Please briefly summarize your gear quality/level and post an armory.worldofwarcraft.com link. Your main spec's gear should be displayed on the official Armory. If you think your main spec's gear might not be displayed on the official Armory at some point, include a profile link that has it (such as chardev.org).

Gear: My current gear quality is in the higher end of Wotlk content. I have many best in slot pieces and enchants.

What is your preferred talent build? Discuss why you chose this spec over other possibilities. If you play a hybrid class, will you be able to respec according to the raid group's needs? If so, what other talent builds can you accommodate (skillwise and gearwise)?

Prefered Talent Build: 51/0/20 - This enables me to pick up Beacon of Light and 5% critical strike from the Ret tree.

List all Death Wish members you know (if any), and how you know them. What will they have to say about you?

Im not really familiar with many Death Wish memebers. I dont know them personally but i know of most of them.

List your World of Warcraft guild history and the server of each. Why did you leave each guild? If asked, what would they have to say about you?

I started out as a Alliance Paladin 4 years ago on Frostmane (US), during this time i knew little to nothing about the game, but War Front was just forming and I joined up to enter pre-bc in a raiding guild. There we became famous. And were known as the best PvE guild on Frostmane. After BC came out i rerolled horde on the same server because many of my IRL friends played there. After hitting 70 and raiding SSC/TK i transfered to Kil'jaeden to be in BG9. On KJ i was only in one guild named IRON. They werent the best guild but they got shit done, and here i cleared hyjal/BT, and eventually up to felmyst in Sunwell. IRON however could not pass Felmyst because well, they werent skilled enough, and after 3 months or so I got sick of Felmyst and left to Blackrock to focus on PvP. On Blackrock as many of you know Death and Taxes rerolled horde side there and I was offered a spot. I played with DnT for about 5-6 months Killing every boss in BC pre-nerf and gaining experience with some of the best players in the world like KiB, and Deezi. However once the Nerfs to PvE hit, raiding became pointlessly easy and at the time I had gained 2150 first week of season 4, so it seemed appropriate to quit until Wotlk. After Wotlk came out, many of the people I knew transfered to Cho'gall and with me being removed from DnT for inactivity, i decided to leave the Aussie infested server behind.

*DO YOU HAVE A MIC AND WILL YOU TALK?* Y/N
Y

IF Y, Move on to rest of application. IF N, please explain why you don't and fix the problem immediately. If you are unable to get a mic/unwilling to talk on vent, please look for another guild.

Game Play

What days and times are you available/unavailable during the course of the week?
I am avalible to play from 2:30pm (ST) - 1am (ST) monday-Friday and all day on Sat-Sunday

If accepted, when is the earliest you can start raiding with Death Wish?
I can start immediately if needed

What World of Warcraft PvE end-game experience do you have (Before and After BC)? Be specific. (eg. 5/6 in SSC, 1/4 in TK working on Vashj).
Pre BC: Every instance was cleared including Kel'Thuzad in Naxxaramas
BC: Again, everything in BC was cleared pre-nerf (KJ as well)
WOTLK: I have cleared all of WoTLk, except for 3/3 drakes on H OBS

What games have you played at a 'hardcore' level? Please briefly describe your experience with these games.
Never had any other hardcore level experience

Each raid will most likely involve using a large quantity of consumables. Are you self-sufficient when it comes to being prepared with consumables?

Yes, farming isnt an issue for me, and i always have consumables on hand.

Having at least the best gear obtainable outside of raid instances is mandatory, and they should be enchanted and socketed with the best enchants and gems. Do you agree to this?

Yes, although even if its not best in slot i still gem/enchant with best.

