About You

• Who are you?

Hi guys, my name is Draško, all the guys that were in cWoW's Symbiosis know me as Vutra(man).

• Where are you from?

I'm from Serbia, more precisely from a town some 80ish km southeast from Belgrade.

• How old are you?

At the moment 22, 23 in a month. July 14th to be more precise.

• What are your usual playing hours?

I don't have any specific timeline that I adhere to, I mostly play whenever I'm free, usually 5-6 hours a day (but there were times when I played for more than 10 hours a day). I checked your raid hours and it looks ok to me.

Character Details

• Character Name: Vutra

• Character Class: Mage

• Character Talent Spec: 31/0/20 - http://www.wowprovider.com/Old.aspx?tale...1531r535d30013f

I guess there already is a mage or two with Winter's Chill in the guild for the raids so there is no need for me to talent it, though it wouldn't be a problem to respec if it's necessary.

• Gear

Ugh, it's pretty crappy to be honest because I haven't played for a year now due to lots of obligations I have had at the university, not that I played much after getting to lvl 60 though. I'm about to graduate so with all of that out of the picture I plan to gear up ASAP. Here goes:

Head: Black Mageweave Headband (crap)
Neck: Necklace of Calisea
Shoulder: Gaea's Amice of Stamina
Back: Brightcloth Cloak
Chest: Robe of Everlasting Night
Wrist: Sublime Wristguards
Hand: Dreamweave Gloves
Weapon: Stoneflower Staff
Wand: Mana Channeling Wand
Waist: Devout Belt (lol)
Legs: Frostweave Pants
Feet: Wolfrunner Shoes
Ring1: Freezing Band (this is actually the first epic item I got on retail in the early 2007)
Ring2: Frigid Ring
Trinket1: AD Commission (time to grind me some AD rep and get ToA)
Trinket2: Uther's Strength (it procs quite often actually, good help when I don't Frost Nova in time)

I have more spirit than stamina, pathetic, I know.

• What professions have you selected for this character and why?

Initially, I had tailoring and enchanting but I decided to switch to herbalism and skinning just to get some cash, I plan to take alchemy later on. Vutra is a slang term for weed so I guess being a herbalist/alchemist would be the only logical thing.

Communication

• Can you speak and understand English to a good level?

I study for a professor of English language and literature, so yes.

• Can you use TeamSpeak and are you able to speak when required?

I don't have it at the moment but I will get it if I get in the guild, so it won't be a problem. I have a decent headset and my notebook has a mic so I'll be all set when the moment comes.

Raid Details

• Are you comfortable with loot council?

Fine by me, sounds nifty. Better than engaging in an all-out DKP war with others just to get a minor stat upgrade.

• Mc / Bwl / Naxx pre-quests?

I'm afraid that I have not a single one of them completed. I plan to do them first thingwhen I get back in game, which will be in either a week or in early July.

• Previous raiding experience and details.

I've cleared MC/AQ20/AQ40/BWL with Symbiosis, also a couple of World Bosses with them. Damn that Kazzak!

• Raid attendence

- You know the raid times and the raid days. Do you have any problem making these?

No problem whatsoever, IF by any chance I can't make it I will be sure to post it here several hours in advance.

- Are you an adult in control of your own playtime or is it dictated for you? Will anything cause you to quit early/afk/cancel the pre-organised event at a moments notice with 39 other people from all over the world who put time aside to spend it with you?

1. AW HELL YEAH. 2. AW HELL NO.

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

It wouldn't be the first time, it would give me time to farm mats/gear and grind rep, which I desperately need.

• Are you willing to download/use all the necessary addons that are requied to raid with us?

I already got them all, I just need to see how some of them function since I am not familiar with all of them.

Final Exit

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

Actually, I was a member of Final Exit when it was founded, I was kicked out because I was inactive, i.e. I wasn't around anymore at all, I had to stop playing suddenly. Before that, I was in Symbiosis on cWoW until its demise. It was my first guild there actually, Aldy saw me doing well with shit gear in a couple of BGs and invited me himself. It was one hell of a ride after that.

• What would you bring to Final Exit as a guild?

Lots of good will, I could help guildies with gearing up and farming mats (heck, I need to do that desperately myself). Also decursing.

• What would you expect from Final Exit as a guild?

Nice and relaxed atmosphere when we are not raiding, dedication and respect for fellow guildies when we are going for some phat loot.



That's it from me, I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys and get some constructive criticism and/or pieces of advice regarding my gear.

Sincerelly, Vutra.

I can tell you put a lot of effort into the application, however, in my opinion the gear isn't anywhere close to being ready to raid at the moment. You'd need to re-spec to Fire (we don't raid as Frost because the damage pales in comparison to fire for AQ40/Naxx, because of Ignite), farm up the gold for the Bloodvine set 3/3 and for buying the Sylvan Nature Resist set 3/3 + Gaea's Embrace, as well as using your vote-points to get some of the other +hit gear (Bloodtinged Gloves, etc...), do some LBRS/UBRS to get Briarwood Reed and Eye of the Beast for HUGE trinket upgrades. You should just goto the wow-one website's forums, and follow the BiS mage gearing list and run those instances to get the gear on that list, trying to have as close to 10% +hit from gear as possible, before applying to an end-game guild. You can even reserve the items before you run the instance, that way you are guaranteed the loot, if it drops.

However, I have no say-so in the end; this is simply my suggestion to you, as a fellow mage.

Only bad thing in this apply is gear , as budheavy say , u need to get the right pre-raid stuff then u can have possible chance to get invite .. Then is question if will be a slot for u cause i think , there are many ,good geared and active mages for our raids .. , but everything is in Xelthion´s hands ,u must wait for his respond.
Regards, Holy

That's what I was expecting, some suggestions and constructive criticism as I already mentioned up there. Thanks for the advice!

Hey there,

You have pieces of gear I actually never heard of, looked them up and they're rather useless or crappy for mages.. (I actually don't think your spellpower is higher than 150, or even have 1% hit from gear)
I really can not take this into our guild, and we already have a ton of active mages.
So for now, declined.
Good luck finding a more suitable guild! :)
Tip: go look on feenix forums for a mage BiS pre-raid thread. Even though I won't take you with that it is still a lot better than what you are currently using and will bring you in any MC (probably even BWL) guild without problems.

greetings,
Xelthion
