Name: Bigbadbiff (Big Bad Teddybear)
Class: Paladin
Spec: Protection / Retribution
What is your experience with your offspec, and are you willing to play that in some raids should the guild require it to get the perfect setup for harder content?: Well I actually enjoy playing retribution, more than I like protection. But since the world needs good paladin tanks I keep motivating myself to play prot. I have killed every boss except Nefarian in both specs, and I played retri in WotLK so. I'd say my experience is the same in both of my specs. So I leave it all up to you deciding which spec. you want me to play as. I don't give a truck.

In regards to gear, are you willing to have your current gear maxed out in the way of gemming and enchanting, even if it is not the BiS piece? Well. I'm currently gemmed and enchanted for patch 4.1 in my prot. spec. Can improve some of the older ones whenever I want, but i see no point in upgrading my gear, when I'm not raiding at the moment. In my retri. gear, you could say that I am abit slack enchanted, but that is just as easy to fix as my protection gear. But back to the question: I do not enchant and fully gem blue gear. But as soon as I get any epic (353-x), I will immidiately gem and enchant it in any possible way until it is as good as it can be (That includes reforging, ofcourse), on any of my chars.
Professions, and why did you take these?: Jewelcrafting and Alchemy. I got Jewelcrafting to get the useful Jc gems, and also to help both myself, and guildies with crafting gems, so we can all make some pennys. That's why I found it useful. I actually chose Alchemy to get the Trinket, which had incredible stats for a protection + a socket. But now, when it is replaced, I can sometimes craft my flasks cheaper than AH price, and I can also make money from making flasks to other players. So I think I am pleased with my current professions.
Why are you applying to Revenant?: I left WoW for awhile. Didn't find it exciting anymore. I got kicked from my previous raiding guild, with a decent 11/12 normal progress. When I came back now, about two weeks before patch 4.2, i didn't have any guild to raid with, so I tried pugging. It made me hate my life, since some people really don't have brains. So I simply stopped raiding. Now when Firelands has come, I felt like I had to raid I mean, I can't chill in Orgrimmar all day with full pre-content epic gear, no fun. So I saw your announcement in the trade chat, and thought that I could try and put in some words, and hope for an invite. Other than that you are a very good guild with pleasing progress in the heroic content, and you also seem to be a couple of friendly people that I can also have fun and be social with.
Is there anyone in Revenant who can vouch for you?: Unfortunately no.
Previous guild(s), and why you were kicked, or why you left: Well I first joined Millenium. But the didn't have any raiding spots so I found their guild invite pretty useless since I was promised a raid spot. So I applied to Nothing Work Related instead. It took some time, and I finally got to join one of their raids. Was very pleased with them. A horde of friendly guys who could have fun and also have very good progress. Downed everything but Nef with them, over and over again. Then they decided to go 25-man, so the ones who wanted to raid 10-man left. The guild had a hard time finding people for raids and such, so they decided to go back to 10-man. That's when I left. I had lost my lust for playing and I decided to take a brake for some time, and when I came back, I was obviously already kicked.
What raiding experience you have, be as detailed as possible: Well I cleared TBC on my old warrior up to Kil'Jaeden. In WotLK I changed server and faction to Bloodfeather, Alliance. I leveled a paladin and I finally hit 80 when Ulduar was the hardest content. I downed all the easy content like Naxx, OS and Maly. Then, ToC came out. I cleared it in both 10 and 25 man pretty quick, never got into HC content though. Then ICC came out. I migrated to Darksorrow and faction changed to Horde. Slow and steady I cleared 11/12. Then I migrated to Lightning's Blade, Killed Lich King in 10-man and migrated back ( ye :p). Then I raided 25-man HC content with Dreams of Desolation. Then Cata hit stores. Level'd 85 and... I started to chill. Only went into heroics, no lust for raiding. But then, I finally joined a pug, and killed Valiona. I found it very funny and decided to find myself a guild, which was NwR. So I now have cleared BoT and Tot4w. Nef still alive though.
What kind of PC and connection do you have? (average FPS and MS in raids?): Well I have an old Dell, which I have customized into a MONSTER. My internet connection is very stable, and is called Netgear. I have no internet problems, and my fps will not drop in 25man raids during heavy AoE.
Our current raid nights are Thursday, Sunday and Tuesday, will you be able to attend most, or all of these nights?: Well, I might not be able to make it every Thursday, since I might have to workout that evening. But the other nights should not be a problem at all.
Do you speak and understand English clearly, as this will be the language used to communicate in the raids?: Well, ofcourse. Else I would not play this game I suppose.
Can you handle constructive critisism and do you use this to improve your general performance?: It is a part of the game. I can never be perfect, and I like to improve my preformances in raids. When I do good, I feel good. Allthough, I will always try my best to AVOID being yelled at. But when we are talking about stuff gear wise, or spec wise, Tell me, and I will be glad to get it fixed.
Link to a screenshot of your UI: I'm currently using the classic WoW UI, with DBM, and Recount + Omen. I've binded every useful spell at all kinds of crazy buttons, but I still know where I have everything.
Tell us something about yourself, this is the first impression we get of you, so take this as a good opportunity to make your application shine.
I'm an active guy, when I'm not out, I'm usually online. I like to play around and be social when I'm not in raids. I also love listening to music. Also, If you need help getting an alt geared or anything like that. TELL ME. I'm so damn bored all the time anyway so I will only be glad to help you. For example, I can get your newly leveled 85 character into the Zandalari heroics. Yeah. Ahwell, apart from that, I like saying "Ahwell" alot so get used to it. That's about everything about me. You may also remember that I love finding bugs and hax stuff so please, If you see me in a zone you can't get to, please don't report me :3. De Cookie Rulez Bai.
