The application submitted by Elaeth <Titan> is as follows:

Quote:
Name : Aedh
Game : World of Warcraft
Server : US - Lightbringer
Level : 85
Gender : Male
Faction : Alliance
Race : Worgen
Class : Warlock
Spec 1 : Destruction
Spec 2 : Demonology


WoW Armory
be.imba.hu
WoW Heroes

Please elaborate on your spec(s) if needed.:
Destruction 3/7/31 and Demonology 0/31/10

Were you in any prior guilds? If so, please tell us which guilds and why you left them.:
Absolution - The guild is basically falling apart, and we haven't raided in over a month. Not good for a raid guild.

Tell us about your raid experience. Focus on Cata raiding, but add pre-Cata experience where you think it might illustrate your abilities.:
Unfortunately my raid experience has been plagued by joining guilds that don't end up going anywhere. My current one - Absolution - is a perfect example. Initially we raided the first couple Saturdays of January. We tried expanding to Fridays but couldn't get the manpower, recruiting was unsuccessful, and we were routinely short healers and tanks. Now not even the officers are on on a regular basis. In terms of content I've done, I've done Baradin's Hold, downed Halfus, and seen Valiona and Theralion.

Please describe your role in a raid setting. Why is your class/spec important?:
Warlock is an extremely versatile class and brings a lot to the table. We bring Curse of Elements (+8% spell damage) and Shadow and Flame (+5% crit debuff) regardless of spec. Destruction benefits from replenishment, and is extremely hardy for a caster dps thanks to Fel Armor and Soul Leech. It does best in light movement encounters with 2 or 3 targets to maximize Bane of Havoc damage. Demonology has one of the best AoE games of any spec (with maybe Frost Death Knights being competition), and brings a +10% spell power buff to boot.

Tell us a little bit about your play style. Rotation, talent point explanation, choice of glyphs, etc.:
I mostly raid as Destruction, with Demonology available as an off-spec for the spell power buff or, usually, the AoE damage. For destruction, my setup is rather straightforward. Talents and glyphs are mostly standard, except I went 1/3 Demonic Embrace and 1/2 Fel Synergy for increased survivability, instead of 2/2 Fel Synergy. Its mostly a personal preference, but I find I don't need the major healing on my Imp that 2/2 F.S. would give, and the extra stamina from D.E. makes for better Soul Leech healing. Demonology spec is also fairly straightforward, though I switched out Glyph of Lash of Pain for Glyph of Fel Guard since I don't really use Demonology for single-target fights. Obviously if I was I would keep some dust handy and switch glyphs.

Theres never a rotation for warlocks, but the priority lists aren't hard to follow. For Destruction, keep Improved Soul Fire up, keep your dots up, spam Conflagrate when its off cooldown, and squeeze in as many Chaos bolts and Incinerates as you can between things, while using Demon Soul every time it's up.

With Demonology, its all about waiting for Metamorphosis to come up. Keep your dots up, refresh Immolate with Hand of Gul'Dan, spam Shadow Bolt when you don't have a Molten Core proc, and use Metamorphosis as soon as it's off cool down (unless you're within a few seconds of a mastery proc), with Immolation Aura if its ok to get within melee range.

Why do you think you would be a good addition to Misguided?:
I'm a good player who's had bad luck with raiding guilds, and I'd like to finally join one that's stable. I'm rather low-maintenance, and keep the drama to a minimum. I understand my lack of raid experience and low gear score (352) will likely leave me benched for better players. However, I know my class well, I know Destruction intimately, and I've done my homework for encounters. I'm a frequent poster in MMO-Champion forums, and posted and maintain the Destruction guide there. Basically, I'm the guy who's gotten as much as he can out of class, and now needs to apply it to the "real world." If you give me the chance, I know I won't disappoint.

If you would like to, tell us a little about yourself so we may get a better idea of the person behind the character.:
I'm a 26 year old back-to-college student, majoring in Computer Engineering, and live in Tacoma, Washington. Before I went back to school I worked as a help-desk IT specialist for Boeing, and Comcast before that. I tend to maintain a fairly heavy workload from school and helping classmates with their work, however I make time for guild events. My availability Tuesday to Thursday is about 0 thanks to a night Chemistry class I couldn't fit into my morning schedule, however the other four days a week I'm usually free. I do spend some time every couple weeks with my cousin and her family, who's third baby is due in a few months, so she needs a fair amount of help when I can.

Hey there.

Sorry about the delay on the app. Real life has been in full swing lately, so we couldn't really get to the apps before the weekend.


I see from your availability that you're unable to make weekday raid times? Were you applying for the weekend raid? If so, I'm terribly sorry to say, but it's been effectively canceled for the time being. Again, apologies if you saw one of our old recruitment posts or something, we haven't gotten around to updating them all yet.

If you'd still like to talk about applying for the weekday run, let me know and we'll keep talking. If not, I'm afraid we really have nothing to offer you.

-Inune

Unfortunately yes, I was hoping for a spot on the weekend raid. Is there any chance it would be restarted soon?

It is very unlikely that the weekend group will be started up again anytime soon, I'm afraid.

As Inune stated, the weekend group will probably not be starting up again anytime soon. Thanks for you interest and best of luck to you in future endeavors.
