Character Name: Litant
Class: Druid

Your age: 31
Your weekly raid availability (We raid Fri/Sat 6-10pm server + Sun 4-8 server): The only night I'm currently unavailable is Wednesday nights. I'm available for all your raiding times.
What add-ons do you use (Check our Information for Raiders page to see our required mods)?
Do you have access to Vent? Yes. Working microphone.
What sort of tools (calculators, builders, spreadsheets, etc.) do you use to plan your characters (if any)?
I usually reference elitist jerks, mmo-champion and wow head for class discussion. I also use wowheroes to compare with other people in the same class.

List any ICC 25 achievements you have: I don't run 25 man raids. I've tried them and find that I enjoy 10 man content far more.
Please include a screenshot of your UI:
What are your best in slot items for each slot from ICC 10 normal mode (Give us your gear wishlist)?
What previous raid experience do you have?
I didn't start raiding until the end of BC. I ran Kara a few times as a resto. Since WotLK has been released, I've done:
Also, on all content listed above, I've taken several toons through including:
The only reason I include this information is to show that I know the fights from all perspectives.
What guilds have you been a member of?
Moogles Anonymous (Guild Leader) - still active
Knights of the Dragons - still active
Why did you leave your previous and current guilds?
Moogles is an ultra casual guild full of real life friends. Recently, the vast majority of my guildmates have left WoW to resume playing FFXI. At the time they left, we had cleared Deathbringer Saurfang when he was the furthest content in the game.
I still raid with Knights of the Dragons but only on Wednesday nights with my Priest. They have tried to set up weekend raids but it can't get off the ground. My desire to experience ICC before Cataclysm is released has prompted me to drop this application.
Why do you want to join Shade of Arrows (Be thorough with your answer)?
The only thing I want out of my WoW experience is to experience the most difficult endgame content before it becomes watered down by the release of Cataclysm. I don't need to be getting World First achievements for anything and I don't mind working through content progression. To me, this game is the most fun when you get a consistent group together and figure out a way to accomplish something.
Gear is not a motivating factor for me. I researched ICC drops for the first time in order to fill out the appropriate part of this application. I have absolutely no problem passing on drops to other people. The reason I play this game is to experience the content.
Tell us about yourself, to help us determine if you would be a good fit here (The more you put here, the better it looks):
I spent nearly two years running a raiding linkshell (guild) in Final Fantasy XI including deciding all drops and managing the website so I'm very responsible person. My one regret when I left that game is that I never got to fight the most difficult fights. I'm determined not to make the same mistake in WoW.
I'm very laid back and mature. Easy to get along with. I assure you that I'll show up to every raid night properly prepared (gemmed, enchanted, consumables, addons updated, fights researched). If I'm unable to make a raid, I will be happy to find a replacement and give plenty of notice.
I've run with Shade of Arrows several times. In fact, most of the Naxx achievements that I have are as a result of running with you shortly after the WotLK release. I enjoy the people in this guild and really look forward to conquering the LK as a member of Shade of Arrows. If you need an internal reference, I know that Deezd still remembers me.
One side note: I know from reading past applications that you typically ask potential recruits to join you for a raid before making a final decision. I should let you know now that I won't be available this coming weekend due to family being in town. I'll be happy to join another day.
