Guild and raid info
Previous guilds and your reason(s) for leaving them:

Most of the guilds are not particular notable and I struggle to remember the names of them before legion, primarily used to raid casually and pvp.

However legion onwards:
<Big Hard Boys> - Defias Brotherhood | Casual Raiding/Social guild - Raid leaded and pushed (and i mean PUSHED) the guild through EN 7/7 HC, I however as raid leader didn't have the power from the GM to cull the people who weren't pulling their weight from the raid.

A lot of the players stopped playing around the time Trial of Valor released so I ended up quitting WoW for awhile to focus on work/other games.

BFA:
I decided when I came back for BFA that I would look for mythic progression raiding guild, however after applying to a lot of the top guilds on my server I was running into the same problem.
Despite being capable, I didn't have the evidence to show that I could compete at the higher level due to lack of logs/previous experience.

<Relentless> - Defias Brotherhood | Casual Raiding/Social guild -
Joined primarily to raid heroic in order to get logs so I could move onto bigger and better things.
They're a lovely bunch of blokes but just no drive to push content.

How did you hear about Inner Sanctum?
I was looking for a high level mythic raiding guild to server transfer for, I know a few people on Silvermoon as well so I was scanning through Wowprogress.

Why Inner Sanctum and why should we accept YOU?
I want to push BFA content at its hardest and to do that I need to find a group of like minded players that are able to help achieve in that goal.

Researching Inner Sanctum; it has already proven time and time again that it is capable and able to push and clear the highest content when it is still relevant. This is ideally what I am looking for and I am hopeful that I can help achieve the guild in doing this.

Now why should you accept me? Firstly versatility, I work from home self employed and as such I can set my own hours as and when required, this enables me to put in extra hours and be flexible when pushing content/helping the guild.

But most importantly, I'm always looking for ways to improve as a player. Be this regularly simming new gear, keeping on top of patch notes to see changes to classes/azerite traits/talents that might let me improve my DPS or Tanking.
I also try to look at other top players for my class/specs to find out what they're doing differently and if it is effective, if they have popped cool downs at other parts of fights etc and has that been better than what I had planned?

I look up what is needed of me on each boss before I start the encounter for the first time, seeing how it is different than the previous difficulties, trying to understand not only what it is -I- need to be doing, but also what other people need to be doing so I can lend a hand if they are struggling/missing mechanics.

Lastly I'm not fragile, if the raid requires me to do something in order to get a kill then I'm willing to do it, If I have to run Orbs as DK(not advisable trust me) then I'll do it.

Do you know anyone from Inner Sanctum in-game or irl already? If yes, who and will they vouch for you?

I know/have known Rheyla one of your trial mages since Legion release. I've not asked him to vouch for me but I'm sure he would.

What do you expect from raiding in Inner Sanctum
I'm hoping to find a group of players that are similar in skill and desire to push the hardest content available whilst its still relevant and difficult. Hopefully together we can do this before everyone else for bragging rights.

Do you have a microphone and are you willing to use it during raids?
Yes, and a lovely singing voice for non progression raids

Can you attend all of our raid times listed in the rules? How often do you expect to miss a raid? (note we have an 80% attendance requirement and do track raider attendance). Be aware! In BfA We're returning back to 3 days a week.
As stated earlier in the application, I'm extremely flexible in the times/days that I raid. I shouldn't expect to miss any raids outside of Major holidays (Christmas/Newyears/Girlfriends birthday).

How much do you play outside of raiding times?
Not playing as much as I did on release due to having capped content now outside of Mythic raids.
I do however still tend to log in daily to do Mythic+ boosts and push keys(Affixes willing).

How would you describe yourself as a raider?
Flexible, Disciplined, Calm and Imaginative. (Quite good at figuring out new ways to deal with content/mechanics.)

What addons do you use to improve your raiding performance?
WeakAuras, DBM, Exorsus Raid Tools, Details.

Info about you and what you do when not playing WoW:
I am a professional online gambler (It isn't as glamorous as it sounds). If i'm not gaming/working then I'll be chilling out listening to music or watching shows/movies. I do also try to stay in reasonably good shape via running/gym.

I appreciate you taking the time to read what seems a very lengthy application.

Hello Bucker,

We don't think you'd be able to challenge our melee, which is why we will not offer you a trial. Good luck in your guild search.

Inner Sanctum officers

Hi Bagrom, I appreciate you taking the time to look. I will however mention all my parses are with 370/375 weps and so they are naturally going to be lower than Mythic raiders until I get to parity.

Regards

Tom
