<br />
Armory Link: <a href="http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonmaw&amp;cn=Weedub" target="_blank">http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet...&#x26;cn=Weedub</a> (it currently shows me in my pvp gear for some reason but when I logged out I was in my pve gear)<br />
<br />
My classes role as a ret paladin is to stack on the bosses ass and hit him...hard. I chose this class because I know that I can dps hard while being able to dps adds, and provide other functionality to the group (clench heals, cleansing using hands properly etc..).<br />
<br />
For Bosses I use seal of coruption since it's better for single target and for trash I use seal of command. I open with judgement then use divine storm as my set bonus allows it to proc from a COH (chance on hit) so I need it on cooldown as fast as possible. I then use crusader strike and depending on if the boss is undead (for icc yes) exorcism. If it is not I drop concercration unless he is bellow 25% when I use hamer of wrath.<br />
<br />
Current Guild: Primal Dreams I am leaving this guild because to be quite honest though I enjoy the people in the guild it is not progressing at all.<br />
Previous Guild(s): AMP. I left do to them constantly looting on pug'd runs to whoever they felt like not the highest roll which was sometimes even me (even though I was in they're guild).<br />
Entity: I left do the fact they did not have an open raid slot for me. Why would I be in a raiding guild if I can't raid with them?<br />
<br />
I left as naxx came out for school and just completed my training program about 5 months ago. Since then I have come back with a vengance as I progress as hard as possible.<br />
<br />
The first time I faced blood queen in 25man. It was hard because it was the first time I ever faced her and was not sure about the bite mechinic. After a whipe due to people standing too close during bloodbowl whirl (of which I survived due to a quick bubble) we quickly figured out the mechanic and downed her.<br />
<br />
My strength is that I never want to give up no mater how frustrated I get with the fight. As for a weekness I would say my unwillingness to take a leap into being a raid leader, many times I have needed to do a raid but felt uncomfortable with leading the raid.<br />
<br />
I'm and avid airsoft player with multiple airsoft weapons. I can talk for hours about it<br />
<br />
Yes I both have vent and a working headset.<br />
<br />
I am usually on every day at least for an hour. Since I generaly don't play my 360 wow is my main form of entertainment<br />
<br />
I would ultimetly expect to be part of a fun active guild.<br />
<br />
They should expect punctionality from members as well as a willingness to learn and put up with a few wipes<br />
<br />
I would be upset only if my spot was given away without an explantion. As for the whipes it really depends if people are being stupid and standing in fire then yes I would be upset as it's unnecessary.<br />
<br />
whisper an officer and figure out a solution or a explination as to why it is done/happened that way<br />
<br />
Saw a banner in trade chat about a month ago and started chating with neoalucard the other day about joining.<br />
<br />
I want to be part of a fun active guild that allows me to progress instead of just have me sitting arround promising to get a run going with it never happening.<br />
<br />
None at the moment<br />
<br />
I aint garbage.....]]></description>

-Character name: Furore/Mengil/Märah<br />
-Age: 21<br />
-Gender: Male<br />
-Where you Live: Washington state<br />
<br />
-Armory Link:<br />
-Furore: This is my Co-main character and primary applicant to this guild.<br />
<a href="http://us.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonmaw&amp;cn=Furore" target="_blank">http://us.wowarmory.com/character-sheet....&#x26;cn=Furore</a><br />
-Mengil: This used to be my main character, now he is more like a co-main character along side my warrior whom I would like to make my main if possible.<br />
<a href="http://us.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonmaw&amp;cn=Mengil" target="_blank">http://us.wowarmory.com/character-sheet....&#x26;cn=Mengil</a><br />
-Märah: This character gets minimal play and is not really intended for end game use since pug leaders these days tend to be obsessed with gear score rather than skill and I am too busy gearing up my other two characters to worry about this one.  =/<br />
<a href="http://us.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonmaw&amp;cn=M%C3%A4rah" target="_blank">http://us.wowarmory.com/character-sheet....M%C3%A4rah</a><br />
<br />
-What is your class role in raids: <br />
