Character name: Greenforce and Xplore (EU Thunderhorn)
Character class: Warlock and Priest respectively
Professions: Tailoring/Mining on Greenforce; Enchanting on Xplore, currently leveling JC as a second profession
Talent specs, gear level, Armory link (advanced mode): Greenforce is an ilvl 516 Destruction Warlock, Xplore - low ilvl (~505) discipline priest, my alt.
;
Respeccing: I am familiar with all warlock specialisations; in fact, I prefer both affliction and demonology to destruction. My current secondary spec is set up for the warlock green fire quest. As for the priest, I am trying out atonement healing in LFR at the moment, but I have experience healing on both holy and discipline; I consider shadow to be a sick joke and have never played it seriously aside from questing and dailies. Aside from that, I am willing to play any spec or build the guild may need and, in fact, find raid healing more fun than dps
Class Info:
- I like warlock because it is, and has always been, the best class in World of Warcraft - with all the variety of fun class perks, quests, best looking gear and, of course, survivability and pve damage and utility. I have mained the class since I stopped playing my old EU Molten Core account.
- As for the priest - I like both healing specs, versatility and different healing styles they offer. One of my old WoW friends has played superb priest and taught me a lot of things about it, which was originally the reason why I rolled a priest as an alt.
- Regarding stat priorities and rotations for lock: int > hit cap > haste > mast > crit; CoE > Imo > Conflagrate > Incinirate/CB @ 4 embers w/ dark soul and procs OR Shadowburn + Doomguard @ 20-30%; fel flame on the move; for aoe - RoF> F&B + normal rotation @ 4 embers
- Regarding priest: I am not yet 100% familiar with current disc meta. I am trying out using atonement as filler for now, but I am not sure how efficient it is in non-LFR setting
- Anyone can look these things up in a guide
Raid experience:
- I have casually raided the absolute majority of WoW 10 man content when it was relevant. Ironically, however, due to reasons, guild dramas, busy lifestyle etc, there is hardly a single proper post-classic raid which I have actually finished 100%.
- High point of my raiding life are probably raiding Ulduar 10 Normal on lock (including Algalon tries on my priest - which is easily my favourite encounter in the game and the memory I am most fond of), with the majority of bosses killed. The majority of ICC 10 normal and some of it heroic. The majority of Firelands and 4.0/4.3 content 10 man normal on both priest and lock. Overall, I am experienced with raids despite having such a hectic raiding pattern. At least I hope so.
Guild history: I have returned to WoW after a 2 year long break. Before, I used to play on EU Blade's Edge and before that - had another account on EU Molten Core, where I raided a lot of classic/BC content as a fire mage. All guilds in which I have been are probably either dead, abandoned or moved servers.
When can you play: - Weekends, most weekdays. Generally, if I am invited to raid I will attend regardless of the day and time
- I feel it necessary to include a small disclaimer. I will always prioritise real life events, meetings, issues etc which are reasonably important over WoW, subject to rare exceptions. However, I always try to plan my schedule in advance and if for some reason I am unable to attend an in-game event I will take all necessary steps to inform the guild of this, unless it is an emergency. I hope for your understanding regarding this matter.
Age: 21
Where are you from: I am Ukrainian, but I live and study in London, England. I am moving back to Ukraine for the summer. There has been a lot of stuff going on there and I have come back there personally during the winter events to support my family and aid the uprising as much as I could.
About you: My name is Alex, I am from Kiev, Ukraine. I have just completed my Bachelor of Laws degree at King's College London, UK, and I am currently in a limbo, of sorts, waiting for my exam results. I have a wide range of interests: I am currently learning drumming and I am a huge audiophile - although my tastes are rather esoteric. I've played tennis since I was 5 and love skiing. I am a sucker for classic tabletop games, like mah-jong or chess. As for video games, my current favourites are Quake Live and Anno 1404, but I play a variety of genres. My all time favourite is Hitman: Blood Money. I hate having fun and will oppose it at all costs. I am also rather wordy. It all comes with a law degree. Sorry.
Why do you want to join and what do you expect from the guild: Raids and dungeons are the main reason why I've always like WoW. I am really upset with some changes blizz has, and is about to implement in WoD, but I still want to try out Pandaria raids at some respectable difficulty before the next expansion - LFR doesn't quite cut it and is an atrocity against WoW and its community. I understand that my gear is sub-par. That's why I want to play flexi raids and maybe, when I gear up, I can be allowed into a proper raiding group. At the same time, I am doing my best to gear my chars up as much as it is possible in the circumstances.
UI and keybinds:
- I have always used the default UI on my lock, with some basic add-ons like recount and DBM. I find it decent, if you don't panic and can reach 9 and 0 with your fingers (I know I can...)
- On my priest, I have always used XPerl frames, though for now I find default UI adequate, with some adjustments.
- I will swap to other addons or bindings without a second though if it is actually needed and improves my efficiency in raids
Anything else: I have resubbed along with a friend of mine - who is aspiring to become a raid tank on his DK, named Sanic (EU Thunderhorn). If my application is accepted, I will appreciate if at some point you may consider him as a candidate as well. He's a good guy, albeit slightly inexperienced with tanking, but he is willing to learn and also played WoW for a long time.
That concludes my application. Thank you very much for considering my request and please, do not hesitate to contact me in-game or in any other way if you have any questions. All the best!
