    1. Character Info: Name, Class, Main Spec (Link armory):
    Masvidal, Death Knight, Unholy DPS (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sargeras&cn=Masvidal)

    2. Explain your talent selection (theorycrafting source, specialization choices etc): I use Unholy spec because I feel it's the most consistent dps raid spec overall in each different types of boss fights.

    3. Your Age: 22

    4. Current professions and their raid benefit: JC and Mining. JC gives me better gems to increase my dps by a bit, so that helps the raid in a sense.

    5. How long you've been playing WoW and what PvE progression you've accomplished: 6 years on and off. Vanilla - cleared all of MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20, AQ40 and did 5 bosses in Naxx before I took a break. BC - I didn't raid or play much. WotLK - ICC 25 12/12, HM 5/12.

    6. Describe how you theorycraft your class (websites, spreadsheets, etc): I use Elitist Jerks website for all my needs.

    7. Occupation and living arrangements that impact raiding (family, schedule, etc): I work in retail, so my schedule is random every week but most of the time I can switch days with employees to meet raid days. Once I go to college I should be good for all raid nights.

    8. List scheduling conflicts (include times for possible weekend 10mans): Random work schedule but can be no problem 99% of the time. I have soccer games at night on Sunday, so ICC 10 will be iffy if it's during that time.

    9. Guild History - where are you leaving and why: Only been in a few guilds in my WoW history, so I'll name them all. :p

    Vanilla - Wicked Mojo(Warsong) - Left to play with friend and increase raiding experience with a top guild.

    Dark Praetors(Warsong/Korgath) - Took a break from game.

    I'll skip BC since I just played with friends.

    WotLK - Was Here(Bloodscalp) - Guild disbanded.

    House of Pain(Archimonde) - Left to transfer to this server.

    Postal Haste - It's basically about to disband any day now.


    10. How did you hear about us? List any friends/references within the guild: Heard about this guild in Aion originially then transferred to this server and saw there was a XoO guild on this server. I know Tendeuce and the newly joined Nihility.

    11. List your raid consumables and your method for maximizing them: Flask of Endless Rage.

    12. Provide your raid damage/healing performance. Examples are Recount Screenshot with personal breakdown of attacks, WoW Web Stats (WWS), or World of Logs: http://img72.imageshack.us/f/wowscrnshot072210143733.jpg/ Sorry that's all that I have that is recent since other logs are quite old and I had to take this screenshot for this application. :p

    13. Provide a screenshot of your UI: http://img804.imageshack.us/f/wowscrnshot071710214018.jpg/

    14. Can you take constructive criticism and being call out on mistakes (both in and out of raid)? Yes I can. If it helps my performance and raids as well I'm all for it.

    15. Final comments you feel could help your application: I'm a very relaxed person to play and talk too and also very hard working raider that always gets the job done. Hope to hear back from someone soon. Thanks for your time. /laugh /blush Tendeuce

    How come you are still unholy + blood sub spec, dps scales so much more with sub frost spec especially on movement fights etc. I know you said you read EJ thats one of the main things that was pointed out when 3.3.3 patch hit.

    You are also wayyy over hit capped. I know it has a lot to do with Cryptmaker but switching out say your bracers or belt for a piece without hit would be a dps increase.

    Looking at your UI it looks like you use only button 1-4, R for Death Coil and click the rest.

    What is your priority system for Unholy from most important to least to important? Blood Strike, Death Coil, Diseases, Scourge Strike, Desolation

    I have tried using the unholy/frost spec before multiple times and I noticed an actual decrease in my dps compared to unholy/blood. Then again it has been a little while since I tested it and some of my gear has been upgraded since last time, so it could be time for another go.

    Yes I know I'm very over the hit cap and it is due to Cryptmaker which I will be switching out next week for Shadow's Edge, so that will bring it down to normal level.

    Yes I am a clicker for a couple things and also I like my buttons spread out a bit. It's just my play style that I brought over from my hunter years ago but it doesn't hinder me at all. :p

    Diseases, Desolation, Blood Strike, Scourge Strike, Death Coil.

    clicking is definitely a bad habit its just so much slower when u have to react to something fast for example AMS on putricide hard mode or when you get shadow flames debuff on blood queen.

    the right order is

    Diseases > Desolation > Scourge Strike > Death Coil > Blood Strike > HoW

    Trust me, clicking does not hinder me at all, I only click basically 2 buttons. I do not keyboard turn or anything and I actually react quicker than most people that don't click.

    Damn, I was close. Knew I should of switched those 3 around. :p

    you may be faster than people who dont know their keybinds but people who do you will never beat them, i click some things as well but thats only BL and a health stone (im a enh sham so its easier just to heal myself)

    I just click Plague Strike, my AOE rotation on trash, when I have to hit Mind Freeze on VDW or something and just random spells like Army of The Dead and such, so it isn't even a big deal.

    Like Roch says someone who has their binds down you will never be faster then. For example i you have to click Mind Freeze to interrupt a spell theres about a 95% chance that it won't be you interrupting because someone who has their interrupt binded will first.

    Army of the Dead is fine to click but the rest is just going to result in a DPS loss. For example you have to click death and decay and have to move your mouse to the middle of the screen to drop it. There's a few seconds of time that will add into a dps loss. There's a reason why all top raiders don't click.

    Unfortunately, you don't seem to be what we're looking for right now. Thanks for the app and best of luck in your guild search.
