Hello, Iron Edge!
I am applying for the main raid.
Character: Bolony
Armory: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/Kazzak/BolonyClass/Spec: Shaman (DPS)
Member Type: Raider
Personal Info:Hey guys my name is Mark im 28 years old with German and Bulgarian nationalities. I lived for the past 10 years in Switzerland where I graduated and got my Bachelor degree in hospitality management. My family lives there now, I am currently residing in Bulgaria due to work opportunities. I have my own SaaS startup (I love all things blockchain and tech) and also work in our family business as a sales representative (I love talking with people). During my free time I love to travel, hike, play video games and eat pizza. Also, spacecats are cool!
Class/Spec:Main: Elemental - 476
Offspec: Resto - 470
2nd Offspec (in the making) Enh - 460
I used to play on a private WoTLK server where I fully bis-ed out all ranged dps classes, I started playing on retail again when BFA launched and went shaman because its the only ranged class I didnt play and fell in love with it <3
Stats: I try to balance crit and haste as much as possible, currently around 27% crit and 24% haste. Mastery I try to ignore wherever possible and try to keep versatility at a minimum of 10%, although ive noticed that higher vers does have its dps gains in some situations.
Rotation: 8 sec before pull put down totem, 6 sec before pull use Stormkeeper, 3 sec before pull prepot+on use trinket (currently the manifesto of madness), 2 sec before pull cast Lava Burst and apply Flame Shock after the cast. Then I cast Guardian of Azeroth+Fire Elemental+Earth Elemental (casting earth elemental only if lust is on pull). Then lightning bolt into lava burst into another lightning bolt. If no Lava Surge proc then lightning bolt into lava burst into earth shock, if Lava Surge procs then Lava Burst into Earth Shock. Then Icefury into lava burst into earth shock. Then lightning bolt as a filler inbetween lava burst + frost shock (i try to empower frost shock until it goes into cooldown), otherwise i weave lightning bolt with frost shock. Priority is casting Earth Shock after Lava Burst when possible otherwise use it when Maelstrom is about go fill up (around 92-95). Keep Flame Shock up on as many targets as possible and refresh the dot when its at 6 seconds.
Alts:Mageagain - 465ish Fire Mage
I have four other 120's which I havent played this patch at all due to the grind being unbearable.
Professions:Leatherworking for the good 470 items with socket
Jewelcrafting for the good 470 ring which I havent crafted yet due to having every other possible ring. (I farmed a lot of items from m+, have pretty much every item from 15+)
Raiding Experience:I used to raid 7 times a week on a private WoTLK server where I min maxed everything and fully bis-ed out warlock, mage, priest, boomie, hunter and paladin over 2 and a half years (my favourite expansion). In BFA I get curve early on every patch (except for 8.2 which I didnt play at all due to work), in Uldir I had around 300 pulls on Ghuun but didnt get the CE due to work commitments, was 6/8 because I joined the guild later into the expansion and they had already killed 2 more bosses and only progressed on the last one. BoD 4/9 and stopped after. Then I came back at the end of 8.2 and am currently 3/12. Just as a note, the raid leader was keeping logs private for whatever reason and my kills dont show up from previous patches
Previous Guilds:The Forgotten Kings - best guild on the private server I was on. They disbanded after 10 years of gameplay because of other commitments. We were a family there and had regular meetups outside of WoW.
Dream Infusion - Bad atmosphere in the guild, poor management and bad attitude outside of raiding.
The Dambusters - Bad attitude towards raiding, they have troubles focusing when raiding mythic which drags good players down.
Availability:Available night time after 18:00 server time every day. During Winter I wont be available for a few weeks due to family meetings
Communication:Yes, Yes, and Yes.
Computer / Connection:I have a very good computer. I have no fps issues. My internet connection is stable, I have no ping, dont lag, and very rarely disconnect.
Addons/UI:Bartender-Because of the looks
BigWigs-To know what comes next and prepare for it
Weakauras-To track cooldowns
Details-To check my performance (dps-wise)
Exorsus Raid Tools-To track raid cooldowns and follow raid assignments
Little Wigs-Track abilities
Plater-Better targeting on multiple mobs
Quartz-More precise cast bar for better dps

Currently I play Apex and WoW.
I used to play a lot of other games too, but now I keep it to WoW primarily because its my favourite game.
Why Iron Edge?I want to be part of a community of likeminded players which have a lust to progress into the current raid tier whilst have fun doing so. I want to stay in such a community and create good and strong relationships.
What can I offer Iron Edge?I will always give 110% from myself when raiding because I know that a group is only as strong as its weakest link. I will be prepared for every encounter with knowledge, consumables, and the right attitude. I will attend every raid and do my best to be a good fit for the community.
