Personal Information
Hello there! My name is James and I am 20 years old, currently living in England. Not much to tell really, I work out alot and recently decided to take up golfing which up to now, I love it! I work in the printing industry and have done for the past 2 years, it's fun and it pays the bills!
Character Information
I play a Female Orc Rogue (doh), not actually sure what I was thinking when I picked this race but anyway, I'm still here. I am currently using 15/51/5 (http://eu.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=4&tal=00532000500000000000000000002520510500350102231005012515000000000000000000000000000) which is pretty much the pve raiding spec to use, other than 18/51/2 which I have tried but came out better off with my current spec. My gear is quite average as I still lack the 4pc set bonus and I have a sucky main hand weapon, bad luck is my excuse :-p. I have also just upgraded all of my gem sockets to epic gems for that little extra boost.
My tradeskills are Jewelcrafting and Herbalism both being at maximum skill level, I have most rare gem recipes and meta's and I am currently building up my collection of epic recipes. Secondary skills; Cooking, Fishing and First Aid are all also at 450 skill level.
Played time: 121 days, 25 days at level 80

Raiding
I have only recently recently moved back to Dunemaul as I have played on Runetotem for the past 18 months. I did not play pre-TBC therefore I have no real experience there other than level 70-80 raids on onyxia and AQ. During TBC with my previous guilds Blacklight and Riddlebox I cleared SSC, TK, Hyjal and Black Temple, also killing up to Felmyst pre-nerf.
WOTLK:
Naxxramas - Cleared both 10 and 25 man
Obsidian Sanctum - Cleared both 10 and 25 man
Eye of Eternity - Cleared both 10 and 25 man
Vault of Archavon - Cleared both 10 and 25 man
Ulduar 10 - killed everything but General and Yogg Saron (Ignis, XT, Kologarn hard modes complete.)
Ulduar 25 - Killed everything but Yogg Saron (Orbituary, Ignis and Kologarn hard modes complete.)
Coliseum - Icehowl deaded.
More specific times:
Here's where it gets complicated (sort of).
Mondays: 18.00-00.00
Tuesdays: 18.00-00.00
Wednesdays: 18.00-00.00
Thursdays: 18.00-00.00
Fridays: 18.00-00.00
Saturday: Whenever required in the day but I prefer to take it easy over the weekends, usually nursing my hangovers.
Sundays: 18.00-00.00
The thing is, I work rotating shifts which change weekly, these being 06.00-14.00 and 14.00-22.00, I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it, this basically means every other week I will be unable to raid, but the week I am able to raid I'll be there without fail. The guilds I have been in have managed to work around this and all going well I hope you would be able to do the same.
Gaming (optional) and World Of Warcraft history.
I first started online gaming when my IRL friend persuaded me to buy counter strike source, which I did, absolutely loved the game ended up playing in decent online tournaments and leagues doing well. I played this for about 2 years when my friend then began fading from the CS:S scene playing WoW so I, again decided to try it out and join him. Here is where I managed to create my at the time male orc (lol) rogue and stuck at it up to level 70, took me a considerable amount of time but I got there. I then joined a guild called Insane who were a decent bunch of guys at the time but then the guld basically turned into a turkish speaking guild so the best thing I could do was leave. I then got taken into Blacklight and had awesome times raiding SSC and TK until things got slack and the guild broke up, leaving me homeless and unable to find a home anywhere else. This is when I decided to leave the server and go to Runetotem which is where I joined Riddlebox and learnt ALOT raiding wise, clearing up to Felmyst in SWP in TBC and up to Yogg Saron in Ulduar. Things then got very slack and I missed Dunemaul alot, I got in touch with an old friend Ghostfx and he offered me a trial spot in Equilibrium, which is where I did most of the hardmodes I have completed plus killed Icehowl.
Why do you want to join Iron Edge?
If I'm honest, I've always wanted to join Iron Edge since back in TBC as you guys were always where I wanted to be - end game, which is where you still are, doing hard modes which again is what I want to be doing, in a friendly environment. Raiding is what I play WoW for, I don't really care for epics, they just come as a bonus to me, if that makes sense at all, and I'm currently sat guildless in Orgrimmar.
What can I offer to Iron Edge?
I can offer Iron Edge a highly dedicated raider with a very good knowledge of my class. I turn up for raids without fail fully repaired and fully prepared with flasks, food, bandages, health potions, haste potions, fish feasts for the raid if I have farmed any, and full focus for the full duration of the raid. I also regularly check the likes of elitist jerks for ways to improve my gear/dps etc.
Last words?
I believe you are in search of a rogue and I believe, given the chance that I could be your man. Hopefully I didn't miss anything off, pretty sure I didn't. I look forward to your desicion.
Thanks,
Jaméss

