Damage Control Guild Application

Your Name

Robin Ferguson

Main Character

Boominator

Race and Class
Tauren Druid
Your Age:

17

What time zone do you live in?

EST

Have you ever applied to Damage Control before?

No

Please provide more detailed information about yourself below

Previous guilds & why you left -- please include transfer information:

Unity, unfair raid times. Not to many friendly people, also not getting raid content down as fast I would have liked.

Raid Experience:

On my Alliance character named "Brugen" On the server Cho'gall I have reached Sindragosa but have yet to down her, or the Lich King.

Why are you applying to Damage Control?

Because I am looking for a raiding guild who is looking to get finished with end game content ASAP. I was told Damage Control was in need of a Restoration Druid, so i applied ASAP because I know how much of a pleasure it would be to be in this guild :)

Please tell us how you are currently working to "gear up" your toon and maximize your raid output (such as running heroics, PuGs, crafting, PvP, arena, etc.) and what current stats you're looking to improve.

Right now, I am finishing up with heroics and focusing more on getting the pieces that heroics did not cover out of raids. What i'd definitely work on the hardest stat wise is probably my Spell Power.

Are you prepared to rotate your raid spot?

Yes, I am more then prepared whatever the guild asks of me, I'm up for.

Do you have Ventrilo and a working mic?

Yes, I have both up and working :)

References (if applicable):

I can't remember the name, but he noticed I was looking for a guild and I was a resto druid, and he asked me to apply.

Additional information you'd like us to consider:

Thank you for taking your time and going over my application, have a great day! :)

Saw him looking for a raiding guild and mentioned we may still need a resto. Have not run any instances with him so I can't attest to his skill, attitude, etc.

Non-Epic gems in gear makes me cry a little. He's quite young and lives eastcoast. His gear is lacking but if his skills/knowledge of ICC is up there I wouldn't mind tossing a trial run his way. I question how many people are we wanting on our heal team, as it seems we are having to sit people in order to bring more in?

only possibly considering a resto druid.

Seems like gear/spec/glyphs could use a bit of work. While its nice to have experience, it appears a resto spec and set was just thrown together to app, which I'm not a fan of.

Few comments:

Gear
Your resto set gear has too much of the wrong stats on it. Your first goal should be getting to haste cap, which is ~750ish with Celestial Focus, and ~850ish without it. However, you don't have Celestial Focus, and only 354 haste which is an issue.

Since badges are easy you should go for the 4pc T9 since the bonus is OP and you already have 3 pieces.

No enchant on your shoulders, helm, bracers.

Some lower level enchants need to be replaced with the best tier.

Hit rep ring should be replaced with haste healer rep ring.

Also you should never gem for full out spirit. It should be primarily spellpower, sp/haste, or sp/spirit to get meta requirements or nice socket bonuses.

Spec
Your spec could use a little work. I would drop Living Seed since you won't be ever tanking healing in 25, as well as Empowered Touch.

Glyphs
Your glyphs are really weird. I'm not sure why you have entangling roots, unless maybe for PVP. You should at least have Rapid Rejuvenation, which is almost essential in 25m raids when you get some nice haste.

applicants need to have an idea what spots they are apping for how to play their spec.

Throwing something together last minute is a real way to get your app insta denied. I'll sit on this another day or two to see if he makes a post in the forums or does anything with the spec/glyphs.

Thanks Monty for pointing out that earlier app. Based off this and other factors (how the hell do you forget apping in the past?) I would put this down a denied.
