Age and geographical location?

19, Massachusetts, USA

During what times do you usually play WoW?

anywhere between 12pm to 5am EST usually every day.

Do you know any members in Meridian that might vouch for you?

No i dont

What talent spec do you usually use while raiding and why?

Arcane because it increases groups dps 3% and is the highest dps spec currently.

What are your two main professions? Why have you chosen these over others?

Blacksmithing for the 2 extra sockets
Enchanting for ring enchants

What stats do you look for in your equipment? How do you decide which gems to use in what sockets?

Right now i need to reach my haste cap at around ~1750 which i did, while maxxing the amount of mastery i can have while keeping max hit. I only match socket bonus's if the socket bonus is 20+ int other then that 40int to every socket to max my int.

What raiding experience did you have pre-Cata? (If on another character, please specify)

Vanilla – MC/BWL (old warrior)

I use [nonchanneling] macros so when i evocate i can spam my arcane blast and without having it cancel my cast, all my keybinds i've used since i've played this game im very use to where every spell is.

Attach any world of logs/wws links that you have available.

What is the name of your current and past guilds? Why are you leaving your current guild?

Strawberry puppy kisses(former US 5th 10m) Was my guild since 4.1 going 13/13 and and 6/7H firelands by 7/20, they recently broke up about a month ago due to a bunch of ego's and rag fun. Joined "Strategists" after SPK broke up bringing them from 4/7H to 6/7H the following week with my friend from SPK (rest xfered off the server) Pretty much im at the same point i was with spk about 2 months ago, same part of rag constant fails to dumb mistakes and im looking to get back into a top ranking guild. (You'll find me in SPK under the name "rosaparks" "dora" or "virqin")

Where/How did you hear about the opening in Meridian?

Wowprogress.com saw that you guys were up there(:

Anything else you want us to know?

I love to raid and love to progress, i was never a huge raider until SPK, my first actual good raiding guild after that i started to love raiding, looking up perfect reforges spending hours at a time trying to figure out what works better where what reforges where, to make sure everything was as close to perfect as it could. I went from being 12/12N to being 7/13H with SPK and cruising onto 13/13 after a few weeks. When firelands hit all of us were anxious to push content and beat the server guilds, which we did pushing raid times to 2-3AM in the morning even. Adding a raid day etc. I've yet to miss a raid in SPK my attendence has been around 99% throughout the 6 months i was there. Im currently out of HS no job just hanging out and playing wow hopefully competing for top rankings in 4.3. Hope to hear from you soon, thanks.
