PVP Mage Application

You name: Shaun

Class: Mage

What does Juke mean: Juking is casting a spell that you do not care about so the real one will not be interrupted. For example Flamestrike - as I am a Frost mage. Then their Counterspell for example will go on CD and then I'll cast the real spell. I can strafe to break the spell as well and make them think I am casting something I don't really intend to.

Do you Juke: Yes.

You will be required to prove this to us, Ok with that: Yes

How Many years you been playing that Class: 3 Years

Why does Rated Guild want you over another: Because I'm a mature player who understands that nothing can be accomplished without teamwork.

What separates you from others that play your class: Firstly, I'm probably more mature and decently geared. I have been playing for quite some time and also devoted and loyal to a group.

What separates you from others that play your spec: I'm good at what I do. Counterspell, Silence, Ice Lance, etc.

What can you bring to the table: A good PVP Mage with great ambitions. I expect fair treatment from other guildies as I will do the same. Looking for a tight mature group. Tired of kiddie games.

You seem like a cool guy. Here are some of the issues you have with your character and application.

You need to provide a proper link to your armory. It is frustrating and annoying when we need to do it ourself. Here it is so you can edit your original post before anyone else see it without a link:

You need to properly enchant your gear.

What does Juke mean: To run around a stump and avoid LOS.

This is not what "juke" means. Line of sighting a spell is competely different. Please provide a proper describtion of juking.

The amount of keybinds seems low. You really do not want to click anything, even including things like Arcane Brillance. The buff will get purged often in PvP and will need to be reapplied fast to cover other more important buffs.

This is kind of low for a guild that focuses on PvP with other strong players.

Can you also provide a screenshot of your user interface while PvPing in arena. This will help us confirm the use of key mechanics for high level play.

Can you please explain some of the tactics mages use to get control over fights? This is a mages greatest asset to a team.

Edited. Will post screen shot shortly. But I do have Gladius... pretty much the only thing I use along with a Sheep/focus macro and DPS meter.
