Character's Level: 70
Class: Warrior
Usual Spec: Prot
Age: 28
Previous Guild: Baylife
Reason you left previous guild:
Old guild I used to play with in BFA. Guild has no intention of setting up a raid schedule, and your current raid schedule works with my current work schedule. Also my friend Cort has been with yall for a while.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
My name is Jeremy; most of my long-term online friends call my Deadly as my first ever online alias created on the xbox live platform was DeadlyKnives (I was 12 don't judge me).
I have a degree in gaming (heh) and am a table games dealer by trade; Often work odd hours and currently working on call at a new job, but it shouldn't conflict with raid schedule. I've been playing WoW on and off since BTC and just recently got back into it after not having played since the beginning of BFA.}

Are you friends with anyone in Nightstalkers? If so, who and how do you know them?
Yes, Cort. I've known him for over a decade. I believe we originally met playing halo.

Why do you want to become a member of Nightstalkers?
Looking to raid on a schedule that fits around my current work. And I've heard good things from my friend.

Any alts we can contact you on?
None at the moment.

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

Logs: N/A

Link to a screenshot of your UI (during a raid, mid-fight preferred): N/A at the moment but open to suggestions/change currently run DBM with some Weakauras for keeping traack of key skills.

Please take a moment to outline your rotation/priority. Be thorough and specific:
Keep shield block up while in melee > Ignore Pain > Demo Shout off CD unless saving for expected burst > Avatar off CD >  Shield Slam off CD > Thunder Clap Off CD (Takes priority during Avatar to further reduce other CDs)

Generally save Last stand, Rally cry,  and Shield wall for anticipated burst/emergency situations, and to a lesser degree impending victory.

When not focusing on mitigating damage taken, shield charge, ravager and thunderous roar are used off CD for extra damage output, in that order for single target and swapping ravager and shield charge for multi target. preferably around a demo shout/avatar combo to further increase damage.



What's the one misconception about your class that upsets you the most?
That Prot has a general lack of sustain. I feel that leech and impending victory is more than enough coupled with the sheer amount of mitigation we bring to the table in most situations.

Summary of your raid experience (go as far back as you can):
First dipped my toe into raiding near the end of WotLK.
Didn't REALLY get into raiding till Cata, (actually raided with Cort pretty consistently at that time). Only played briefly in MoP and Warlords. Really enjoyed the beginning of Legion and BFA and that's where I mostly did my tanking (was previously ranged DPS). Did AotC at beginning of both while tanking with pugs, and some of the players from the AotC G'huun pug recruited me to their guild for some mythic progression. Now I'm back.

Are you willing to respec or sit out of a raid if a different class is needed? Yes, would prefer prot, but can be flexible

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

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

Is there anything else you think we should know?
I'm pretty focused on fleshing out my Blacksmithing profession. I can currently craft craft 392+ plate shields, legs, and chests with sparks of ingenuity (Actually farmed out rep to get a primal infusion and upgraded my chest to 405). Can upgrade all blue slots blue shields to 382 epics with matrix 4. Plan on fleshing out armor more thoroughly but can change that direction if the guild needs something else.
