PLEASE NOTE: This is a joint application with my wife, Otta. We enjoy playing WoW together and this would obviously be difficult if we were not in the same guild, so this application is made on the assumption that both of us would be taken into the guild, even if that means not always raiding together. Thanks for understanding.
SERENITY APPLICATION FORM
Instructions:
- Please check the list of classes we are recruiting at the Class/Recruitment Availability
- Copy and paste this form into a new thread in the Recruitment forums.
- Truthfully answer ALL of the questions in the application. Incomplete applications will be denied on sight!
Before you even bother, have you read our guild rules and goals? Does it corresponds to what you are looking for?
(X) YES ( ) NO Note: by ticking YES, you agree to follow the guild charter.
In game name (including previous names if any): Cogwhirl
Age: 28
From: Staffordshire in England
Class and build:
(This is the class and specc we expect you to be raiding with. No main-alt changing and no specc changing without approval from your Class Leader. You can bring all your alts in
the guild if you want, but this will be the character/specc that will be invited into raids.)
Rogue, with my preferred spec of Mutiliate (51/13/7). I enjoy it as I find it much more involving than Combat specs. When fully raid-buffed I can reach up to 5-7k DPS on "stand and stab" fights. When raid-buffed my hit rating is 280 and my crit is about 47% - can't remember my AP off the top of my head, though unbuffed it is 3631.
Dual Spec: (Please state which 2nd spec you have with the new dual-spec system and comment your gear for it).
I also have a Sword Combat spec (18/53/0), but it's mainly unused and was considering switching it to Maces if I lay my hands on a suitable MH.
Link to your Armory, CTProfiles, or RPGOutfitters page? (If you are not using your raiding specc because of PvP or whatever reason, please link the raiding specc you will be using):

Former guilds (on Bronzebeard or on your current realm):
My first guild was Angels From Hell (the second-best guild on the server pre-TBC), who I joined when Cog was somewhere in his level 20s, not long after I started playing a few years ago. In TBC the guild split and reformed as Affinity.
Why did you leave your former guilds?:
I have never left a guild before Affinity since it was a reformation of Angels From Hell. I'm leaving Affinity as it no longer has the spirit it once had, and I'm looking to start anew. Note that the Armoury currently shows me as still being in Affinity at the time of this app, but I have left the guild already - it just needs time to update, I guess.
What is your former raid experience (pre-TBC, TBC, WotLK)?
Pre-TBC: All raid instances up to C'Thun, and one foray into Naxx-40 just before TBC hit.
TBC: All raid instances and bosses up to Archimonde in Mount Hyjal and Reliquary of Souls in Black Temple.
WotLK: Naxx 10/25 cleared, Malygos 10/25 cleared, Sartharion 10 and Sartharion + 2 drakes on 25-man, Ulduar 25-man up to Yogg-Saron. I've not really bothered with Ulduar 10-man.
Also killed the first boss in the Trial of the Crusader (25-man normal), as my shiny off-hand dagger will attest to .
Why do you want to join Serenity?
I enjoy raiding and want to join a guild that is understanding of real-life whilst still being dedicated to downing the latest bosses. According to your Guild Charter, that sounds like precisely what you offer
Do you have open applications to other guilds?
Nope.
Any member in Serenity that can vouch for you?
I had a browse of the guild list on the Armory, but the only name I know of is Frung, who was in Angels from Hell (or possibly when it was Affinity) for a while. Top man, great singing voice
[color=red]The important questions now. Please take a moment to think about those before you answer. [/color]
This is probably the most important question. We are a raiding guild, and even though we do not force anyone into raiding, we are expecting players that will join us to show interest in raiding at least 2-3 days each week.
Can you play at our official raiding times which are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 9pm - 1am server time?
Currently I can make Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I'm a Christian, so that means Sundays will always be a nogo for me. The other three raids I have no reason not to be able to attend.
Can you log on to the Serenity website and sign up on the raid calendar each week whether you can attend raids or not?
Yes, that's exactly what I was already doing in Affinity.
Do you intend to show up for raids prepared, PVE raid specced, repaired, enchanted, gemmed and with a minimum set of buffs (food buffs and potions/flasks)?
Once again, that's exactly what I was already doing. I realise it's a frustration for both officers and other raid members to wait on another player while they get flasks etc, so I'm normally ready and at the instance at least ten minutes before the raid start time.
I have a mage with Alchemy (with Elixir Specialisation) who can make the flasks for me, and Cog is a 450 cook with all the cooking recipes you can buy in Dalaran, so I can be fairly self-sufficient.
We are using a Zero-Sum DKP system, do you agree with this? (X) YES ( ) NO
