Hello, Iron Edge!
I am applying for the main raid.
Character: Rebellos
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Rebellos/advancedClass/Spec: Shaman (DPS)
Member Type: raider
Personal Info:Harry, 20, Academic studies on Applied Mathematics and Physics @ NTUA (National Technical University of Greece)
Class/Spec:Elemental
My main spec was Restoration but I haven't played at all in Legion.
Intellect > Crit-Haste > Mastery (cap) > Versatility
Tier 1 : Totem Mastery is the best Talent to go with, since it gives some pretty big buffs on basic stats/abilities/damage (Flame Shock, Ele Overload, Haste)
Tier 2 : Ancestral Guidance seems like the best option, since it can provide a good raid healing help (not as good as MoP, but still helps in burst damage phases).
Tier 3 : Lightning Surge totem can stun targets nicely. In case there are slows needed, earthgrab could also be the choice with root as well.
Tier 4 : Ancestral Swiftness provides +6% Haste.
Tier 5 : Elemental Blast is by far the best choice in raiding situations, due to the stat buffs it grants.
Tier 6 : Echo of the Elements is the talent to go with for raid situations, after the Elemental build got changed.
Tier 7 : I'm currently going with Ascedance, since it adds a great burst and is the most viable option.
Mythic + :

Tier 4 : Ancestral Swiftness provides +6% Haste.
Tier 5 : Primal Elementalist is the best option, since the empowered Fire Elemental deals significant damage and stacks up with haste/bloodlust but also has a small cooldown with the tier sets, really useful for mythic+ bursts.
Tier 6 : Going with Echo of the Elements + Magma Totem due to the Legendary ring, really handy for mythic+ AoE.
Tier 7 : Lightning rod, since the damage buff on Chain Lightning is essential, especially on fortified weeks. If Tyrannical, then Ascedance is the go to as well, depending on the instance.
ST : (Totems – Fire Elemental Totem) – (With Burst) -> Pre-Pot, Pre-cast Elemental Blast, Flame Shock, Berserking/Ascedance and Lava Burst spam (Earth Shock at 100 Maelstrom), Stormkeeper and 3x Lightning bolt, then renew flame shock / lava burst and continue on with lightning bolt as a filler and lava burst on cooldown or proccs. Using Elemental Blast on cooldown of course.
AoE : Flame Shock on Targets, Lava Burst on proccs (3rd Gold Trait adds a nice chance on cleave), Chain Lightning spam (with stormkeeper on CD), earthquake totem at 50 maelstrom.
Alts:Dk (raided with it as main alt in EN, got first kills Ilgynoth and Dragons as tanking because Dk was OP on these fights.)
Hunter
Both were like 880 ilvl back in November.
Professions:Engineering, because it always was the go-to raiding profession and I have it ever since. Not like any profession is useful now or important for raiding (as Engineering was for hands-use for example).
Tailoring for some crafts and mounts.
Raiding Experience:I started playing in the early days of Cataclysm, when I was “recruited” by some in real life friends. Despite that, I’ve taken the game really seriously and constantly played at a high level throughout. Below, a complete and informative list of my feats and accomplishments will be listed :
Cataclysm :
T11 : 13/13H
T12 : 7/7H
T13 : 8/8H
I cleared all Cataclysm content during the Cataclysm expansion (of course, due to me starting in Cataclysm, I was late on the first tier). I have multiple kills on T12 and T13 HC and NM which can be seen on my armory. I used to raid lead weekly Firelands 7/7HC for exceptional people (I also got my Legendary staff during Cataclysm).
MoP :
T14 : 16/16H
T15 : 13/13H
T16 : 14/14H/M
In the start of MoP, I was “semi” playing, due to school days. After that, I went pretty ham, as MoP was my most successful expansion. I cleared all the content on HC multiple times, raid leaded my worldwide famous runs of “Zerg” clears and FoS (Ra’den) which a lot of players from top guilds attended (I will link a lot of screenshots on the “Additional Information” box). I was a member of Apex during ToT – SoO.
WoD :
T17 : 17/17M
T18 : 13/13M
WoD was pretty “casual” for me, as I still played a lot, completed all the raids on HC and Archimonde Cutting Edge @ Christmas, but mostly played for Mount farms, achievements and boost runs (Can be easily justified by my 80 Archimonde HC kills on main).
Legion :
7/7HC – 7/7M with experience/kills on both Shaman and my Dk (Ilgynoth M and Dragons M as tank on early progress).
3/3HC – 1/3M early progress as well.
9/9HC ToS with multiclears since I came back after my long break (9 months, from late November to late 31 of July).
I have also completed every CM since they were implemented with multiple characters.
I have high experience on Raid Leading, leading exceptional runs and organizing PvE events at the highest level.
In all of them, I raided as Elemental with the exception of Spine HC which I was restoration.
Mid-points, I had stopped due to being younger or just having other things to do which meant I attended school and was not over 18. Nowadays I’m a 20 University Student – Scientist at : Department of Applied Mathematics and Physics, at National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
Previous Guilds:In the end of Cataclysm, I was a member of Fun Light (which held one of the world's top spots for a 2 day raiding guild, of course with end content clears). Fun Light disbanded in MoP.
In MoP, I initially transfered to Ravencrest-Alliance and raided for some solid guilds, but I found myself back to Twisting Nether since it was the server I had all my alts and I played my whole life. I was a member of Innominatum for a bit and Apex for most of MoP (SoO farm period which lasted long), also during my exceptional runs and everything. Apex disbanded mid-WoD.
In WoD, I had my own social/boost guild. With people that we used to raid high end, we decided to try and make our own guild project in Legion, which thus far has pretty much failed, because we had like 7-8 really exceptional people (of the best players in our server) but we just couldn't find trials to live up to the expectations, leading in bad mythic progress. Also, some trials had bad manners, which really made us sad and demoralized us. The guild is named and we had some early success (250ish world HC rankings) but nothing more than that, since after the 1st mythic week, some players started underperforming big. The raiding officer team decided to call it game, since we had to devote many hours per day to get new trials and get people together, only to find out that the vast majority of them would need to be replaced. Take into account, that in the logs I listed below, I was raid leading through all of them.
There are some of my old co-raiders and players that we played together, if you need to talk to someone.
In Legion, I raided on and finished EN Mythic content early with the guild, also participated in early ToV progress, but after that quited raiding, since the guild semi-disbanded and merged with another guild. From that point I focused on mythic+ and boosting. I took a break from the start-mid of December until 31 July.
Most of the guilds I've been in, either disbanded or merged. (Fun Light = Disbanded, Apex = Disbanded, In Progress = Merged)
Availability:I'm available at all afternoons and all day during vacation. Will be available during main raid hours 100%. Rest days, depends on my life.
Communication:Yes,yes,yes.
Computer / Connection:Yes, no, big d, yes, no, no, no
Addons/UI:Screenshot :

