3. Link to an Armory profile, and an explanation of anything that may not be readily apparent from your Armory profile (alternate sets of gear, currently PvP-specced, etc.)

4. What are your usual playing hours? Are there days/times when you are consistently unavailable? Inform us of your daily work/school schedule, what time do you get home from work/school, and what time must you be in bed for the next day. Are you able to make our raid times in general? Is this availability going to change within the next few months, or with a change in Semester (if applicable)?
I try to be in bed before midnight EST if I can help it. Get home from work around 5:30-5:45EST and will usually be on and off the rest of the night. Raid times fit well for me.
5. Discuss your prior endgame raiding experience. Specify your experience with Heroic/Mythic in previous content as well as your experience in the current tier.
Currently raiding in <SCH>-Bleeding Hollow. They had finished Uldir at US157, I joined after progression was finished due to taking a break previously. Other guilds include:
Uldir - NO FUN NOT EVER (3/8) > SCH (8/8)
Antorus - Tsu (US233)
ToS - Might (US18)
Nighthold - Might (US15)
EN - VISCERAL (US130)
6. Why do you want to leave your current guild? Why do you want to join us? Specifically, what interests you in our band of merry idiots?
While I really like my current guild, it is bogged down with less than proficient "legacy players" i.e. players who have been in the guild for a LONG time and are very close to the leadership, but are not very good and generally hold the group back.
7. Give us some info on your class knowledge and self performance analysis in this section:
7a. What resources and practices do you use to keep up with your class and maximizing your DPS/HPS/Surivability?
Stormearthandlava.com, Earthshrine DIscord, as well as Raidbots/Simcraft/Bloodmallet for simming purposes.
7b. What fights in the current tier do you swap Talents and Traits to something different than the norm (if at all)? What do you swap and why? Feel free to list on a boss per boss basis.
With the most recent change to Elemental Azerite Traits, it seems that Ele is best switching to an Icefury-centric build, which is perfect because it makes Ele extremely mobile in comparison to the other builds. Based on current sims it does not seem like we would switch away from this.
7c. How do you analyze your performance on a new fight and figure out how/what you can improve on next week? Don't just say you use logs and compare to others of your class - what specifically are you looking for when you have a good/bad parse?
When looking at logs, I'm always checking buff uptimes, resource usage, CD usage, and determining the best usage of CD's after determining the final kill time.
8. Please include your character log report showcasing your performance on the relevant bosses of the tier. If your logs are private, please change your Warcraftlogs login and list the username/password here so we can access your logs. If you aren't comfortable listing it publicly, please PM it to Palin privately on these forums. Please remember to change your WCL login again a few days later after we've reviewed your application.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/ ... ivenarious H BoD logs,
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/ ... artition=2 M Uldir Logs
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/ ... e=detailed M Nighthold Logs from raiding in <Might> (since this was asked for last time I applied)
9. Of the above logs, please do a quick analysis of what fights you did well on, what went wrong on certain fights, etc. Use this chance to explain any context behind good/bad logs.
For the heroic BoD logs, overall I was generally pleased with the damage even though it's hard to weigh heroic logs. Where I struggled was with the high mobility fights (final 3) due to Shamans not being able to maintain DPS while on the move. This is something I would expect to get fixed after we killed the bosses again this week due to switching to Icefury.
10. Can your PC handle WoW at high effects (Lust, Scorp Room, etc.)?
Yes sir.
11. Please include a SS of your raiding UI. IF A KEYBINDING IS NOT SHOWN NO YOUR FRAME, PLEASE EXPLAIN AND list any relevant keybinds not shown in the screenshot. Make sure we can see everything that pops up in a raid, meaning take the SS in combat in LFR or something of the like so we can see your boss mods, timer positioning, WeakAuras, raid frames, etc.
12. Tell us a bit about yourself. Age, gender, work/school, hobbies, etc. Add anything else you feel is pertinent.
My name is Ryan. I'm a mechanical engineer who recently moved to Cleveland because my work requires me to relocate every year. I like to play music and kill dragons.
Also I applied to this guild previously but was turned down and asked to reapply after bringing my current exp back into line. If that application is still floating in the nether, you can cross-reference it as well.
13. Out-of-game contact information - Discord tag, Battle.net ID, etc. Some way we can contact you besides these forums.
