[Krogue]

Well it said you have a spot open for a rogue so I'll try my luck

What is your toon's name?:
Krogue

Are you applying as a Socialite or a Raider?:
Raider

What Class?:
Rogue

What is your MAIN spec? :
Combat

If you have dual specs, what is your SECONDARY spec?:
n/a

Link to your toon's armory page:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Echo+Isles&n=Krogue

Please provide a link to a recent WWS report, if available.:
n/a

Main Character Professions and profession levels::
LW 437, SKINNING 450

How often do you play WoW? :
Been playing no less than 5 hours a day

How many badges do you currently have in your possession? (both 10 and 25 man varieties):
14 conq, 30 triumph, I've spent many so far

If a DPS class, what is your average DPS (on a boss, trash doesn't matter) in a 25 man raid. If a tank what is your sustained TPS on bosses. : 4.8k+

Do you ever experience any lag or framerate issues in 25 man raids? What is your usual FPS while in Dalaran and in 25 man Raids? :
Not with this computer. 20-30 fps in dal, better in raids

Please list a few of the main sites where you do research on raids, your toon or WoW in general.:
elitistjerks.com for my rogue
bosskillers and wowwiki for raids

What raiding experience do you have? Be specific and give examples of level appropriate bosses you have fought and/or killed both in Wrath of the Lich King AND in earlier content. (and no, doing BWL at level 80 doesn't count.):
All TBC raid content, minus a couple BT bosses. On Sunwell Plateau, I've had around 7 nights on the first 3 bosses, all downed.
So far, the last couple months have been my first time playing in Wotlk, since I took that year long break, and I've seen naxx10, toc10, uld10 (half of it), and voa down, but haven't repeated them so much to sink in as second nature yet. I've just been doing mostly heroics, and whatever pug raids I can get into, I usually stick to it until last boss goes down or the last wipe clears the raid screen.

If requested, would you be willing to be interviewed by an officer(s) on our vent server?:
Yes

How did you hear about Magic and Mayhem? If you know a current member, who?:
Well i got in as a socialite since I knew ala and malzor, and have been in a guild for a month i think.

Why do you want to join Magic and Mayhem? :
Aside from getting tired of having to rely on pugs for raiding, I feel that through my experiences in participating with the guild, M&M displays real organization and maturity in the handling of raid situations, and I would like to be a part of a group that knows what they are doing.

What other guilds have you been in? Why did you leave? :
Revolution pre-WOTLK. I didn't leave the guild, I left the game to take a break.

spec is good. gemming is problematic. spell hit cap, with no heroic presence, misery or imp ff is 315 (which almost never happens in a 25). You are way over and gemming for it? I would replace pyrite infuser with darkmoon card: greatness, and get rid of the hit gems.

if you need to match a yellow socket, use the 10 agi/ 10 crit..never hit..and ignore wasteful socket bonuses like the chest piece. go with two 20 agi's instead. (or 20 armor pen, but I would advise against gemming armor pen atm, since you should be upgrading to whatever weapons drop for you and not just maces)

enchants are right, except for the mongoose. I know mongoose is making a comeback with bis t9 gear and the 216 axes, but you aren't there yet. Beserking is expensive as hell, I know, but it would be an upgrade over mongoose if you can stand to drop some gold.

Your weapons are quite a bit behind. I know that's not your fault, unlucky drops are unlucky drops, but we rarely run anything that isn't hard mode anymore, and 143 dps weapons are a bit behind even for regular mode Ulduar. Again, it's not terrible, and a good player can make up for some of that.

Anyway, my two cents. Good luck to you.

Clarification: only the offhand is 143. Mainhand is not bad.

[Krogue]

Empowered Deathbringer and Remorse, berserking on each. The latter just dropped yesterday, and I had ED in the bank for a while.

On gemming, I went for +hit when I didn't have pyrite infuser, and once that dropped, I hadn't gotten around to switching it around. I also messed up on the belt, so I will rectify that.

And also, if it helps, on XT yesterday, I managed 5.6k dps with the maces.

[Shamarok]

Would be willing to see what you can do. I vote yes.

[Stonner]

We'll see how you perform. Yes.
