Title: [Hardcore Raid] Druid (DPS) - Vatlaaw (XR) [Accepted]
Post by: Applicant on August 31, 2011, 01:53:54 am
Hello, Iron Edge!

Character: Vatlaaw
Server: Silvermoon
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Silvermoon/Vatlaaw/advanced
Class/Spec: Druid (DPS)
Raid: Hardcore Raid

Personal Info:

My name is jack, I am an 18 year old college student who lives in Manchester England.

Spec:

I am using balance and feral pvp atm but I can use feral tank or resto offspec. I have raided with both in the past but my feral tank gear isnt up to scatch ffor heroic firelands raiding atm as I have got no offspec loot.

Class:

For stats I prio hit too the cap of 1742, then I stack as much haste as I can, if possible I try and retain as much mastery as I can whilst loosing as much crit as possible.

My rotation is keep my dots up on the target> Starsurge > The correct nuke according to my eclipse bar.
My starfall I try to use on cooldown but if possible on a lunar eclipse. Altho if there are multiple targest at some points in a given fight I will save it for that.
I try to use my treants as many times as I can in a fight altho I try to use them just before heroism so they get buffed.

Alts:

All these alts are on silvermoon
Heavymissile - 85 dk
Dekoran- 85 mage
Bloodmire- 85 rogue
Toragon - 85 hunter
Suddendeath - warrior
Zathos - 82 shaman


Professions:

525 inscription
525 alchemy

Raid Experience:

I only started playing towards the end of wrath but I managed to pug 12/12 in ICC. In T11 I joined a more hardcore raiding guild and got 6/13 heroic. In T12 so far I have 7/7 and 3/7 heroic ( shannox, lord ryolith and majordomo)

Previous Guilds:

Praetorian guard- Left as they were not raiding as seriously as I wanted too and the progress wasn't where I wanted it.

Armory- I want to leave as I have wanted to raid 25 man's for a while and our guild raids have started to have huge amounts of slacking and many raids are being called.

Availability:

I am available from 7 server time till 1 sevrer time and on weekends from 2 till 1.

Communication:

Yes I am very proficient in English, I have teamspeak 3 and can listen well and I also have a mic which I am comfortable using.

Computer / Connection:

Yes my computer is good I bought it about 6 months ago, I cant speak for my ping on dunemaul but on silvermoon a very high population server I have very good ping and rarely disconnect. I also have very high fps my average is around 60 in normal graphics settings

Addons/UI:

Here is a link to the picture of mu ui.

Other Games:

I only really play call of duty on occasion.

Why Iron Edge?

I want to join iron edge as your progress is similar to mine, your raid days are perfect for me, your recruitment post/ website look great and organised, you have a dedicated pvp team and I am interested in that and your have 2 raid teams which means you will have a large community.

What can I offer Iron Edge?

I can offer a dedicated skilled boomkin, who is always prepared for raid, on time with all consumable's. I am very aware and don't slack during raids. I always strive to perform the best I can and am very competitive. Most importantly I am a fun guy who loves to have a laugh and do may other in game activities other than raiding.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge??

wow progress

Last Words?

I was just wondering if you do any alt raids also.

Heya!  Great app.

Curious that you've killed Majordomo as the 3rd (?) boss.  Did you do it on 10m?  Is he really easier than the other bosses on 10m?  Or you tried him for some other reason? ;)

As for alt raids... we don't really have anything official as far as alt raids go.  There's a few ad hoc raids that happen each week.  They're always looking for more people to fill the gaps :)

Have you raided any 25m before, btw?  I know some of our guys have awesome fps in 10m, but really get hit hard in 25, especially in Firelands.

Hello Jack, thanks for applying.

We are using one moonkin in raid atm and there is always spot for second one.
Your gear and Firelands experience is matching our current progress.
About alts, we have some alt run almost every week(its usually 10 man run).

@ kesh

Friend of mine got majordomo heroic 10 man down in 2 tries :> Said it was probably one of the easiest :)

OT:

Seems like a decent application, good luck :)

re majordomo, I was told there was some bug that made you able to just zerg him down in scorpion the whole fight through by some talnivarr mejts - might've been why he was so easy!

Post by: Skymunken on August 31, 2011, 10:11:15 am
Think the bug was that his thing that makes him harder the longer you stay in a phase didn't go up or some shit, so you could just tank him in scorpion phase 1 all the time.

Might be wrong though.

For the application, looks like a really good guy, would be a nice addition to our raid.

You could maybe keep him in p1 all the time if you kited him around, so he never slashed you :P

Wonder what the actual method is..

Was this not the hunter pet tactic, that was nerfed a couple of weeks after?

Maybe!  I still want to try running around like a Benny Hill movie.  It'd be better than my AWESOME shannox tactic!

Yes I killed majordomo in 10 man although the bug your talking about was patch a couple of weeks ago I think. We just kept it in cat form most of the time and reset at 7 stacks, was quite easy once we got used to the fight, it was much easier than lord ryolith but not shannox.

In answer to your fps question I have attended some 25 man gdkp runs on my server and my fps was around 30-40 in normal settings.

Hey, ive just got an update to my application. Tonight I was asked to heal as one went social today and one left on tues. I did used to play resto in T11 so I do know what im doing but I found it quite fun again. I kept up healing wise with what I know to be 2 very skilled healers. So if needed I would be happy to be a backup healer depending if your guild needs one or not.
