Are you an active player outside of raiding? Very much so, I enjoy to pvp as well as raid.

System Information:

What are your system specs?
Intel Core I7 3ghz cpu
3gigs DDR 3
Nvidia Geforce GTX 275

Do you have any disconnection problems at all? Patch days or random times(line maintenance). It has only gotten in the way of raiding once or twice in the past year.
Post a speed test from http://www.speedtest.net/


What's your average latency and FPS during a raid?
On my broken server ever since 3.3 latency spikes have been occuring, but they are not limited to just myself. The lag spikes are server wide, our instance server is terrible. Average latency though as of lately is about 150 latency with spikes up to 1k on gunship(again server side, not client side issues). Fps usually 40-75 in raid enviroments.

Do you have a microphone? Yes

Do you mind talking when needed? I don't mind at all.

Character and Raid Information:

Raid/Instance Experience: Icc25 many Putricide 1% attempts, plenty of Blood Queen attempts. Have not attempted Sindragosa 25 yet though. Togc25 up to Anub, every time we geared a tank to avoidance/block cap they would leave our guild. Uld25 every normal mode, with a few hardmodes here and there. I was never in a raiding guild during Uld so have yet to go back and get all the 25man hard modes.

Past Guilds: Categorical Imperative is the only guild worth mentioning.

Reasons for Leaving Past Guilds: I am still currently in Categorical Imperative, we are having terrible attendance issues. On top of attendance issues, we have very low raid dps causing most icc25 encounters to be near impossible.

Are you willing to sit from a raid if needed? Yes, but would prefer to not sit of course.

Are you willing to take harsh and constructive criticism? Of course, judge away.

Raid Interface - NOT OPTIONAL, YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A SCREENSHOT
Please post a screenshot of your UI during a raid during combat!
That image is not in raid situations, but if I were to close recount it is very close to my raid ui.
The Video is alot closer to my ui, but is very old and has alot of clutter. I should be able to get an SS during an actual raid with my current UI if these are not enough for you.



GEAR:
We are working on A Tribute to Insanity and preparing for Icecrown Citadel. We are not looking for any "projects." Gear must be suitable to contribute to a raid immediately.

Please post a link to your armory profile: My gear is not bad, mostly best in slot pre Heroic ICC. My althors abacus is a placeholder until a Heroic solace drops, and until then I still carry around Greatness in case I feel the need for it. I do not have Valanyr unfortunately, again at the time of ulduar I was not in a raiding guild. Trauma just got a buff so hopefully it will prove a little more usefull than it has. I do also carry around the Ilvl 200 libram to reduce the mana cost of holy light for endurance fights as well.

Explain your main spec and dual spec. Explain why you are geared/gemmed/enchanted the way you are. How do you benefit from it? Main spec = holy, currently my off spec is holy pvp. I do have a mediocre ret set as well. For holy though, I am using a holy light spam build with Divine sac and Imp Divine sac. I gem purely for intellect since assuming 100% replenishment and divine plea and arcane torrent kept on CD 1 int gives .5 mp5 as well. So a 20 int gem is actually a 20int10mp5 with a small amount of sp/crit to go with it as well. For ret I gem Str, if I can make a socket bonus of +4 str or more with an orange gem I put 10str10crit gems in those sockets. I am still currently using only 2pT9 for ret and 2pT10 for holy.

Why did you choose your current professions? What do you gain from them? If you have a gathering profession, what is stopping you from dropping it for a profession that benefits your stats more? Bs/Jc 2 extra 20int gems + 3x 34int gems = win.


WWS/WMO/WOL:
Post a WWS, WoW Meter Online, or a World of Logs report of a few recent raids from your current guild. If your guild does not run these, post a screenshot(s) of your recount for some boss encounters.
DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT
The screenshot I posted just above the video with my ui is a picture with recount open of a Blood Queen attempt, I highlighted my top3 healing abilities in that fight because one of my guildies did not believe that I was out healing everyone that much without using JoL. The paladin near the bottom of the chart Kronickillz was on JoL duty.

Describe Yourself:

Tell us a little bit about yourself! I am competative, if I have to fight for a raid spot I will have that raid spot.

Why you think you deserve a raid spot? Competative and always come prepared, my own food/flasks for both specs as well as good attendance and performance.

Do you know anyone in The Flying Hellfish? Nope can't say I do.

Tell us a story: It can be about anything, in game or out, but make sure its entertaining! I'm a little Paladin short and stout. Here is my hammer, here is my mount. When I get in trouble I scream and Shout. Get in my Bubble and Hearth out.

Pre 3.3.2 a warrior and I tried our hands at 2's, basically my first real arena's experie
nce. He was fury and I of course was holy. Our team name was Gearscore and that's exactly what we did. We went in with full pve gear, I had a focustarget macro to attack his target. If the fury warrior wasn't CC'd within the first 10 seconds he could pop recklessness + deathwish, while I divine favor+talisman of resurgance+ Wings, and we would usually global someone. This worked until about 1750 rating. We got matched up against some of our guildies and beat them everytime we dualed them, keep in mind we had a grand total of 0 resiliance. They ended up jinxing us, told us it was impossible to hit 1800+ with 0 resil. We hit 1796, then got a string of 2200+ mmr RM combo's and fell sadly to 1600 at which point we could not get enough will to even come back since wins awarded ~5 points and loses lost ~16.

Misc Comments:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Cross-Server applicants add:
Name of your old server: Spinebreaker
Give 2 references on your old server that we can contact (leave names of reasonably active people - because we're only going to log in for 5 seconds): Kittiegrind and Palisareop
Why are you willing to leave your entire server to join us?: Tired of a guild that cannot down PP let alone LK to unlock heroic icc.

If you would like any other SS's or things of that sort just let me know and I would be glad to take more or see what else I can dig up.

log out in pve gear

sorry, did a few last minute bg's before I had to go back to class. Completely slipped my mind, I will make sure to log out in pve gear again as soon as I get home.

The effort on your application is commendable. However, how is your dedication to PvE progression?

I ask this because on your achievements page, you clearly have never gotten above 2000 rating in 3's or 5's (which is required for the Season 7 Relentless shoulders; and seeing how we have no Arena points at the moment...). It would seem as if you spent 60 Emblems of Frost on said gear. Would you clarify this, since I may be mistaken?

No thats fine, I just recently started to pvp and have actually found 3's fun. My luck in icc25 has been amazing. I have 2pT10 and nearly all the plate 264's that drop in icc25. With Toravon being released and already having my 2PT10 I gave myself a little break and bought the relentless shoulders, still hoping the T10 gloves/legs drop of course. Even after buying the shoulders I am currently above 40 frost badges again. The income of badges is very nice, and if my guild was making progress or even filling 25mans more than once a night, I would have without a doubt gone for the full tier set to further progression. My armory should be up now with my full pve gear set on it.

you sure seem to move around a lot, and click your judgements.

As far as my moving around goes, I guess I really haven't noticed it. The only buttons I click are the buttons on the bar above my cd's; Exorcism, Concecrate, Holy Wrath(while not on anub), and turn evil.

i see that your judgements are bound to 2/s2, but the tooltip lights up (hint: this only happens when you mouseover the ability) several times on your video. why not use the bind instead of moving your mouse away from your raid frames to click it?

That is an old video I assure you I use the keybinds now. At the time I had cowtip set to display tooltips directly above my judgement icon. If it was actually the judgement tooltip popping up, then I have no idea what I was thinking. Again the only things I click "now" are my offensive abilities above my cooldowns.
