Previous PvE Experience:
Played WoW casually until WoD. Tried heroic raiding, then started mythic in Legion, then obtained Cutting Edge in every tier (except Crucible of Storms) from G’huun until today.

History of Previous Guilds:
– The Forgotten Chapter, Defias Brotherhood (2018): first serious mythic guild.
– Bad Omen (2018 – today): first guild I joined that attains CE. I have been an officer here for 2 years, and Raid Leader for 6 months (all of Aberrus, + Raszageth). I’ve raided on this character, a Shadow/Holy priest (Vault – Sharuma), and a Shaman on all specs (BFA, all of Shadowlands), a BDK (Nyalotha).

Why did you leave them?:
I’ve been with my guild for over 5 years, and while I’ve enjoyed it a lot, I’m ready to pursue bigger challenges. I take raiding very seriously and I feel I have outgrown my team in terms of what I can learn. I feel it makes sense to play with like-minded players like yourselves.

How did you find out about Violent Circus?: Seeing members in major cities on Def. Brotherhood, and wowprogress.

Why do you think this guild is fit for you and what are your expectations from us?:
Firstly, I really respect how you guys value preparation in 2-day raid schedules. Secondly, as someone who has been in a strong/stable guild for many years, I appreciate how VC looks to have a tight knit community and would feel comfortable in such an environment (and a snazzy website). Thirdly, ever since I was a baby raider on Defias Brotherhood I remember passing by Violent Circus members and wanting to check it out someday, not only for your great rankings but also cause you were Alliance! (back before X-faction raiding). My expectations are to play in a guild with WRs similar to what you currently have, while maintaining a mature atmosphere in a 2-day raiding environment.

What can you bring to the team?:
Other than Mistweaver magic:

* Preparation: I’m a total nerd when it comes to preparing. I can spend hours watching videos, digging through logs, discussing stuff on RLE/class discords to know mythic encounters back to front. With my experience as an RL I know how to prepare and the importance of actually understanding encounters.
* Commitment: I’ve been in my guild for five years with good attendance, and when I join raid teams I’m in it for the long run. I stepped up to help the guild through the thick and the thin, and multiclassed/specced (I’ve played all four roles at a CE level) to make sure our roster was always healthy with the right classes.
* Persistence: I really excel in difficult progression fights, in the sense that I’m consistent and keep high spirits and don’t tilt when things get tough. You won’t see me dying to avoidable swirlies 200+ pulls into encounters.
* Attitude: I’m international and easy-going, but I’m serious about raiding, and use comms whenever necessary.

Availability(How often are you available, etc.):
I am available for Mondays/Thursdays 20.00, with near perfect attendance.

Anything else you would like to add?:
Thanks for reading!
As a quick FYI: I did 95% of our pulls on Zskarn but wasn’t there for the final kill due to vacation.
