Who are you loyal to: No specific allegiance, Felwand has been under many different leaders, notably being an honourary member of the Red Guard, of the Silverwing Elite.

What are your religious views: Being a warlock, her necromatic training has squewed her religious views somewhat, and she takes most religion with a pinch of salt.

How do you feel about the Horde: I generally follow the principle of "live and let live", but if all else fails, "an eye for an eye" works out well enough.

Link to your Armory Page: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Scarshield+Legion&n=Felwand

Please explain your choice of talents: Affliction up to malediction, for the obvious raid advantage it gives to frost/fire and shadow/arcane damage doers (go mages locks doomkins etc :p) invaluable in a raid in my opinion. Curse of exhaustion to aid in any kiting situation such as the Striders on vashj. No need for any points in Suppression as i'm a hybrid spec and hit capped anyway so better spent elsewhere. As to the hybrid, i've found that taking destro up to ruin as opposed to unstable affliction has shown a noticable increase in my raid damage output, which can only increase with gear from now on. That leaves one point to chuck anywhere really, this current spec puts it into the 1/2 hs to hopefully give more healthstones within the raid but that's something for locks to sort between themselves i think.
PS. I would love to spec full raid destruction at some point, but this obviously depends upon getting more crit/haste gear without overly compromising on spell hit.

Please list your previous guilds if any: Adiuvo Amicus, The Silverwing Elites, Phoenix, Echoes of Lordaeron, Equillibrium, The Betrayers, Crysis.

Please list your previous raid experience if any: Full Kara/ZA, Full Gruul/Maggy, 6/6 SSC, 4/4 TK, 1 in MH. Not much to show gear wise from T5 though as i never had the dkp to roll against others in my loot group, only Void Shard from Solarian really.

Are there any members of the guild willing to sponsor you: Vasilla, oh and Senuseret if he's still around

How long have you been playing THIS character: Around 2.5 years, preTBC anyway.

How often do you play: Generally every day for a few hours at least. Quite often into the night, whenever i'm free really.

What Add Ons do you use: Grid, decursive, pally power, Omen2, recount, range display, necrosis(bit of a silly lock addon but meh), dot timers, spam sentry, Deadly Boss mods, Cartographer.

Why are you joining the guild: Raid Member

If your a DPS class what is your average effective DPS in a RAID environment:
Hmm interesting question, due to class mechanics, my dps fluctuates a lot in raid environments depending on the job required. With multiple tank pulls, an affliction lock is most useful doting up each tank target which majorly slows the dps shown by meters such as recount but doesn't significantly compromise damage, and obviously aoe majorly boosts dps above normal. Officially according to web calculators, i should be hitting around 1200 dps fully raid buffed, but i find 900 to be a more reliable number.

Alright Im gonna approve this application.

Vasilla does vouch for you, your gear is of a good standard, I would be inclined to call your talents pvp orientated, but with the support of ISB uptime of other locks combined with your Malediction I can see your dps being at an appropriate level, and I agree your own crit probably isnt high enough to see a big significant increase of personal dps by swapping to sac spec at this time, however i dont think it will take very long before your at the point and whilst i do want a Malediction lock in the raid I also want another lock who can do 1.6k+ dps when they have the threat gap to do it :-p so lets keep an eye on it and we can discuss it as your gear level rises.

Welcome aboard.
