Hello, Iron Edge!
Character: Jaxmon
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Jaxmon/advanced
Class/Spec: Shaman (DPS)
Raid: 25 Man Casual Raid
Personal Info:
My name is Rimvydas, 24-teen years old. I live in Vilnius, Lithuania and I recently started a new job as a data analyst (sounds 'amazing' - i know!).
Spec:
I prefer playing as a dps and in this case - elemental, but I could try healing if there is a lack of healers. As far ilvl goes - I did not play my shammy in 5.3, so not much and it definitely needs work: elemental 492 (yes with the pvp ring, sorry) and 493 resto (no real 2nd healing trinket and same crappy pvp ring (no spirit))
And for the 'why?' I played ele shammy - the answer is simple - my group needed one. The same was with my cata raiding group - I rolled a boomkin for the haste buff.
So for me the spec/class is not that important as the company.
Class:
I am outdated on shaman, but for ele pretty much the same as before:
int > hit (15%) > haste > mastery > crit
for resto I guess: spirit/int gear > some haste breakpoint > mastery > crit (I would research on this more if needed - no problem)
Alts:
ALL OF THEM!!! People collect pets - I collect alts.
90s - lock, druid, rogue, DK, priest
87s - monk, paladin
35 - hunter
51 - warrior
44 - mage
Professions:
Nothing special or cool for my shammy - jc and ench for +320int bonuses.
Raid Experience:
Started playing on global servers at the beginning of Icecrown Citadel, derped there with dk and pally heal a bit - raided casually 10/25 with no real achievements (half of shadowmourne done - sadface).
In Cata I started semi-hc 3 days a week 10 man raiding around beginning of Firelands and cleared that on hc, except of Ragnaros, finished Deathwing on hc also with 20% buff if i remember correctly. As we were not that serious - we were stuck on back of DW for a while.
In MoP I started in hc 5 days a week 10 man raiding group, but we got burned out at 12/12hc 0/4hc, then we took a break and I did not return to hc raiding.
For the other part of the question - I really enjoy pvp (especially healing and watching tournaments) but I have no real achievements there - 2v2 ~1.6 WotLK, MoP, 3v3 ~1.5, no real RBG exp.
Previous Guilds:
Pretty much all of my WoW 'career' I was playing with people of my nationality and I want to try an international guild, but the more applicable reason for leaving is that I do not want to invest that much time and effort into WoW anymore and try 25-man(!!) raiding.
Also, our competition quit (we were competing more with other Lithuanian guild than other guilds)
Availability:
Monday-Friday after work/sports anywhere from 19.00 (server time) until I drop on the keyboard drooling. Weekends - depends on what I am doing but if you would consider to move raids to Sunday's night - I would be there.
Communication:
I can speak English, I was using it for my previous work quite a lot on phone with foreign clients. I do have TS3 and I do have and use a mic.
Computer / Connection:
I can only compare to LFR and I had a huge dps drop on Elegon's last phase, but I could just set the settings lower (not ultra). I have a stable internet connection - the last time I had problems with it when a storm killed the power.
Addons/UI:
My UI is not pretty but kinda does the job:

Grid2 for healing/raid health tracking, Tidyplates and classtimer for easier dot/debuff tracking, DBM to stay awake, and most important addon - recount(!!) for some competitive analyzing and QQing after tanks are on top.
For keybinds - nothing special. For shift + y pre-pot/pot, shift + t dps macro (shammy form, trinkets, racial)
Other Games:
League of Legends -> I often do lanparties with my friends on weekends.
I try pretty much everything.
Why Iron Edge?
As stated above - I am looking for 25 man guild with a relaxed raiding schedule in kazzak and you guys are the only ones doing it according to wowprogress.com.
What can I offer Iron Edge?
A steady raider and a similar laugh as in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2rGhuoWbws :)))
Where did I hear about Iron Edge??
wowprogress.com
Last Words?
I would appreciate the opportunity to show that I can be a good addition to your raiding team and more!
A new elemental shaman wouldn't be bad and I like the fact that you have tried hardcore and is ready for a more casual approach.
Your gear is pretty low, so I would like you to gear up a bit, just doing some LFR could get you some nice upgrades and give you progress on your way to the legendary cloak(meta gems etc.).
Make an account for the forum and log on to irc to get it activated so you can respond here.

Funny I recognize this so well, I also had a competative guild (back when you were competing against your realm) against me and when they quit I think half of my guild quit as well. It's so important to have someone to beat when you raid 6/7 days a week.
Well thumbs up from me, you seem like a great guy and yes, 25man 2 days a week is so much more relaxing. (And welcome to real raiding, those damn 10man are dungeonruns) :D
an elemental shaman would be nice since we are disenchanting all the thunderforged shaman int gear at this point lol. :)
alrighty then! So should I just go to LFR for now till I get 500+ ilvl? :)
You are welcome to join the guild now. I just won't guarantee a spot in raids before your gear is a bit better.
Great then! Whom should I contact ingame?:)
I don't see any officers online atm. Maybe safire or rashkebab will be online later. I won't be home until late tonight
I'll be online most of this afternoon, probably on my hunter doomxd - whisper me.
I am in already, cheers guys :)
