Hello, Iron Edge!
I am applying for the main raid.
Character: Lightrox
Armory: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/Kazzak/LightroxClass/Spec: Rogue (DPS)
Member Type: Raider
Personal Info:IRL Name:Tiago
Age:31
Location: London/Uk
Work: University Sports Coach/PT
Class/Spec:My main spec is Outlaw (ILvl 222)- I prefer it as I'm most comfortable playing it, but I'm also proficient in the other two specs, as far as the meta goes- Outlaw is simply ahead in terms of overall performance except in a few niche fights. I also prefer to play a spec that has consistent dps with a solid amount of Aoe/Cleave.
My secondary go to spec is Subtetly (220) which I use mostly for world content. I did start raiding with sub, however with the rise of Outlaw I made the switch as I'm also keen on M+.
I'm also fan of the pirate theme...Yarrrrr?! Anybody? No? Okay.
My class knowledge is solid- I understand my strengths and weaknesses. Outlaw is simple to play and the pace is highly determined by the Roll The Bones buffs. Its a typical combo point builder/spender spec which requires the maintenance of 2 self-buffs (slice and dice/Roll bones) and a debuff (between the eyes). Roll the bones buffs have a priority which determines which buffs you should keep and which ones can be rerolled before expired. Mastery of the spec requires situational decision-making when picking and discarding buffs.
My stats differ depending on content, but I like to play with 11% haste as a minimum baseline and filling the rest with Vers and Crit. I use Raidbots tools as standard guideline but I dont use it as a pure absolute.
Alts:I have a Havoc DH (Lightfell) which I mained during Legion and BFA but due to developers treatment of the class during beta and launch of SL I decided to opt for a class with multiple dps specs which provided a safer option when doing content.
My DH is currently 215 Ilvl and I generally only do keys with it.
I also have a 2H Frost DK (Lightell) at 210 which I use mostly for ze lolz. Its a bit of a meme, but I enjoy the simplistic playstyle when I just want to chill and do lower keys.
Both of these characters are still in my old guild that I was a part of since the start of MOP.
Professions:My professions are Alchemy. Who doesn't love 2 hour flasks! And Engineering, mostly for the emergency CR but it also has a nifty Teleport item which makes it easier to get around the open world.
Raiding Experience:TBC- I played a holy paladin throughout all the content as it was released. My guild then went AFK upon reaching Muru until Wrath.
WOTLK- Switched to Retribution and cleared all relevant content including several Hardmodes.
Cataclysm- Cleared all content up until Dragonsoul (my guild at the time was already running on life-support) We killed Madness but the guild core/leadership fell apart after that and the guild diabanded. I also had personal issues with my living arrangements which forced me to take a break.
MOP- Found new guild with a semi-casual/hc approach which cleared content but with a more relaxed attitude. We did all content up to and including Siege of Orgrimmar. We always cleared HC and dabbled into the earlier bosses on the harder difficulties.
WOD- Exact same approach as in MOP clearing all HC content and doing the earlier bosses on the more difficult modes. Towards the later half of Hellfire Citatel (everyone in guild was a break) so I joined a Hardcore guild to push further into the further into the raid. Little did I know it was a sinking ship and the guild (like many in WOD) disbanded 2-3 weeks after having joined it.
Legion-Went Flavour of the moth and rolled a DH and like in previous expansions- cleared all HC content and took on several mythic encounters in each tier.
BFA- Was again a similar affair- however I had to take a break from WoW due to a change of jobs which essentially made me missed out the entirety of the Eternal Palace. I came back at the end of EP tier by which point alot of the guild had gone on a break and was now playing Classic. Upon the release of Nyalotha the remaining members decided to go all out into Mythic where we were able get up to M Nzoth but at that point we also had alot of the more (casual) taking breaks which made it impossible to have decent set-ups to takle M Nzoth.
SL- Strong start to expansion and we even had two raid teams going into CN as a result of all players coming back. Due to a difference in ideologies- half the raid Team (the players that pushed into M Nyalotha) decided to leave guild because the Core officers didnt agree with their ethos. Even though I raided with them, I decided to stay out of loyalty to the old core players. We still managed to do Sire HC eventually.
Previous Guilds:Kawhoom-TBC-CATA (disbanded)(paladin Officer)
Midlife Crisis -Mop-current (core raider)
Ava- (2-3 week stint) not sure if relevant (disbanded)
I decided to leave midlife crisis as the guild is slowly sinking into oblivion and it has one remaining officer trying her best to hold the guild together. The core officers/GM/RL decided to abandon the guild for Classic. The guild is sadly bleeding out with many of the core players having already left. I found myself constantly pugging and I would much rather play in an active guild with a more ambitious mind-set.
Availability:Due to the pandemic- I'm currently free and flexible to fit any schedule and its unlikely to change until late June.
However, upon returning to work- I have evenings and weekends available.
Nothing planned currently.
Communication:I'm proficient in English.
I do not have T3 currently (didnt know people still used it tbh) but its no problem to get it!
I'm able to listen
I also have a working microphone.
Computer / Connection:Just recently got a new Pc with really good specs.
No Issues whatsoever.
Addons/UI:ElvUi for the custom options.
WA's play a big part in the way I play- everything from Class specific things to track CDs/abilities to Raid/dungeons abilties, Cr Trackers, Pride trackers, even Poisons!
Big Wigs/Little Wigs
Plater
Details.
Would be happy to provide a screentshot through discord
Other Games:Sometimes console games- but rarely any tbh.
Why Iron Edge?I want to join Iron Edge for several reasons.
First being that you guys are obviously active and continue pushing high-end content and I feel that I belong in a place with people with similar goals and mindsets. Having had to pug for the last several weeks its made me realise just how important this is. I really want to challenge myself as I love this game and I think Iron Edge could offer me that.
I want to be a part of a guild that offers that community feeling, having looked at your website, it seems like you guys do stuff outside of the game and I would love to be a part of that.
It seems like the guild that has been around for a long time and I would to have that security of a solidly established guild. Just a place I can call Home. *throw cheese in there
What can I offer Iron Edge?I feel like I can offer several things
As a potential raider/member you can be sure that I'm always going to be on top of my game. I like performing at the highest level and enjoy competition within a team environment. You're always going to get good solid numbers from me.
I'm extremely reliable and can provide consistent attendance/availablity to guild events, be it raiding, Keys, even PvP.
I also enjoy doing more casual based things on alts and so on.
I'm communicative, albeit a bit shy at first but a huge team player.
I also like to think I'm quite helpful but always open to constructive criticism.
I'm into social events and even just socialling outside of Raids/wow.
Where did I hear about Iron Edge?I was looking at Guild recruitment within the game and saw the guild name. I liked the name and got a good vibe so I decided to look more into it. Checked your website and now here I am.
Last Words?Thanks for taking your time with this.
Hopefully see you soon.
