Personal InformationName: Yan
Age: 24
Location: Oxfordshire, England
Brief details: I've been playing MMO's since I was 14 (ultima online), moved onto Anarchy Online at 16 and WoW at 18. As I've grown MMO's have grown with me and my role in them. My life has adapted suitably to balance MMO's with real life. p.s. My wife also plays wow and will be applying after me (Myerni Priest Disc / Holy).
Character InformationMy gear can be seen here:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Stormscale&cn=yesuareI play as Blood tanking. I am open to taking any tanking spec that will help push progress more reliably. However from my experience research and preference blood does this job best.
I enjoy offspecing for DPS when it is required. On a standstill fight I will push 9k as unholy or 10k as frost. (my DPS offspec gear still needs work average item lvl is 251).
My Character started out on Jaedenar raiding with Unity (now named Dimension). During some holiday time for my Honeymoon the guild split (now reformed). As it split I took the opportunity to reroll on Stormscale... erm because I followed a friend who's an Athene fan.
Once my reroll made 80 I transfered my DK over for more raiding. Now on Stormscale after the lack of any Raiding guilds to suit my play times I created my own guild with my Wife. My IRL friend now has GM over the guild while my Wife and I are officers there.
You can see me featured in any world of logs report for the zoo as I am the log keeper.

Gaming (optional) and World Of Warcraft historyI started gaming at 14 playing Ultima Online where I really dont remember what I achieved. I remember I had the deed to build a keep but couldnt place it due to lack of land space lol.
At 16 I moved on to play Anarchy Online with a girl I met at college (now my wife). We got our characters to the max levels and raided all end game content with the best guild of our faction (Storm) on Rubi Ka 1.
At 18 We stopped playing Anarchy Online and started with WoW for the Vanilla Retail Release. We started on Burning Legion where we raided MC. I lead raids with a guild named 'The Hylar'. It was more of a Casual turn raider guild, We downed Ragnaros very late in the day after I had already started leveling a new Character on Haomarush (a new server back then).
Once my reroll (horde warrior) was 60 I joined Incorporated as a tank. I raided with them through MC and well into BWL. As we got to Nefarion drama started after Nefarion became a real wall for the guild. I jumped ship to avoid the Drama and joined Envy the top guild of the server and joined them in time for the Server First Nefarion kill. (oh forgot to mention my wife was with me during this still).
We did the BWL / MC grind for months and eventually people started quiting / burnout and we made a reroll project to Vek'nilash.
On Vek'nilash we joined Windwalkers as a Rogue and Rogue then shortly after joining Xfered over a priest / mage as they required those classes more. We raided through AQ getting Server first C'thun and went through Naxx40 with them up to 4 horseman. At this time Curse xfered to Vek'nilash and we no longer had our server first ranking however we still progressed through Naxx40 at a high world ranking especailly given our fresh server state making us considerably under geared to the competition.
I did not join Windwalkers with the last 3 bosses in Naxx 40 as I could no longer make the raid times after a real life change (new job, I've been in this job now for over 3 years).
After a break I leveled 2 chars up to 70 in TBC but did no significant raiding.
After WOTLK release I leveled my DK as my first 80 and began raiding with him (used to be male draenie). I joined a casual raiding guild and helped push their progression with my previouse raiding experience. Once geared though I applied to the Server first guild (Unity). My wife and I both got accepted to unity where we raided Up until the completion of Ulduar where we took a break for our wedding and the completion of some renovation work we had ongiong with our house that we bought the year before.
This brings me up to date. After our honeymoon the guild split (now reformed). As it split I took the opportunity to reroll on Stormscale... erm because I followed a friend who's an Athene fan.
Once my reroll made 80 I transfered my DK over for more raiding. Now on Stormscale after the lack of any Raiding guilds to suit my play times I created my own guild with my Wife. My IRL friend now has GM over the guild while my Wife and I are officers there.
Why do you want to join Iron Edge?I had hoped to make The Zoo a hardcore raiding guild however our recruitment has not been strong enough (an issue with starting a guild so late in the expantion (began the guild 5th December). This is the reason I want to migrate away and join 'a HPG'.
Why Iron Edge? Simple. While googling for the issues im experiencing in my guild I came accross Seb's blog and I really like how Seb thinks and writes. I figure therefor that Iron Edge must be a nice place to raid and looking at how long your guild has been going a steady place to raid. Now that my wife and I are settled in our own house and keeping a normal routine with no surprises it is my dream to be in a good guild where we can really become part of the community.
I see us staying through the grind between Now and Cataclysm and then having the excitement and fun of the new expansion until whatever happens next.
What can I offer to Iron Edge?I've always been good with tactics and being able to lead people forward. This is the job of a tank. I dont know who leads your raids but I bet if its Delling then he doesnt want to be telling the tanks what to do. Tanks need to know the encounter and know what to do without being told. They need to call for calldowns when they need them and tell people to GTFO if their only route with a firebreathing dragon is through that missplaced boomkin.
TLDR; good player good brain, communicates well. Oh and I keep up to date with class mechanics and best play techniques.
Last words?I am applying in the knowledge that you probably arent desperate for a new tank. Keep my application at hand and if you need me before I'm level 85 let me know. It will be fun to be in a great guild for the Cataclysm progress.
