Character's Name: Vulle
BTag: Seabeast#11772
Character's Level: 60
Class: Warlock
Usual Spec: Meta/Current Dest/Demo
Age: 25
Previous Guild:  Kel Thuzad,  Lightbringer
Reason you left previous guild:
GM left WoW for personal reasons and am looking for a new home.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
I enjoy eating, breathing, weight-lifting, beer lifting, hiking, memes, refinishing furniture, and Wow. I do play some other games when the content is dry but have been playing WoW steady since vanilla. First raid was OG Kara. }

Are you friends with anyone in Nightstalkers? If so, who and how do you know them?
Salt (Zeph) referred me and I am with the Kel Thuzad group.

Why do you want to become a member of Nightstalkers?
Ran with you all and got to meet the team. I like the atmosphere and that it is balanced. The group is there for a good time, but also to progress.

Any alts we can contact you on?
Railsplitter (DK) Vuhl (Shammy) I dont play them much this xpac

Our raid times are Wed, Thurs, and Mon from 8PM - 11PM server time (CST). Are you able to make ALL of our raid times, every week?
Wed would be spotty for me but Thurs and Mon, yes.

Do you forsee any issues in the near future with attendance? Vacation? Moving? Etc? Nopers

Link to a screenshot of your UI (during a raid, mid-fight preferred): Attached

Please take a moment to outline your rotation/priority. Be thorough and specific:
Precast
Prepot
CDs depending on hero/dps window
Try to align CDs and legos with key casting breaks
Save mitigation CDs for dmg phases or when Lead calls for them

What's the one misconception about your class that upsets you the most?
That since we are near top of meta right now that the class is easy. That and that we give handies for monies in the Dalaran Sewers. Not all of us have kinks for demons either. So rude.

Summary of your raid experience (go as far back as you can):
Kara and Gruuls Lair on my rogue.
TOC, ICC on my DK.
NAXX on my hunter.
All Pandaland on my DK (Main tank/RL).
Break during WOD
DK during Legion (DPS/OT)
Lock for BFA
Lock for Shadowlands




Are you willing to respec or sit out of a raid if a different class is needed? Certainly, but if asked to sit I will likely go spend my time on something other than Wow for the night.

Are you willing to download a few raid specific addons? Yes. My UI is basic and am willing to upgrade. I have ELVUI but have mainly been annoyed by it.

Are you able to be in Discord (WITH a working mic) during raids? Of course

Please list your computer's specs. CPU speed, video card, RAM, Wireless/Wired?, Cable/DSL?, and average in-game latency.
No current issues running the game on high graphics settings in raid situations. Elegon was a vid card killer though.

Is there anything else you think we should know?
I have gotten to meet the team and enjoyed myself. Everyone seems competent and approachable.
Thanks for taking the time to interact and consider us for spots on the team.

Cheers

Reason you left previous guild:
Our GM and RL decided to quit - we are looking for a new home.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
Sassy, sarcastic and kinda awkward, I'm the person in the convo who always puts my foot in my mouth. It always makes for a great time. Maybe.}

Are you friends with anyone in Nightstalkers? If so, who and how do you know them?
I'm friends with an ancient relic of Nightstalkers, Salteen.

Why do you want to become a member of Nightstalkers?
My team of raiders and I are looking for a new home, Salteen recommended your guild and it sounded like a good fit. Many of us really loved raiding with Adventure and it is with a heavy heart we have to leave, hoping to find a similar vibe with Nightstalkers.

Any alts we can contact you on?
None

Our raid times are Wed, Thurs, and Mon from 8PM - 11PM server time (CST). Are you able to make ALL of our raid times, every week?
Yes

Do you forsee any issues in the near future with attendance? Vacation? Moving? Etc? I will be celebrating my birthday June 15-18

Please take a moment to outline your rotation/priority. Be thorough and specific:
For me, I start with placement of my Effloresence. I try to rejuv as many targets as possible and keep them on a constant rotation in an attempt to keep the up time consistent. With the new legendary I then try to get my Swiftmend stacks up, following them up Wild Growth to get my soul of the forest boost on WG. By this time, I should have 2 stacks of swiftmend from my legendary and I endeavor to save the third swiftmend to trigger tree with convoke for big heals. It doesn't always work out that way, but I try. Additionally, by this point with my Vision legendary my hots should be fairly well spread over raid, and I trigger Flourish to increase uptime and give my mana a little time to regen. I'm of the mindset to use CD's as often as possible and will consider using tranq early fight to have it up for late encounter. However, I do use my judgement on this, as tranq is a huge CD and misusing it can be penalizing. Generally, I innervate at start of fight, and mana pot at about 1/4th of my mana spent so I can have it one more time before end of fight.  

What's the one misconception about your class that upsets you the most?
There really is nothing, druids are the best. Flawless. If I had to say anything, it would be PvP related as up until this xpac since Panda land I was hard core into high end rbgs.

Bear form doesn't save you from everything. And cyclone is not the best CC in the game.

Summary of your raid experience (go as far back as you can):
I've played since vanilla, but didn't hit max level in Vanilla till BC was about to come out. I started raiding in SSC as a hunter, and learned the ins and outs of "old school" raiding. DKP, loot council, you name it, I was part of it. I raided every raid all the way up to Warlords where triage healing made me quit the game for 2 years. WOTLK was probably my most successful tier. I was healing lead, I was part of a consistent core of 10, and did ICC HM, killing LK and getting the fancy mount at the time. I was the top resto shaman on my server and my guild was considered one of the more successful ones on the server. I returned as a druid in MOP and pvp'd in the 2300+ bracket all the way up to BFA when I quit again because healing rbgs was aids as a druid. I returned to WoW in Shadowlands kinda towards the end of Nathria and joined Adventure after doing a random but awesome pug group with them. I rose up the ranks to become one of the GMs and was healing lead for our raid groups. Zeph and I got this group through most of Sanctum kills until our GM returned from his first break but a lot of people seem burnt out and our GM quitting was kinda the last nail in the coffin and we called it quits at H Rygelon.

