:: Application ::
-----------------------------------
Character Details
-----------------------------------
Character Name: Icysprite

(this is a joint application with a holy paladin friend called Phantas but he;s been hard to get hold off recently)

Class: Shamen

Level: 85

(Provide us with a link to your profile in the Armory)
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/kul-tiras/Icysprite/simple

Professions and Skill Level:
Professions
I’m currently maxed at 525 on enchanting and tailoring – Weird combination I know – but running dungeons gives masses of cloth to make items to DE – which helps when reviewing my spec and enchants – I was originally herb and alchemy but dropped it and wish I didn’t – but never got round to reviewing my skills.

Skills

Fishing/cooking/archaeology is also maxed – so can prepare the nice seafood magnifique feast when possible
What Elixirs/Flasks/Buff food do you use in raids to boost your performance?
Food
The food varies – If I’m not using nice seafood magnifique feast – then I’ll use severed sagefish head for the intellect buff, or baked rockfish for the critical strike – but generally i use the severed sagefish more for the extra intellect – if the fight is a long fight then I would consider using Delicious sagefish tail for the spirit
Flasks
The flask I use more is Flask of the Draconic Mind for the extra intellect – Though if the fight is long and I have issues with mana I have the tendency to use Flask of the Flowing water
I try to always keep a good amount in my bags for all situations as you never know when you will need it – especially if you missed the seafood magnifique feast or the cauldron.


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





-----------------------------------
Character History
-----------------------------------
Previous Guilds:
I was previously in Nox Aeternum and Katastrophe

Reason for Leaving:
It’s complicated – I took a break from raiding before firelands due to real life issues (mainly because I wanted to get my life back on track and hit the gym a bit more while focusing on work) – I joined a guild in Neptulan called Ice Cream where my Friends are (plus the name was very fitting as all my characters start with Icy or Ice). But after awhile they all sort of quit one by one, I was alone in the guild, running heroics by myself (as you could imagine it’s very boring after awhile).
Phantas who was my previous GM before I quit, texted me out of the blue saying I should join his guild on Kul tiras called Nox Aeternum as they need a resto shamen. So after a long discussion I decided to join (I wasn’t doing much anyways – though the 35 squid part was a lot of umming and ahhing) – then suddenly a week after transferring and joining they put a big whammy on me saying that they were having troubles in keeping 25mans going so decided to down grade to 10mans – it was a shame as I only just paid for the transfer – but they took me into Katastrophe as a raider (they had 2 tiers a progression raider and a raider – as I could not raid Sundays I was made a raider rank due to not being able to attend 100%).
Phantas wasn’t so keen on joining due to their ethics of having to have 100% attendance or you won’t be classified as a core part of the team – As Phantas didn’t join and they didn’t know me very well – they told me it was best for the guild and myself that my time at Katasptrophe was brought to an end (they had another resto shamen who’s been in guild longer which took my spot) – Very sad day as you can imagine.


When did you start this character and how long have you /played ?
The Start
I started Icysprite in TBC days on Qual Thalas – I joined pretty late in the expansion – Though Icysprite wasn’t my main at the time – My warlock was my main but decided to change to shamen as they were more fun.

The playtime
In total I’ve played on this character for 181 days but at level 85 I’ve only played 32 days





Raiding

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

I haven’t had as much experience as I would’ve liked due to taking the break But before my break I had cleared the below Cata raids
Patch 4.1
BOT – 25man normal
BWD – 25man normal
TOTFW (only downed first boss not Al’akir as this is when my break started) 25man normal
I’ve only really been a 25man raider.
Patch 4.2
But recently coming back I’ve done
3/7 on fireland 25man normal
Which includes – Beth’tilac / Alysrazor and Baleroc
I’ve also experienced Shannox on heroic/ Lord Rhyolith Herioc – both 25man
Ragnaros normal – 10man – this was my first boss I experienced when I came back so it was very scary – especially 2 man healing it in my gear – but we managed to get to phase 3 which was nice.
The only one I haven’t seen is Majordomo

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.