-Furore: fury warrior is a melee dps class, I picked it over arms because it has a statistically higher damage output, I liked the idea of a duel-wielding plate wearer in vanilla and because I am awful at arms DPS.  I dabble a little bit in prot spec, and I am decent at tanking but that raid role tends to be full in most guilds.<br />
-Mengil: I only play resto on mengil now, although throughout the past 5 and a half years I have played every talent build and style for druids during vanilla and for each expansion.  Druids are stereotypically raid healers.  Although their single heal throughput is substantial, it is generally not as mana efficient as other healing classes.  The key advantages druid healers have over other healer classes is their mobility and sustained healing while incapacitated (I.E. HoTs still ticking even while the druid is stunned). Druid healers shine in fights where there is either incredible single target damage on the main tank or there is decay on the entire raid.<br />
-Märah: As holy priests have many aspects in common with druids, although they lack the variety of HoTs, holy priests make up for it in the instant heal department with renew healing on cast, prayer of mending and circle of healing, and should the talent be active flash heal can also be instant.  Their talent build allows for much more mana regeneration relative to other classes if geared properly.  Holy priests have powerful single target healing, that is both effective and mana efficient.  Combined with the unique ability to power word: shield holy priests, in my mind, are the jack of all trades of the healing role.   Conversely, disc priests are much more niche in their role emphasizing their unique shield ability at the cost of actual healing power.  Personally I tend to categorize disc priests as damage prevention not healers, since most of their "healing" comes in the form of aegis and PW: S in the raid environment.<br />
<br />
-Detail your rotation:<br />
The thing I like about all the classes I play, with the exception of feral and possibly boomkin specs, is that there isn't really a rotation per say.  My fury warrior has priorities as follows: WW, bloodthirst, (sunder armor if no prot war is in group), slam, heroic strike/cleave depending on fight structure.<br />
-Link any parses you have: Sadly I do not have anything of this sort, although teakiyari can vouch for my healing prowess.  I ran a pug ICC25 last week and pulled about 10-11k DPS on trash and maybe 8-9k dps on bosses with the hellscream buff. For ToC25 I pulled about 6.3-7.0k average dps.<br />
<br />
-Current/Previous Guild(s): Currently unguilded, I stopped playing about a year ago to take some time off and focus on school.  At the time I was in Glory to Chaos, which has since disbanded.<br />
<br />
-What is your experience within WoTLK?<br />
I have experience with the normal modes for everything up to 7/12 bosses in ICC, and hard mode experience for most fights in ulduar and all fights in ToC.<br />
<br />
-What is the hardest fight you have participated in, why was it hard?<br />
I suppose the hardest fight I have participated in would be Illidan back in B/C, due to the high demand on healers as well as the multiple phases.  That being said, fights aren't especially hard as a healer you just make sure the green bars are full and you don't stand in stuff that looks painful...<br />
-Tell us your Strengths and Weaknesses as a Raider.<br />
Strengths: I pick up on fights very quickly, and I strive to be the best at whatever I am doing.<br />
Weaknesses:  Failure to be the best or at least exceptional at my job tends to put me in a sour mood, I also tend to apply sarcasm liberally over the inter-webs which translates terribly due to the lack of body language/intonation. <br />
<br />
-Tell us something fun about yourself that we wouldn't know.<br />
My dream career could loosely be considered the "mad scientist" job, surgery/bioengineering research to be specific.<br />
<br />
-Are you able to use Ventrilo? Currently I can only listen, but as soon as I return home in a few weeks I will have access to a headset with a mic.<br />
<br />
-When you are not raiding how often are you on WoW; what do you like to do when not raiding?  Right now I am on WoW alot because I am away from most of my RL friends.  My play time will drop off significantly to making raid times and occasionally checking the AH.<br />
<br />
-What do you expect from &lt;SHO&gt; when you join the guild?<br />
I expect a guild that will allow me to fully enjoy the more difficult content in the game.  Who knows, I might even get some gear along the way.<br />
<br />
-What should &lt;SHO&gt; expect from you and other members?<br />
