Raider Application - Paladin (DPS/Tank) - Vejeta (XR)

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

Character: Vejeta
Server: Ragnaros
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Ragnaros/Vejeta/advanced
Class/Spec: Paladin (DPS/Tank)
Member Type: raider

Personal Info:

Name - Luke Wilson
Age - 26
Location - UK
Work - Full time for British Gas

Class/Spec:

Ret is my main spec and i prefer to play this over protection due to the way prot paladins feel to what they used to be. My ill for Ret is 586 and prot is 584.

I prefer to play ret nowadays as mentioned briefly above protection just isnt what it used to be for me, best times was Wotlk and TBC.

Alts:

I have one alt worth mentioning being my Ele shaman at level 90 named Trúnkss on ragnaros realm, i also have an 85 druid on emerald dream called Atejev and a mage called Cáláron iirc on draneor / kazzak cant remember where i left her.

Professions:

I have jewelcrafting and blacksmithing for what was once useful bonus sockets and superior gems, however all proff buffs are limited since patch now.

Raiding Experience:

Vanilla - wasn't around
TBC - Cleared all content and used to tank it for bear run as well which I ended up getting on my alt mage instead...
WotLK - all hard modes etc done and heroic modes done in one shape or another on 10/25
Cata - All heroics done, was done as protection paladin (main tank)
MoP - Wasnt around early MoP
MSV/ Hof / Toes i done all those whilst in Tot Patch / early SoO as returned from break.
SoO i have done what was once lfr and flex 14/14 and normal 14/14, i then started bout 2/3 months ago Hc (now mythic) raiding and i am currently sat at 12/14Mythic progress with attempts on 10man mythic (use to be heroic) Klaxxi and garrosh to entry phase 4.

Previous Guilds:

My recent guilds as been around a while are as oldest to earliest.

Ambuscade - Thunderhorn, i was with this guild the entirety of Cata and only reason i left was due to they ex realmed to Kazzak and went horde all whilst i was becoming a first time parent o took a reak from the game.

Weekend Warriors - i joined this guild on draenor when i first came back to wow and was tanknig for them normal tot and flex SoO until i re rolled to retribution ms, left to go progress to Old heroic(mythic now)

Moved to V o T H over on Kazzak back in June this year where the guild had 1 raid then wildstar hit, so we dropped and tried staying alive as a 10man guild however eventually the officers and GM left so guild fell apart.

From V o T H i joined a guild on Ragnaros realm where i was till recently but they played it sneaily and recruited for the summer drought to go 25man and then cut all the recruits out once Mythic dropped which leads me to the here and now.

Availability:

I am available most days of the week in varied hours, currently Tuesdays and fridays aresocial playtime as well as sundays as i look after my daughter whilst her mother goes to work part time. Mondays and Thursdays are fine raid days for myself and saturdays a re normally good during the day for social playing aswell.

Communication:

I believe i am fluent in english as its my mother tongue, i have Teamspeak 3 and i can listen and yes i have a working headset that comes with mic so i can use that when needed aswell.

Computer / Connection:

8gb ram
Intel core i3-4130 came in a bundle with a new motherboard as the last one the pci-e slot burned and went straight to hell.
Amd radeon hd 7770 graphics card
windows 7 home premium
22 inch monitor
Razer Naga mouse and keyboard.

I normal sit around 75 fps and about 28-32 ms

Addons/UI:

I mainly have the following

Shadowedunitframes
Ardent defender
Bartender
Grid
Skad
Omen
DBM

Other Games:

I play football manager....
Starcraft 2
fifa and thats about it, oh and the occasional hearthstone

Why Iron Edge?

I want to join a guild so that i can stop going through guilds faster than my daughter goes through nappies...

I want to be in for the long haul, experience joy at end progress after putting in the effort.

What can I offer Iron Edge?

I can offer to you a loyal and dedicated player that if has time will help anyone out and run old raids challenge modes etc.

Im a very focused raider and a social player outside of raids, i like my banter aswell.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge?

I found out about your guild whilst looking for a guild that raids the days that suit myself, we are around the same progress aswell and i have experience of the fights first hand so only difference is how you do it to what i've done to kill the bosses before.

Last Words?

Well just i hope just because you have 12 billion melee that isn't a blocked i'm a good player read and watch up tactics in advance and never hide if i've screwed up, i'm honest and take criticism well and hope to improve upon receiving any critique.

You call that an internet connection?

Now this is an internet connection.


Apart from that, the application seems good and informative. We just need to wait for an officers opinion now. Good luck mate.

Could you post a screenshot of your UI and explain what talents/glyph choices you use in SOO and why?

[Vejeta]

Here is a screenshot, my grid goes next to the abilities bar to the right of them to be exact.

Talents depending on fight are

T1 - speed of light,always keep this as when need to move fast its a hany saved cooldown for this.
T2 - Fist of justice, again this is just a preference to give an additional quick stun compared to the untalented Hammer of justice.
T3 - I have gone with sacred shield but have changed in the past between fights with eternal flame and if stacked aoe damage i have( although not for a long while) used selfless healer.
T4 - I tend to favor clemency as always asked to drop a Hand of Sacrifice on a squishy tank, used to also benefit with Salv and HoP when one tank overaggrod other at start of thok and also help healers with thok with hopx2 at the ready.
T5 0 depending on aoe or single target majority fights i alternate between sanctified wrath (single target) and Divine Purpose for fights like Immersus, Sha, Galakras, Spoils where large proportion of fight is multiple adds.
T6 - Same reasons as T5 talents i either go execution sentence for single target fight or Lights Hammer for AoE, encounters similair to those mentioned in previous tier.

Glyphs i have Sanc glyphed to benefit using it in the first place, i have Templars verdict in aswell to reduce damage taken and i alternate between Divine storm for additional healing (minimal usage and the mass Exorcism to give more aoe options.

If you require me to explain minor glyphs they are all cosmetic choices.

Hopefully thi answers what you have asked if not just say and ill happily help.

My god, ret paladins don't have a lot of buttons.

I like the application and you seem to know what you're talking about. What do you think Sinafey?

[Vejeta]

Rashkebab, yes take shamans they have like 20 more buttons than us post patch XD

Locks have chaosbolt keybound to every binding though iirc....

[Sinafey]

Could you give me a incombat screenshot showing how you track any buffs/debuffs?

What keybinds do you use as I can't see any on the screenshot?

[Vejeta]

Sinafey not currently got a in combat screenshot however i track own buffs via need to know which is displayed under my player hub adn keybinds are for first bar bottom bar of buttons keybind to 1-10 and 2nd bar is keybinds ctrl +1, so fairly simple keybinds.

I can grab a screen print in a few mins of in combat on my shammy and attach it to give you an idea.
