Did you read the “Applicants read this first” thread? Yes

What is your availability? We raid Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 7:00 - 10:00 MST. Raid times are perfect. I get home at around 6:30 from Work.

List your computer specifications (CPU, RAM, Graphics Card) what is your average latency? Not a big computer guy i.e don't know how to find those specs. Latency averages around 80-100 and FPS usually sits around 20-25 in 25 man raids.

Ventrilo and Headset? Have you figured out “push to talk?” Yes, yes and yes.

What is your raiding experience?
10/25 Malygos
10/25 Sartharion (3D Pre Ulduar.)
10/25 Naxx (The Undying away from my 10m Drake)
10/25 Ulduar (Both drakes and Algalon kills as well as Herald of the Titans Pre-ToC)
10/25 ToGC (25 Mad Skill, 10 Insanity as the add tank.)
12/12 Gunship, Princes, BQL and Valithria hard modes on 10m
10/12 Gunship Hard Mode 25 Man.
Most of this content (exluding all ICC content) was done on my warrior. I sold the account back in December due to financial difficulties around the time tuition was due for school (not a problem anymore and I regretted it almost instantly. No chance of getting rid of 2 accounts.) He was the main tank of top ranked guild on Blackwing Lair, the guild master of Remedy, Dyressi, as well as a few other raid members can vouch for my experience. All ICC content listed was done on my paladin.

What is your PvP experience (Highest Rank, etc.)? I like to BG, was never too great at Arena.

What previous guilds have you been a part of? Why did you leave? What guild are you in right now? Cross-Server Applicants - What server are you from and why are you looking to transfer servers? I left Blackwing Lair around 3-4 days ago to come here. I was sick of not raiding (friend rank in Remedy) and wanted to contribute to a guild my skills and expertise. BWL is a completely dead, low-pop server with almost no content being cleared.

Other than your current raid spec, what other specs do you know how to play? My main offspec that I'm PvE geared for is Holy. I know how to play ret but don't have the gear to back it.

Will you respec if the guild asks you to? I will respec within Prot and to holy for some fights if an extra tank is not needed, however I intend on raiding primarily as prot.

Do you have raiding experience with any other classes or specs? Protection/Fury Warrior, Boomkin, Feral Tank, Resto Druid, Arc/Fire Mage, Blood DK Tank.

Why do you want to join The Driven? I'm looking for a guild on Kel'thuzad who fits my raid times that I can get back into the swing of things and raid with full time. Nothing is more exciting to me than downing difficult content. Going in to get in attempts on Boss A and end up downing him with attempts on Boss B is very exciting to me. It's why I play the game. I'm looking for 24 other people who get the same satisfaction.

What's your name and your age? Matthew, 21

What time zone do you live in? EST

What do you do for a living? What do you do for fun? I have a lifeguarding gig at a residential pool for the summer. Other than that I'm a part time student looking for work to get a handle on bills/move out etc. I love music/playing guitar/driving around, road trips etc.

Do you know anyone in the Driven? I do not.

Anything else you'd like for us to consider? I believe finding a skilled tank is far more difficult than finding a geared tank. I've been playing for 3+ years. I've tried the caster thing, the healer thing, the melee thing and nothing twixt my nethers like Tanking. It's exciting being the center of attention and holding the boss fight in your hands. I research all strats before we're there. I spend my time theorycrafting, researching specs, talking to other experienced players to try and improve my gameplay. I shutup in vent when it's required, I focus when I'm expected to and I mess and joke around when available. I am attentive and consistent. Thank you for the time reading this app, hope to hear from you!

Very well written app, you have a couple officers interested. Shoot myself or Amoraks a whisper in game and we will go from there. As you wrote skill is paramount to gear, and if your skill is where we hope it is we can overlook the fact that your not a warrior tank (which is what we were looking for).

Edit* I am also interested to see what your holy set is like. Since only so many fights require 3 tanks. So if you can log out in your holy gear i would appreciate it.

Hey,
Just wanted to give you a heads up since I haven't been on since my guild acceptance like two days ago that I recently installed Windows 7 and am currently going through the process of re-downloading everything (including WoW) and I should be on tomorrow or Monday at the very latest. Just so you guys didn't think I abandoned ship or anything

[Barogorn]

Ok, thanks for the heads up. Just LK 25 left for mon, not sure if your saved but its good practice. Otherwise feel free to find a gdkp or pug run till wed.

Ugh. Having massive problems with the downloader, it's getting stuck at like 62% every single time and my download goes down to like 13kbs. Going to a friends house either tomorrow night or the night after to try and download it there. Any body have the same problems with the downloader/other suggestions? Sorry again guys, I'll be with you asap!
Your Tank,
Brobot
