large pvp community

Why does Rated Guild want you over another:I have a good understanding of all
other classes key abilities.
What separates you from others that play your class: I play tactically, I am
constantly watching what is happening on the screen to identify what exactly needs
to happen for the best outcome. using hand spells, extremely quick cleanses on
other dispelling classes, freedoms on melees, bops on healer/casters, early
sacrifices, utilization of CCs in an offensive and defensive manner(peels), use of
LOS, identifying most viable kill targets, and just in general being able to read
when to play offensive or step back and play defensive to outlast.
What separates you from others that play your spec: I am very good at identifying
when to pop cooldowns to get the killing blow, whether its using my utilities for
others to get the killing blow, or to get the kb myself.
What can you bring to the table: outstanding damage on ret side, and solid heals
on the holy side

Time in guild: 6 months between carrion swarm and MvPs, as MvPs was a seceded

Do you know anyone in Rated: Yes How: Ran a 3s team with Franz with a fail Frost
dk which we decided to disband as the new week was approaching and we needed to
get a higher cap for the following week and i could not find another viable
dk/rogue/war for the ret/disc/x comp
----------------------------------------
PVE
PVE Experience: WotLK, I'm not a big fan of pve, i pretty much do the tol barad
raid and thats it. After getting a bit better at pvp i just started to see pve as
memorizing some stupid scripts, which is nowhere near as fun or as satisfying as
pvp.
How long you been PVE player: first year i was playing wow
Spec you pve with: IE not spec you like, Witch are you best at: Holy Paladin, im a
really good healer, capitalizing on opportunities for mana regen abilities and
whatnot.
Willing to change specs on request: Absolutely
Hours you can attend events:0800 pm to 0130 am
Others things you think we should know: I'm a constructive player, if something
bad happens in a game I wont bitch and moan about it or point fingers; I take
ownership of my actions, reflect on them and decide what I can do better the next
time I am in a similar situation. If i am unfortunately playing with shitties, I
try to help rather than harass, and offer any helpful knowledge i have that others
may not.
Who do you know in Rated: Franz, Frozowned, Christwalka, Saraia
Tell us a little about who you are: I am in the US Army as a "True Blue" Expert
Parachute Infantryman with two combat tours to Iraq with several awards for combat
actions, recently forced into recruiting duty so I have to talk to a bunch of
stupid high school kids. Its mostly a desk job so I consistently spend a solid
couple hours of my work day reading pvp forums and guides on skill-capped.com. I
dont have to worry about deployments for the next few years, and being that its a
9-5 job i have plenty of free time to get better as a player. I'm married and I
have a badass 17 month old daughter.
