Character InformationArmory Link:http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/s ... ica/simpleExplain why you enjoy playing your class. How long have you been playing the class you are applying with and do you have any experience playing other classes/specs? Give two examples of specific situations in which you shine on your class.My history with wow is very long. I started as a druid, retired, then came back and forward for some years. I started to play seriously again a year ago. I saw the Death Knights idea and simply loved it. Healing and dpsing are two things that I love to do, and they combine to do some tanking? Genious. The DK's way of tanking is so different from the others tanks, a rollercoster of low/high health and cooldowns. You gotta love it.
I've noticed im pretty good when:
-Things are going wrong. Here is when DKs really shine. I have enough cooldowns to self sustain me for a somewhat long period, even on hard fights, while a healer gets brezed or things estabilize.
-Antimagic. Anti magic shield is easily my favorite spell. I love its versatility, and how it allows to remove stacks or prevent damage when other tanks cant do a thing. It really differentiates DK's from the rest.
Are you competent in playing other specs within your class? Do you have off spec gear?I believe in "Practice makes perfect" phylosophy. Im pretty good as an Unholy DPS. However, and being honest, I'm a little undergeared right now, since I was main tank in my former guild, and never foresaw that I had to leave in such a rush. Should it be required I will work on my gear.
What alts do you actively play, at least over level 80.As much as I love WOW I'm in my last semester in college, so having an alt will really take too much time, and my performance with my main would decrease. So right now, I do not.
Please provide a UI screenshot.Added file.
ExperienceProvide a link to a World of Log for cataclysm content. At the very least provide a damage meter for a dummy under the following conditions: 5 minutes long, any standard raid buffs you would like, and include the breakdown of your damage as well as the overall damage done. Do not skip over this.Again, I can post this if I'm absolutely required to. I pull around 13k sustained DPS. If this is an issue I will work to get the best gear I can manage and post the pic, however I'd really like to tank as much as possible.
PD: After reading some other applications, and seeing how much emphasis you mad on this question and the "do not skip" part I went and made the DPS test. Again this is with VERY SUB-OPTIMAL gear (two blues, one of them PVP and a tanking helm). However I was surprised to see that the DPS was a little higher than expected. The file is annexed. I had standard buffs (str food, kings, flask and drank a str pot).
What raiding guilds have you been a part of? Why did you leave? Well, this hits the spot. I was a member of Destruction until a week ago. It is not a really good guild, but i liked the people there and I spent most of my WOW life trying to help them progress. However recent problems with the guild leader, who was annoyed because I asked more progression and he could not heal a lvl 85 killing trash on Ashevale, caused me to got humiliated and because of it I left. My friends followed me (some even got gkicked just because the knew me) and here I am

Personal InformationTell us about yourself. What other games do you enjoy?Mi name is Alberto Rodriguez, I live in Venezuela. I'm a computer engineering student, and want to develop videogames. I enjoy a lot of games, my favorites being the Metal Gear saga and the Mass Effect one. I also play pen and paper role-playing games and pretty much every game that I can get my hands on.
Why do you enjoy raiding? What keeps you playing this game?There is accomplishment in this game. Its hard for people that have not played it yet to understand, but the joy of getting the "Defender of a Shattered World" title, of watching that boss that kept you on your PC for the last 3 hours go down, is something yet to be felt.
Immortality raids 4 days a week Monday through Thursday from 8pm-12pm EST. Does this work for you? How about when school starts?As always, there is real life, and the future is by definition unknown. However, my actual situation allows me to play on those days. If something (either punctual or permanent) changes I will try to inform it as soon as possible.
What do you believe you can contribute to Immortality? I am a serious raider, that loves to help others, and to progress. I like not to surrender, and I am a quick and solid learner.
Are you able to handle, at times, harsh constructive criticism?No pain, no gain.
What are your computer specs? Internet connection? Please post a link from http://www.speedtest.netI have an ASUS G50V.

What is the best way to contact you?Ingame, by pm. Also if any other Venezuelan is online, whispering him may help.
Tell us a joke!http://dan.hersam.com/uploads/mordor.gifExtraI am a member of the big group of Venezuelans doing a group application. I just finished a raid with some people from the guild, that (I think xD) can be consulted regarding my performance. We did Shannox and Beth.