The burning Crusades
At the time on TBC I only managed to raid
Karazhan (still one of my favourite raids) Though I never cleared it I got pretty far, ZA, TK, Gruuls Lair were the raids I managed to experience – I didn’t clear them at the time due to starting late in the patch – but was nice to have cleared them half way.
Wrath of the Lich King
This expansion for me was the main expansion I played on where I became a full on raider.
The raids I have done are listed below
Naxxramas – 25man and 10man cleared
Ulduar – 10man cleared (25man cleared all buy Algalon)
The eye of eternity – 25man and 10man cleared
The Obsidian Sanctum – 25man and 10man cleared
Trial of the Crusader (my most hated raid) 25man and 10man normal cleared, Also cleared this on heroic, 25man progress was 4/5 on heroic
The Ruby Sanctum – 25man and 10man normal cleared, 10man heroic cleared
Vault of Archaven – 25man and 10man cleared
Onyxias Lair – 25mand and 10man cleared
Icecrown Citadel – 25man and 10man cleared on normal – 10man heroic cleared, 25man 11/12 herioc

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

I think my main responsibilities are to be someone who can focus for the duration of the raid times. And hopefully someone who is reliable and able to use its class to its full potential without looking like an ass. Someone who is constantly reviewing his own abilities on how to improve and become a highly recommended player. Someone who is mature and willing to take criticism and advice and directions well.

What is your Spell Rotation ?

My spell rotation really depends on the fight as shamens are very versatile and can be tank healers or raid healers – depending on the role and fight my rotation would be
25man – raid healing
With the two set bonus – riptide is a key starting point for the mana regen buff and haste buff – So I would cast that on any low HP players – depending on the fight Chain heal is still an important spell with healing rain – if the fight is generally a close fight then chain heal and healing rain really benefits in this case such as the ground phase on Alysrazor – but as most current fights are quite dispersed then healing wave is a key spell, with healing surge for the emergency situations – I also throw Unleash elemental once off CD into the mix especially on tanks for the big healing buff – Spiritwalkers Grace also really helps on fights where there’s a lot of movement, nature swiftness is nice for the emergency instant casts for life saving situations. I’ve heard spirit link totem is a key talent in firelands – Due to the experience I haven’t pin pointed when this is needed – but I will find out.
10man – raid healing
This is probably where the shamen is at its most disadvantage – as upsetting as it is – shamens are quite disadvantaged compared to a lot of other classes in 10mans – They are not as good as priests in 10man raid healing as Chain Heal is pretty redundant due to the group being small and the amount of room people have to move being so vast making chain heal and healing rain useless – Even as tank healers they aren’t top choice compared to Paladins. But in 10mans The best rotations I find is the general Riptide > Unleash Elements > Healing wave/Healing surge
Tank healing
Shamens are a very versatile healing class – as they have nice raid healing spells – but now with Unleash elements / Riptide and healing wave they make good tank healers.

Opps forgot Earth sheild - Always keep that up on tank or my healing target

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

Age: 29 but 30 in 4 weeks

Country: England

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular? We got a post on our forum thread from Zaquel that you was looking for a Resto shamen and Holy paladin (didn’t realise it was almost impossible to find a guild who needs both of our classes who raid the times we can and has the progression we are looking for, though my experience isn’t as upto scratch as Phantas – I learn quick and take advice on board) – after looking into the guild I logged over and spoke to Xtyz for a long time. From everything he said the guild sounds perfect with many UK residents, progression and fun atmosphere. (felt sorry for Xytz for keeping you awake – sorry)

Players you know / How did you come across us? We got a reply on our forum post from Zaquel, apart from speaking to Xytz – I don’t really know anyone else.

Alts and Level (if any):
Icedberg – shadow priest – lvl 85 – neptulan
Icedjoystick – Feral Druid – lvl 85 – neptulan
Icedmocha – Mage – lvl 85 - neptulan

Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?: All my alts are still on Neptulan in the guild called Ice Cream. Would be costly to move them – so at the moment they will be remaining there.

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 cant raid Sundays – due to this being a family day which I cant miss – and also I cant raid Tuesday as I play badminton – but can raid Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays 20.00 to any time – which Xytz said was fine as thats 3/5 – hope that isn’t an issue.

(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): Nah I only play wow =)

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:
I’m a retail analyst who works in London and loves to drink and eat! Especially Steak and cheese! Yummy!!!!!!!!!!! Otherwise I’m a fun person to know.

Before applying be sure your willing to work hard on your character at level 85 and try to better it outside of raids by spamming heroics, farming mats for crafted gear that will improve your raid performance, and having it all gemmed and enchanted properly inc Helm and Shoulder Exalted rep Enchants.

All of the above will be monitored during your trial period so be willing to try hard.

Officers : Banoo, Clanzie, Ayianna, Sonicator, Xtyx, Sapph
