Character: Cylens
Spec: FB/ttw, my preferred secondary spec is arcane, but it would change around depending on the fight being worked on, frost for vezax hardmode etc.
/played time: 130 days on my mage, about 200 or so overall.
Previous guilds and raiding experience:
For the vast majority of my time on WoW I have been in a single guild, so there isn't an enormous amount to say here.
Rebirth(Agamaggan): More of a casual raiding guild, completed ZG and MC but nothing more. At this point I didn't raid seriously. A few weeks after BC was released i transferred to Hellscream to join a guild with friends. Eventually i decided to raid more seriously so looked for a better guild.
Evil Dead(Hellscream): Joined during tier 4 content. Progressed through tier 4, 5, and 6, becoming an officer in the guild during tier 6 i think, but can't completely remember. Achieved fairly solid progression killing everything in the tiers reasonably quickly, however, during tier 6, due to several core players leaving, signups deteriorated and progression slowed down, and eventually the guild was forced to stop raiding a few weeks prior to the 3.0 patch, with hyjal cleared and up to RoS in BT. Recruited more people in WLK and cleared tier 7 including sarth+3 (which i managed to go to every raid night except for the time we downed him...) During ulduar a repeat performance of tier 6 happened. Recruiting good players to replace bad/inactive ones was very difficult on a bad server like hellscream, and it was difficult to get a full raid of players that could manage hardmodes. Eventually the guild leader decided to step down, because he didn't want the job after leading the guild after 3.5 years, and the guild more or less broke up and became social. Free of responsibilities to the guild, i decided to look for a new more hardcore guild to be a part of.
Extra raid experience notes: I raidlead a 10 man for 1-2 days a week which downed nearly all the hardmodes, and I also have experience of raidleading 25 man ulduar, but became a raidleader only a week or so before the GM stepped down, and so only lead a few runs through 25 man.
Ventrilo: Setup with Microphone working.
Raid times: 19:00-24:00 everyday except saturday, i have no problems with managing these raid times, my old guilds raid times were almost the same and i raided 6-7 days a week there because of 25 mans and 10 mans i was leading.
IRL name: Jack
Location: Reading, UK GMT +0:00
Age: 16
Connection Stability: 9/10, have only had internet go down beyond just reverting to the login screen once in 4 years of playing WoW, and it very rarely disconnects to login screen anyway.
Where/how did you find out we're recruiting?: Was looking for a new guild and found it on wowprogress
level 80 alts Armory URLs:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... am&n=Zoonihttp://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... Sheepgobaaboth ungeared and pretty useless, put most of my time into my mage at level 80, was more active on alts at 70
Professions: Enchanting & JCing, use them just for the self buffs. Also have cooking to keep a supply of fish feasts.
UI reasoning: I only have spells that will be necessary in combat on the showing bars to give a slightly better clarity of view during combat, things i won't need in combat are all under shift-scroll on different bars. I change things around a bit for gimmicky spells such as fire/frost ward that aren't necessary on most fights but are useful if i'm about to die without an incoming heal or ice block on something like mimiron or hodir
Rotations: The FB/ttw which i use as a main spec isn't incredibly difficult to use, but it's the top dps spec at the moment and so i'm using it unless other specs are better.
Keeping living bomb up on the boss is necessary, due to it being the best damage/cast time spell in the spec, then just spam fireball and hope for hot streaks, if living bombs just finishing when i get a hot streak I reapply the bomb at the end of the current cast, then use pyro to minimize ignite munching as much as i can. gems and evocate to keep mana up, and if required to move for any reason, fire blast can help add a small amount of mobile dps in a very stationary dps spec, as well as reapplying living bomb if possible. Combustion and mirror image aren't brilliant cooldowns, but still use combustion early on so i can get some use out of it a few times in a fight. Mirror image does very little damage but is just about worth the GCD on a fight where the images are unlikely to die instantly, or can be used to soak up raid damage so someone else doesnt have to.

Will download any extras required, but I think the ones i use pretty much covers raiding
Why should we recruit you?: I have played the game since a few weeks after release and have had experience in most tiers of raiding, I know my class mechanics as well as i can, im always prepared for raids with flasks and necessary potions , i make sure i know tactics to bosses beforehand and for new bosses i can notice things happening and react accordingly. I don't make the same mistake twice, and I do everything in my ability to not make that mistake the first time.
Sorry for any spelling/grammer mistakes, think i've proof read it through, but i'll have missed something somewhere.