I should be expected to be prompt and ready for raids, with multiple days notice if there is a conflict with raid times (except in the case of emergencies cause they happen to everyone).  Ready means, reading up on fights that are new to myself or the guild, understanding each classes role in the fight so as to help others when they do not understand, be fully prepared and equipped with food/flasks/reagents.  Maturity is also a must and any "friendly debates" should be handled in private, not over guild chat.  I should also be expected to have a positive attitude, especially when it comes to working on new content because those are the days when it feels like you are bashing your head into a brick wall sometimes.<br />
<br />
-How likely are you to get upset after a wipe? After being called out? After not making it to a raid? After a friend or yours doesn't get into a raid?<br />
Wipes are generally not upsetting to me unless they are caused by blatant failure like facing acidmaw at the raid or something, even then I have to be pretty pissed to start off with before I react to a wipe.  Generally I am just embarrassed when I get called out because it is a mistake I already know I made.  If I don't make it into a raid I might be upset if I was a veteran guild member that showed up on time and ready and had a guaranteed spot that was given away, but since none of those qualifiers apply to me I can't really justify being upset about not making it in to a raid.  If a friend of mine doesn't get in the raid... I don't currently have any playing WoW, and if they didn't make it I'm sure there would be some whispers going back and forth but thats about it.<br />
<br />
-If you have a problem with how something in the guild is run how would you deal with it?<br />
<br />
I would whisper whichever person was in charge of that function of the guild and discuss it in a cool-headed and logical fashion.<br />
<br />
-How did you hear about us? <br />
<br />
Teakiyari, Blanconino and Muskat all joined your guild and I used to play with them.  I asked Moobiez if they were still in the guild after enchanting a cloak for him and after some chatting he directed me to this website.<br />
<br />
-Why do you want to join our guild?<br />
<br />
To play with some people that I know, enjoy a guild that is stable and possibly wear a silly hat every raid day.<br />
<br />
-What other guilds are you applying to if any?<br />
<br />
I have an application pending for complicated mechanics, but I think if I was given the choice I would pick SHO just cause I know people here.<br />
<br />
-Anything else you would like to add?<br />
If you are walking down the street and a wheel falls off your canoe, how many pancakes does it take to shingle a dog roof?<br />
Purple because icecream has no bones.]]></description>

-Märah: As holy priests have many aspects in common with druids, although they lack the variety of HoTs, holy priests make up for it in the instant heal department with renew healing on cast, prayer of mending and circle of healing, and should the talent be active flash heal can also be instant.  Their talent build allows for much more mana regeneration relative to other classes if geared properly.  Holy priests have powerful single target healing, that is both effective and mana efficient.  Combined with the unique ability to power word: shield holy priests, in my mind, are the jack of all trades of the healing role.   Conversely, disc priests are much more niche in their role emphasizing their unique shield ability at the cost of actual healing power.  Personally I tend to categorize disc priests as damage prevention not healers, since most of their "healing" comes in the form of aegis and PW: S in the raid environment.<br />
<br />
-Detail your rotation:<br />
The thing I like about all the classes I play, with the exception of feral and possibly boomkin specs, is that there isn't really a rotation per say.  My fury warrior has priorities as follows: WW, bloodthirst, (sunder armor if no prot war is in group), slam, heroic strike/cleave depending on fight structure.<br />
-Link any parses you have: Sadly I do not have anything of this sort, although teakiyari can vouch for my healing prowess.  I ran a pug ICC25 last week and pulled about 10-11k DPS on trash and maybe 8-9k dps on bosses with the hellscream buff. For ToC25 I pulled about 6.3-7.0k average dps.<br />
<br />
-Current/Previous Guild(s): Currently unguilded, I stopped playing about a year ago to take some time off and focus on school.  At the time I was in Glory to Chaos, which has since disbanded.<br />
<br />
-What is your experience within WoTLK?<br />
I have experience with the normal modes for everything up to 7/12 bosses in ICC, and hard mode experience for most fights in ulduar and all fights in ToC.<br />
<br />
-What is the hardest fight you have participated in, why was it hard?<br />
I suppose the hardest fight I have participated in would be Illidan back in B/C, due to the high demand on healers as well as the multiple phases.  That being said, fights aren't especially hard as a healer you just make sure the green bars are full and you don't stand in stuff that looks painful...<br />
