Describe what you think you would bring to our guild if accepted. (raiding and social aspects)

I am a very focused individual whilst raiding, if I make a mistake I generally do not make it again. I am always looking to improve the way I play and welcome constructive criticism. Outside of raiding I am very sociable and always up for a laugh.

-----------------------------------
Character History
-----------------------------------
Previous Guilds: Pendulum, Apex, Sincerity

Reason for Leaving:

In WoTLK I started raiding with a Social guild called Sanctus Espiritus and lead their raid team to complete ICC (and of course all the other side raids such as TOTC, VOA etc. We completed all of the raids in the expansion, no HC modes though.

At the start of Cataclysm I joined Sincerity. I in turn rose up the ranks to lead their raid team all through cataclysm up to 4.3. I decided to leave Sincerity because that it was decided to focus on 25 man raids when we had a core group of 12 good players and were progressing well in 10 man HC Firelands. We ended up basing the raid around what sign ups we had and not the content that needed to be downed.

I also decided to apply to Apex to step up to the next level of raiding and be competitive and challenge for realm firsts. I joined Apex in November 2011 (about a month before 4.3) and have really enjoyed the step up. I have improved so much as a player and understand my class so much better than I did when I joined. Unfortunately due to not being able to raid Thursdays (RL issues) which is progress day after Wednesday farm they have recruited another Hpala that could raid Thursdays which is why I joined Pendulum.

RL Changes now mean I cannot raid Tuesdays and now can raid Thursdays. One of Pendulums main raiding days is Tuesdays which is why I wish to join a guild I can raid consistently with.
When did you start this character and how long have you /played ?
I started this char in WOTLK. I have played 81 days on this char. Have played a lot more on my old main though!

What encounters and raids have you experienced in Cataclysm? Please state if it was on 10man or 25man and was it normal or heroic:

My raiding experience in Cataclysm is:
BwD: 6/6 – 10 Man
BoT: 4/4 – 10 Man
ToTFW: 2/2 – 10 Man
Firelands: 7/7 heroic – 10 Man
Dragon Soul: 8/8 Heroic – 10 man HC in Apex and 25 Man HC in Pendulum

What previous raid experience do you have on this char? Please only mention stuff you did at the time when it was a current raid, we dont need to know you can clear black temple when you are level 85.

Cleared ICC Normal when it was current.

My only HC raiding experience comes from Cataclysm.

What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid? :
Give a original answer here, saying to buff and dps/heal/tank isnt really worth mentioning

Well my responsibilities are to think a step ahead. Making use of my hands (no pun intended), for example on Spine HC I use my Hand of Salvation on a DPS who is DPSing the bloods. Also if a tank is taking spike damage I can sacrifice them. I’m sure you get my drift!

What is your Spell Rotation ?

Healers generally do not have a specific rotation. Holy Palas mostly spam HR. Its all about being reactive and using the spell that is needed at that time. I.E I hardly ever use flash of light but if need be I am not afraid to use it.

My stat priority is Intellect > Haste => Spirit > Crit > Mastery.

Enchants are the normal ones associated with Holy Paladins.

Spec is pretty cookie cutter as well.

Also Post a UI Screen Shot (this is so we know how you see whats around you)

-----------------------------------
General Information
-----------------------------------

Age: 24

Country: England

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular?

I am looking for a competitive guild that has a proven track record in raiding. I also need a guild that fits my schedule and I feel you guys do!

Players you know / How did you come across us? WoW forums and browsing through WoW Progress.

Alts and Level (if any): Priest 85 (raid ready), Druid 85, Warrior 85, Hunter 85, Mage 82, Rogue 80 and Warlock 80

Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?: My main alts are all in Pendulum.

Did you read our Rules & Policies? Yes

What days can you play and what hours during those days (Please let us know now so no confusion is caused if you were to be accepted)?:

I can raid Weds, Thurs and Sundays. I could probably fit in an odd Monday but I have read that it is occasional.

(Members are required to be available for raiding at least 3/5 nights week with higher attendance prefered.) Raid days are Sun-Thur, 2000-2330 server time we do occasionaly stay later if we are close to a kill. Fri & Sat are off nights but if people are online we try to do alt runs or RBG's.

Previous online gaming experience (if any):

Well my gaming history began in the RPG genre. I started playing Diablo and Baldurs Gate when they were all the rage. Then I moved on to MMORPG’s such as Ultima Online (one of my favourite games of all time) Dark Age of Camelot and even dabbled in Star Wars Galaxies before moving on to WoW during the release of TBC.

I also am an avid player of Fifa!

I also love to pvp, I have a disc priest with full ruthless gear from last season, I haven’t had the time or team to do much pvp this season. I do thoroughly enjoy it though!

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:

I think I have covered everything. However if you need to ask any questions, just let me know!

Hey and Thanks for applying to cerebral, first off, a very good application!

looking into enchants for chest change the 75 stam to 20 stats
gems seem all good apart from the meta gem, also get the +2% maximum mana. and reforge the boots from crit>haste but apart from that everything seems perfect.

you seem to know what your doing as a player and with your logs seem to be very good.

just wait for a officer to get back, seems to be promising

Raeden · Guest

Thanks for your reply!

Hmm, I must have done the chest enchant by mistake!! I would normally do +20 stats rather than stamina of course. I chose the Meta because I never normally have a massive mana problem, so would prefer the 2% crit.

Zaquel · Guest

fair douse, sorry been at work all day, nice to see you have made all the changes and has explained why you use the meta :>

Zaquel · Guest

oomy · Guest

fml i did a horn -.- but anyway, mining proffession still

Raeden · Guest

I have been meaning to change that to JC, but just haven't got round to doing it. Besides ore can sometimes be a great source of income!

oomy · Guest

Thats what alts are for -.-

Crabby · Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 6:19 pm Post subject:

the proffesion thing isnt a deal breaker Especially now we are entering new xpac all i do recommend is farm ready to go to mop of all the nodes u will need for JC in MOP and then why lvling get some new nodes to finish and switch jsut before we start raids.

all else seems fine keep an eye on forum