Are you willing to respec or sit out of a raid if a different class is needed? Yes, but I'm not willing to respec permanently - Resto druid is my favorite class to play and I've played all healers but Paladin.  

Are you willing to download a few raid specific addons? Yes

Are you able to be in Discord (WITH a working mic) during raids? Yes

Please take a moment to outline your rotation/priority. Be thorough and specific:
Prioritize keg smash. Keep breath of fire, rushing jade wind on cooldown. Filler with blackout kick, spinning crane kick. Keep 1 charge of purifying brew on CD at all times, use the other as needed to drop stagger. Use Celestial Brew usually on cooldown, prioritizing pieces of high damage. Black Ox on CD for mitigation/damage. Use Weapons of Order on CD. Fortifying brew, zen meditation, dampen harm.

What's the one misconception about your class that upsets you the most?
People in keys tell me they hate healing brew monks because they take a lot of damage. I think it's the opposite. When played well it's my favorite tank to do keys on.

Summary of your raid experience (go as far back as you can):
Did a lot of raiding in Vanilla (MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20, AQ40). Didn't raid again until MoP and did 2 tiers with Nightstalkers. Have raided consistently in shadowlands.

Character's Name: Krogrum
BTag: Nobelord#1318
Character's Level: 60
Class: Hunter
Usual Spec: Marksmanship
Age: 22
Previous Guild: Work In Progress (Emerald Dream)
Reason you left previous guild:
Our guild fell apart before 9.1 after we merged with a smaller Mythic raiding guild. We killed 3/10 bosses and progressed on 5, but the content drought between 9.0 and 9.1 took a toll on everybody. I took a break after starting graduate school in July and came back to current content in February.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
My name is Will, and I am a chemistry PhD student who has been playing WoW since MoP when I was a kid. I've played casually since then, but since I take school seriously, I didn't start playing competitively until 9.0, when I joined my first raiding guild. I attended almost every raid in our CN progression, and I'm feeling the itch to raid again in Sepulcher of the First Ones, which is why I want to join Nightstalkers. After a semester in grad school, I know my schedule well enough to feel comfortable committing to all the evening raids. }

Are you friends with anyone in Nightstalkers? If so, who and how do you know them?
No, I don't know anybody in the guild yet.

Why do you want to become a member of Nightstalkers?
Nightstalkers has two key aspects that appeal to me greatly. First, the longevity of the guild gives me hope that if I join, I will be able to participate in the community for a long time. I was disappointed and saddened when my old guild broke up, and I want to make connections and friends that last longer than a year. I also appreciate the professional attitude that the guild takes towards raiding and the community. As an aspiring professional in my field, the guild's approach to raiding mirrors my own approach to life. I am looking forward to less guild drama and more focus on what really matters as part of a team. Of course, the key reason I want to join is because I want to raid again for 9.2, but Nightstalkers stands out to me for the reasons above.

Any alts we can contact you on?
I spend most of my time on Krogrum these days.

Our raid times are Wed, Thurs, and Mon from 8PM - 11PM server time (CST). Are you able to make ALL of our raid times, every week?
Yes.

Do you forsee any issues in the near future with attendance? Vacation? Moving? Etc? I am travelling home 3/11 to 3/20, but I will still be able to raid. I have no travel plans until late May after that.

Please take a moment to outline your rotation/priority. Be thorough and specific:
ST Raid Pull
Cast Double Tap.
Channel Aimed Shot 3 sec before pull. Potion.
Cast Wild Spirits, Blood Fury, and Trueshot.
Cast Aimed Shot so that a charge is always on cooldown. Cast Arcane Shot to spend Precise Shot procs without dropping too low on focus.
When Trueshot ends, cast Aimed Shot whenever available.
Cast Rapid Fire on CD when not capped on Focus.
Spend Precise Shot procs on Arcane Shot.
Use Steady Shot when Aimed Shot and Rapid Fire are on CD, and there are no Precise Shots while Focus is below half.

What's the one misconception about your class that upsets you the most?
Obviously, hunters are often made fun of for being dumb. While raiding in CN though, I was stunned by the amount of utility the class brings and the amount of responsibility I could take on to interact with the raid mechanics. For example, I was in charge of a hound on Altimor (Scare Beast, Freezing Trap) and soaking arrows on Mythic (Turtle). On Sun King, I managed Phoenixes and shades (traps, concussive shot). On Xymox, I got to move seeds and destroy traps (Cheetah, Turtle, Disengage). My favorite was triple soaking Stone Legion General's meteor with Turtle. Intelligently using the hunter's class tools is the best part about raiding with it, and I wish people would view the class as a toolbox to counteract raid mechanics instead of the dumb pet-pulling stereotype.

10/10 N CN
10/10 H AOTC CN
3/10 M CN with progress on Kael and Inerva

Even if I am not immediately a raider since I took a break and need to catch up some more, what I really want to participate in a long-lasting community and make some new friends. I can be patient even if there is not a spot for me yet. I am also an altoholic and love experimenting with new classes, so if there is a hole in the raid team for a certain niche, I would be happy to slot in as any class and learn from the ground up.
