Application!

Recommended Posts

-Disclaimer: I have looked at your Classes Open for Recruitment thread, and I saw your Shaman class applications are closed. Furthermore, I've spoken to Matti and been told you have an Enhancement Shaman already. In spite of all this, I am applying under the Exceptional Applications (or is that Exceptional Applicants? ;) ) Clause, with hopes you will consider me! Enjoy.

 

-Character name: Geckjin

 

-Class: Shaman

 

-Level (must be 70): Hmm. This is a really tough one! I hope I get this one right... Ooh, I know! 70! :D

 

-Talents: Currently 40/0/21, a run-of-the-mill PvP Elemental spec. However, what I offer myself as is a 2/45/14 (or 3/44/14) Enhancement Shaman, although I can also join you as an Elemental Shaman in an appropriate PvE Elemental spec should that be how you want me.

 

-Are you willing to respec if needed?:

Short answer - Yes, should the raid require it.

(Long answer - I am experienced and perform well as both Elemental and Enhancement, although admitedly my Elemental gear is fully PvP oriented and thus not entirely suited for PvE (lack of spell hit rating). I can mitigate this with talents, but not fully. My Restoration gear is rather subpar, and my skills at that spec merely mediocre – I don't enjoy it, due to being forced into it pre-TBC.)

 

-Professions: Skinner/Herbalist. Money-machine. All secondary skills also maximized (yes, even Fishing).

 

-Link to Armory profile: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xm...e&n=Geckjin

Being that I'm in a PvP spec at the moment, the Armory is likely to show me in my PvP gear, which I do not think is what you want to see. Here is a compact version of relevant statistics in an Enhancement spec:

1446 Attack Power

19.41% hit chance

29.11% melee crit chance

I am perfectly willing to link my gear in the Enhancement spec item by item or see if I can log out in it for your convenience, if needed.

 

-Timezone: GMT+1 (Also known as Server Time!)

-Location: Belgrade, Serbia

-Age: 21

 

-Can you raid at least 2 out of 3 raids every week? (raids are on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 19.30 until 23.30 servertime)

Short answer - Yes.

(Long answer – I can raid each Friday and Sunday without fail. When I cannot (an emergency, for example), I am happy to post such on the forums or othervise notify the guild that I will not attend. Wednesdays, however, I have classes until 20:00, which means I am home late for the raid – around 20:45. However, once I am home, I can jump into a raid without problems, should I be required to.)

 

-Previous guild(s) and why did you leave it/them?

I am a sticker, so I didn't have many guilds. Pre-TBC, I was in various small guilds of friends, which mostly disbanded. I was in Orcish Delight for a while (another small guild) with TBC's coming, but most of my TBC time, and thus TBC raiding, I spent in Tavern of the Lazy Peon. Tavern is a great guild overall, and I have a slew of friends there, but I decided to apply here due to two simple facts – one, I can no longer attend two out of three raids they have in a timely fashion due to RL schedules (the abovementioned classes), and two, I've been growing increasingly frustrated with Tavern's raiding lately.

 

-If you currently in a guild, did you inform the officers about applying here?

Yes, I am currently still in Tavern, however I have requested to be demoted to a rank that does not allow me raidspots unless sorely undermanned (so that I am not 'leeching epixx' while applying to another guild). The officers are aware I may apply to another guild more suiting me and my schedule.

 

-Are you applying to other guilds than Heretic?

Nope. I got my eyes out only for you guys!

 

-Who do you know in Heretic?

I know Inexxa! Yes, yes, I'm aware he's only an initiate. A variety of your members may have seen me in PvP or those AQ40 runs Luki held, but I know none of them truly well or personally.

 

-Why do you want to join Heretic?

There are two reasons - one, you raid Fridays, a rarity on this server and a day I am completely free to do as I like. This appeals to me greatly, seeing I cannot timely attend the usual Monday-Wednesday-Thursday routine; and two, you are a guild that, considering your progress, does very well in this game. I enjoy seeing new content, and I'd very much like to have a chance to visit, and perhaps finish, the Black Temple, Mount Hyjal and the Sunwell Plateau before WotLK comes and they are forgotten, a chance I will othervise simply not have.

 

-What's your raiding experience?

I assume this pertains to post-TBC raiding experience. Let's see… Karazhan cleared (ain't I just leet? That one's sure to get me a trial! :P ), Zul'Aman cleared, 5/6 bosses in Serpentshrine and 3/4 in The Eye (with attempts on Kael'thas, but never successful ones), and some loose attempts on Rage Winterchill.

 

-What can you bring to the guild?

An Enhancement Shaman who knows their job, knows their class and knows the game. A person behind the keyboard who is a quick learner and adapts to situations, and despite lack of practical knowledge of the instances you do, willing to read strategies, watch movies and perform at their best in a raid.

Outside of 25-man raids, I can bring lighthearted banter and fun to the guildchat, as well as shaman pewpew for the 'lesser' raids and 5-mans, should you be running 'em. People tell me I'm interesting to converse with. ;)

 

-Do you have the following addons or programs?

DeadlyBossMods: Yes.

Omen: Of course. My class doesn't work without! ;)

Group Calendar: Not yet, but installing addons takes a whole 2 minutes of work, so I guess I will have it 2 minutes after shuffling this application in. :D

TeamSpeak: Yes, and a working headset.

 

-Anything else you'd like to add?

Thank you for getting this far! (Shoulda made a TL;DR version :P )

If I should be so lucky as to get invited into the guild before Friday, I might as well make a note that this Friday, I will be late due to having an exam. However, after that, everything's as stated in this post.

Indeed, Gorg. Even though we're apparently full on shamans, I wish you the best of luck with your app.

Love you too, Deadcroft! :P

 

Poke me if you wanna go glitch in AV sometimes. The Horde actually wins the stuff nowadays!

Honestly, haven't seen a detailed app like this for ages. This surely falls under the 'exceptional' cases category! :)

Great application, one of the best ive ever seen. But we have two Ench shaman already and rarely pick them both, so we can't offer you a spot atm. Im sure with applications like this you will find a good raiding guild.

Best of luck.

Not very likely, seeing all the other guilds simply raid when I can't attend. Ah well. Maybe a server transfer is in order.

 

Thanks anyway!