lol ORC ! give him ! MORE ORCs !
-
Tauren rogue? :)
-
Thanks for the app!
You have poor gear, experience and only 25 days at 80 -- sounds like a casual to me...!
Our raid is hardly 'hardcore', but we're still a little more hardcore than that, I think :)
-D
-
Fair points really. Regarding the played time, I stopped playing for a few months when I hit 80 just because I needed a break, but don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
-
Good to know :P
-
What teams did you play for in CSS?
-
B-raid is looking for a rogue. We're not all that B, honest (myself excluded).
-
He is called James. That has to count for something!
We were looking for a new bob(oh Qwameut, where art thou) just yesterday....
-
Monstar, I played for a fairly unknown team named zeta and played alot of pugs with another team called myski.
I think I remember someone called monstar from when I was playing, could it be you? :-p
-
If the monstar your thinking of was good at css then it wasnt him :D
-
so true..
-
If the monstar your thinking of was good at css then it wasnt him :D

I have a question, just wondering if the following quote is my application being straight up declined as I'm not sure what to think! :-)

We're going into Coliseum hardmodes next week dude, and your DPS would be way, way off the rest of the raid -- it just wouldn't work.
Maybe the B raid wants a rogue...!
-
That's cool mate, and yeah I'd be up for the that if they want me!
-
They feast upon our rejects!
-
Come to think of it, B raid will suit me alot more with the 2 day raid week with my job making my life hell, really. :P
-
They feast upon our rejects!
LIES AND SLANDER!
Because every now and then we get someone awesome that you miss! Like Theel or Yjnar or ME! MWAAAAAAHAHAHAHHA!
Anyway, most of your application looks good, but your stated raid times looks suspect.
"The thing is, I work rotating shifts which change weekly, these being 06.00-14.00 and 14.00-22.00, I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it, this basically means every other week I will be unable to raid, but the week I am able to raid I'll be there without fail. The guilds I have been in have managed to work around this and all going well I hope you would be able to do the same."
What does that mean? That even with us only raiding Mondays and Tuesdays, you till we be only able to raid every other week? ???
-
Unfortunately that's right, i work 1 week doing 06.00-14.00 which I can raid then the following week I work 14.00-22.00 which I'm unable to raid. As much of a pain it is, there's simply nothing I can do about it. :(

Forgive me if I seem like I'm being impatient - it is moreso curiousity, but I feel like I have been somewhat forgotten :-p. I spoke to Hugman on thursday night (I think!) but have heard nothing since. Any sort of insight would be awesome.
Regards.
-
Slacking B raid leaders! I'll poke them if I get a chance.
-
That would be great mate.
-
Oh hi! This is what happens when we get a triallist that we're not really sure what we want to do with, I apologize for the long wait.
Now, a maximum attendance of 50% is pretty poor as you're probably aware of, and we're afraid that when the time comes where we fill up the rogue class, we'd still be missing half a rogue. Basically, you'd be taking up the spot of a potential 80%+ raider.
Hugman and I have had a word about this, and we'd like to trial you starting tonight IF you will be okay with other rogues being prioritized over yourself when the time comes (and it's coming fast!)
I'm sorry, but I think this is the best we can do with regard to your foreseen low attendance :/
DO YOU STAY OR DO YOU GOOOO ?

Yes mate, I understand that my attendance will be well -- crap really, but yes, I would like to trial for you guys and yes, prioritizing more active rogues over me is no problem as it's more of a benefit.
