-Ahoy hoy!

Character Details
-----------------------------------
Character Name: Savium
Class: Monk
Level: 90
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/kazzak/Savium/simple
Professions and Skill Level: Alchemy : 600 / Herbalism :600
-- Most guilds prefer a person with double crafting professions but in my opinion the haste buff from herbalism is a lifesaver when I have to boost my healing in a tough fight because it reduces my basic healing ability,soothing mist, by 6 seconds.
Herbalism is also a great way to provide herbs to your guild. --
What Elixirs/Flasks/Buff food do you use in raids to boost your performance?
Most of the time people bring Baunqets to the raid,otherwise I use mogu fish stew that provides me + 300 intellect,it's kinda expensive but I haven't really levelled cooking yet but it's one of my priorities. :] .
I create my own flasks and potions.I only use Flask of the warm sun in raids because intellect is essential for a MW monk,considering that it increases my SP and my crit.I don't have mana issues so Flask of falling leaves isn't really what I would use in a raid.Since my main attributes are spirit and intellect I wouldn't use strength or agility ones , I don't know if I would use a stamina flask probably only if it was essential for a teamfight where we would need lots of health.
Additionally, I use potions that increase my mana if I get in a demanding situation where I would be low on mana after a long fight. I primarily use master mana potions and potions of focus if I get the chance to stand out of the fight for 10 seconds,for example when the boss is swapping phases et cetera.
Describe what you think you would bring to our guild if accepted. (raiding and social aspects)
Meeting people is my thing in and out of the game,even though I've had mostly bad experiences with the people I met ingame.I would describe myself as a social butterfly,there are so many characters and people out there that you can explore and learn so much for them,being social can be annoying but don't worry about that I've got my limits and I can fully understand when someone isn't willing to talk.I'm up to help people and provide them with flasks,potions,herbs and shoulder enchants(got 600 inscription on my old character) if I got the time and the proper mood for it.
When it comes to raiding, I always try to have a positive and serious attitude when things are falling aprat, be on time, have my flasks/foods/potions in my bags.Also since I am a social person I have the advantage of being a good listener,which means I can follow directions at hand, I think I can say that this is what made me a disciplined raider back when I was active.

Character History
-----------------------------------
**Before starting filling my charecter history I would like to make a brief post about my past experience with my old character.
I was in my sister's guild from WOTLK to late Cata.We've cleared Naxx25,OS25,Ulduar25,EoE25,Toc10/25,VoA25,ICC25 with some hard modes and heroics.[ I also had some TBC raid experience when I was 12-13,yeah.. I was that 12 y/o that raided but I wasn't obnoxious as far as I remember... just some KZ,Gruul's lair and Magtheridon I really didn't know what I was doing back then but thank god I have changed so much since then. :) ]
When cataclysm came out I decided to take a long break and stop playing even though my sister's guild was active.I started playing with my main when DS was already out and nerfed my sister and her guild helped me gear up again.My sister stopped playing because she finished her uni and started working , plus the fact that she got engaged and felt like taking a break from WoW..When Pandaria came out I transfered to Kazzak and was in a 10 man guild which I can't remember the name of when being 2/6 in MSV normal and having 467 ilvl was hardcore.After getting those 2 first bosses I then stopped playing because I had some family problems which I wouldn't want to mention.I started playing again 2 months ago and decided to reroll to a MW monk since they I always thought the were fascinating since the release of Pandaria and voilà here I am.
Previous Guilds:
Epilepsia
Reason for Leaving:
I was pretty much a social and I wanted to start being active again but sadly their raid group was full and they didn't need another healer for their core group.
When did you start this character and how long have you /played?
I started playing this character 2 months ago, my played is 11 days.Despite my short in time game experience with monks I can tell that I fully understand my class since I've read most guides that are out there and I am also trying to keep myself up with the news in the next patches,for example Chi's brew remake in 5.4 .
What encounters and raids have you experienced in Mists of Pandaria? Please state if it was on 10man or 25man and was it normal or heroic.
So far so good with this character I've been through a lot of pugs.I've cleared MSV10man normal and done 3 bosses on heroic.I've also cleared ToES10man with first boss on elite and completed 5/12 bosses in ToT10man normal.Despite my small ingame experience I have read and acknowledged all tacts for ToT but I couldn't find a PUG or a semi guild run that would accept me without a proper achiev.
What previous raid experience (Vanilla, TBC, WoLK, Cata) 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 90.
Currently on this character none since Monks came out with this expansion but please check my ** post from above.
What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid? :
Give a original answer here, saying to buff and dps/heal/tank isn't really worth mentioning.
My responsibility as Savium,other than healing and keeping people alive to suceed a boss kill is to keep up a good attitude,give my 100% most of the time and try to motivate people to do better,we shouldn't punish people who make mistakes unless they do it repeatedly with no improvement.
What is your Spell Rotation ?
From my experience I've seen that Mistweaver monks can be played in many and different ways.
I always have my jade statue on.
Single target: I start up with Chi wave then I use renewing mist after that use Soothing mist,once I get 4 chi I use Enveloping mist.After my soothing mist is done channeling I us emy mana tea stacks,chi wave again, renewing mist,soothing mist,enveloping mist and repeat it till the enemy is dead.I also use expel harm every now and then for some extra chi generation and I also try to keep my eminescence up by throwing a blackout kick each 30 seconds.
If the target I'm healing is getting heavy damage I pop renewing mist > lifeblood > soothing mist > thunder focus tea > surging mist x2> envelpoing mist and that should work,if it's even tougher than I thought I throw my life cocoon. If I have to keep moving and I need to burst heal I just use renewing mist > chi wave and spam healing spheres on top of the target with life cocoon,but I rarely got into a situation where I have to move.
If I'm just on some trash I just pop my statue + start dpsing while using chi wave and renewing mist.
Aoe:
Chi wave > Renewing mist > uplift > expel harm[for chi generation] > Chi torpedo,If I can move around people > Spinning crane kick.I also use Revival in critical situations or when there is an AOE healing cooldown rotation between healers for example in Megaera's ballistic rage or Tortos' stomp.
++ Some people also like to use their chi to gain x3-5 stacks on Vital mists for a lower mana cost on surging mist but I find it abit time consuming but it works when you're fighting trash and feeling like a ''Fistweaver''.
Why have you chosen to reforge, gem and enchant the way you have? Give a brief description on why particular stats are good for your class/spec.
Reforge:
Well I chose not to reforge most of my stuff because I believe it's pretty balanced like that, I have only reforged mastery to crit and mastery to spirit on some itiems.
My haste and crit percentages are pretty good in my opinion since (*) haste is the cherry on top for a monk healer because more haste means faster casting, and faster generation and usage of Chi plus the fact that it lowers your general cooldowns.In my opinion mastery is okay for a monk but a lackluster so I wouldn't focus my mastery on it since those random monk balls are a nice healing bonus but you can't control them.Crit increases the chance to land a critical heal and critical heals generate additional stacks of mana tea thanks to brewing mana tea talent, which means more crit = more mana.Being that strong on haste and crit makes my rotation more efficient
Gems: Gems are truly outrageous.( :winkwink: , league of legends reference).
I chose to use gems with spirit because as strange as it sounds I have my own rule (**) that if I have 12k+ spirit I'll be fine,plus the fact that mana tea also helps me with mana related issues in combat.Instead of going full on pure red intellect gems I chose to go for purple intellect and spirit ones just so I can achieve 12k+ spirit.Same with yellow gems and meta gem spirit for my 12k+ rule and crit just to boost my crit chanche +brewing mana tea talent.
Enchants:
Shoulder enchant: Intellect and crit, see above(*)
Back enchant: Intellect, see above(*)
Chest enchant:Spirit, see above (**)
Bracer enchant: Intellect, see above (*)
Weapon enchant: Jade spirit is imo the best enchant a caster can use,chance to proc intellect,see above(*) and chance to boost spirit if you're under 25% mana which helps in long fights.
Offhand enchant:Haste, see above (*)
Hands enchant: Haste , see above (*)
Belt Buckle: -> extra spirit gem,see above (**)
Legs enchant:Intellect + spirit,main reasons because it's the only possible leg enchant for a healer.
Feet enchant:Pandaren's step, I might have said that mastery is abit of a lackluster for a monk but I simply chose it because I really didn't feel like using any past expansion feet enchants.
Also Post a UI Screen Shot (this is so we know how you see what's around you)
My UI:

