Real Life Info

Name?
Parker Mitchell

Location?
Salt Lake City, UT

Age?
21

What do you do?
College Student (off until early January)

How long have you been playing?
3.5 years

Have you been addicted to any other MMOs?
Addicted, no… but I have played Vindictus, DFO, & Dragon Nest with friends (Is World of Tanks really an MMO? If so I was addicted to that)

Do you have Ventrilo and a mic? Do you have a sexy voice?
Yes, Apparently when I am sick I sound even more sexy… don’t ask me :)

Do you have a stable computer and connection? Do you lag a lot?
Yes I have a stable connection and a very solid computer. I very rarely lag.

Post your play schedule. (Our Raid schedule is 6pm - 10pm server Sunday - Thursday)
Whenever I am free, that is usually during the day M-F & Sunday and every night but Thursday (occasionally Tuesday). Saturdays anytime when I am not busy elsewhere
What time each day do you normally get online?
After I wake up and work out, around 10 am Server at the latest.

What if any days are you not available?
Sometimes Tuesday & (Almost) All Thursday Nights, I usually am able to return home around 9 ish server time. I realize this is Onibatsu’s prime raiding time, but for the next month or so I am unavailable then. However, I am more than happy to only be a back-up raider until I can make more raid time.
(Post all times in Server Time - PST)

In Game Info:

Character Name:
Subsistence

Character Class:
Rogue

Include an Armory Link here:

Do you have any Off-spec gear or resist gear?
Can be fully reforged to Assassination (which I know to play as well or better than combat) and have a Heroic Feeding Frenzy dagger to use for it.

Talent Spec:
Why did you choose this spec?
Combat to me is more interactive and fun to play than Assassination, and is comparable in damage (even theoretically outperforms it in high-end gear)

Have you raided with other specs?
I have raided for most of Cataclysm as Assassination and can switch back easily if need be. Subtlety’s utility in PvE is broken at the moment so I do not even attempt to play it.

Professions:
Why aren't they maxxed?
Because the new expansion isn’t out yet… 525 is the best I could do so I apologize.
525 Leatherworking and 525 Jewelcrafting
Also 525 Fishing, Cooking, First Aid, & Archaeology

Any useful recipes/patterns?
Treads of the Craft for Agi Leather Wearers & Footwraps of Quenched Fire for Shaman Healers, all Leg Armor enchants available to Leatherworkers, and enough Daily tokens to get whatever JC recipe you need.

Are you willing to change your professions if asked?
Honestly, no. These 2 pull in more advantage than any other (81 Agi from JC and 80 from LW) and are perhaps the 2 most expensive to level. I cannot see a reason why I would need to switch

Previous Guilds:
(why did you leave or looking to leave your last guild?)
Big Fish is just not a place where I felt welcome and the people there do not have a fun attitude that I know at least some of the members of Onibatsu do.

Are you applying to any other guilds at this time?
No.

Why do you want to join Onibatsu?
Onibatsu has taken in many of my close friends in wow, and they have all spoken highly of Onibatsu and its members. I need to find a new place to call home because right now I really don’t have one, and I really hope that home can be Onibatsu.

Who in Onibatsu would recommend you for membership?
(Don't just list them, ask them, cause we will be)
Longeyes, Omny

Previous Raiding Experience
(Be Specific, and what you have done personally not what your guild has done)
In this tier, Firelands 7/7 1/7 Heroic (Shannox)

What is your Favorite Raid encounter and why?
My favorite raid encounter so far this tier is Lord Ryolith. While a lot of the encounter can be brought down as “RNG” it is immensely fun to see DPS output do something different than make big numbers.
Overall favorite though, I would have to say that while I did not have a chance to kill him while current, Yogg-Saron was my favorite overall encounter. The encounter itself, after the “Descent into madness” where the Titan halls shattered, left an unsettling impression on me and the different phases of the encounter, as well as a “sanity” gauge really spoke to me and I still enjoy the encounter to this day.

What Addons do you use while raiding?
DBM, PowerAuras, Omen, TargetHealthPercent

What consumables do you use while raiding?
Food, Pots, Poison, & Flask

Extra Credit

What do you think the strengths and weaknesses of your class are?
Great utility and damage output are counterbalanced by not bringing buffs to the raid and slow ramp-up time which makes us bad candidates for add-switching etc.

What do you feel Blizzard should change about your class to improve it, and why?
While it may unbalance PvP a bit, I wish for 3 main things to somewhat lessen the gravity of our issues,
A- Make Deadly Poison only require 1 stack before applying Instant Poison as well (decrease ramp-up time)
B- Make Shadowstep a baseline rogue ability available to all 3 specs so we can get to adds or alternate targets in a timely fashion
C- Allow us to generate combo points at range with Throw so we can still use Deadly Throw/make Throw instant and usable while moving
(also as a side note just for combat I wish Adrenaline Rush would remove the GCD while active so I do not cap out on energy, but that will probably never happen)
What are your in-game goals?
I want to Raid and have fun while clearing all bosses in Normal and potentially some Heroic bosses before each patch. I don’t however want to grind away and heroic modes trying to finish 7/7 Heroic before each nerf. I like to have fun with friends and kill bosses but when it feels like a job and I have to convince myself to log on and grind my face against the wall, I have to step away for a bit.

Milkduds or Whoppers?
Sour-Patch Watermelon (Chocolate makes me sick, unfortunate I know…)

Pancakes or Waffles?
Pancake-Waffles, best of both worlds

Bacon?

As long as you understand with 25 man we have to rotate players in and out. (especially with quite a few melee currently in the guild)
If that is ok with you, just catch me or an officer in game for an invite.
