Frost, because I am simply gearing up. I will be fire when I get geared and into AQ/Naxx raids.

• Gear

I'm using Bloodvine, some Tier 1, and some other zg/aq20 gear. I am trying to stay around the hit cap. Right now I am at 400 frost damage, unbuffed. I know how to gear and spec this character, as well as others.

I am a 300 tailor for obvious reasons, and a 300 engineer for fun and for bloodvine goggles, repairbots, and other good things.

Raid Details

• Previous raiding experience and details: I will post this information in my previous guild answer below. See below.

• Raid attendence - You know the raid times and the raid days. Do you have any problem making these? No, I am 29 years old and raids will start for me at 11pm, which is great. I will certainly be at home.

• Are you comfortable with the fact that you may not always have a raid spot? Yes

• Are you willing to download/use all the necessary addons that are requied to raid with us? Yes, I should have most of them already installed and configured.


Final Exit

• What were your former guilds and why did you leave them?

I hate to post a wall of text, but I am going to post my entire guild history, which I have saved on a notepad file from retail, because I do not want to re-type this all.

<Impervious> - Stormreaver - I was alliance originally on my rogue, and I was in this guild with friends who I played with in the closed beta of Vanilla WoW, for nearly a year. I did a few raids, though I was more into PvP at the time, and was not one of the hardcore raiders. I left this guild to move to the Arthas realm with my RL co-workers and college buddies.

<TG> - Arthas - Probably the most involved I've been with progression came from my time in this guild. I remember beating myself up with Vanilla Naxx progression (we ended up clearing Naxx long before The Burning Crusade was released, in the top 10 or so US), getting a Warglaive, all the way until M'uru attempts and finally downing him. Unfortunately, my real life forced me to give up my raiding spot after we finally downed M'uru and had been working on Kil'Jaden for about a week. Shortly after I quit, <TG> made a 27th U.S. kill on Kil'Jaden. I quit because I had to move from the U.S. to Taiwan for employment, and I had never lived in Taiwan before, so I was forced to take an indefinite hiatus from WoW and raiding while I became comfortable living in a foreign country.

<Malicious>/<Apex> - The Venture Company - During my first year in Taiwan, I suffered through a terrible 2-meg internet connection. I used WoW to level a druid alt I had created on The Venture Company, because my ping was too frustrating to play my rogue, but it was less frustrating to play a healer. Eventually I hit 80 and I was totally casual on this realm, though I did raid in the top horde and also top alliance guild on the server. I healed ToGC Insanity 10 and ToGC 4/5 Heroic 25man, which was saying a lot for one of the worst servers I have ever played on. During this time, though frustrated with bad ping, I took the time to level up my rogue to 80, and play on the weekends in level 80 Naxx 10 with some RL buddies, as a way to keep in touch with friends back home in America.

<Muffin Makers> - Maelstrom - During my second year of living in Taiwan, I got a great internet connection and moved my rogue back to Maelstrom and joined forces with some people I used to play with in beta and some RL buddies. I raided with this guild through ICC and ICC-HM. We got 12/12 10 man and 11/12 25 man. We only raided 3 days a week and it was mostly a guild of friends. I did ICC-HMs on my rogue, resto druid, DK tank, and arcane mage. After Wrath, the guild decided it would be better to switch to a 10-man only guild, which didn't suit my close friends and I, so we went to Mug'thol.

<Juggernaut> - Mug'thol - I finally got a 100meg DSL connection in Taiwan and had wonderful ping! Juggernaut was one of the top US guilds for a long time, probably reaching it's peak at maybe rank 5. I raided the first tier of the Cataclysm bosses with these guys on my rogue, all heroics, trying to US firsts. After about 7 years of raiding, I finally decided to take a break and focus on pvp, so I joined some of the best PvP guilds in the game on Darkspear.

<Dara Mactire>/<Inevitable Defeat> - Darkspear - On Darkspear I was in the top 2 PvP guilds, one was the top PvP guild in the US for a while, and one was the second place RBG guild in the US. I only did PvP on this server. I got to about 2400 on my rogue in 3s. I got to 2300-2400 RBG rating on almost all my toons, which included Mage, DK, Druid, and Lock. I can comfortably play any class in the game in any enviornment, raiding or PvP. In December of 2011 <Inevitable Defeat> decided to transfer to Tichondrius to become more competitive, and I decided paying all that money for character transfers really pissed me off, because I was tired of paying to play WoW. I found Feenix in March and leveled this mage, because I have always had a mage as my first alt character, and I wanted a break from rogue.

I have reached high PvP rankings with almost every class, and also heroic raids and original Vanilla raids with at least a few classes. Though Naxx I have only done from a rogue's standpoint. I have raided almost every class through BWL, but we were only allowed to bring our mains to Naxx.

If you have more questions feel free to ask me in-game. I am one of the most experienced players on Feenix, although I am new to the realm. I am good at the game and I want to play with other people who are good. I can't stand playing with casual players who need to be carried.


• What would you bring to Final Exit as a guild? All of my experience.

• What would you expect from Final Exit as a guild? To play with people who have similar experience and goals.

You seem like a really experienced and quality player. Your gear is a bit of a problem tho, with bloodvine you lack HP which makes it hard to stay alive in Naxx, at Loatheb for example. But if we have a srs lack of mages it's worth it to take a guy with low gear but good experience and knowledge. So +1 from me :-)

Well I certainly know that I am definitely lacking in HP, but that could be made up by just a couple of runs of MC, BWL, or AQ, to get rid of my bloodvine and give me some stuff with more stamina, provided the other mages didn't need those things. Like I said earlier, this guy is a new character for me, as I am new to the server, so I am definitely still grinding reps and getting gear. Thanks for your reply!

Hey there, very impressive application, really enjoyed reading it and looks great!

Sadly I will have to decline you, let me explain:
The last few raids we have been raiding with 6 mages, sometimes even 7. I already accepted one more mage into the guild, who will join us upcoming week, we can't bring more mages in the raid, 5 is okay, 6 is awesome, 7 is starting to get too much.
Your application shows you're dedicated and you are telling you are dedicated, but it would be bad inviting you if there won't be raidspots, our mage core is fine at this moment and I would have a bad feeling keeping you out of raids all the time knowing you deserve better.

I suggest you try to look for a guild which does need mages and is raiding BWL/AQ40, your gear is fine for that, and they would be stupid not to take you.
Remember only good T2 parts for mage are gloves and legs, the rest is easily replacable by either MC(not t1)/AQ20/preraid blue's/epics, you would do fine until T2.5.

Once again, I feel bad having to decline such application, but it would be unfair.

Thanks for applying and good luck finding a more suitable guild, we'll meet sometime ingame without any doubt :)

Greetings,
Xelthion

Fair enough, if you ever need someone let me know. If you do have any suggestions as to a guild that might need mages, feel free to tell me in-game, as I am not too familiar with most of the guilds or people on this server yet. Thanks for your consideration, I hope to play with some of you in the future, even in pugs.

You can try Exploding LabRats, they are 4/9 AQ40, not sure if they need mages though.

^accepted.
