Raid Related Information

Available raid times, how do you feel about extending raids? :

Ruiz

Class/Spec:

Played time (main char):
Since i just rerolled to my Rogue char i feel i should give you my pala's /played time because she was my main in wotlk and untill the 4.3 patch. And it is 59 days, 4 hours. And my rogue's /played time is 8 days, 5 hours.

Character History

Previous Guilds - Why did you leave? go into details!:
(since my pala was my main untill 4.3 i will give it's character history info rather then my rogues which hasn't been in any guild so far)
The 1st guild on this server i was in was "Drive by Spankers". I left the guild because as a co-founder, and a part-time raid leader, i felt that some people didn't take the whole raiding experience serious enough. Raiding became just too stressful for me that way. Then a couple of us close friends / co-raiders switched to "Madhouse" guild (in which i expected a less stressful raiding environment since i was not an officer anymore) even tho i had some trouble in my private life at that point and i was only able to raid 2/4 days of their raiding schedule i accepted to join. After some time Madhouse felt that they should start 10-man raiding instead of 25-man and ask me to be their pala healer for those 10 mans which i had to refuse since i couldn't meet their full-time raiding schedule which was a "must" for 10-man raiding. After declining that offer i just left the guild and decided to reroll to my rogue. At the moment i am stationed in a RL friend's guild (just for lol's) not raiding or anything.

Previous Raiding Experience?
Some basic vanilla raiding (some ZG and MC raids) with my 1st char (Rogue), Full TBC experience (from kara to BT) at that point i was playing a holy priest with which i cleared all of the TBC content with a croatian-only guild, cleared all WOTLK raids as well (naxx 10-25 man (on my DK), ulduar 10-25 man (also on my DK) (didnt kill yogg'saron at the time being on 25 man), totc 10-man (DK / pala), then i rerolled to pala and co-founded drive by spankers and i started raidleading Icecrown citadel both 10 and 25 man which we (Drive by Spankers) cleared completely (before last nerf patch)).
Cata raids: Drive by spankers started 25 man raids in cata which didnt work out and then we split in two 10-man raids (i was raidleading one of them) and cleared Bot and bwd completely on normal difficulty before nerf patch. At that point we joined Madhouse as i already said before and then we killed Nefarian 10-man (2 weeks before firelands) on Heroic mode as well as Sinestra. When firelands landed Madhouse started 10 man raiding and as i said i left the guild so i didnt raid Firelands (i actually cleared it in 4.3 with my druid tank, but that doesn't count ). As far as Dragon Soul is concerned i have cleared the LFR edition from all aspects (ranged DPS, Meele DPS, Healing and Tanking) killed only 6/8 on normal mode with my druid tank.

When did you start playing your character?:
I started and finished leveling my rogue during cataclysm and my previous char (Pala) in wotlk.

Ul-screenshot, Prefered in a 10 or 25man raid (raidfinder works fine) (link):
Didn't prepare one so i am very sorry about that. If you insist on it i will join a LFR raid and make one

Other

How do you prepare for raids?:
Buy flasks, buy pots, buy food, get food IRL, get drinks IRL, turn off my torrents and do some yoga ofc

Do you know anyone in the guild?
No but i am hoping to meet loads !

Do you use keybindings (list them if you do)?:+
Yes ofcourse i do and the list is:
1,2,3,4,5,6 - in order: redirect, sinister strike, revealing strike, eviscerate, feint and dismantle
G - recuperate
T - kick
F - slice and dice
shift+1 - tricks of the trade
shift+2 - killing spree
shift+3 - cloak of shadows
i like to keep my cooldown abilities without keybindings so i dont fuck up and click them accidentally (i am a really "active" clicker )

Please explaine your playstyle(Rotation / Prio list):
I start the fight with tricks of the trade (and try to use them as soon as they are off cd because of the new tier set 2 combo), then 2x sinister strike which give from 2-4 combo points (because of the Sinister strike glyph) use those combos for slice and dice (repeat the same thing when slice and dice is about to run off (3-4 sec left)). Then i start the real DPS with 2-4 sinisters (again depending on the glpyh proc) followed by 1x revealing strike to get the bonus for my eviscerate and then use eviscerate. And basically repeat that thing during the whole fight, having in mind to renew my slice and dice. I use my cooldown abilities (killing spree, adrenalin rush, engineering gloves thingy) at the start of the fight and every time they come off cooldown.

Rawr (program)
and ofcourse the holy bible (just kidding)

What do you think is important for maintaining a good guild and how do you approach this?:
Well the most important thing to me is the balance between social relations and serious raiding. I try to bring my closest two friends, my humor and good mood, with me in the guild, and maintain a focused / relaxed and serious mind to the raids.

Why do you want to join Ascension?:
I have heard from couple of your members that the guild leadership is very good and that you guys have a bright future. And after speaking to one of your officers you guys seem as a pleasant environment in which i would feel comfortable.

Anything else you want to share with us? If you felt we missed something in the template, tell us here!:
Not really. Just hope that you guys enjoy my application. )
