Raider Application - Druid (Tank) - Fleaa

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying for the main raid.

Character: Fleaa
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Fleaa/advanced
Class/Spec: Druid (Tank)
Member Type: raider

Personal Info:

Andrew Clark
27 year old
Retired web developer (Been sat in an office since 16 and got bored so quit!)
Part-time Forex Trader

Class/Spec:

I'm currently playing as a Guardian Druid and have invest all of my AP into that, current item level is 847. I honestly, hadn't planned on playing this I was planning on playing resto again as I did in WoD but it seems everyone in my current guild rolled healer, so I decided to take up the tank slot.

My preferable offspec is Feral although I'm not that good at it (but improving!), and I really do not like boomkin!

I have 840+ gear for all 4 of the druid specs, albeit not optimised properly for each.

So after reading and doing a little personal simcrafting I'm using the following stat priority for my Guardian spec, the others have no priority I just take the best ilvl I'm afraid! But that will change if the other specs are actually called upon.

Agility, Mastery == Versatility, Haste, Crit

Alts:

I have a 110 Rogue at ilvl 812. Its specced sub which sucks in dungeons at the minute but I use it primarily for PVP anyway!

Also have a 102 resto shaman which I love and will be levelling to 110 as I think they will be awesome in Mythic+ and I'll probably spend a lot of time chasing those keystones!

Professions:

800 Herbalism
800 Alchemy - all flasks! And once the first boss in EN dies I will have the cauldrons up.

I've kept 60 pots in my bank ready to make them as soon as I get the recipe!

Working on LW with my rogue but not doing a lot with it right now.


Raiding Experience:

I played seriously during Vanilla/BC and WotlK where we managed to clear all of the raids before I got fed up and took a break. I played a mage primarily but also played resto druid!

I didn't really bother with raids in Cata and MoP except a few visits to Firelands but I joined a casual guild for WoD and managed to clear heroic HFC and 3/13 mythic. Nothing massively notable, but I'm not a complete beginner.

Previous Guilds:

Non that I can remember.. current is Blood and Bone and they are very casual with no real raiding schedule.

Availability:

I'm currently available far too much - playing from about 11am to 11pm and beyond. As I work from home trading forex I just do that on one of my other monitors whilst playing.

Communication:

Yes, to all of those.

One of the key things I'm looking for a guild is exactly this - people who are willing to talk on comms, achieve and just have a laugh.

Computer / Connection:

PC is solid, built it brand new a few months ago and got stung on GTX980 when I could have had a 1080/1070 nowdays thats better and cheaper!

Internet is fine and I normally dont have any connection issues, although recently its been a nuisance but thats largely something that everyone has experienced!

Addons/UI:

ElvUI
Omen
Skada
Pawn
TSM
NPCScan
NPCOverlay

Other Games:

Star Citizen, EVE Online, CSGO.. you name it I probably play it! I used to be heavily involved in esports and the travel to gamescomm etc regularly!

Why Iron Edge?

Honestly, because I want to be part of a community of English speaking players that play a game, have a laugh but want to achieve something within that game. I the first 3 expansions playing with a similar communtiy called PUB that had servers in all kind of games - CS1.6, Team Fortress etc and we just had a ball.

At the end of the day, I want to raid whilst its not easy and is relevant but I want to have a laugh with people whilst doing it and not join random pug groups that dont communicate. WoW used to be social game!

What can I offer Iron Edge?

A mature committed player with experience in competitive gaming of all sizes! I have raid experience, not afraid of comms and like to act as a team, so making grinding those mats to make flasks to give out to you all so we can progress, is just part of my routine!

It's a team game, I pull my weight!

Where did I hear about Iron Edge?

Honestly, I googled "Kazzak British Guild" because there has to someone out there that is primarily British and will share the same humour, living conditions, you name it!

Oh and when I read your post about Legion is coming and you mentioned 4 LAN parties.. thats right up my street! I love a good get together at LAN

Last Words?

I have read everything and I did see that your website says you are not recruiting for raiders, but I thought I'd fill this out and give it a shot. Raiding once a week on a Sunday isn't enough for me and I popped on Discord to ask a few questions but no one seems to be available.

I'm basically, having a pop because whats the worst that can happen?

Also, if I can't join as a tank I'm actually pretty happy to level any character you need. I'm looking for a semi-serious community more than a tank space.. perhaps that resto shaman would be useful?!

Hi Fleaa!

I really like your app and I think you'll fit in with us just fine. But I'm afraid I can't offer you a guaranteed raid spot on the main team in the short term, especially not for tanking.

If you're willing to accept a trial as a social member we'll probably be able to trial you at some later point for the main raid, but it will likely also not be as a tank. We have two other casual raid teams that you can raid with in the meantime, if you're interested.

Let me know!

[Fleaa]

Hi!

Thanks for the invitation, it is very much appreciated!

I'm happy to join as a social member and wait my turn in the main raid. That should teach me to try find a tanking slot 2 days before raids right?

However, if I cannot tank. What classes/specs are you guys after and I'll make a start on something new? I'm open to any/all really!

[Shylar]

I think mostly a ranged dps as we have a lot of melee on the roster. The link below shows the 2 main raid teams and I would advise rolling something we don't have a lot of at the moment i.e. Shadow Priest or Boomkin although you may wish to message an officer to confirm this recommendation.
