Hello, Iron Edge!
Character: Pericynthion
Server: Ravencrest
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Ravencrest/Pericynthion/advanced
Class/Spec: Mage (DPS)
Raid: Ravencrest Raid
Personal Info:
Steven Cassidy, aged 25, living in England, UK.
Spec:
I'm currently MS Fire, since the recent 4.3 buffs to the spec have put it pretty much on par with Arcane single target, but much more capable AoE-wise. My OS is Frost at the moment, but changing this to arcane for a particular encouter is no problem. I am capable and experienced in all 3 specs. My current gear level is 380 PvE Equipped in Fire, and pretty much the same if I were to play arcane.
Class:
As fire I'm prioritising in this order:
Hit to cap (17%) > Intellect > Haste to a suitable threshold (Either 15% or 25% raidbuffed (Combustion ticks)) > Critical strike rating > Mastery > Haste.
As Arcane I would priritise:
Hit to cap (17%) > Intellect > Haste to 25% raidbuffed (1 sec arcane blast in spamspam burn phase of rotation) > Mastery > Crit > Haste.
As far as understanding my class, I know that mages are often useful in raids for their cc and kiting abilities, their heavy AoE abilities (In fire, anyway), and the ability to nuke a target hard when it matters. Also for the buffs brought ofc.
Alts:
Blood DK under construction - 57 or something silly. Still mailing him 'looms.
Professions:
Enchanting (525), for the ring enchants + Primary money maker.
Tailoring (525), mainly for the Lightweave embroidary enchant to cloak.
Since I only maxed these professions very recently I have no cool or special recepies :C
Raid Experience:
My raiding experience on this mage is quite limited, as it's a new main recently created on Ravencrest. I'm hoping to carry this application mainly on the merits of my old main, a Warlock that I've left behind on a dying/dead server.
Recent raids to speak of are:
3/5 HC BWD, 2/2 ToTFW Normal, 2/5 HC BoT (Completed during the tier).
6/7 HC FL (4 of which are dated pre-nerfs)

I stopped playing my warlock 3 weeks ago and made myself a nice little level 1 mage on Ravencrest, in the last 3 weeks I level him to 85, geared him significantly and maxed his proffessions, no-life style!
My Mage currently has 6/7 DS Normal (25m w/ Depthcore alts, wil continue with them weekly until accepted to a decent 10m guild/roster)
Logs from the second half of that here (I was in low gear at the time and have geared significantly since that raid):

Previous Guilds:
I have only being in a social guild with an insane roster (not that far from the total population of my old realm!) for the perks while I leveled etc. I have only began to look for a decent guild to call home, that I can raid with professionally, and one in which I do not have to turn off guild chat in order to avoid being iritated, like is currently the case!
My Warlock remains in his guild (Wildcard of ravenholdt).
Availability:
Available 24/7.
Communication:
English is my first language, I have TS3 installed, and I have a mic that I'm not too shy to use.
Computer / Connection:
I run WoW with no issues at all, except ultraxion on 25man required some graphics and skada being turned off recently, but that seems like an exception. I have a stable broadband connection.
Addons/UI:
Addons I use:
Deadyly Boss Mods, Auraframes, Bartender, Quartz, Shadowed Unit Frames, Atlasloot Enhanced, Arkinventory, Skada.
I use a 17 inch monitor that is best with 1024x768 resolution, so I have to keep everything in my UI pretty compact. If I'm honest, I have been lazy and still need to tidy alot up and track the appropriate things for my spec. I also didn't have the foresight to take a SS while in my Fire Spec in the recent DS raids, but do have one from a raiding environment, taken in Arcane from when I blagged my way into a FL raid in 346/359s just over a fortnight ago: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/214/wowscrnshot112011213408.jpg/
Other Games:
Scrabble :P
Why Iron Edge?
I saw a post in trade regarding your current recruitement demands. Since then have come to visit your website, and seeing how the guild works and such, am interested in becoming a part of it.
What can I offer Iron Edge?
My time, dedication and concentration. As a player I am very raid-aware, and always join everything prepared. I'm not a bad personality either, I like to help guildies wherever I can, and have a decent sense of humour.
Where did I hear about Iron Edge??
Trade spam/wowprogress.
Last Words?
Thankyou for taking the time to read this application.

Hey! Nice app. I definitely think we could use a mage. I'll have a talk with our officers.
-
app looks great, we really need a mage atm.
are you saved this reset?
-
Looks nice. Lots of keybindings, that's always a good indicator :-)
-
Wow, you guys are pretty fast in replying!
I'd just like to quickly point out that I meant to write '6/8 DS Normal', not '6/7', when mentioning my experience this tier. To your comments:

are you saved this reset?
Thanks, and I'm not saved yet. I do have an invite to Depthcore's 25m alt run due Sunday @ 14:00 though. I'll be joining that unless I have any luck with you guys/a guild before then.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I looking forward to hearing more from you/your officers!

I have a brother, but he's not called Luke! who is this sirname imposter?! Oh wait, I suppose it's possible that there're quite a few Cassidys in the world...
The cousin of Butch Cassidy?
I am the sundance kid!
-
The sundance kid is a celebrity how can you guys even consider not recruiting this guy.
-
Tbh you performed really well. Would really like you to stay raiding with us ;)
-
What Nienor said! You looked like a guy that could pull his own weight and more!
-
so why are u saved to a diffrent hc id?
-
Unfortunately I've just got a evening job, rather than a daytime job which is what I'm looking for. I'd like to change my application to be for a casual/stand-by raider. Sorry about the mess-around here.
so why are u saved to a diffrent hc id?
I had no idea if I'd be joining Iron Edge for it's DS clearance, and after feeling like the attempts on Zon'ozz were a serious gear check for me (I have some decent itemlevel, but it's been pretty much a case of grabbing what I can with this toon hitting 85 so recently, so I do have some terribad pieces stat-wise.) I thought I better make sure I clear the rest of it on normal for some loot. I did mail the raid leader to ask if there would be a spot for me since I was on the same lockout as you guys, left it for a few days, and with no reply I decided to lead a PUG through the rest of the normals. I didn't actually realise I was under obligation yet either, to be honest!

I think we're just going to have to decline you atm. Good luck with a guild.
