Hello, Iron Edge!
I am applying to be a social member.
Character: Dax
Server: Frostmane
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Frostmane/Dax/advancedClass/Spec: Priest (DPS)
Member Type: social
Personal Info:Howdy all! I'm Martin, aged 49 (gulp!!), married and I'm a carer of 2 disabled kids. I live on the Wirral in the UK.
I come from a network infrastructure / server background and in my last job managed circa 200 servers which was kind of fun. I'm a self confessed IT and technology geek.
Class/Spec:I'm currently playing shadow because I did a lot of solo play and it made soloing and questing much easier. Shadow is the most fun, but back in the day I used to get the most satisfaction out of holy.
I'm intrigued to see what Legion brings to the Holy spec.
Alts:I don't currently play any alts. I've had this character since vanilla WoW!
Professions:Herbalism 700
Mining 700
Fishing 700
Raiding/PVP Experience:Have completed HFC HC. I took a break for about 12 months because we had switched from a desktop gaming system to a Steam Big Picture setup, but I am back to a desktop setup again, and returned to WoW in May.
I do very little PvP (despite currently being on a PvP server!) It's really not my cup of tea if I'm honest.
Previous Guilds:Harmony
I haven't yet left, but I'm looking for a guild where I can join as a social and then maybe progress to raiding. I'm not hellbent on becoming a hardcore raider, but I would like to get the opportunity to learn the encounters in the new expansion at the same time as everyone else, rather than trying to play catch up as I did when I returned in May. It's always nice to learn new stuff together.
Harmony currently only has 1 raid leader, which makes getting into the Mythic progression team difficult. They only raid HFC HC for 3 hours on a Monday evening.
Availability:I'm around most of the time. Having 2 disabled kids can sometimes create mini drama in real life, but it's very rare!
Communication:I'm a native English speaker. I'm familiar with Teamspeak and Discord. I have a Rode NT-USB microphone, and I tend to speak when I need to rather than chatter chatter chatter!
Computer / Connection:I have a mid-high end desktop PC. Core i7, 16Gb RAM, GTX970 500Gb SSD etc.
No fps issues, and 74Mb internet connection which is rock solid - probably will crap out now I have said that!
Addons/UI:I use DBM, Exorsus, Iskar Assist, Raven, Skada, Weakauras 2.
I also use GTFO as I have a tendency to stand in the bad stuff :-p
UI screenshot :
http://i.imgur.com/Bky63ck.jpgI use Elvui raid frames, and I've started to play around with Holy spec and I use Healbot raid frames for that.
Other Games:I don't play any other online games currently. I spent an enormous amount of my life on the original Everquest which is still my favourite game to this day and holds a lot of nostalgia!
WoW was the only game that managed to tear me away from EQ.
Why Iron Edge?I've been looking for a UK based guild, with an element of maturity about it. I'd like to think I could join as a social member and then progress to raiding. I don't like to rush through content - I'm not the type to race to get from 90-100 for example, I prefer to take the game in and enjoy it for what it is - a game and not a job :-)
What can I offer Iron Edge?I'm always glad to help out - I'm mature and sensible (the two don't always go hand in hand!)
I have a lot of playtime when there are entertaining things to do in game :-)
Where did I hear about Iron Edge?I did a search for a UK based WoW guild, and had a read of your website. I like the fact that you're a mature guild and not some flash in the pan. Your guild reminds me a lot of my old guild in Everquest (Raging Fury) - they were mainly Scandinavian based, but they had a good sense of comeradery and they also did real life meet ups.
Last Words?It's always difficult trying to sell yourself! I like the social aspect of being in a guild, and I'd like the opportunity to progress to regular raiding with a bit of luck.
Would be nice to have a nice, tight knit, friendly guild to experience Legion from the start with!
Oh, and I can make chocolate cookies :-)
