Do you have a working mic, are you mic shy?
i do, and no
Why Riot?:
im looking for a guild that does rapid progression and not always stuck on one boss for weeks.. makes WoW boring and i dont really want to quit because of that reason. You guys are top in the server, I am looking to contribute to that. I been playing wow for years, and know how to play my class well. (dps wise)
If you arena what is your average arena rating?
n/a
How do you prepare for a new encounter? What online resources do you use besides Tankspot to prep yourself for raid night?

fatboss, youtube, wowhead

Link your most recent logs showing your DPS/HPS on a few fights?
see blow
What mods do you use? Why do you use these mods?

dbm - help with boss mechanics
recount - dps check
omen meter - threat check
atlasloot - loot check
gatherer- easier to farm
halopro - max dps for halo
omen CC - help with CD check

The guild is working on downing a new boss, you have 90% attendance, then all of a sudden the raid leader cuts you from the raid because he wants to try out a certain raid composition. How would you react?

i would asking for the reasoning, and i guess 100 percent attendance is important. Also whatever is best for the guild

What do you do to prevent yourself from dying to mechanics like Void Zones, Brain Links, or Legion Flame? And take this question very seriously. Many of the hardest encounters in this game require you to stick to your rotation while keeping mobile. "LOL I DUNNO I MOVE OUT OF THEM" is not an answer.

dispersion - 90 percent dmg reduction
angelic feathers + power word shield = increase speed movement plus some damage reduction

Post a picture of your UI (even better, post a pic of your UI with recount showing your DPS/Heal meter). Give us a brief explanation of your UI, do you set up your UI so that it makes it easier for you to notice encounter debuffs, or void zones, or fire?

(dps was just for some trash and was afk for some of it, also grid was not working properly)
Can get a better pic upon request

i run a pretty good cpu, graphics shouldnt be a problem

Thanks for taking the time to apply to Ríot. At this time, we are pretty full. Our second raid may need an extra player or two for stability which is why I'm going to ask you to fix/clarify a few things. First, 10 man raiding is very dependent on the versatility of it's players. Please tell me why you would prefer not to heal. Any half decent, self respecting 10 man raid would probably not take a priest that can't heal. I am curious if you just don't like to heal or whether you are inexperienced at healing.

Please give me your heroic only raiding experience.

Please redo your ping and speed tests using the LOS ANGELES, CA data center (you used the Toronto, ON data center). This is useful information for the guild that gives us a good idea of possible problems with your internet. It is also an exercise in following directions...

Questions on our application are not optional. Please describe the specs of your computer.

Let me start off by saying that you would most likely be given an explanation as to why you were being sat for that particular fight. We raid on a pretty tight schedule and there isn't time for silly questions when bosses need to die. With those facts in mind please tell me what you would do and how you would feel after being asked to sit.

How do you avoid taking damage on fights where dispersion is part of the strategy and you cannot use it accept at a specific moment in the fight. Also, damage mitigation is great for unavoidable damage. This question is after what you do to prevent avoidable damage.

Lol, nice screen shot. Someone was bored. Please explain to me your key binding or whatever method you use to interact with your UI.

Finally, please provide some logs of your play if possible.

I honestly have never been asked to heal in a raid, i guess mainly because the groups already had a healer with offspec dps or vise versa. Also not much experience with it (i guess i should of rolled a lock)

For my heroic raiding experience, i dont remember that much..it was a couple of years ago but i remember doing some of firelands (shannox, rhyolith, alysrazor, baleroc) i believe i did a boss or two in BWD (omnotron, magmaw) and bastion of twlight (halfus and therlion)

Computer specs: Intel core i7 cpu, 8gig ram, nvidia geforce gts 250

I would be fine with it, things sometimes need to be done in order to progress, some classes may be better for a certain fight then others. As long as i was given an explanation, i would be fine with it.

"How do you avoid taking damage on fights where dispersion is part of the strategy and you cannot use it accept at a specific moment in the fight. Also, damage mitigation is great for unavoidable damage. This question is after what you do to prevent avoidable damage."

Im not really sure what you are asking here, i thought i answered this with angelic feathers and power word shield. Can also pop desperate measures and renew to heal some life. Vampire embrace/void shift is also an option.

as for my ui layout, i pretty much use the default.. i macro some CD's together with my keyboard (gaming keyboard) so easy to use. But other then that.. pretty straight forward

I will post some logs after i do some heroics. Let me know if anything else is needed thanks.

[sshaadoww]

couple logs, let me know if you need more (not full buffs and was almost 3 am on sat night >.<)

Sshaadoww, thanks again for taking the time to reply to my questions. At this time we can not make room for you on any raid teams currently running in the guild. Good luck in your search for a stable raid team. If you know anyone in the guild that will vouch for you, you are welcome to join our casual ranks.

[sshaadoww]

not looking for casual purposes, thanks for your time
