase i am forced to play a different spec. I simulation all my gear to find the optimal set up.

Raiding History:
Describe your previous/current raiding experience:
Started to raid end of MoP, clearing all of SoO 10man and 25 man HC pre release of mythic, i was playing on my disc priest. Start of WoD i didn't play as often, i can back on the release of HFC, where i really began to multi class, completing the raid on two different characters before the December nerfs and pre-patch, (I was raiding 5 nights a week in two separate guilds) These characters were Soae http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/a ... oae/simple Sadly i no longer play mage because of the fire changes. And also Ihatewar http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/a ... war/simple
Cleared all of EN mythic, playing on 3 different characters to help the guild to progress, so i ended up tanking several bosses on my alts http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/a ... ice/simple
The guild didn't really 'progress' ToV HC or Mythic, due to the beginning of a collapse in the roster due to a low pop server. This resulted in me having to create my own pug for Helya in the 1st week on HC, and we ended up killing it after only 43 wipes in a group of 21 people, of which only 6 were guilds who i knew. To be fair i did happen to ask a few mythic raiders to help from higher profile guilds.
Tell us about your previous guilds and your reasons for leaving them:
Valhall - Azjol-nerub
The guilds beginning to collapse. We went into legion with some old members having returned, having been a guild which has been around since EQ and achieving server 1st and top 25 in the world in Vanilla, we wanted to bring the guild back to its glory, by competing for server rankings. This proved too much for some members and so we were halted, and there began to be fractures in the guild resulting in the departure of key raiders.
