Reason you left previous guild:
The guild I'm part of I joined 3 years ago, and we raided a lot more than we do now. I'm still very good friends with the guys and girls in Varg, but I want to push content like we used to. We used to at least get AOTC before new content, but nowadays we don't even raid anymore since we can't keep numbers. I want to push mythic content myself since that's my favorite type of content in WoW.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
Hi! I'm bone, but I might change my name if I end up transferring over??? We'll cross that bridge later I guess.

I'm 37, and I've played WoW ever since week 3 of the game. I've taken breaks off and on over the years, but have stayed pretty consistent with playing in some capacity throughout the years. I don't play as hardcore as the times in vanilla when I failed out of college (ugh I hate saying that now), but would love to push content! I pretty much game 24/7 when I'm not sleeping. I don't really have a game that I stick to besides WoW, but pretty much play everything. Right now I just found a Series X, and game pass is crazy legit.

I live in the south, so tornadoes while raiding have been a thing. Not something I haven't powered through before though. I collect watches. I don't eat solid food. I'm afraid of dentists. I still have all my hair! My favorite game of all time is Chrono Trigger. I have an obsession with headphones, and upgrading my phone. My favorite band is Alkaline Trio.

Are you friends with anyone in Nightstalkers? If so, who and how do you know them?
No. Not yet at least : )

Why do you want to become a member of Nightstalkers?
"We're a casual raiding guild and we prioritize fun and the guild community over progression. We're not going to compete in the top few hundred guilds, but it's our goal to complete all mythic content before the next content is released."

This is the reason exactly. This is 100% what I'm looking for in a raid group. One that gets the job done, but doesn't necessarily believe WoW is a full time job.

Any alts we can contact you on?
No. I have alts, but never really play them.

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? No

Please take a moment to outline your rotation/priority. Be thorough and specific:
Woof this is gonna be a long one. Ok so I play fury 90% of the time, so we'll just stick with that right now. Right now I'm m+ spec'd since that's how I'm primarily gearing now, but it does change a little for raid. Basically just swap fresh meat for sudden death in raid for more consistent dmg. I'm also playing Venth Nadjia tree which makes some difference.
FM, DT, Mass, Warpaint, Cruelty, Bladestorm, AM - I like this spec since it gives dmg reduction, and mo

Prepot
Charge or Heroic leap for opening for rage, and a little bit of dmg. If it's more than 1 add I'll leap.
If I have fresh meat spec'd I'll go ahead and Bloodthirst first to give me enrage immediately.
Recklessness (I use Signet of Tormented Kings as my legendary which either grants you either a 2nd bladestorm or Avatar. I still sometimes hit recklessness before a pull out of habit, and just whirlwind haha.)
If enrage is almost done I'll try to BT for more. If I don't get it Raging Blow 1 or 2 casts should allow me to Rampage
Enraged Bladestorm
Venth condemn if the fight is above 80%.
Enrage at 90 rage or above.
Raging Blow
Bloodthirst
Whirlwind as a filler

Typically try to keep enrage up about 80%. I feel like 90% is pretty tough to do. If I have around 80-85 rage, and bt is not on cooldown I'll hit it first to try and get enrage before rampage. I feel like my main weakness is prioritizing uptime for enrage, and forget to spend rage to bring the reck cooldown down faster with anger management. Still sort of finding that middle ground a little.

AOE is same as above just insert whirlwind every two swings. This is primarily one of the reasons I play fury is because of the AOE rotation. I feel like that's definitely my strong suit.

Also if you see anything that you're just like wtf no let me know : )

What's the one misconception about your class that upsets you the most?
You know I don't really have any misconceptions about my class. It's just always what I liked playing, and felt comfortable with. Maybe there are misconceptions the more hardcore you get, but I really haven't run into any issues.

Summary of your raid experience (go as far back as you can):
I main tanked all the way from MC to 4 Horsemen before we quit for BC. Our friend group left that guild because we were tired of raiding 6 nights a week for 6 hours a night...so we formed a 10 man group! We cleared everything we could with some 25's peppered in here and there. I think we just got burned out from vanilla a bit. LK we joined back up with another 10 man group, and did big boy raids again. We cleared everything normal, and most of everything heroic. Cata I took my first break since our guild kinda stopped playing. I joined back up with a work buddy and his guild at the end of Cata for DS. This is taking too long, and I feel like you're going to hate me for typing all of this out. TL:DR for the rest

Mists- Hated it. Came back for Siege, and cleared it all the way to halfway mythic.
WOD- Cleared first 2 raids, and the guild broke up : ( I hate that I missed Hellfire at level.
Legion- I was full casual. Just played with friends.
BFA - Cleared everything normal (I think???). Some heroic. AOTC nzoth heroic.\
SL- Raid what I could off and on. We did raid Nathria through normal and then I had some real life stuff I had to deal with. Now I'm just getting into whatever I can to fix the raid itch.

Is there anything else you think we should know?
I look forward to talking with you guys! I know I don't have a ton of current mythic raiding experience, but I do have A LOT of raiding experience overall. Hopefully you guys just don't throw this thing in the trash. I'm super easy going and generous so I think I could fit right in. I'd be willing to make any sort of changes, learn anything needed. Just let me know what I need to do! Thanks so much looking at my app!
