Social Application - Death Knight (DPS) - Griévous (XR)

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying to be a social member.

Character: Griévous
Server: Gehennas
Armory: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/Gehennas/Gri%C3%A9vous
Class/Spec: Death Knight (DPS)
Member Type: Social

Personal Info:

Jake, 30, cannot disclose (I work though), I have played wow since 2006, mainly as a warrior dps. I played up until cata launch then quit as I was in high school at this time and had to quit or I would have no certified education

I came back when classic came around and at that time was off work with the craziness that was covid, I hardcore raided on 2 warriors and 2 rogues.

I skipped tbc because i played on some non legal servers before classic launch and I was on TBC so took a break then came back to play DK in wotlk which I raided every bit of content until my guild killed LK then I took a break.

When I am not raiding, I am fishing as i find it kind of relaxing, if I am not relaxing I am probably doing arena's (have been gladiator a few times but I am older now and don't play that hardcore anymore)

In my off time I play Destiny 2 with close irl friends and overwatch 2.

if you have any other questions please feel free to hit me up, I am leveling my Archaeology up (never did this proffession) so i will be scooting around Kalimdor!

Also very interested in completing glory of the icecrown raider so even if I am not a fit for the guild hit me up if you're doing any of that good stuff just need LK achievements and heroic full clear!

-Peace

Class/Spec:

I purposely came back to wotlk because DK was being brought in, I have always wanted to play the class but I was locked in as the warrior during my time back in the day. I was level 70 day 2 of prepatch and I haven't looked back since!

I love the class fantasy of Unholy Deathknight, I love the gameplay of Unholy (I played with a 2h throughout wrath hate me if you want) and now with Cata I get to play one of if not the greatest rendition of Unholy, it is an interesting high skill cap spec that I will enjoy mastering as I go into cata to do content I have never done!

Alts:

I have a level 80 Paladin, Rogue, Hunter, Warlock and soon Warrior

Professions:

Engineering and Jewel-crafting, I was min maxing my main for wrath but I enjoyed being able to cut my own gems too as my rogue had herb alchemy to make pots and transmute for me, my Hunter mined for me so yeah I could take 2 crafting professions though I will probably drop Jewel crafting for Mining as I will really only have time to play 1 character come cata

Raiding/PVP Experience:

I have raided all content in classic from MC to ICC ( actually lying I haven't done ruby sanctum in classic but had completed 25hc back in the day, I hate those lazer beams ) PvP experience I have been rank 13 on warrior, I have been Gladiator back when TBC was current content during s3 and s4. My DK in Wrath has been 2k rated in 2 seasons but played with guildies who didn't play much pvp. I am not really sure what else to add here

Previous Guilds:

<Core> who I played with partially in classic vanilla, then at the end of tbc, through into wotlk, I left after we had LK down as a lot of life stuff happened, the guild disbanded a few weeks later as I feel almost everyone was as burnt out as I was and sadly it became a raid-logging guild rather than a "Guild"

Availability:

Great question, to be decided I am unsure right at this moment of time as things are changing about of me work wise but hopefully I'll never be missing a raid, I had 90% attendance with my previous guild missing week rarely

Communication:

It's the only language I speak sadly

Computer / Connection:

I have a pretty top end machine I built myself, 240fps 12ms ping i'd say i've about a 99% uptime though I do live in the country side which means if a bad storm (maybe once every 3-4 years) my electric or internet can get knocked out but that's pushing it. other than that stable

Addons/UI:

DBM/Atlas/Details/Diminish(DR tracker)/Dominos/Fojji/Kui/Method raid/dungeon tools/omniCC/Pallypower/Plater/Shadowed unit frames/ Weakaura's - All raid imports with Fojji (guildie bought it and shared with all) Sarthe's DK hud (amazing) Slices UH gargoyle buffs.

A lot of this can and will change as currently Cata is in disarray for what add0ns work and don't

Other Games:

As stated I do play other games, Mostly destiny 2 (Friday night flawless runs in trials of Osiris and raids with the boys Irl friends) I also play Overwatch 2, I dabble in old school Runescape as well for Nostalgia, plus tonnes of single player games, recently played Baudlurs gate 3 (just wow) and have Cyberpunk 2077 to run now that it's not a complete crash site

Why Iron Edge?

Great question, I enjoy being somewhere that isn't just a raid-logging hellscape, i'd like to join a guild that enjoys just being on coms together, meet new people and raid in a relaxed preferably laughing (if you find my Irish banter funny) discord group while doing current or old content.

you guys seem to be an old school group that managed to keep it together through the many storms and if anything that says more about you than a 120 character message spammed into trade chat and your early 2000's style website gives me rose tinted binocular's

What can I offer Iron Edge?

Maximum effort when it comes to performance, I am competitive enough to want to do the best I can possibly do and you will see that with my progression as I master unholy through the expansion.

A good attitude and positive, constructive input. I am very self aware, so when I am doing something wrong, or if explained what it is that I am doing wrong I accept it, adapt and overcome. I am very situationally aware and record myself playing when I am doing new content, as I find it the most effective way to learn what I am doing well and what I am doing wrong.

I am a joker, I enjoy making people laugh even at my own expense, I get involved and I think that's probably the most I can offer when it comes to playing with a guild.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge?

Last Words?

Hi Jake,

Thanks for applying. I feel like we should play 20 questions to find out your occupation, but we'll ease you in first!
I can't guarantee that raidlogging won't become a thing in cata. Gone are the days where we would be on every night after school... but we're more than just a cata classic guild as you can see!

We're aiming for a 25man roster for cata if we can. You're welcome to join us on this endeavour should you wish it.

Welcome!