Provide a relevant World of Logs report from your past guild/raid. Not being able to provide this can be detrimental to your application. If you do not have any relevant logs, please run an LFR and log that, we are not looking at your damage, more so your buff up-times etc.
I had problems using this programme since it was my first time using this and I wasn't accepted as a member who could upload stuff on wow logs so I just did this :
This is from LFR Dumuru the Forgotten in TOT, I was battling for the first place with a priest, I think i ended up being second.

and since I thought that wouldn't work properly I did another LFR boss fight versus the Council in TOT,I was first,people were pretty low geared just thought you wanted to see my spells and stuff.

again sorry for the lack of that hope it helped.

General Information
-----------------------------------
Age: 17, had my birthday on 4 of July
Country: Sunny and broke Greece
Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular?
I decided to start being an active raider again because I grew tired of being a social player,not experiencing the content of this expansion and doing nothing.
Players you know / How did you come across us?
I don't know anyone but as I mentioned before I'm pretty sure I'll make myself known if I get accepted.
I found out about your guild in the Kazzakian forums.
Alts and Level (if any):
I have my old main, a level 90 druid which I only use for inscription shoulder enchants.
Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?:
I am still in Epilepsia as a social but I've informed them that I will be leaving.
Did you read our Rules & Policies?
Yes I did, they seemed fair and square.
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)?:
(Members are required to be available for raiding at least 3/4 nights week with higher attendance preferred.) Raid days are Wed Thurs Sun Mon. 20:00-00:00 server time we do occasionally 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.
For now I believe that I will be available for 4/4 days and the time suits me well,if something happens I'll make sure to inform you.It's good to know that you guys are doing alt runs + rgbs shows that you're trying to do something as a guild.I'm not really a pvp person but Id be always happy to join if im needed, got some pvp gear in the bank.
Previous online gaming experience (if any):
I've played Rift when it first came out,it was really fun and wow-like.I played a cleric and a mage,both healers and very fun.I was in a decent guild in winterfall or something like that,can't remember the name of the server,I remember that we were progressing Greenscale,Alsbeth and even cleared early Hammerknel. Good times... but sadly the game died.
Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:
Well I am a high school student and a biomedical scientist wannabe.
I just try to live my life to the fullest,hang out with friends,meeting people from around the globe online and all those cliché things teenagers do in our days. :D
Extra
_______________
I know that my gear is pretty weak for your standards but Id really like to join as a trial and try to improve my gear. I've put alot of effort,time and thinking on this application.
Thank you for your time. |
