Snipely/Teakwood missed the boat, but would like to raid

[Teakwood]

1) Please tell us your class and main spec (including any off-spec information you find relevant) and provide a link to the armory of the character that you are applying with. Be sure log out in the appropriate gear/spec.

Hunter, running MM with Lone Wolf for single target, and BM for fights with more burst or aoe needs.
I have a druid, too. He does... stuff.

2) When you want to research your spec/gear so you can tank/heal/dps better where do you go to get this information? Nearly everyone says EJ, so impress us. Where do you go for your information besides EJ?
Noxxic and Icy Veins. I also Listen to the Hunting Party Podcast and read the Petopia and WoW hunter forums.


3) How willing are you to switch roles (tank to dps, dps to healer, etc.) if your class allows for it? Are you willing to switch specs for specific fights (e.g. a mage going frost for add kiting on Nef)? Note: If you were recruited as dps we will understand if you do not want to be a permanent tank/healer, but it's good to know if we can hot-swap you if someone's absent that day.
Very. I Greatly enjoy tanking and would gladly get my DK ready to go if he was ever needed.


4) What is your current raid progression? If it is different from the character you are applying with, also tell us why you are switching mains.
I came with the guild to SoO. Remember?


5) Do you have any notable achievements when raiding previous tiers? (e.g. Killing Kael'thas in TK before he was skippable, Bane of the Fallen King before 4.0.1, etc.)
Not really. Just saw them all, either as a tank or DPS.


6) Do you have any World of Logs reports or Recount breakdown screenshots you could link or post so we can get a feel for your performance?
Nto at this time. I can put one together if needed.


7) What are your professions, are they maxed, and why did you choose these? If they are gathering professions would you be willing to switch to a more raid viable profession?
Mining, Engineering
My Druid is Herbalism/ Alchemist
Happy to switch and profs if needed.

8) Are you available to make both scheduled raid days for the group you are applying to (Sat/Mon for Group 1, Wed/Thursday for Group 2)? Obviously things come up, we understand that. We have a 75% attendance policy. However we are looking for dependable raiders.
Wed/Thurs for sure, Sat/Mon most likely.


9) In which timezone do you play? Are you aware that we are a Pacific Time (PST) server and schedule our events at primetime for our server (usually starting around 7-8 p.m.)? If you are transfering, have you tested that you have adequate ping to our server (located in California) that your gameplay will not be lagged?
I live in MST, but don't mind playing late.


10) What other guilds have you been a part of and what were their primary goals? Why did you choose to leave your former guilds?
Was in CHAOS for a long time. Thy were a social/ PVE raid guild. I left them because I disagreed with how the guild was run. I was an officer with Dissension, but too many people left in the late days of Cataclysm for the guild to stay together. After Dissension, I went to Tortured. I took a break in late Pandaria, and came back to a guild with nobody familiar in it. I decided to leave to be with friends I'd acquired from Wildstar and previous guilds.


11) Are you currently guilded, and if so, have you informed your current guild leader that you are applying with us?
All of my characters are currently in BYTM.


12) What do you expect to accomplish with Be Your True Mind?
I wish to continue to friendships I have built, while being a part of a consistent and active raid team.


13) What really annoys you in a guild?
People who can't take a joke, or continually tout their own accomplishments. I don't like anyone who tells others how to play this game if it's not warranted or presented in a kind manner.


14) Do you know any of our members? If so, how do you know them?

I know most of them.

15) Are you the type to regularly visit your guild's forums? Note: We often post strategies on the forums and require that any absences be posted in advance. If you're forum-phobic this isn't a good guild for you to raid with.

Yes. I make sure to visit the forums at least twice a week. More if I'm told there's something I need to see.

16) Give us a few reasons why we should chose you for our guild.

I'm charming, damn it.
I'm happy to tank or DPS, as well as adjust my performance to meet a strategy.

17) If you mated a bulldog and a shitsu, would it be called a bullshit?
Yes.


18) Please take a few sentences to tell us about yourself; how old you are, what you do for a living or what you study, what other games you might play, etc.

I'm 30 years old, I work in IT management and occasionally act on stage. My degree is in geography and I have two standard poodles.

19) Finally, please post a screenshot of your UI so we can see what it looks like. You can list any hidden addons or keybindings which are useful for your playstyle, particularly if they're hidden and not immediately obvious from the screenshot.

It's pretty close to the standar UI. I jsut use bartender to move all the buttons to bottom and get rid of the art bars. I like to be able to see both my character and my target without a lot of clutter.
