Specc & Glyphs: (http://talent.mmo-champion.com/) http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?mage#_c158wE7e2mw2,3-J-O,10747

Why that spec & glyphs?:
Glyph of Arcane Missiles - This is a standard choice for every PvE Arcane Mage and I also find it very useful.
Glyph of Arcane Barrage - I decided to take this one instead of Glyph of Molten Armor since my critical is already quite a bit above average
Glyph of Mana Gem - This is to secure I never go OOM, even if some heavy burst was needed in a encounter.

Mention if you have achieved any pve achievements in regarding to raiding (AKA. Undying, Twilight Vanquisher... whatever you might think will enhance your possibilities of joining Last Effort)
As I already stated above I did Undying and The Twilight Zone(10). I don't think anything else is worth mentioning.

You played other games on high level? add them aswell.
No, this is the only game I play.

Previous Guilds?:
I had a bad luck with guild disbanding. I was in in the start of WotLK and then everything slowly started to fall apart. I was it's GM later on, trying to revive it but failed.
After that I was in when Ulduar was launched and raided there until I had that break I mentioned before.
When I came back I joined and did ToGC with them until it was recently disbanded out of the sudden.
Since then I was trying to find a decent PvE guild but most of the decent ones are full on Mages. My gear could be better but I do not do PuGs. I enjoy raiding only when it's with a guild, especially when it's progressing.

About
Is there anyone you know in Last Effort who can recommend you?: No, there isn't.

Why do you want to join us?: I would like to progress with a decent and steady PvE guild once again. After my bad luck with guild disbanding I would really need a crew that I can enjoy ICC with in a calm and mature environment.

What can we expect to gain from you in our PvE-progress?: Since I mainly play this game fro progress raids you can always expect me to be ready with all the information that a player can get about the encounters we are trying to beat. Also if needed I will always be willing to help with arranging new tactics. Of course I am patient and can wipe for as long as it's needed.

Why should we want you? Explain to us why you believe you are the one we want!:
Well, if you are looking for a patient raider with lots of experience who's always trying to improve his play and willing to progress I am the one you're looking for.
But talking about it not worth much. I would rather show you.

Computer specification:

Internet Connection: 6 MB ADSL
Do you have problems with your connection/computer? None, works just fine.

Knowledge and theorycraft
Do you read theory about your class? Of course all the time, even tho I play this Mage for almost 4 years.
How do you keep yourself up to date? Mostly with MMO-Champions and Arena Junkies.

PTR without any fuzz and whine?: Of course, and I expect the same from others.

Do you speak on ventrilo?: I do.

Are you willing to discuss you application on ventrilo?: Yes, I find that kind of interviewing much better.

Willing to bring pots and flasks to every raid?: That goes without saying.

Will you wipe on progress bosses without whining?:

That's just a part of raiding no one can just skip it, so yeah, of course I won't whine.

I know is seems too simple but that's just the way I play. I doesn't make me respond any slower. I managed to do 2.1k rating with this kind of UI. Few macros, keybinds is all I need.

Do you use any macros?: I do even tho not that many of them.

Why and when (explain): I use it mostly to speed things up of course. I also binded them. I have two main marcos. One for popping all of my CDs ( Arcane Power, Icy Veins, Mirror Image, use of a trinket) when burst damage is needed in a encounter and the second one if for mana (Mana Gem, Arcane Torrent).

Additional information:
I would just like to add one little thing about my gear. Please do not rate it only by my spellpower. Yeah I can have 3k+ if I put on my SP trinkets but like this my DPS is much better as well as my burst. My critial, haste and trinkets abillities are much better then some spellpower I could get with putting on my SP trinkets.
Thank you for reviewing my application. Hope to hear from you soon with a positive reaction.

Be online tomorrow at 19:00 for a trial run in ICC 25

Will do. Thanks for the chance.

It would be nice to know if I'll get another trial spot in a raid since I wasn't invited on Thursday? Or am I declined?

We have 3 mages on trial atm. Undoubtedly 1 or 2 will not pass trial so I advise you to reapply on the new forums and be patient until we know what we want with our current mages.

Also, your app isn't bad but it's not amazing.. Good moment to make it amazing
