Title: Social Application - Death Knight (DPS/Tank) - Maxxington
Post by: Applicant on October 19, 2017, 05:17:57 pm
Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying to be a social member.

Character: Maxxington
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Maxxington/advanced
Class/Spec: Death Knight (DPS/Tank)
Member Type: social

Personal Info:

Name: Maximilian (most people just say Max tho, which I prefer anyway)
Age: (yet!) 22, soon to be 23
Location: Linz/Austria
Work: I study Theoretical Physics in Linz, and currently am in my 7th (=1st Master) Semester.

Class/Spec:

Coming back after almost 3 years, I thought Shadow priests to be especially interesting both Gameplay- and Lore wise. I still think they are, yet do not really enjoy them, especially after noticing, that the Disc Specc (which I enjoyed too) has been changed completely.

Thus, I went back to Unholy DK, which I spent a fair share of time with in MoP. I generally like the theme of it, as well as the many possibilities the specc brings to the table in PvP. I am also planning to man up for Blood, because I want to give Tanking a try.

Alts:

Apart from my Death Knight, I still have that ol' Shadow Priest rocking it at level 105.

Professions:

Herbalism/Alchemy - I just started with it though, so I don't have a whole lot to offer yet.

Raiding/PVP Experience:

Before quitting around mid-MoP I was a pretty much exclusive PvPer, mainly playing Mage and Uh-DK. (I don't remember the ratings exactly - I think it was around 2k in 3s on both classes, and 2.1k in 2s with the DK).
I never really enjoyed playing rated BG, mainly because I didn't have a constant group. The last time i played them with any seriousness was back in Cataclysm.

Previous Guilds:

I have been an active member in a few guilds, before I quitted the game, and still am in contact with some people who grew especially dear to me. On Kazzak, I just joined a random one to take profit of the Guild perks like sweet 15min Hearthstones.
Since my character is capped now, I am looking for a more consistent community, simply because I always enjoyed being able to socialize via VoIP with a steady group.

Availability:

A hard question to answer, because I do not have fixed schedules - however if I sign up to participate to some (Guild-) event, I will be there for sure.

Communication:

I am fluent in written and spoken english and german, and speak a little bit of spanish as well (though not really good anymore.) As for VoIP, I am on TS, Discord and Skype. I do have a microphone and use it quite regularly.

Computer / Connection:

On my current settings (higher Medium) WoW runs at around 80-100 fps. My ping is around 30 on Kazzak, which seems to be kind of the limit based on my location -  I've had that ping even before upgrading my internet plan. If a connection issue occurs, it is mainly because the service provider is doing some maintenance job, which shouldnt be an issue, because they only occur once a month at max and are mostly done in the morning.

Addons/UI:

As I have just  rejoined the game, and am still working on gearing up while doing some pvp, my UI is rather minimalistic.

All relevant key bindings are shown. The macros are mostly used to account for focus-targets and pet management.

Other Games:

I play a fair share of League of Legends (@Gold V), mainly with RL friends.

Why Iron Edge?

I saw someone in Trade Chat, advertising for the guild, and that it has a website. Without much expectation, i checked it out and found it to be actually well maintained and written in good humor. With that in mind, I decided to give it a go, since, as mentioned earlier, I was looking for a consistent guild and a well-made website normally is a sign of well dedicated people.

What can I offer Iron Edge?

A friendly and open minded character, with a joy for science, followup jokes and chocolate cake. I am still working on finding my way back into the game, which just takes a little time. After that, I would like to try out Raiding, and also get back into more serious (however serious it can be) PvP.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge?

Trade Chat (though the message has already passed by being pulled into the endless void of /2, making it impossible to determine the poster.)

Last Words?

If Phoenixflame is reading this: Will me being a proud Golden Retriever owner get me extra credit, or no?

I'm afraid we require photographic evidence of such claims.

OP delivers (though only as a link - the picture is too big for a forum on the interwebs)