Death Wish raids many days a week with Mondays through Thursdays being the most vital. When new high end raid dungeons are available to us, we typically spend every night in that instance for about six hours. There are also outdoor raid bosses that may require our immediate attention. We also may decide to extend our normal raiding time beyond our scheduled raid time. You may be asked to stay with the raid until we quit for the night. Are you comfortable with this?
Yes

Are you willing to install, copy to, and participate in the PTR to help us get a jump on new content?
Yes

Do you enjoy WoW PvP/Arena? List any notable accomplishments you feel you have made regarding this.
I love to arena/pvp, im currently 2k rating in 2s or was before we remade team, although i have never acieved a glad title. I have been 2,300s several times

Please post a screenshot of your UI (in a raid setting) and Briefly describe why your setup is beneficial to you.

How did you come across our recruitment forums? (eg. Website? WoW Forums?)
Was told by Grumbles to apply

What are your reasons for applying to join Death Wish, over another guild?
Death Wish is the best guild on the server for PvE, thats what I want to be apart of

Are you currently applying to any other guilds?
N o

Player desirablity is low-medium for every class. Openings for raid spots are competitive and you may not be guaranteed a raid spot every time, especially during your trial period. Are you comfortable with this?
Yes

Do you meet all of our requirements? If not, which do you not meet, and why?
Yes i do
Describe what you think is your defining quality. What will make us want to recruit you over someone else? Realize that a majority of applications contain some variant of a "want to be the best".
I am one of the most guild deticated players you will ever meet. I push to put extra matts in the gbank, I bring extra consumables to raids, and i always bring my A game. I am a very dependable person, if i say ill do something I will do it.

How long do you see yourself continuing to play World of Warcraft? Try to give the most accurate answer possible.
Also Long as Blizzard decides to keep the servers running, I have no desire to quit.

List a method of contact. Preferably AIM if possibly. You may PM this to Tehalbino or Gokes if you do not wish to make it public.

-email- is my email
Class-specific Questions
Please respond to your class' section. Complete it based on your desired raiding spec. If you are unsure of spec, contact a Death Wish officer for availability, or complete sections for multiple specs. You may delete other class' sections from your application.

Paladin

What is a Paladin's role in an end game instance?
A Paladin's role in end game instancing is to Provide buffs and the best single target healing out of any other healer, and now with Beacon of Light duel target or raid healing is also useable.

What is the difference between a good and bad Paladin?

A good Paladin can bring out the best of his healing in any situation, where as a bad paladin has to focus on himself surviving more than the raid. Also a good paladin maximises his healing by knowing in which situation the right heal is.

Please briefly explain how a Paladin should equip himself for PvE. How should each statistic (eg. Intellect, Crit%, Spell Hit%, Defense, Spell Damage, etc...) be considered, and why?

Well with Wotlk here, the argueabley best stat now is intellect because it increase SP, crit, mp5 and now effects divine plea, but also of curse SP is important along with crit, but gemming intellect is the best way to go.

In a group with multiple Paladins, how can they ensure that the raid is getting the most benefit from Paladin blessings?

PallyPower and knowning who has improved what.

List any and all uses of Blessing of Protection and Divine Shield, and briefly explain when and how they should be used.

Bop can be used for saving a retard when he pulls aggro, other than that its not really useful in PvE, Pvp though it is very sueful against melee opponets to be immune to damage. Divine Shield is a Life saving ability use to become immune to all effects, and for ret can reduce damage taken by party/raid by 30% other than to save ur life its useless lol

Cleansing is often just as important as healing in certain PvE situations. Please explain how you balance your dispelling and other duties in the raid.

Well, cleansing is a priority for paladins. We are the only class who can cleanse posions and on bosses like Heigan, if you dont cleanse then you die, so imo cleansing>healing in some situations because it recues damage taken and is doing healing in it's self

Holy Paladins: When healing in raid-PvE, what spells and ranks do you most commonly use? When do you use them and why?
kinda have to use highest rank, but it really depends on the situation, when a tank is taking large ammounts of damage HS -> Holy Light is best, minor damage HS -> Fol -> fol rinse repeat is fair.

Go into AV and take a screenshot of your raid UI while fighting Balinda or something.
