Average Latency while raiding? 200-350
Average FPS in raid during a boss? 30-60
C. Raiding and Character information
1. Character Name | Spec | Class Restofarian | Restoration | Druid
2. Are you a clicker? No.
3. Do you have any notable alts? Nothing geared to raid.
4. What is your raiding experience Pre-BC? In BC? WoTLK? Specify if in a leadership role. I raided briefly on my shaman in TBC but didn't become active until ToC was the pinnacle of content. By then this druid was my main. Before that I PVPed heavily with multiple classes so mouse turning and reacting quickly isn't a challenging foreign concept. My raiding experience is admittedly limited due to the guilds I've been in; I would often wind up unofficially leading ToC raids because those designated had no idea what they were doing. So far I've only cleared halfway through ICC.
5. Provide an armory link to your character and a wowhead link to your normal raiding spec. Armory (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Akama&n=Restofarian) | Spec (http://www.wowhead.com/talent#0VG0uZZf0fuduxiuVGsVo:Axkz)
6. You will need lots of consumables to keep up with the pace during progression raids. Do you have the will and time to put in enough effort to keep an adequate amount? Yes.
7. Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters? Of course.
8. What do you think about beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content? I've pulled all nighters for less.
9. Post a WWS report / Wow Meter Online of a few recent raids in your guild. If your guild does not run these, post a screenshot(s) of your recount for some boss encounters. (DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT)
These are from back in February...sorry I have nothing more recent. (http://worldoflogs.com/reports/1cq9adwc16ykaeft/)
10. Post a screenshot of your UI while in a raid enviroment (in combat). (Give a list of any relevant addons not shown.)

D. Dual Spec
1. What is your secondary spec? Balance.
2. Are you able to play it as well as your main spec? Yes, but I don't have gear for it.
3. Are you willing to change your main spec and/or secondary spec for guild needs? As long as I'm usually healing that's fine.
E. Professions
1. What are your 2 professions? if they are not maxed to the level of profession perks, why not? Engineering/Mining
2. If you have a gathering profession, what is stopping you from dropping it for a profession that benefits your stats more? I've leveled every profession except leatherworking to max on different characters but as horrific as doing it again sounds I could have enchanting or jewelcrafting up in a week.
F. Other Questions
1. What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM? Include their website. I haven't been in a guild for three months. My last guild was Xandee's Mutiny (http://akama-mutiny.guildlaunch.com/).
2. Why are you leaving your current guild? After raiding with them a couple of times they felt too similar to my previous guild (Uprising). I was there for a while with 100% raid attendance constantly being held back just because half of the people didn't show up or couldn't grasp simple fight mechanics. I don't mind wiping when strategies are being reworked but if most of the raid is dying to the same avoidable crap 20 times for no other reason than carelessness it's time to find a guild with more dedicated people. AT didn't need trees at the time so I left Mutiny and quit PVE to focus on alts/PVP, lessening my reliance on idiots.
3. Do you play actively outside of raiding? I still PVP a lot and farm stupid titles/gold.
4. Are you able to take and improve upon harsh criticism? I'm sick of leaders who coddle their members and don't want to waste anyone's time. If I'm doing something wrong I expect to be told what it is so I can correct it
5. There will be bench time. Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. Are you okay with this? Totally fine with sitting out or only coming in for one boss but I'm not fine with waiting around in Dal for hours wondering if you will need me or not. I'd like to be able to log off if you're sure I won't be coming. If things change I can always be contacted via AIM/e-mail/etc. since I'm always by a computer.
6. Why are you interested in joining Acquired Taste? do you currently know anyone in Acquired Taste? I will no longer raid with a guild that doesn't consist of competent people who like to see end game content before it's nerfed into the ground. I don't want to hear anyone's kids on vent, I don't want to be the only one to show up for raids, I don't want to be the only one avoiding fire. I know it seems like I have limited experience and I haven't set foot in a raid in three months but I know my shit, I don't mind waiting to get loot, I'm not a drooling idiot with no backbone looking to get carried or a whorish hambeast with a sordid WoW past (sorry)...I just want to raid in an environment I'd actually find enjoyable. I'm behind on WOTLK content and have no hard mode achievements but I do love challenges, the only problem was my challenge came in the form of dealing with 24 other people's mistakes. With the expansion reset coming up I figured why not apply.
I don't know anyone but I've pugged with Prince of Wales a few times.
7. What are the other guilds you applied to? any particular reason why you are shopping for multiple guilds? Not looking elsewhere.
8. How can we contact you outside of the game? AIM, Email, etc...*
Both. I can release all of that information privately.
