Hello, Iron Edge!
I am applying for the main raid.
Character: Brimen
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Brimen/advancedClass/Spec: Warlock (DPS)
Member Type: raider
Personal Info:Hello, my name is Jon, and I live in Tromsø, Norway. I am a educated safety and environmental engineer, and currently working within this field.
Class/Spec:Currently I am playing affliction, as it is the best warlock dps specc for several fights in current tier and it got great survivability and self-sustain. I am extremely capable in all warlock speccs, if neccessary.
Equiped I have 954 itemlevel, with UA (860). I sim 1440k, although thats a very low estimate.
I run differnt talents and gearsets for different encounters in raid and dungeons. Especially in higher keys its vital to always be able to perform the best and most effective damage, whilst surviving the affixes/mechanics.
As Affliction in raiding.
For ST : Mastery => haste -> crit -> vers -> int. Using agony head and execute ring.
For heavy AoE (sephuz and dungeons mostly): Crit and haste, by far. Seed of corruption not gaining benefit from mastery, so mastery looses value on aoe.
ST rotation start: agony, corruption, UA (2nd UA if conc or trinket procc) Deadwind harvester, Drain. Reapply corruption and agony with 25% duration left, into 1 or 2 UA, depending on proccs.
Midfight rotation (very depending on different proccs. Like SS procc from agony, UA reapply procc from artifact, tormented souls from draining/mob deaths, trinket/concordance proccs):
Refresh agony and corruption below 25% duration. UA only when I got souls for Deadwind harvester into Drain soul. Double UA if trinket/conc proccs.
Usualy on raid bosses we lack tormented souls, so double UA is sometimes cast without proccs to fit into the Deadwind harvester windows.
Currently with execute ring, it could be wise to save some SS for execute phase, depending on if boss is on farm or progress. Although keeping on UA for contagion is also beneficial through the fight.
Alts:Name, class. Ilevel Profficient in current roles:
Rayleighh, Monk. 965 tank/healer and dps
Newtun, shaman. 965 healer and elem
Ewox, DH. 935 Tank and dps
Deivyjones, Druid. 965 Balance
Cekal, DK. 947 Unholy
Ronse, Mage. 965 Arcane and fire
Ive played most of these characters alot, especially in dungeons. I dont consider myself an alt-man, but I am very comfortable on all these classes and speccs.
Professions:Blacksmithing and tailoring. Remnants of MoP era, may demonology reign supreme again.
Raiding Experience:I've always raided casually through the different expansions in various degrees of hardcorenes.
Back in Dragon soul I played a ret paladin. Despite missing the BiS haste ring from random bossdrop for several months after progress was over, and without an extremely good raidteam to push the encounter timers, I had top 10 parses on every single bossfight. I could call myself the best retpaladin in that raid tier, and there wouldnt be many to deny me. In MoP I raided with friends, casually going through the content. Pugging SoO and ToT every week and having fun boosting ppl for gold in Challange mode. We even raked up a Realm best time in Scarlet Halls. That mistwalker title is so sweet.
WoD was a dryspell, as for many. In Legion however ive been playing alot, mostly in dungeons with several characters throuh the expansion. In Nighthold I raided as an elem shaman, killing maybe 6 bosses on mythic, in a very casual guild. Tomb was not enjoyable, IMO, and I stayed away from raiding during that period.
Recently, ive invogorated my need for a stable and progressing guild to have fun and kill new bosses in a raid, which is very enjoyable. Everyone and their mum got AotC these days, and I dont have any mythic boss experience in current tier. But I have the mind for progress and the drive to see the demise of Argus mythic within a few months.
Previous Guilds:Halcyon, Kazzak. During nighthold we raided casually. The officers eventually quit going into ToS, so i found a new guild.
Syndicate, Kazzak. Quickly cleared heroic Tomb with a small core. Left due to burnout/not interesting raidtier. Too punishing on mythic, so I didnt want to raid on that level.
Availability:Currently I am available for raiding every night of the week, and I have no unexpected things that can collide with the raidtimes.
Communication:My English should be up to par both written and verbal.
Got teamspeak 3 and Microphone.
Computer / Connection:1 year old computer, never disconnected from WoW or internet as of yet. No unannounced electric shutdowns in this city. I have a internet Cable plugged to my router, so no wireless issues.
60 ping on kazzak. Never lagged before either, only during server issues.
Addons/UI:DBM, bartender, DejaCS, Omnicc, Quartz, Shadowed unit frames, Skada, TMW. Currently using tmw cus provides me when the information I need. If needed I can use weakauras instead. Its not an issue.
If I ever miss a mechanic or ability due to not having WA, I will instantly get WA. Ill do anything to enhance my performance.

Why Iron Edge?I am looking for a progression guild with 2 days per week of raiding. Dont get me wrong, i play the game all other nights of the week aswell, but during those days I usually do higher keys or play on alts with my friends. Iron Edge looks like a proper guild with a good atmosphere (evident from the guild gathering photos).
What can I offer Iron Edge?A mentality of a progression raider, always pushing the dps checks and encounter abilites. I pride myself of never failing on encounters, never dying to ruiner or orbs and having never spread necrotic embrace or other wipe-abilites before. I try optimise my gear and talents for the appropriate encounter. Simming differnt items to find values for differnt gearsets and talents. I have 5 gearsets I rotate on through a higher dungeon key, using each Legendary to my advantage when it is possible. You wont see me with execute ring equiped on Helya or Odin (dungeonversions).
I dont have a girlfriend or kids to interfere with the raidtimes and I will have a 100% attendance, along with the neccessary preparations for each raid.
Where did I hear about Iron Edge?Wowprogress list of guilds on Kazzak.
Last Words?I am very well aware of my non-existing mythic progression for Argus, but I am a fast learner and experienced player in general with far too many days played than I maybe should have had. Ive set my sights on a trial spot in this guild, and then you can find out if I am worthy and good enough to help you defeat Argus mythic in the end.
