How well is your dual spec geared and how well can you play it?:
my main spec"dps" holds the best gear i have as its my main+preferred spec "full triumph set"...my tank gear are pretty good as well " 36k unbuffed..540 defense and 62% total avoidance"..i usually prefer to dps but i can tank whenever needed no probs

How long have you been playing (real time and /played)?
i have been playing wow since like a year now...playing time is pretty close to 60 days

How many raid night would you be able to attend?:
mostly i can attend any raid held in sun.mon.wed.thurs...as those are my pain playing days..other days i usually log on late cause of study..so may be just able to do 10 mans ..short runs on them.

Is there anything in real life that can influence your attendance for longer periods of time?:
nah..as long as its on the days i mentioned above i can be on all night...other days i will just be short on time ):

Do you have any friends within Fortuna?:
actually no...but i played with zydell once before he joins...pugged 10 man uld 2gether ..was really nice then.

Internet Connection (type/speed/how often do you dc):
i have my own dsl..2mb...rarely d'c..but sometimes its laggy on 25 mans + laggaran

Do you have a microphone and a working Ventrilo? And do you use them in raids?:
ofc i do...i really cant do without

Reason for leaving your current guild:
iam in my friends guild atm...just left advanced where i had a terrible time really...was kinda short time tho...atmosphere there is pretty bad and not helpful at all....so iam kinda having a much-needed rest at my friends guild "No Man Standing'..and hoping to find a more reliable and respectable place where there's serious raiding and relaxed atmosphere...and couldnt really think of any place better than Fortuna

Previous raid-experience:
not much of vanilla and tbc really..cause i started playing only a year ago...but here's my full raiding exp:
onyxia..molten core..."vanilla"
kara ..magtheridon.."tbc"
naxx 10/25 - malyg 10 - uld 10"till yogg " - uld 25"till keepers" - onyxia 10/25 "the new one"..totc 10/25 full clear....no togc yet


Do you have any level 80 alts?:
no i dont

Brief wow-history (guilds, classes, specs, servers, breaks, milestones, guild functions, etc.):
1st guild i have ever been ..just like a month after i played wow..was a self made guild...with a friend of mine..played 2gether and kept the guild 2gether as well..until i hit 80..when my friend left..and made an Allie char..so i had to leave as well and joined "unfamous"..another social guild...till it had a collapse when the GM + officers left and i found myself suddenly the new GM...had alot of hard times and tried 2 manage until the guild got to a stable state..but yet had another crack and problems started among officers and ended by me leaving... then my story started with advanced where i actually had good time raiding but in an extremely bad atmosphere..didnt spend alot of time there and left soon accordingly..and iam now back to my friends guild "who came back to horde side" and applying to Fortuna....most played class is my paladin.

A screenshot of the UI you will be raiding with (Imageshack works fine):

Do you click any of your spells, abilities or items?:
i click 4 of my main spells...dps pala rotation isnt so complicated afterall...just few spells "6 or so"...
on prot spec i use keybindings alot.."specially no1..holy shield..which i need 2 pop all the time due to the 8 sec duration'

Please explain your most important keybinds:
no1..holy shield in prot...2 = hammer of the rihgteous...3 = avengers shield..4 = concecration
on ret spec i depend mostly on clicks

Are you familiar with parsed combat log analysis-software like worldoflogs.com or WWS?
iam not so experienced about logs..but used 2 check them all the time when i was in advanced 2 track my performance..

Can you give link to any of logs that include your character?:
my last raid in advanced
http://www.wowmeteronline.com/combat/9053740#damageout

What would your reaction be if an officer showed you parts of the logs from last raid and claimed you were underperforming?:
i will ofc refer to my performance and check what i did wrong there..then try 2 fix it or ask the officers again

WoW related websites you visit (how often, for what info, etc.):
wowiki - tankspot.com for best tactics videos..mmochamp..wowarmory..wowheroes.

How do you usually go about learning a new encounter?:
i use wowiki for the reading part ....together with videos on tank spot provides a good knowledge of tactics...and ofc..wiping on the field gives the best knowledge and fills the missing points

Briefly explain the tactics to Val'kyr Twins:
i will try 2 explain them with the addition of few points of my own view...
two bosses..known by the name dark = darkbane + light = lightbane...also 2 dark and 2 light portals..where u click 2 get the corresponding essence...
u need 2 have the opposite essence of the boss color u r dpsing..and same essence color of the boss who does the vortex at any point...both bosses share same hp pool..
my point of view is : tank the dark boss between the 2 portals on the left side..with the light boss just next 2 him..this keeps both bosses closest way to both portals...all start by dpsing dark boss..whenever u have 2 change essence color "on dark vortex or ligh boss doing twins pact...u really dont have 2 switch back after.
*Example:if the light boss does bubble...u will need to quickly change essence and dps her asap...but what u dont need is 2 change essence back after the bubble is down...keep dping the light boss...afterall they share the same hp pool and dps on any of them is the same...keep doin that until u need 2 change the essence again for any reason..rense and repeat....yes i know about floating orbs..and this tactic may kinda waste extra dps u gain from empowered light/dark...but switching from one boss to another then back again all the time really hinders a big chunk of dps tht is really needed

Anything else you would like to add?:
yes..sorry for the long explanation of tactics...i really tried it on a 10 man pug i managed 2 get...and we very easily got "salt and pepper - 10 man" = kill them under 3 min...tho we had 2 dpsers doing 2k..
i hope u can check my app and tell me if i have any weakness points i need to correct....even if not accepted..would be nice to have a positive criticism by experienced ppl which would help me improve my character

Hi!

Just some questions I like to ask:

Why don't you have any points in One-Handed Weapon Specialization?
Gives you more damage=More threath
Remove the points from Divine Sacrifice and Divine Guardian since those you can only use if you're not actually tanking at that moment.

Also on your Ret spec you have 7 point extra in Holy tree which could be put to better use in Protection tree. Set 5 points in Divinity which helps
your divine storms to heal the raid for more and more efficient heals on you from healers. 1 point should go to Guardians Favor and the last
one for Divine Sacrifice as this will help the raid a lot with removing DOT and damage intensive periods.

Regarding you glyphs the look fine except for the Hamemr of the righteous. This suggest more AOE tanking which there ain't so much of in end game.
Change it for the judgement one instead to build even more threath.

On you rtanking gear which is the ones displayed on your armory at the moment I see that you only use 2 jewelers gems. Make one more for more bonuses I say.

On your ret gear I would suggest you change the gems that are pure hit along with the strength crit. Exchange them for Strength + Hit instead
which would gain you 20 extra strength. The crit doesnt help you that much as strength does. When your over hit and expertise cap just go for
20 stength all the way for more dps boost.

Other than above mentioned the gear, enchants, build, glyphs and gems looks good.

Good luck on your application.

thx a lot centaris for your positive criticism...and i would try to do as you said ...and see how it goes..

[Achellis]

i checked all the points u mentioned centaris....i will try 2 respec on both my tank and my dps builds...but theres something i donno if iam wrong about...in my tank spec iam using 3 jc gems already..."gloves....bracers..and chest"
other points i guess u r right about...as they would favor the end game raiding content better..so hope u would recheck them again and tell me if it got any better.
thx alot

[Achellis]

thnx again centaris for all your help....most points u mentioned earlier are now fixed....i would never bother to spend some emblems or gold if it will bring a better outcome anyways ...hope u can re-check the talents/gear whenever u r free again..and tell me if there's more work to be done...ty again.

[Munja]

aplication looks ok and see u have fixed ur talents so i dont mind giving u a trial but lets see what the rest of the officers have to say about it
