C. Raiding and Character information

1. Zuluh | Destruction | Warlock

2. Are you a clicker? No

3. Do you have any notable alts? Sekuav (Holy Paladin, Dunemaul) was my old main and has most of my raid achievements. He is undergeared currently however and not worth much. Once I find a guild I intend to transfer him and gear him up.

4. What is your raiding experience Pre-BC? In BC? WoTLK? Specify if in a leadership role.

(All of these kills were done "at the time", none of them are from a week ago and me pretending I did them).

vanilla: I cleared everything
burning crusade: I cleared everything, including pre-nerf Mu'ru and Kil'jaeden
wrath: I cleared all hardmodes, including HM LK @ 25% of the buff.
Cata: (I've cleared all normal modes, these are hard modes)

5/6 BWD (Magmaw, Omnitron, Atramedes, Chimaeron, Maloriak)
1/4 BoT (Halfus Wyrmbreaker)
1/2 Throne (Conclave)

I've also come within 800,000 of downing Ascendant Council, and wiped to it below 2% 3-4 times. I know the encounter in and out. I volunteered to sit out for the V+T kills and never got any work in on them. I've also done a fair amount of work on the Nefarian encounter, got him to 30% last night.

5. Provide an armory link to your character and a wowhead link to your normal raiding spec.

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?

I have 45 flasks, 3 cauldrons, 150 volcanic potions, and 100 severed sagefish currently. so yes.

7. Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters?

yes, although I've found currently that information on most encounters is lacking. I will still try to find anything that I can.

8. What do you think about beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content? I'm all for it

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)

http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-8h5zsqs8e9oqic59/sum/damageDone/?s=7510&e=7913 --- Chimaeron Heroic

http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-8h5zsqs8e9oqic59/sum/damageDone/?s=9464&e=9759 --- Halfus Wyrmbreaker Heroic

10. Post a screenshot of your UI while in a raid environment (in combat). (Give a list of any relevant addons not shown.)

D. Dual Spec

1. What is your secondary spec? Currently Affliction for Ascendant Council, but I honestly swap between all 3 specs depending on the encounter.

2. Are you able to play it as well as your main spec? yes

3. Are you willing to change your main spec and/or secondary spec for guild needs?

yes

E. Professions

1. What are your 2 professions? if they are not maxed to the level of profession perks, why not? Alchemy and Tailoring

2. If you have a gathering profession, what is stopping you from dropping it for a profession that benefits your stats more?

n/a

F. Other Questions

1. What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM? Include their website.

Casual. Lidow is the GM. plzdontgank.us is their website.

2. Why are you leaving your current guild? I'm not, they declined my trial because they found 2 warlocks from Uprising (#15 U.S. before they disbanded) who were better geared and more experienced. They said I could stay, but they can't justify giving me raiding time over those two for the foreseeable future.

3. Do you play actively outside of raiding? I am online close to 10-12 hours a day.

4. Are you able to take and improve upon harsh criticism? Yes

5. There will be bench time. Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. Are you okay with this? Yes

6. Why are you interested in joining Acquired Taste? do you currently know anyone in Acquired Taste? I do not know anyone from Acquired Taste, you guys seem to still be going strong and progressing which is what I'm looking for.

7. What are the other guilds you applied to? any particular reason why you are shopping for multiple guilds?

Ruin on Icecrown. To be honest? Assuming I don't get accepted into 100% of the guilds I apply too, I don't want to waste any more time then I have too.

8. How can we contact you outside of the game? AIM, Email, etc...

e-mail is the easiest way, I don't pay attention to my messengers very often/keep them logged in. mln982@yahoo.com is my e-mail address.

Good app. One question; why aren't you using tier pieces?

[Lobo]

Seems intelligent, I love soulstones.
But more than anything else in the world, I love sheep.

[Midgey]

2 questions:

1. How fast are you able to cast DI on the nearest shadow priest?

2. In what situation would you not put DI on a shadow priest?

Hint: One of these is a trick question.

[Samorr]

was actually buying Shadowflame Legs when I looked at this. I don't have the valor points to buy anything else, and I've never won a helm or shoulder token. Other then the stat upgrades, our set bonuses (especially the two piece) are pretty bad. Shouldn't really sacrifice stats (haste) for the 2 piece bonus. When I have a chance to get the 4 piece bonus I will, as it's about a 200 dps upgrade when used properly.

edit: buying chest actually, bigger increase in haste.

edit2: when said shadow priest is dead, see there is a correct answer!

[Iriemember]

feel free to transfer over for a trial and give me di.
edit: I love the 372 offhand with a blue weapon don't think we have gone a week without 2 caster weapons dropping min

[Midgey]

edit2: when said shadow priest is dead, see there is a correct answer!

First of all, I don't die, at least not before you. Second of all it still belongs on me.

[Samorr]

will put the transfer in sometime later tonight or early tomorrow. what are you guys working on currently?

and yeah, I've had 0 luck with weapon drops. seek something purple.

[Izlia]

First of all, I don't die, at least not before you. Second of all it still belongs on me.

Don't you already get Thugs!? Poor Nick.

[Zaros]

if your assigned DI shadow priest dies then you are expected to stand in place and continually click DI on his name until he is ressed or you die from fire on the ground. in which case you are to blame the death on your internet.

[EFFIE]

I hope you're different than every other warlock we've had the last 5 years....

If you want you can just rebind 1 through =, Q through P, A through L, and Z through M, to /cast [target=Efficacy]Dark Intent; , and proceed to roll your face across your keyboard.

[Vektorix]

Hey now.. I was bad in DIFFERENT ways than all the other warlocks. Still bad, yes, but DIFFERENT!

And OLD! :P

[Zaros]

Feddy started this pain train that we call warlocks. i blame him. js.

[Enhasa]

recruiting locks you find in naxx pug runs doesn't help either
