What members of Angry Mob do you already know or have you played with?
Recent apps upstart and windflurry mainly, others too maybe I don't know names though.

What guilds have you previously been in, and why did you leave them?
Tribute

Are you currently in a guild? Tribute
If so, why are you interested in leaving?
Guild is mostly inactive, do not have enough drive to progress.

What do you see as the primary purpose of a guild in WoW?
Progress and clear the end-game tier

What do you expect from your guild and officers, and what do you offer in return?
I expect others to be interested and driven to win because that's what I show up to do.


The following section is to be completed by applicants interested in raiding only. If you are applying as a non-raider (i.e., are a friend or family member of a raider), feel free to leave this blank, but if you later decide you wish to raid, you will be expected to return to this app and fill out the remainder.


How many nights per week would you ideally like to raid?
5-7

Our heroic raids run from 9-12 PM server time on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Occasionally we may also do something heroic on a Sunday, which will usually run 8-11. What is your availability during those times? Available all times, can notify if unable to attend for some reason


Do you have a working headset and are able to both listen and reply in Ventrilo during raids? (Note, this is an absolute requirement for raid membership.)
Yes

What are your thoughts on applications which modify the user interface (“mods”)?
Due to the fast paced nature of the game, ui mods in wow are an absolute necessity in both pvp and pve in order to be able to react and make the correct decisions during events.

Our minimum mod requirements for raiding include Deadly Boss Mods, Omen and Decursive (for most classes). Your class officer will also provide class-specific mod requirements and macros to facilitate your gameplay. Do you have any problem loading and keeping these applications up to date, and do you think your computer will run smoothly with them installed?

For the most part, all of these and likely any core class addons are installed and work fine. Computer will have no trouble running them.


What is your previous raiding experience?
I've only raided in WoW through Wotlk content, but have a lot of experience in a raid environment from years of raiding in other mmorpgs.

For classes with two or three potential roles (tanking, healing, killing things), what is your offspec of choice, how would you rate your gearing level for that spec, and how high is your interest level in raiding as that spec if it helps the group progress?
Elemental is my offspec of choice, I'm geared fairly well due to the interchangeability of gear between resto and elemental but could benefit a lot from more haste otherwise I'm hit capped and have been able to maintain average dps

For damage-dealing roles, if the above is not available, what would you estimate your damage-per-second to be currently on a lvl 83 raid boss? (Recount is an excellent mod for collecting this sort of information live in-game.)


We use a modified “almost-zero-sum DKP” loot distribution system. You can view the write-up on this policy on our forum. What do you think of this method of loot distribution? As long as there's a decay rate of dkp and it's not allowed to endlessly accumulate the system works fine typically.