Off-Addons : NPC Scan, Atlas loot ++ (farm stuff)

Why Iron Edge?Looking to find a guild that has a large and active community while in the same time providing an elite raiding atmosphere in a short schedule, since I cannot devote to raiding a ton of hours any more.
What can I offer Iron Edge?I think I could be a great fit, since you need an Elemental Shaman. I've mained Elemental for my whole life, through high-end raiding, farms, boosts, Immortal runs and timed runs. I've always demoted and spent the most time to maximize my spec and gameplay. I always strive for 99% ranks, best DPS output and mastering my Elemental spec.
I'll bring a very focused mindset, always striving to be better, studying heavily and creating my own simcraft and theorycrafting. I will provide full attendance, 100% reliability and readiness. I also believe that I could help by having 2 alts that are raid ready, for alt raids, boost runs of if needed, for progression.
Always research for tactics and mechanics, starting from Alpha. Close monitoring, check the changes as well. Check videos from Alpha/Beta, check videos from current world top kills. Closely monitor people that play ranged or Elemental as well. Also, checking Twitch Streams for tactics and gameplay. All of these help you make a detailed plan about the fight and have experience before experience. Another important party of preparation is also to fix your desired timer, weak auras, raid addons and probably things you want to look out / time for.
Where did I hear about Iron Edge?WoWprogress
Last Words?I'm a person that always strives to be the best and enjoys exceptional atmosphere in game. That doesn't mean though that I'm not a fun guy to play with, since I'm relaxed and always up for events and talks. In life, I value my Science, family and friends more than everything and I'm always loyal to everything I do.
Time Played : 409 days, 8 hours, 46 minutes, 47 seconds
I can prepare, organize and lead boost runs and their financial stuff, since I've been doing that all my life. I can also provide boss kill videos during progress and recordings.
Logs :
EN M-HC-NM logs (all early) :
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/character/19680694/10/1Take into account that the mythic logs were mostly made on first kills or early kills.
Mythic + logs (Multiple rank 1 world as Elemental scattered along the + difficulties) :
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/character/19680694/9/#metric=dps3You can also find ToS NM-HC logs there. Take into account all of the kills are in pugs, with me leading. There are also some new mythic+ logs you can check out.
I took a 9 month break from the mid of ToV to start of August, due to no motivation playing ToV (I was guildless at this time, as merged with a bit of a lower-tier guild and did not want to follow). I would never quit a guild mid progress, unless something really important happens in my real life, which applies to anybody.
