Stupendously amazing applicant for a 9\/12 HM ICC 25 guild<\/a>.<\/p>\nCrap. The first one is gone from the armory so I can’t even chardev him. Suffice it to say, he had 350 haste, was wearing two pieces of T9, was using Glyph of Flash of Light, wasn’t using a Nightmare Tear (and not getting a socket bonus or anything by using a Dazzling Eye of Zul and a Luminous Ametrine), was using 8 stats instead of 10 to chest, was using 15 haste instead of 23 to cloak, was Honored with the Ashen Verdict, had a cloak with spirit on it from the vendor (I think I would have preferred the Drape of the Violet Tower in this situation…), had Icewalker to boots but no run speed talent, had no Improved Righteous Fury, only had 1\/2 Imp Lay on Hands…<\/p>\n
Anyways. You get the picture. Someone who was hideously undergeared for things like normal Sindragosa and normal Lich King.<\/p>\n
And then you have someone like Applicant #2, who not only obviously reads this blog, but also takes what I say to heart. 994 haste? That is almost three times the haste Applicant #1 had. My GM said, and I kid you not:<\/p>\n
“Wait. Hold the phone. Is it Christmas?”<\/p>\n
A warrior tank:<\/p>\n
“Another holy pally?\u00a0 And Madrana likes him?\u00a0 Christmas has indeed come early this year.”<\/p>\n
And a rogue in the guild who has a very decent holy paladin alt:<\/p>\n
“Excuse me, mister drug-induced hallucination, but I need to sober up now so you can go away, because you’re OBVIOUSLY much too good to be true… right?”<\/p>\n
