Server (Past and present.): Originally from Fernir 2002-2004. Lost charecter and took a year off.
2005 I returned and made a new character on Odin
In 2006 I transferred back to Fernir because there was still active players whom I knew.

Previous Linkshells:
*Halls of Chaos: back when I was a noob.

*Blazing highlights: I created & lead a large group threw Limbus,Sea,Sky,Dyna,ZNM, VW,Provenance, Meebles, Abysea/emp making. Relic upgrades & NNI, (broke it after 3years of headaches)

*Death seekers: daily ADL shell I ran with for over a year. Also co-lead and lead when Leader was not online. (LS broke)

*Stratagems: Co-lead and recruit. Use to be daily ADL shell, now is WoE,NNI,Salvage, Abysea, Meebles still currently with them

Playtimes (It's assumed you can make at least 50% of our runs.):
I am available to play around 6pm to 10pm est. on weekdays give or take.
Friday nite I am available to play late nite
Saturday I have off so I am available all day & nite
Sunday I have off and available all day

Crafts (Skill and relevant GP items.):
94goldsmithing w/ apron, 50k GP towards specs
50synergy
(Taking break on crafts but will continue to finish main/subs)

Jobs (Jobs you play and their level. It's assumed you have all relevant sub jobs leveled.):
Mnk 5/5 FS, (not delve ready but can be)
War
Bst
Dnc
Nin
Rdm well geared & cap skills
Smn well geared 400skill (no Alex) but available to attain
Blm well geared, FC stun set,
Thf cap TH + feint
Drk very well geared, not much delve gear but high ACC no issues on T1-T5 NMs. (Still not delve ready, but plan to be)

Sam don't play it much but have gear capable of suiting it up and making it delve optional
Blu very well geared, 498blue magic skill (need antica ring to break 500)

32/50 Kukulkan fangs, 20/50 Sedna tusks (Hvergelmir)

Do you believe your above jobs readily geared for Delve and any other relevent SoA content?
Most of my jobs are elite geared pre-SoA.
As of current standing most are not delve ready. They can be if needed and aventualy I will upgrade them regardless of the need to or not.
I do not have much delve due to the lacking skill on my server, I avoid SoA all together. Reason being: I do not find SAC farming to be a productive way to play the game. Killing trash mobs wile the pld de lvs his job in shame & DDs boast about there 8k Shoha in a weak lizard, all for a meesley 5-8k is a waist of time.
People do not attempt to learn or peruse a victory of any NMs. Therefore I stay away from this as it is far from enjoyable and completely pointless IMO, until I see /sh to attempt Nms or join a Ls, I do not plan to do fracture.

Do you believe your above jobs readily geared for Delve and any other relevent SoA content?
I have Skype, I can have vent, (I have iPad )

Why do you wish to join Reborn?
I wish to join for many reasons, mainly I am seeking higher caliber players to join and accomplish content that I haven't had the chance to do. Such as delve, legion, Odin V2. And future add ons. I wish to be the best & with the best, to defeat the top tier content without /sh or struggling to find skilled dependable members.

Is there anyone you're already familiar with in Reborn?
I do recognize some of your members, Bigoyro and Demon where both from Feni, I am familiar with demon, we have known each other quite some time.

Gear sets YES WE WANT TO SEE THESE (It's assumed you have all relevant gear sets for your jobs, including PDT/MDT. Post SpellCast XMLs or link FFXIAH item sets.):
http://www.ffxiah.com/node/80

If there's any other information you may think is relevant, please feel free to let us know.

I have lead/joined runs for the above but had no success on victory. I would love the opportunity and enjoy playing with a organized LS that has strategy and team work.
My server is lacking in the skill area. As I myself have lead many many runs to only get a headache and disappointment, /sh for to long, getting under skilled players, explaining myself 5x and still having people make simple mistakes that cost the run or create disaster. then leading to a fail, in wich gives me a bad name as a leader due to the fail run that was under my leadership. I have completely stopped leading runs on Fenrir and only have been doin Abysea farm for my ochain solo because the under skilled players who leach in plasm farms posing as a "veteran"

I have been seeking a server jump, but with no where to land I have stayed put here only to keep looking for new grounds. I am we'll known, very confidant on my jobs, knoladgable and understanding, I'm a long time veteran player, good leader and member. I have done my homework on all Morimor NMs + Tojil. I understand the strats & know all there dangers. What to & not to do.
And i intend to study all other NMs for a Better understanding of what I have ahead of me!

