Raid History

• Raid/Instance Experience (pre & post bc):

   

  • List the instances you have experience in, and the farthest you have been in that instance:
  •  KZ- all, ZA - all, Mags, Gruuls, SSC - Fathom Lord, TK - Kaelthas, MH - Rage. Pre-bc I saw every boss up to Rasuvius the Instructor in Naxx (first boss we fought in Naxx, only one i ever saw).
  • What is your favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why? I like the Hydross fight because of the amount of coordination that it requires from the whole raid, and the kind of dedication that the tanks need in order to have the proper gear.
  • What is your least favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why? Cant say ive found one that i truly dislike. Every new boss generally means learning time (or wipe time). I expect that and dont hold judgement against the boss for being a punk =P.
• Previous Guilds - Why did you leave them? How long were you there? a few guilds that arent worth mentioning since i didnt spend a lot of time there, and my current guild - Insurrection. Ive yet to leave Insurrection, but am looking to do so. Ive found that the "teamwork" that they speak of so much isn't really what they practice. On top of that, the amount of bias the the GM and Officers show can be a bit overbearing at times.

Alts

• List the names of any alts you may have, along with their respective levels, classes/specs, and races. Nelem - 20 Draenei Warrior, Nellim - 19 Draenei Shammy, Rasmidas - 20 Troll Hunter (Cho'gall).
• Is this app for your main alone, or would you also like to have your alts in Downfall? Main alone. i dont play my alts much. they arent in guilds.

General Questions

• We receive a lot of applications. Why should we recruit
  you? Im a team player with a lot of experience. I do a lot of dmg and support the guild in whatever way possible. (When i can get a link, then i will provide one with a show of a dmg meter. Until then, you can ask Thimbus about my dmg). 
• Why have you chosen to apply to Downfall? Ive always know downfall to be an excellent guild with great success in progression. I'd like to be a part of that. Also, ive gotten to know thimbus pretty well. i'd like to raid with him some more.

   

  • What do expect to get out of Downfall membership? No expectations outside of meeting some cool people.
  • How do you feel you will contribute to the downfall community? I offer my services to whoever needs them when they are available. you can ask some of my guildies now, i will go out of my way to help them if they need it (including farming nearly all the mats to get them craftable gear).
  • Do you have any references in Downfall? Thimbus 
  • How long do you intend to stay in Downfall? as long as im welcome here.
  • What things might cause you to leave? RL issues that would require me to quit the game, and extreme cases of being blatently biased for no good reason. 
• Schedule:
  • If you are applying to raid, which nights can you raid? i can raid any night of the week, besides the ones i am working. 
  • Can you consistently stay up until 10pm server time on these nights without whining or burning out? lol, 10 pm is pretty early.
  • What time zone are you in? PST 
  • How often do you think you would have to miss raid? It's hard to say with my work. Im in the military, so sometimes the call goes out when i dont want it too. 
  • What might the typical reasons for this be? my job.
• Read the pages found here at this link. Does everything there seem fair? yes, extremely.
• If you had to choose, would you put Cisper or Shinzwei on auto-follow? yes.
• If Shihli tells a joke (good or bad), will you laugh? only if they are funny, whether intentionally or not.

• Your ass, or a hole in the ground? wtf? do i have to answer?
• Anything else you would like to add? no.

UI

• How do you feel about mods, particularly in a raid setting? i believe they are helpful.
• Please post a screenshot of your UI by using the "Attached Images" link below.  I use blizzards UI
  • List the mods displayed in your screenshot and give a brief explanation of why you like each of them. I use Omen for obvious reasons, DBM because it makes gameplay easier, and a mapmod. no dmg meter. 
  • Are you willing to change mods that don't interface well with ours in raid? yes.
