6. You will need lots of consumables to keep up with the pace during progression raids.

Always, I will always know some kind of strat, all mechanics, and the reasons behind the strats.

Love it, I love raiding, especially new content. I would love to help propel AT into a top 10 stop!

2. Are you able to play it as well as your main spec?
I believe I can play it competitively, however not as well as my main spec, as the time difference put into either is significantly different.

Yes, however I enjoy protection a lot more than DPS.

Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting

F. Other Questions
1. What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM?
Include their website.
Scandalous, Ozadin, http://scandalous-guild.com/index.php
2. Why are you leaving your current guild?
I am interested in leaving because, We have been doing 2 months of progress on H-LK, while I've been with them, and the majority of the time is spent joking around. We have made 1 phase 3 attempt, and have since wiped early into p2. I enjoy very much being IN and doing progression, regressing is not something I'm interested in. It seemed like we made that phase 3 attempt, everyone assumed we'd be handed victory and a majority of people stopped trying. Raiding is a headache, I do not want to be there because of how awful everyone plays.
3. Do you play actively outside of raiding?
Yes, I enjoy raiding on my alt, doing random heroics to help guildies new alts, and sitting around in vent/joking around.
4. Are you able to take and improve upon harsh criticism?
Love it, I always strive to be better, I feed on criticism, if I mess up, I want to know about it without it being sugar coated.
5. There will be bench time. Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. Are you okay with this?
Yes, however I love being in for progression.
6. Why are you interested in joining Acquired Taste? do you currently know anyone in Acquired Taste?
I would like to join a top 100 guild that I know is capable of killing all content available when it comes out.
7. What are the other guilds you applied to? any particular reason why you are shopping for multiple guilds?
Pie Chart, I am really looking to get out of my current guild because of how raiding is currently, and as a protection warrior, you really need to apply many places, because those spots open up few and far between.
8. How can we contact you outside of the game? AIM, Email, etc...

**added**
I know concerns are going to be brought up about my age/school/etc. However, I have been raiding at these times since pre-bc, my parent have always been okay with it, even supportive most of the times, by realizing the time and getting my home by then. During the school year I do packet classes, which is essentially the entire year put in a big pack of paper which I can do at my own pace on my own time.