-Tell us your Strengths and Weaknesses as a Raider.<br />
Strengths: I pick up on fights very quickly, and I strive to be the best at whatever I am doing.<br />
Weaknesses:  Failure to be the best or at least exceptional at my job tends to put me in a sour mood, I also tend to apply sarcasm liberally over the inter-webs which translates terribly due to the lack of body language/intonation. <br />
<br />
-Tell us something fun about yourself that we wouldn't know.<br />
My dream career could loosely be considered the "mad scientist" job, surgery/bioengineering research to be specific.<br />
<br />
-Are you able to use Ventrilo? Currently I can only listen, but as soon as I return home in a few weeks I will have access to a headset with a mic.<br />
<br />
-When you are not raiding how often are you on WoW; what do you like to do when not raiding?  Right now I am on WoW alot because I am away from most of my RL friends.  My play time will drop off significantly to making raid times and occasionally checking the AH.<br />
<br />
-What do you expect from &lt;SHO&gt; when you join the guild?<br />
I expect a guild that will allow me to fully enjoy the more difficult content in the game.  Who knows, I might even get some gear along the way.<br />
<br />
-What should &lt;SHO&gt; expect from you and other members?<br />
I should be expected to be prompt and ready for raids, with multiple days notice if there is a conflict with raid times (except in the case of emergencies cause they happen to everyone).  Ready means, reading up on fights that are new to myself or the guild, understanding each classes role in the fight so as to help others when they do not understand, be fully prepared and equipped with food/flasks/reagents.  Maturity is also a must and any "friendly debates" should be handled in private, not over guild chat.  I should also be expected to have a positive attitude, especially when it comes to working on new content because those are the days when it feels like you are bashing your head into a brick wall sometimes.<br />
<br />
-How likely are you to get upset after a wipe? After being called out? After not making it to a raid? After a friend or yours doesn't get into a raid?<br />
Wipes are generally not upsetting to me unless they are caused by blatant failure like facing acidmaw at the raid or something, even then I have to be pretty pissed to start off with before I react to a wipe.  Generally I am just embarrassed when I get called out because it is a mistake I already know I made.  If I don't make it into a raid I might be upset if I was a veteran guild member that showed up on time and ready and had a guaranteed spot that was given away, but since none of those qualifiers apply to me I can't really justify being upset about not making it in to a raid.  If a friend of mine doesn't get in the raid... I don't currently have any playing WoW, and if they didn't make it I'm sure there would be some whispers going back and forth but thats about it.<br />
<br />
-If you have a problem with how something in the guild is run how would you deal with it?<br />
<br />
I would whisper whichever person was in charge of that function of the guild and discuss it in a cool-headed and logical fashion.<br />
<br />
-How did you hear about us? <br />
<br />
Teakiyari, Blanconino and Muskat all joined your guild and I used to play with them.  I asked Moobiez if they were still in the guild after enchanting a cloak for him and after some chatting he directed me to this website.<br />
<br />
-Why do you want to join our guild?<br />
<br />
To play with some people that I know, enjoy a guild that is stable and possibly wear a silly hat every raid day.<br />
<br />
-What other guilds are you applying to if any?<br />
<br />
I have an application pending for complicated mechanics, but I think if I was given the choice I would pick SHO just cause I know people here.<br />
<br />
-Anything else you would like to add?<br />
If you are walking down the street and a wheel falls off your canoe, how many pancakes does it take to shingle a dog roof?<br />
Purple because icecream has no bones.]]></content:encoded>

<a href="http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonmaw&amp;cn=Odaren" target="_blank">http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet...&#x26;cn=Odaren</a> <br />
Working on professions as i did this.<br />
<br />
-What is your class role in raids: (Please explain why you choose your class and spec what are the advantages of bringing you to a raid over another skilled member)<br />
