04a What raiding experience do you have with this character?

Vanilla - Cleared ZG, MC, BWL, AQ20. AQ40 up to Huhuran, in Naxx, only Instructor. I Was in Killing Um All before it died. BC - I did not play BC due to work/school conflicts, and I hated the lore to boot. WotLK - Everything in Naxx 10/25, Uld, including 10m hardmodes up to Algalon, though I have never downed him. All of ToC and 4/5 kills in ToGC with many attempts on Anub. I am currently 10/12 in Icc 10, missing BQL (for terrible, terrible pug-only reasons) and LK. I have seen BQL to 4%(as a tank) and LK to 22ish. I know both fights well. In 25 man I am 7/12, first wing plus Fester, Rot and Val. I have only been able to experience hardmode gunship. I started back in WotLK about halfway through when Uld was top tier, and since then have tried to stay on the cusp on content as best as a pug can.

11-25 hours

08. Previous Guilds and why you left them?

KuA in vanilla - Guild died at about the time Turam left, Nuff said. Super Best Friends Club in WotLK - I am current GM of this guild. I inherited it from my friends who made it at 70, it is purely social now. I have pugged all of WotLK, as I did not want to abandon my friends. I am sick of gimping myself and my enjoyment, and wish to raid once again.

09a What other mmo have you played before WoW ?

MMO, as in not just MMORPG's? If so, Wc3. As for mmorpgs, just WoW and a brief stint with WAR.

10. Are you able to take constructive criticism ?

yes

10a. How do you manage constructive criticism ?

No one is harder on me than myself. I own up to mistakes and rarely make them twice. I understand that no one is perfect, myself included.

11. Tell us a little bit about yourself

I am a dedicated player who enjoys winning. I like to play with people like me. I go to college in NYC, though I am currently home for the summer (I will still be able to raid when I go back). I am friendly, though not much a talker on vent. I work part time and like to hangout with my friends whenever I'm not glued to my computer (which I built myself).

12. Why should Datus Mortalis recruit you?

I am a competent and aware raider. I rarely make the same mistake twice. I am a fast learner and can master complicated fights after just a bit of practice. I can make raid times and progression is my crack. Nothing is better in WoW than downing a boss that you've been working on for weeks. I don't QQ about loot, I play to enjoy myself, not to raise my GearScore to over 9000. I know my class inside and out. I am sick of pugging, and I am eager to be given the chance to perform to my full potential.

13. Did you READ and AGREE to our GUILD RULES,

Yes

14 . What does Datus Mortalis mean?

If its latin, Give mortality? Not positive.

15. Please post a link to a Raid Parse ( WoW web stats / World of Logs )

I am not so good at raid parses, but that screenshot above was for a 25 deathbringer about a month ago, I now do about 11-12k on that same fight.

16. Any additional comments you would like to add?

Thanks for taking the time to look over my application. Feel free to ask any questions, or request anything I forgot to include. Happy raiding!

Your gear seems to be on par with what I would expect of a raider of your background (pugging, etc) - also I see you are utilizing both saronite craftables so I can see that you have attempted to make any available gear improvements possible. IF you made it in a raid your other tier pieces would easily become sanctifieds as we have no further need for tokens for mainspec ;-)

Feral druids are admittedly the only melee class I know very little about, but from I can see you are doing most everything correct. I woulld gladly offer you a tryout spot if you are interested. Our melee core is very solid and usually does not have any spots available, however, with summer coming we are trying to stay ahead on vacations and LoAs, and if you can prove yourself competent and friendly you may earn a more permanent spot. Contact me, Rancorus or Rawx in game.

Since Super was so nice to lock the thread I'll edit his post.
Outside of a minor spec issue don't know if it's prefrance or a big deal that'd be up to ranc and his infinite knowledge of the feral dps spec... /cough...
So the only thing I can find with an established kitty dps spec is a lack of points in survival and feral instincts, and finishing out imp mangle and imp LoP. From what I remember Feral dps was intense missing an ability in the rotation could be disasterous to the end result you seem to have a grasp of how to perform. With time you'll get some heroic gear and settle in with the rogues on standstill fights. While you might not always get a raid spot the chances are someone will be gone and we'll need people to fill in and if the raid comp works we'll find a way to get you into the raids. Thanks for your time and if my beleifs were unfounded with your spec issue I apologize.
Rawx,
Melee Officer