I look forward to hearing back and hopefully being accepted into your team. Thank you for reading my application!

What up, Itchi. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for those additional sets. We were looking at asking you to provide these as well, but you beat me to it. Also, I'm going to comment on everything in this one post.

Our events start at 9:00PM EST and end at around 12:00AM EST, sometimes going on to 1:00AM. With you saying your general weekday playtimes are 6:00PM to 10:00PM, this could prove to be a problem. At the moment, our attendance policy is a bit lenient. We require 50% attendance to all events. Will this be a problem?

At the moment, we are looking at your SCH and RDM and possibly PLD (as a backup in case we need it once you get Ochain). Though…I see no RDM sets.

MNK
I'm gonna be completely blunt. We have a lot of very well geared DD's with top end sets that just cannot be beat. The probability of you playing MNK or WAR would be on the back-burner until your sets are improved. A few things I gotta comment on in MNK. There are multiple situations in which you will absolutely need a full accuracy set. This means hitting 600-650acc without songs/rolls/etc. This is essential to success in our Delve runs. In your MNK TP set, I see half of what is needed, but I also see some lacking parts. For instance, Ziel charm, usu+1, mars's. I'm assuming you don't have the Rigor hands as you've been staying away from SOA. Any other weapon, to be completely honest, is absolutely trash and you will struggle to keep up. I don't see PDT/MDT sets. These are extremely vital to our success as a team. You must know when to swap to these, when to swap to hybrid, when to swap to full dps, etc. You will also need WS ACC sets so you don't miss consistently. I won't go into full detail of every aspect of armor you chose, but I will refer you to the DPS spreadsheets that are out there. They help immensely. DPS

SCH
I'm not too keen on SCH, but there are some obvious improvements that can be made. For instance, why do you use APJ1 instead of APJ2 staff for stunning? You need all the magic accuracy you can get while still capping your recast time. In your enhancing set, I think you are missing ~8 skill to cap out at 500, though I may be incorrect. Also, I do not understand the need for an MP set. Actually, this is probably the first time I've seen an HMP set in today's world. I don't see your cure potency set. Again, I'm not too keen on SCH, but those are the things I see just from roughly looking at your sets.

NIN + BLM + BLU
I'm not going to particularly look at these sets because we don't use these. Though this does tell me you are relatively thorough in maximizing your potential output, and I like that.

DRK
Ok, I can work with this. Again, I don't see full PDT/MDT builds. Your sets seem all right, except I don't understand why you use Enif body. Without Armadaberk, you cannot maximize your potential. Again, refer to the DPS spreadsheets above. I don't understand the Claymore grip, and I don't understand the Phorcys hands. I'm assuming you are going for a DA/TA/QA build. If that's so, why would you not use a pole grip?

PLD
We have multiple Burtgang/Aegis/Ochain PLD. All right, moving on. What is "PLD PD"? What is an Archon Cape? Why in your cure% set do you have Enmity+5 cape while in your enmity build you have Enmity+4 cape? In your cure % set, would you not stack more enmity for cure cheating and keep up the rest of your gear as pdt? Why in the bloody hell are you using Griffon Ring? It's not even tested completely because it is absolutely useless. What if it is 1%? That 1/100 time you don't get crit could be far surpassed by putting on a Dark Ring. I know you don't have an Ochain, but when you do get one, would you still use the Adamas in your cure% set? I hope not, because you'd die.

From a native Fenrir to another…you cannot trust what the Fenririans say is the best set. It most likely is completely off the charts wrong. Except maybe a handful of people in Mathematical that know what they are talking about in most situations. We aim at being a top-tier linkshell and we succeed at doing so. With that being said, all of us individually are top-tier as well. We strive to be the best that we can be.

We are still looking at your application, and it may take another day to come to a consensus. I will let you know. In the mean time, take it easy, and tell Lucky I said Hi please :) .

Can make a rdm set if you desire, most sets i made last night & today as i didn't have them or many sets made at that. So for the most part they where quickly thrown together. I know there is a lot of improvement needed that i can change without a issue.

As for mnk & drk DT/hybrid/Acc sets, i did not post/ make them since i have pld nin & blu DT sets that are all shared with the obvious jobs & of course are used on all my jobs (i do not play a job w/o having survivability & efficiency. Again if desired i can make them, most upgrades are simple that i need. Things like sch staff for stun (i do not have) since dont play the job but am able to make one of course.

The Mp set is used for rdm sch blm, i understand under the circumstances the set would be useless since there would be no time to rest & if your having mp issues you need improvement & more efficiency. The set is mainly for other content where we would not have cor/brd/geo buffs & resting is available to the support but time is limited.