I'm a tank healer. I choose to play my class because i found paladins really fun and i enjoy healing. My advantages are i am able to do many things at once. Keeping the tank topped off well watching everything that is happening around me. I read up on all the fights so i know what is going to happen, so i use this to my best advantage.<br />
<br />
-Detail your rotation:<br />
My main heal is Holy light and i will use Flash of light sometimes, and when i'm moving around i use holy shock. I'll use plea when i'm about 75 %. <br />
<br />
-Link any parses you have: (WoL, WWS, even a screen shot of recount is great as long as its clear)<br />
 I just started playing again , i stopped before the summer. So i am not able to provide any Logs at this time.<br />
<br />
-Current/Previous Guild(s): (Please include why you left your previous guilds be thorough)<br />
I was in a guild called Remnants. I stopped playing because of work related problems.<br />
<br />
-What is your experience within WoTLK?<br />
I started playing when ICC first came out. And i was able to do all of 10 and 25 full clears on reg.<br />
<br />
<br />
-What is the hardest fight you have participated in, why was it hard?<br />
I don't like Princess at all, just seem to have mana issues there.<br />
<br />
-Tell us your Strengths and Weaknesses as a Raider.<br />
My strengths are being able to watch everything that is happening in the fight and keeping the tanks up. I think my weaknesses are that i get worried that i may not do well and i am afraid of not doing my best.<br />
<br />
-Tell us something fun about yourself that we wouldn't know.<br />
I enjoy sports, i love talking about them and i also play football.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Are you able to use Ventrilo? (This includes having a working microphone/headset)<br />
Yup yup !<br />
<br />
-When you are not raiding how often are you on WoW; what do you like to do when not raiding?<br />
I'm on it alot actually. I enjoy PVPing and doing achivements.<br />
<br />
-What do you expect from &lt;SHO&gt; when you join the guild?<br />
I expect a fun guild, great people. And a guild that knows how to progress.<br />
<br />
-What should &lt;SHO&gt; expect from you and other members?<br />
That i am a good PVE'er i will always be on time for raids and i will do my best.<br />
<br />
-How likely are you to get upset after a wipe? After being called out? After not making it to a raid? After a friend or yours doesn't get into a raid?<br />
If we wipe and it is because of me, i usually just agree and say sorry and try to correct myself the next. And i think i'll be fine if my friend doesnt get in.<br />
<br />
-If you have a problem with how something in the guild is run how would you deal with it?<br />
I'll talk to the raid leader and ask him about it, and if it is not changed i'll probably get over it. I'm a really laid back guy,so yeah.<br />
<br />
-How did you hear about us? (Include any friends in the guild or references)<br />
Dripdripdip told me to app.<br />
<br />
-Why do you want to join our guild?<br />
I just transferred so i'm looking for a good guild that is in need of a holy paladin<br />
<br />
-What other guilds are you applying to if any?<br />
Sound and Fury.<br />
<br />
-Anything else you would like to add?<br />

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Killed During Warmup Race<br />
Posted: Mon, Jul 6, 09 - 2:15:03 PM EDT<br />
 <br />
<br />
NEW! Breaking News Alerts straight to your mobile phone!<br />
<br />
<br />
 (AP.com) – Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose legacy as the 3rd generation to carry the Earnhardt name onto the race track, has died Monday. Earnhardt, a celebrated winner of 15 cup races, was training today for his upcoming race at Darlington when he apparently lost control of his practice car.<br />
<br />
According to witnesses, Earnhardt’s car slid on a patch of slightly wet track while making a turn early into a practice run. The car he was driving jolted slightly to the right and then swerved sharply to the left, causing the car to turn horizontal to the flow of the track. The car then rolled over twice and landed upside down, skidding along the track.<br />
<br />
When paramedics arrived, Earnhardt was found unconscious, but breathing. A nearby helicopter was called to have him airlifted to St. Mark’s hospital in nearby Springfield. Complications during the flight, due to internal bleeding, caused Earnhardt to stop breathing and he was pronounced dead, while in flight, at 9:25 AM.<br />
<br />
“The injuries to Mr. Earnhardt’s internal organs were too severe for us to effectively treat while transporting him to our medical center” Said Dr. Post, of St. Mark’s Trauma Center.<br />
<br />
