Provide a screenshot of your UI http://i.imgur.com/hRB8U.jpg Can you take constructive criticism and being call out on mistakes (both in and out of raid)? Yes Final comments you feel could help your application I'm a very capable raider. My one hardship in finding raids is the fact that my university block a lot of ports and I need to use a proxy to use speech programs. Unfortunatley, TS and Vent don't allow the use of proxy's. On my main I use Mumble, which is an amazing alternative. The 6/12 I've done so far have been without Vent. I'm very aware of the battlefield, and have no trouble noticing whats going on. As is my character still hasn't put the finishing touches on his gear. The rest of enchants and gems, as well as JP gear will be bought as soon as my toon finds a raid. Have you applied to the WoW usergroup? Yes
Looks like you're wearing a lot of unenchanted resil gear. Is this what you raid in? PS: The narwhal bacons at midnight.
No, did a bit of early morning pvp today, switched to PVE gear, so there shouldn't be any more problems.
6 unenchanted items Missing Ebonsteel Belt Buckle Being fully gemmed and enchanted is a necessity for progression raiding. I've noticed you have not reforged any of your gear. Is this something you are looking to do and if so what stats would you prioritize?
Reforging: on my warrior every single piece of gear I changed would require an almost total reforging to reach the closest to cap on hit/expertise, so I'm used to not reforging until raid time, but it looks different on a pally. If the item has spirit and haste I wont reforge. If it has haste but not spirit, I'll reforge the other stat to spirit. If it has spirit and not haste, I'll reforge to haste. If it has neither I'll reforge mastery to spirit. All the enchants(asides from Therazane shoulder enchant) and gems are in my backpack ready to be applied. I'm waiting for a raid to apply them, in case an upgrade drops.
You seem like a nice person and know what you're doing. Most of our raid spots are filled, but Lime may need a healer for his weekend (10am-3pm) raids. Can you make those times? If we accept you for a trial, all the basic stuff applies: we expect that if you're coming to raids you're fully enchanted/gemmed/reforged, and would have some way of communicating easily during raids if TS is an issue. Also, you'd be expected to put in effort outside of raids to get geared up ASAP (ie, reputations/heroics/etc).
Yes, I can make those time. If you would be willing to use mumble for the raid, I have a server up for it. This is a pretty new 85. I just replaced most gear under 346(except for one trinket), and I will be working on that and rep next. I love raiding by the way, and if you want me for the raid, I'll be gemmed, enchanted, and ready. Edit: This week specifically, I'm saved to BoT and BWD. I also have no items under 346 and am currently working on getting rep.
To clear things up a a bit, I currently have in my inventory 4 brilliant inferno rubies, 1 purified demonseye, and 1 reckless ember topaz. Also, enchant weapon-heartsong, boots-haste, gloves-haste, cloak-intellect, bracer-exceptional spirit. Currently Israeli is at 349 ilvl (equipped) fully reforged. He won't be raiding this week, in case you decide to give him a test run next weekend.
I'm happy to announce that with the use of a VPN and Remote Desktop I can now use TS, and vent. Unfortunately, I can't speak, but I can hear everything that's being said.