As for drk i never made a armada, have abj but never spent the gil for a -1.
The brave grip has its uses for AM but i stopped using rag and mostly ride apoc anyway.

Pld i never use Adamas, only way i would swop into that was if i had 0tp and a chance to conserve mp for a greater cure. (In reality never) as for sanus enis if I'm super tanking i would use it only for the mages & my own benefit. Enmity set hasn't been used in a long time & is not up to date nor do i have the invin to even carry everything at once.
As for archon cape would use that or shadow cape for the occ proc, as my PD is close to cap i believe an extra 5% from moluscus mantle isn't going to make or break the set. As for griffon ring i no i no useless but it adds to my merrits & i haven't done any content yet that demands the improvements i desire.
Honestly i don't get much use from the enmity or cure % sets or at least haven't yet.

Any of my sets can and could be easily improved with advice and my own knowledge.
I can set up rdm but its been a wile so re organizing macros to up to date priorities & building current enfeebling sets wouldn't be a issue to dig up from my mules.
I do not plan to bring any of my DDs to delve as they are not ready and i know those jobs are a dime a dozen. Eventually i plan to upgrade them for the option to have them but currently i do not intend to as i have bairly done much SoA and would not embaress myself or be subject to lacking my output & have others pull my weight

Time would be the only issue as i work fulltime & am on call as it is summer i am extremely busy. Playing past midnight would be a problem for me & understand if that is a problem for the Ls,
Take the time you need to look over my app, i appreciate any advice & comments and do not take offense of any, i am always improvements & any advice is appreciated. Any improvements that i require or is needed i can & will do. I have most all VW & meeble gear, AF3 & relic etc. so i can put together sets & if i do not have it, it is Easly obtainable.

Please excuse any misspells or punctuation-errors as i am on iphone, a bit laggy with a post this long & auto predict keeps irritating me lol. Any other questions or advice you would like to give i will take into consideration and do what i can to benefit the LS to be optimal & efficient.
Thanks for the reply and look over of my app.

When i get home from work today i will digg up all my rdm gear and sort it out, see what i have & need then create sets of what i have, i will leave items blank if i don't have them, and if i need them upgraded i will do so and replace them with them with the next best solution until then. From my general knowledge optimal indemand sets for rdm currently are
Enhancing
Enfeebling

Any additional sets would be already carried over from other sets i have and of course accounted for such as FC, Stun, Macc, refresh, cure & DT

In response to sch sets posted, scholar's most important job is stun accuracy, not just in gear but having a player that doesn't miss stuns in a rotation with another sch. Improvements needed for this set are the Apajamas II, Orvail Pants, Mephitis Grip, Pansee Earring or Belatz Pearl in legion and Erlene's Manteel offers more Macc but same Fast Cast as Anhur Robe. Apajamas II being the biggest focus.

Sch Enhancing doesn't really need to be capped at 500 skill anymore, we use it for its regen mostly and bonus to haste which is generally already capped with SV marches, haste and everyone's gear sets. That being said, depending on the augment on his staff only piece he is missing are the Rubeus Boots.

Cure set was updated, and I assume BLM refresh is same for sch. You should post a pdt/mdt set for your mage jobs as well, even as a backline job damage sometimes comes your way and you need to be able to take some without dying immediatey. Dead sch means extremely slow stuns.
I would get rid of most of that HMP set and carry only pieces used in other sets or for Conserve MP, your refresh gear is considered 3HMP per tick of refresh so unless you carry something significantly more effective than that you are wasting inventory space.

Also not noted are Relic +2 Augments, pants for +30 sec Tabula Rasa and unlimited strats time, feet for Stormsurge also has its uses since you use the feet for Fast Cast sets anyway.

Thats all for now I gtg to the bank and store :/

Rdm sets: I am aware that they are missing a few things, its very late for me (just got home from work) I couldn't think of what I am missing.

Enhancing: head I couldn't think of anything nor do I have a peace to fill that slot, I know I could use augment earring, but quite the priced or such a little upgrade that won't make a significant difference. And for ammo I belive there is a option I am forgetting, but I do not have it nor can think of it.

Enfeebling: is pretty well set only missing a Ammo slot for Macc or could fill with Int. and could swop a soulring for Macc.

As for FC,Stun,Refresh,Cure, sets they would be generally shared with sch & blm with minor changes of course.
See below for reference so you don't have to scan threw all the above sets again.
