Character History

Previous Guilds - Why did you leave? go into details!:
Lemuria, during TBC on Talnivarr Alliance, I left/stopped playing before Sunwell due to majority of the officers quitting or migrating, it was a casual guild.
Lost Cause, during WotLK on Magtheridon Horde, I left/stopped playing during Ulduar due to GM getting permanetly banned for exploiting Flame Leviathan with 4 towers and guild falling apart shortly after, it was a semi hardcore guild.
Madhouse, during WotLK and Cataclysm on Talnivarr Horde, I left/stopped playing due to GM deciding to kill the guild after struggling for some time to get the raids going, it was a semi hardcore guild.

Previous Raiding Experience (Write down all your previous experience not just the latest content)?
With Lemuria I raided SSC (up to Vash'j), TK (up to Kael'thas), Gruul's Lair, Magtheridon's Lair, Karazhan and a bit of Zul'Aman, with Lost Cause I raided Naxxramas10/25, OS10/25, EoE10/25 and a bit of Ulduar10/25 (several Hard Modes before they fell apart), with Madhouse it was ICC10/25 (11/12 HC pre expansion), RS10/25 (only normal), BWD10/25 (6/6 HC), BoT10/25 (5/5 HC), TotFW10/25 (2/2 HC), FL10 (7/7 HC) and DS10 (7/8 HC)

Other

How do you prepare for raids?:
I never had problems with preparing for raids, things like making sure I don't have to go to the bathroom during the raid, having a sufficient amount of consumables, repair before the raid, be in a proper spec with proper glyphs/gear/etc., as I said, it's not something that's a bother to me, and mostly just comes naturally.

Do you know anyone in the guild?
Yes I do, my former guildmate Blazër.

MBUTTON5 - Charge
MBUTTON4 - Execute
SHIFT+MBUTTON5 - Mortal Strike
SHIFT+MBUTTON4 - Overpower

Other things I click.

Please explain your playstyle(Rotation / Prio list):
To me Arms is very simple and quite natural to play because I have been playing the spec since 2006, my usual Patchwerk style fight rotation/ability queue is I start with Charge, MS, Rend, CS, MS, OP, Slam, etc., and then keep the following priority, MS > CS > OP > Slam > HS as a rage dump in excess rage situations.

How do you keep updated on your class changes and theorycrafting?:
I normally just read Elitist Jerks or MMO Champion but in most cases there is nothing new to learn, as I said Arms is quite natural to me and I master it with ease.

What do you think is important for maintaining a good guild and how do you approach this?:
I'm more of a "tell-me-what-to-do-and-I-will-do-it" type of person which means I don't get involved into guild politics etc., so I can't really answer this.

Why do you want to join Ascension?:
Well first of all, because I want to raid, second of all, because I don't want to transfer for now, third of all, because my buddy Gerald is in it, and forth and final of all because Ascension is an alright guild to be in.

Also, I'm more than happy to help you guys out if my application gets approved.

Anything else you want to share with us? If you felt we missed something in the template, tell us here!:
I don't think so, if I think of anything I'll make sure to add it here.

I hope you'll consider my application, thanks and have a good evening.

Hey Fil, how you doing bud?

Well straight to the point, guys this guy is amazing with his warrior. He never fails to top the meters and neither tactics. He knows what he's doing and can be a really big +1 to the guild.

Hope you'll be raiding with me again bud!

Regards,
Blazer

I'm alright as always, miss raiding now, thought I wouldn't be interested for a long time again since Adam ruined it for me during the last few weeks/months of Madhouse, such a bad experience having him as a raid leader.

Anyway, thanks for the kind post of yours, but I did fail to top the meters about 3-4 times hehehe .

Hello, do me a favor sir , befor you faction change , farm me the argent tournament alliance pets pretty please.

I'm not faction changing anything, at least not in the near future, the character I'm applying with is already on the same faction and realm. Sorry to disappoint you.

Hi Filip, thank you for your interest in Ascension. A well made application, you meet gear requirements and you have good experience. However, as you already know we are very melee heavy at the moment, that is my only concern considering if we can squeeze you in or not. One solution is to be invited as a social/backup raider to begin with, and see if we can fit you in the core at a later time. Unless you are looking for a immediate raiding spot ofcourse

The officers will review your application, stay tuned for updates.

Good morning, I want to start by saying that I'm a reasonable person and I know how it can be in tight 10 man guilds, even before writing this application I knew that I wouldn't be raiding as much as I did with Madhouse because I'm familiar with the roster situation in the guild, with that said I'm prepared to face whatever is thrown at me, attendance wise, meaning no hard feelings or similar if I don't get to attend the raid, only situation in which I'm expecting to get a raid spot for now is either if someone from your core group is absent, like I discussed it with Blazër and Reeplay yesterday, or if the person that's not of crucial value to the fight has all the gear from that given boss on which I still need loot from. Thanks and I'm looking forward to hearing from you again.
