Title: [Casual Raider] - Xr?s - Hunter [Accepted]
Post by: Xr on September 07, 2011, 01:22:05 pm
Personal Information
Hi, I guess to get the formals out the way, my name is Simon, im 21 and am from England. My job has random hours during the day sometimes ending at 6 uk time being the latest I can work till but only takes 15 - 20 min to get back to my pc, id also like to say here that Sidestep works for me. Im sure side will somehow bring up that I am half german, i know germans are not always seen for their sense of humour, but my humour comes from my british side and then is poisoned by my german side so that it has become sick and twisted in some aspects.

Character Information
My name is Xr?s, I have been called many things but Xris(chris) is the one that has stuck.
My gear can be seen here: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/dunemaul/xr%C3%ADs/simple
I am currently playing as Surv with an ofspec of MM

Raiding
In terms or firelands raiding, I have downed beth, shannox, rhyolith, and have done bale on my alliance paladin altho looking to change over to dunemaul, and the ragnaros fight with your alts last night.

Gaming (optional) and World Of Warcraft history
I started playing world of warcraft about 2 weeks into TBC and have been playing ever since, I started off with a Shaman, i then made my paladin and at 70 with my paladin i healed, then when 80 came around i healed and when 85 came around i am healing with it, but my hunter has been on the sidelines for a while hiding in the shadows waiting to use kill shot.

Why do you want to join Iron Edge?
I moved my hunter to dunemaul, forsome reason thought it would be a good idea to join sidestep, my intension when i joined the server was to join his guild, but he told me that you would not want me. he invited me to your alt run last night and at the end it was mentioned i should apply to the guild and here i am.

What can I offer to Iron Edge?
What I can offer is my services as a reliable person and hopefully a better dps than sidestep at somepoint, as some of you saw last night on the ragnaros fight that I am a quick learner and pick things up fast, and i know how to move away from fire and other things.

Last words?
feign death?

This guy picked up stuff fast last night in Raggy, it was refreshing. Gear is a little low but as I said yesterday, gear isn't an issue this late in the patch.
Seems like a nice guy aswell, and we always need more (half) brits ;)! Good luck.

Doom summed it up nicely! Didn't fuck up and understood the tactics fast. Only slight downside is the gear, but I think it's enough to pass. Skinkelinke is our ranged officer so you'll need to wait for his reply.

Good recomendations there

You got empty glyphs and unenchanted items though wich needs to be fixed.

Do you read up on your class on Elitistjerks and simular sites? Got your rotations, stats prioritys etc down?

Title: Re: [Casual Raider] - Xr?s - Hunter
Post by: Xr on September 07, 2011, 03:59:26 pm
yup the helm missing enchant I'm working on that, glyph wise I'm open to recommendations.

I look on elitest jerks and a site called warcraft hunters union

In all honesty, we really shouldn't need to tell you if you are really serious about raiding. Elitist Jerks will tell you and http://www.femaledwarf.com/ (http://www.femaledwarf.com/) is another must.

Worked with him for over a year now (fuck that long? :'() and he's generally a nice enough guy if you ignore all the bullshit he talks  ;)

He knows how to stay out of fire and assures me his dps will be pro with more gear. I'm sure he'll sort the little issues like glyph / enchants.

But i hate to break it to you Simon, you'll never out dps me!  :D

Skinning is not an appropriate proffession for raiding, just saying.

I was skinning and LW for quite some time, I think we usually let the "non-mining" crappy gathering professions slide. Doesn't take that much time and gold to level another profession though, so it is encouraged!

This guy's introductory paragraph is the best I've read in a while. Take him, I say! (+ we need more Germans)

I can't wait for the day that Sidestep calls in sick to play new content (or w/e), and is caught in the act.

This is like adding your boss to Facebook!

lol, there are 2 kinds of people that shouldn't be on your Facebook, family and work collegues.

When I was living in Grahamstown my boss was our raid leader. On a few occasions we would catch each other 'bunking' work to play wow, or we would chill in our media room and play during lunch. There were 5 of us that worked together and played together. Was rather awesome.

We always used to go in drunk.

One time we got back from a halloween party in Kingston at 7am, I said to matt, its ok man, we can get 1 hours sleep then i will drive us to work in Guildford.

We awoke at 9.30 with our boss calling us on repeat, raging "where the hell are you too!"

Oh sorry we over slept, we'll be there in 30mins.

and hour and half later, we stroll into Game still pissed, "yo dudes whats up!"
costomers and new christmas temp staff are all like .. WHO ARE THESE GUYS!!!

then matt passed on the stockroom floor for 3 hours.

LOL! we are gods!

my boss was like .. holy hell .. come in drunk more often ben!

then i passed out on the stockroom floor and matt arrose, and sold his quota in the remaining hours of the day!

it was like an awesome tagteam!

Post by: Sidestep on September 10, 2011, 11:45:27 pm
Nice one, when you get the 378 back, belt and your 2nd t12 piece you'll be starting to rock.

What with all the effort you're putting in i'm sure Skinke will get you a trial soon :P

I'M blind, I play wow with a touchscreen. 



Be ready for raid Monday, make sure to read up on heroic shannox
Title: Re: [Casual Raider] - Xr?s - Hunter
Post by: Sidestep on September 11, 2011, 02:57:10 pm
Not trying to have a dig at Simon or anything, but is it really wise trialing him on a progress boss? Heroic Shannox is a dps race it seems, and he's a bit undergeared. Would be better for both him and us if he came to our farm raid on thursday. Just my thoughts.
Title: Re: [Casual Raider] - Xr?s - Hunter

/agree, or bring him in to test him on rag or w/e

True, see what happens i guess :)

Saying he should be ready isn't saying he will get in on shannox. We will see what happens :)
