Do you have a stable internet connection: I would say yes, As far as I can tell my internet isn’t the greatest but it does the job. Average MS on WoW is around 200ms -300ms. Vent is around 70-80 Ping.
Armoury:http://armory.wow-europe.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Ghostlands&n=VenomancerHow soon after release are you aiming to be level 80 and how are you going to achieve this? (I.E. booked a week off work, cleared your evening commitments for 2 weeks, out of work) This for me would be the hardest question to answer. Due to the fact that each time I level I get better at it. Also Attending College during the day means that I only have the opportunity to level at nights and weekends meaning I lose a significant amount of time, BUT I will be taking a few days off college to help kick-start my levelling. As a guess I would 1-2 months, which I know is a long time but if I can go any faster I will try to.
What other characters will you level to 80? Well as said main priority will be Venomancer.

General questionsPrevious guilds and reasons for leaving? Remember this can be checked
well as some of you know I am an ex-HarBringer, After Harbs was closed I then moved into Legion of Doom where I raided Kara for a while. I then decided that Kara was not enough and that I needed to progress, I moved to Wortex where I started my 25man raiding. Shortly after joining Wortex I was made officer. After a while the guild leader quit wow after he had family issues to sort out, Leadership was then given to second in command (Co-Guild Master) who also due to RL issues had to stop playing WoW, she decided that a guild disband was better than passing on leadership again and so I was guildless. Kixar then made follow the leader which I joined and started raiding in. We again where raiding Gruul and Maggy. After a while the guild morale dropped and issues started occurring. The guild was disbanded and I was yet again guildless. I then applied to Frequency who were kind enough to take me in, I raided happily with them and felt that it was a good fit for me. The guild was disbanded for reason which I don’t understand myself, but had no choice in which lead me to being again guildless. I then applied to Fraternite (who at the time had lost their Ventrilo server so I gave them mine, they started complaining that it was to small so I bought a 2nd bigger one for them.) and was accepted there who I raided with for a while but I never did fit in as well as I had hoped. After a little while a few friends joined the guild and started raiding with us. I left Frat after a few of them had “incidents” within the guild, and I chose my friends over progression.
What role do you feel you provide in a raid and what areas of strengths do you feel your class and spec has over others? “The Hunter class performs pulling, threat redirection, crowd control, and primarily ranged damage”
“A Hunter's primary responsibility in nearly all raid encounters is to sustainably do high DPS”
Taken from wowwiki.com
As a hunter my role in a raid is to provide sustained damage. Unlike other classes which will huge amounts of damage in short amounts of time, hunter will keep a steady DPS/Damage rate throughout an encounter. Hunter can also be used in raids for effective threat redirection pulls, such as multiple trash mob pulls, certain boss pulls or for fun such as pr00st kills.
In WotLK; what changes will you make to your spec and how do you feel the talent changes in WotLK will affect you most? Talent build:http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/hunter/talents.html?tal=512002015250122331025310510050040000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Info: (52/9/0) this would be the spec I have made for WOTLK, I don’t quite know how effective it is as I haven’t tested it out yet, however I think it covers all the basics of a viable raid spec.
Name 1 thing you feel has been changed negatively regarding your class in the expansion? (If you can't then say why you can't) AoV – I still haven’t been able to decide whether the sacrifice in damage dealt while in AoV is worth the extreme mana gain. Yes, you would gain mana really fast on the downside your damage goes down. I still wonder if shorter regen but less damage is better than a longer regen but 100% during it (except for AoH). This is my question only way to tell for sure is waiting for WOTLK to see.
New Steady Shot with no clipping – This annoys me, it wasn’t like finding a hunters macro on the net was hard, but now it’s a bit too easy. Also after reading up applications (your forums I think it was), I found a hunter posted that using the new SS with no clipping still does and that the macro was infact better. I tried it on Dr. Boom and I had the same result.
What do you think you can add to Eternals? Well I am a no-life huntard, who’s always here should the guild need me, success comes from hard work and there for requires ALOT of patience, I like to think I am a patient person to. Should the guild need me to help farm mats or relinquish my spot for a raid to sum1 who needs it more, I would be more than happy to.
What do you think Eternals can do for you? Eternals has proven to a stable guild who have established a good raiding routine, I would like to join as I feel your guild could offer me the chance to see higher content as well as having a very strong social aspect as well.
Personal information Name, age, where you live, interests/hobbies, Job and family that will nag you to stop raiding? Name: Jonty/Jonathan
Age: 17(18 in Jan)
Resides: Woking, England.
Hobbies: My hobbies include playing pool, going to see friends, driving (Yes for me it’s more fun than a chore, guess that’s an age thing) and most IT related things.
Additional information which you would like to name? I don’t have exams at college so I shouldn’t need to take time off to study meaning my attendance should usually be above 90%.