Dale Earnhardt Jr. gained notoriety when, in a similar racing accident, his father Dale Earnhardt Sr. died during the Daytona 500 race in 2001. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was credited with having rallied the fans of Nascar by continuing in his father’s footsteps to become a great race car driver in his own right. His father, known by racing fans as “The Intimidator”, was considered by many fans to be the greatest racing driver ever. Earnhardt Jr. was known by his fans to be the undisputed successor to his father’s fame.<br />
<br />
“This is an absolute shock. We’ve lost a pillar of our organization.” Said Charles Strang, the newly minted commissioner of Nascar. He went on to say “In a sanctioned race, this track would never have been used.”<br />
<br />
According to a spokesman for Hendrick Motor Sports, and sources in the Earnhardt family, a funeral has not been scheduled. <br />
<br />
At a press conference detailing President Obama’s new economic plan, a question was posed concerning the death of Earnhardt. The President replied that “…This is (the sort of) tragedy that can be avoided. The flagrant disregard for safety in professional racing should be studied, and if required, the federal government will step in to verify that things such as this do not happen again.” <br />
<br />
President Obama’s press secretary explained the president’s remarks by saying that Nascar races operate at “Unsafe speeds” and that “Tougher speed limits might be necessary.”<br />
<br />
The death of Dale Earnhardt Jr. comes quickly on the heels of the deaths of Ed Mcmahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson, who died June 25th.<br />
<br />
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is survived by his mother, Brenda Earnhardt, and his wife Kathy. <br />

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Killed During Warmup Race<br />

<br />
 (AP.com) – Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose legacy as the 3rd generation to carry the Earnhardt name onto the race track, has died Monday. Earnhardt, a celebrated winner of 15 cup races, was training today for his upcoming race at Darlington when he apparently lost control of his practice car.<br />
<br />
According to witnesses, Earnhardt’s car slid on a patch of slightly wet track while making a turn early into a practice run. The car he was driving jolted slightly to the right and then swerved sharply to the left, causing the car to turn horizontal to the flow of the track. The car then rolled over twice and landed upside down, skidding along the track.<br />
<br />
When paramedics arrived, Earnhardt was found unconscious, but breathing. A nearby helicopter was called to have him airlifted to St. Mark’s hospital in nearby Springfield. Complications during the flight, due to internal bleeding, caused Earnhardt to stop breathing and he was pronounced dead, while in flight, at 9:25 AM.<br />
<br />
“The injuries to Mr. Earnhardt’s internal organs were too severe for us to effectively treat while transporting him to our medical center” Said Dr. Post, of St. Mark’s Trauma Center.<br />
<br />
Dale Earnhardt Jr. gained notoriety when, in a similar racing accident, his father Dale Earnhardt Sr. died during the Daytona 500 race in 2001. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was credited with having rallied the fans of Nascar by continuing in his father’s footsteps to become a great race car driver in his own right. His father, known by racing fans as “The Intimidator”, was considered by many fans to be the greatest racing driver ever. Earnhardt Jr. was known by his fans to be the undisputed successor to his father’s fame.<br />
<br />
“This is an absolute shock. We’ve lost a pillar of our organization.” Said Charles Strang, the newly minted commissioner of Nascar. He went on to say “In a sanctioned race, this track would never have been used.”<br />
<br />
According to a spokesman for Hendrick Motor Sports, and sources in the Earnhardt family, a funeral has not been scheduled. <br />
<br />
At a press conference detailing President Obama’s new economic plan, a question was posed concerning the death of Earnhardt. The President replied that “…This is (the sort of) tragedy that can be avoided. The flagrant disregard for safety in professional racing should be studied, and if required, the federal government will step in to verify that things such as this do not happen again.” <br />
<br />
President Obama’s press secretary explained the president’s remarks by saying that Nascar races operate at “Unsafe speeds” and that “Tougher speed limits might be necessary.”<br />
<br />
The death of Dale Earnhardt Jr. comes quickly on the heels of the deaths of Ed Mcmahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson, who died June 25th.<br />
<br />
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is survived by his mother, Brenda Earnhardt, and his wife Kathy. <br />

Not that anyone cares.  Just figured I'd reminisce.  It makes me happy to see that the guild is still around, though.]]></description>
