Character History

Previous Guilds - Why did you leave? go into details!:

Old School - I was in this Guild briefly as I started playing Cataclysm, however I had problems with fitting around their raid schedule with the amount of college work I had to do (was still in College at the time) so I thought it was best to play a lot more casual and left. (Also took a long break from the game, League of Legends had my attention for a long while)!

Infinite Loop - I was in this Guild over the course of about a year and managed to clear Firelands up to Ragnaros HC to start and then fully cleared Dragon Soul 8/8HC. I would say the main reason why I left the Guild is that a lot of the members didn't fit with the type of raiding (was very unsocial). We all left towards the end of Cataclysm and reformed with the new Guild on the block, Keltori.

Keltori - This was the Guild which was supposed to be massively successful on this server. We managed to get bosses down very quickly to start however about 2 weeks into the expansion a main Tank and Healer (which joined as a dual app) left. We managed to recruit another healer (IHasBucket) and swapped one of our DPS over to a Tank and did ok, cleared 8/8 in a night. Shortly after this I went on holiday for a week and basically both of our main Officers at the time (Littlebailey and Leo) have massive job/IRL commitments and couldn't raid anymore. We've basically fizzled out and lost a lot of members because of this and the Guild will be disbanding soon.

Previous Raiding Experience (Write down all your previous experience not just the latest content)?

TBC Experience:
Karazhan - 12/12
Zul'Aman - 6/6
Gruul's Lair - 2/2
Magtheridon's Lair - 1/1
SSC - 6/6
TK - 4/4
MH - 5/5
BT - 9/9
Sunwell - Was into PvP at this point, didn't enter Sunwell until Wrath of the Lich King.

WotLK Experience:
Naxxramas - 12/12
The Nexus - 1/1
VoA - 4/4
Obsidian Sanctum - 1/1 - Including 3D on 10 man (this is actually how I passed my Trial in my WLK Guild as they were wiping for days on this and on the 3rd attempt with me on my DK Tanking the adds we managed to take it down)!
Ulduar - 10/14 - This is where our Guild really got going, until the GL ninja'd Guild bank. (The Guild actually killed Mimiron on a day I was absent from Raid, but shouldn't really be in my raid experience).

Took a break after Ulduar.

Onyxia's Lair - 0/1
ToTC - 0/5
ICC - 0/12

Cata Experience:
I didn't raid at all (wasn't playing) until Firelands was released.

When did you start playing your character?: Start of Mists of Pandaria.

Please write a detailed list of your current alts and their armory links:

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/draenor/Qu%C3%A9eful/advanced - This is the Character I joined Infinite Loop on in Firelands.
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/draenor/Spellign/advanced - This is the Rogue alt I rerolled to at the end of Cataclysm, I planned to play him in MoP but I thought I'd try out the new Class and really enjoyed it.

How do you prepare for raids?: Read up on tactics on Icyveins, check for any changes with Addons (Mainly DBM), check Elitistjerks for any niche things I could do in a Raid and sometimes I look at Method's Class Guides when they get updated.

Do you know anyone in the guild? I know IHasBucket but I've only really known him for about a week.

Do you use keybindings (list them if you do)?:

Normal Binds: 1-4, Q, E, Z, X, C, F1, F2, F3, F4,
Modifiers: ALT 1-4, ALT Q, ALT E, Shift 1-4
I also use a Razer Naga Epic, so I have all the rest of my binds on those buttons (mainly Pots, Flasks, Extra Buttons, Healthstones etc..).

Please explain your playstyle(Rotation/Prio list):

Monk Rotations are very strange, it's very much a try-and-fit-everything-in rotation and you kinda run out of GCD's to do everything with procs.

Flying Serpent Kick into fight.
Keep Tiger Palm stacked.
Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger.
Energizing Brew When less than 40 Energy.
Rising Sun Kick for 10% damage debuff.
Tigereye Brew at 10 stacks.
Fists of Fury (if immobile).
Rising Sun Kick.
Use Combo Breaker Procs.
Blackout Kick if Chi capped.
Jab if energy is capping.
Blackout Kick.
Jab.
Flying Serpent Kick.

How do you keep updated on your class changes and theorycrafting?: As I mentioned before with Raid prep, I do pretty much exactly the same as that however I look at the Raid Journal for certain abilities if I'm not 100% sure.

What do you think is important for maintaining a good guild and how do you approach this?: Community, progress, drive and willingness to not want to be babysat by others. I feel community plays a MASSIVE part in Raiding just knowing what other people are like and what they would do in 'x' situation is valuable.

Why do you want to join Anguish?: I want to find a new home. I've been in some brilliant Guilds with great communities and unfortunately it's had to end so I'm looking for somewhere else I can stay in for a long time and progress far into Mists of Pandaria competitively, noone likes being at the bottom.

Anything else you want to share with us? If you felt we missed something in the template, tell us here!: Also have some WoL's from previous fights. One of the Logs is from last night, we took a few PuGs so excuse their lack of ability . Another one is from raiding with IHasBucket when we cleared out Vaults and I'm going to also link the Logs for our Guild so you can take a look through them and see.

Sounds good to me! I don't think I'd be as good at healing though . I can roll around pretty good though?
