General questions

From which guilds have you been a member and whats the you are leaving them or left them?
I do not remember the first one I've been in.
So..
->Crusaders Of Light where i took my first steps into Kara
->Sentinels Of Light for about 2 weeks
->KEK where i've accomplished all the bosses mentioned above.

Why did you choose too become the class you are currently playing with?
Its a hard question. On every game i played - always loved the ranged classes/units. It doesnt matter if it was a strategy or an RPG. Played as a Sorc/Necro in Diablo.
Besides- I loved the elf rangers in WCIII, and Tyrande's starfall(thought i'd had something like this when i created my char, i remember).

What are the biggest advantages you have within this class and what is your role in a raid? Specify this to your specc.

Within the class i should(will explain the underlined texts on the bottom of the app) provide excellent damage output, less or more to be in the top 5 of the charts in 25-man. My role in the raid is to provide ranged damage at a high rate of fire/ provide my Trueshot Aura bonus to the classes who need it - other hunters, fury warriors, enh shamans.

Any other stats which are needed in your class. This is also to test your knowledge about your class so make a good choice. (Posting all stats won’t do the thrick or referring too armory).

Hit Rating - I had really long conversations with other hunters and i have read much about the hit rating and capping it. My personal opinion on the topic is that sacrificing a bit HR for CR/AP, i.e. providing steady dmg output/high critical strikes could compensate couple of missed shots.

What do you think you can add to Eternals?
Trueshot aura, seeing that you have only one marksman, who logged out in his PvP gear i think.
Some lame jokes - King hates them and the others doesnt understand my Balkanian sense of humour(realised that not long ago)
Experience in my spec(such a cliche), real interest in the boss encounters themselves.

What do you think Eternals can do for you?
Grant me the possibility to see BT and MH cleared with my humble DPS added to the raid damage charts and maybe let me be with you to enter WoTLK together.

Some Real life info. Country, RL age, Name, Work, Interest?
My name is Stanislav, i live in Sofia, Bulgaria. 19 years old. Currently a student in the University Of Sofia. I am not working yet. Apart from playing WoW - i love to spend the nights(even after raids) driving my BMW E46 M3, hang out in discos with my friends and spend time with my girlfriend.

Additional information which you would like too name?
Maybe some info on my lack of gear. I have made a big break from WoW for 6 months in the beginning of this year. Which explains most of it. I took my time with the first kills of the bosses in the instances with KEK and a bit more grinding. After that i felt somehow bored of the game and stopped playing up until patch 2.4. So all in all - i have made many attempts on the bosses, downed them few times but had a little chance gearing up. I think i've got the maximum out of my current gear, and even though it does not exactly fit your T5/Badge requirements(the chestpiece, the melee 2h(I am not at all good in the arenas :/ ), the bow and the left-overs of my T4)(you've lost it, haven't you?)...as i was saying: ...and even though it does not exactly fit your T5/Badge requirements i think with couple of raids/badges(currently collecting for the chest piece, half way there) i can catch up with the game itself and your hunter core. That is the explanation of the underlined "should" in the class info.

That is all. Thank you for taking your time to read my application. And even though i don't have high hopes of getting accepted(due to the undergeared stuff) - hope that i can be a part of your guild.

Hunters use a 2 roll system when determining the results of a shot, this means the lower your chance to hit, the lower your final chance to crit will be. In essence it makes hit rating the highest dps stat untill capped, and should always be top prio if not capped. Ofc having spare gear to switch around if you get a draenei in yer gruoup or a balance druid in the raid.

We dont actually raid with any marksman hunters, simply because its not really that good a spec. The MM hunter will be specced like that for arena. Trueshot aura just dosent scale in comparison to ferocious inspiration or expose weakness, and so becomes too little later on. Also your spec isnt the most finetuned for pve, silencing shot for example, isnt needed, a 20/41/0 would be a better option imo. If you want to be a pure dps class, then 41/20/0 BM would be the best shot.


It was a great application and a pleasure to read, but we currently have enough hunters in my mind, 1 of which is undergeared and a second thats horrendously undergeared so I dont think we'd be able to take on another. The final say isnt mine, but I dont think we'll be able to accept you at your gear level. Thanks and good luck.

I support Ronans decision. Sorry and GL looking for a guild you feel at home in.

Points well taken. Thank you for your time.
