Dignitas - End of college year alot of work came in so had to quit WoW when that happened, was their MT and they replaced me when had to quit.

IMPORTANT:

Now when you are done with the "basics", we want you to explain a little about different aspects of your character.

Character: Death Knight

Why did you chose the class you are now playing and the professions you selected?: Deathknights have amazing raid ulity and cool-downs for every job needed.  I will be doing mining proffesion for the Stam boost and so have a way of income. and Jewlcraft for the special gems just for jewlcrafters

 31 / 7 / 3

This is the tried and tested interrupt talent spec. I can drop 1 talent point to gain Lichborne if its going to be needed (Mainly used in 25man raids)

I have DW frost, 2h Frost and 2h Unholy set up (all different weapons and some different gear) just need to respect OS in advance

Gear: 378 and 382 for my OS
 
Do you feel your character is sufficiently geared to compete in the Fireland encounters?: Yes
Where do you think your current equipment is lacking now?: I need a tanking weapon (keep getting one im after ninjaed off of me) and need to get my tanking chest (going to buy JP one soon if Murozond don't drop the one im after)


 
Do you know anyone in MoX who can vouch for you?: No I am afraid
Why you want to join MoX?: Good progress, also nice to see a guild not 100% focused on WoW I am sure could have fun playing other games with some of you guys

What type of guild are you looking for? Reliable raiding guild and guild can have a laugh with


What are your goals in wow, what do you want to achieve and how long do you plan to keep playing? What keeps me playing is tanking, love it to bits. Making sure do best job. Getting HC kills knowing I did my job right and no one died.

Hi mate good luck on your app. Nice to see more of the most awesome tanking classes coming along!

Nothing to do with your app but I play blood as an offspec but would deff recommend dropping a point in epidemic and taking lichborne. Lichborne is a good tank cooldown when used along with a death coil macro and can be a lifesaver, especially at times when healers have no mana or u have the purple debuff from yorsahj, also even just for every day use in 5 man heroics. Also with outbreak on a 30 sec cd 2/3 epidmic gives u 29 secs worth of uptime on ur diseases.

p.s. 2 unenchanted items and 2 empty glyph slots might want to get them sorted before an officer comes by and bashes ur app on the head!!

Hey, and thanks for applying to MoX
First of all thanks for pointing out the error, I think that OP a few outdated links, as this is also the old application form... Happily it is mostly the same.

Would love you to answer some of the things missing from this old form tho:

Do you have Teamspeak? (Voice communication is essential to our raiding and it's highly recommended you get a mic if you don't have one already):


Our Raid times are from 20:00 to 0:00 server time with invites starting at 19:30. On which days will you be available for the whole duration? (A raidgroup usually only raids up to 3 nights a week)
Wednesday:
Thursday:
Friday:
Saturday:
Sunday:
Monday:
Tuesday:

Do you feel your character is sufficiently geared to compete in the Dragon Soul encounters?:

I realize there might be a bit of overlap

Also, there are some points, first of all, I see you have almost no raiding experience on your Death Knight (1 Morchok kill, we don't really count LFR as valid raid experience, it can be AFK'd through). You do speak of having raid experience tho, could you link the armory of your previous main, so we can get a better idea on your experience?
About your character itself, the gear is still quite much on the low side, mainly LFR and dungeon gear. Not to mention that for some reason you are wearing your DPS chest... Your professions are quite lacking as well, we do expect our raiders to have the lvl 85 bonuses given by their professions, as they average to as much stats as 2 extra gems per profession. (quite literally for BS)

Please get back to us with this extra information, and we will discuss this application.

Do you have Teamspeak? (Voice communication is essential to our raiding and it's highly recommended you get a mic if you don't have one already): yes got a wireless mic and built in one. and have TS Vent and Mumble

Our Raid times are from 20:00 to 0:00 server time with invites starting at 19:30. On which days will you be available for the whole duration? (A raidgroup usually only raids up to 3 nights a week)
Wednesday: 20:00 to 22:00
Thursday: All day
Friday: All day with maybe being late due to baskball games
Saturday: Can play but normally this is a social night out
Sunday: Any time after 18:00
Monday: All day
Tuesday: All day

Do you feel your character is sufficiently geared to compete in the Dragon Soul encounters?: Yes, done LFR and know thats face roll. I know my class and I know you don't need cap tier gear for HC kills. It helps alot, but tactics and reaction time (esp as a DK tank) is most important.


My old raid toon for FL was    http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/xavius/Pudsey/simple

Have made those talent changes and chest, still farming my dam 2h mace

This is a pic of my UI     http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/689/screenshot20120111at202.png/

Able to keep track of my blood shield, when best to DS for heal. All my CDs, Where party is it gets replaced with Raid frames.  I have basicly my non CD buttons on my gaming mouse, and my CDs are where 1-5 will be with mods so can have 10 CDs attached to 5 keys

Quote from out recruitment post:

Requirements:
- Raiding experience comparable or close to MoX's progress.
- Being fully equipped with the best gear that is available to you.
- Attendence as close to 100% as possible.
- 18+ and mature behaviour, we don't tolerate drama.

I would especially like to point out the first two points, which is something we're looking at when you apply; the latter two we will look at during someone's trial.

Now comparing that to your application:
No offense, but we're 6 weeks into tier 13 and you've only downed Morchok Normal in DS. Like Szemere already pointed out we don't count LFR or BH as actual raid experience. Also gearwise you have nowhere near the best gear that is available to you.

You've linked your druid as previous main, but if I look at your druid's raiding experience I see the following:
tier 10: downed a maximum of 11 times, most HC bosses you only did once (who says you didn't get boosted)
tier 11: downed a maximum of 6 times
tier 12: downed a maximum of 8 times
tier 13: Morchok downed once on both chars
Besides gear and experience, I am looking for reliable and consistent Raiders, that raid week in week out, with exceptions of Holidays/Exam periods/Emergencies. When looking at how many times you've raided in the last 3 tiers, it shows quite the contrary.

If your previous main would've raided non stop the last couple of tiers and would've showed you have a lot of raiding experience, then rerolling to a different char and trying to get a raiding spot in a serious raiding guild, it would look a lot more promising. But unfortunately I have to say that you are not what we're looking for in a Raider.

Application as Raider declined.

I wish you good luck on your search for a guild that suits you.
