Title: Social Application - Demon Hunter (DPS/Tank) - Andrealuna
Post by: Applicant on February 09, 2019, 05:22:07 pm
Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying to be a social member.

Character: Andrealuna
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Andrealuna/advanced
Class/Spec: Demon Hunter (DPS/Tank)
Member Type: Social

Personal Info:

Daniel, 33 year old school teacher in Denmark. Got a wife and to daughters of 2 and 4.
I played a bunch before the expansion and a few months after release but got bored after having 2 bosses down on mythic and no time to raid to advance further. Just returned to the game.
My mention-worthy accomplishments:
Previously part of elite army corpse of Holstebro.
Survivor of multiple zombie apocalypses in they are billions.
World cup winner in football, American football and table football.
First and second place winner of the 2020 armwrestling competition of the northeastern Saharan mountain range.
Record holder in time taken to climb down mount everest.
Record holder of biggest collection of the worlds smallest violins.
Cowriter of my selfbiography "from zero to hero" and the prequell "two minutes in heaven".


Class/Spec:

Playing it because I enjoy mobility and being able to take on special tasks during encounters. Earlier loved playing paladin, Hunter and monk.

Alts:

Got monk, pala and Hunter at Max level but far from perfect gear, sitting at around 355.
Got about 20 chars at 110 most of them on alliance.

Professions:

Engineering - cause!
And herbalism - cause got to make them moneys...

Raiding/PVP Experience:

In BFA I got curve early on and 2 mythic kills. After that I kinda lost interest and time to play. Earlier in emerald nightmare I had like 4 mythic before stopping. Returned when mage towers released, levelled one of each char to Max and cleared all the mage towers.
Before that nothing soecial, mostly heroic raiding. In vanilla and ttbc I and my previous guild on ravencrest horde(when such a thing existed) had almost every single boss server first kill. But things were super grindy back then. We slept with headphones on and in ventrilo to be able to log on any time of the day to kill world bosses etc. Halfway through TBC I decided that type of life wasnt for me any more.

Previous Guilds:

Public enemies on ravencrest horde, stopped playing the game
Pantheon on ravencrest horde, stopped playing the game
Ok on ravencrest alliance, they started and  stopped playing after each patch, but had IRL mates there.
Mania on kazzak, my best friend joined you guys and I want to play withhim

Availability:

I'm available almost daily, but can only invest several consecutive hours after making arrangements with the wife. Would be able to raid 1-3 days a week probably. My daughter's go to bed at 19 server time. Can do stuff after that and until 23ish. Although would be able to arrange to be available earlier some times too.

Communication:

Yes.
Speak Russian, Spanish, English and Danish. Like being vocal but respect the seriousness of encounters enough to shut it when necessary.

Computer / Connection:

Got a good pc and connection. And will probably upgrade the pc after the summer vacations just cause. :)

Addons/UI:

Use elvui for the overall interface. Details with 3 windows, showing DMG, healing and interrupts. I regularly use one or more of the windows to track other things like DMG on specific mobs or DMG taken from specific sources to evaluate fights.
Bigwigs cause its either that or dbm, I switch between them mostly according to what my raid prefers.
Weak auras cause it makes many things able to be done on cruise control.

Other Games:

Not many...
Some they are billions
A bit of Realm Royale
Maybe some Don't starve
Different total wars
And a bit of blood Bowl once or twice a year


Why Iron Edge?

Primarily because my best friend Andreas (Dooz) has joined you.
Also I like that you seem to have many things to offer:
Youve existed for a long time.
You have casual raids, more dedicated raids as well as semi hardcore raiding with cutting edge
You got a website and actual application forms!
Dooz speaks highly of you.
And ofc got tabard and bank...

What can I offer Iron Edge?

A dedicated player.
I like having fun with the guildies but respect being serious when it's necessary.
I'm prepared with consumables and enchants.


Where did I hear about Iron Edge?

Dooz and later I read about you on wowprogress and your webpage.

Last Words?

As my last words I'd like to leave you with a riddle. But I earn you... Don't read it if you don't want to be annoyed and risk loosing sleep...

Three men walk into a bakery. They each pay 10 silver coins for  a loaf of bread that costs 30 silver coins. After they leave, the baker realizes, that he had an offer of a loaf of bread costing 25 silver. He finds 5 silver coins and gives them to a messenger boy, that tracks down the three men.
The messenger boy gives them one coin each and keeps the last to coins for himself...
Now each man has only payed 9 coins (10-1) for the bread. 3×9=27... The boy kept two coins 27+2=29.
Where did the last coin go? (We started at 30...)

The boy has the coin, just because he gave each man a coin back after the offer on the bread was 25 coins so +3 coins back to them and kept the other 2 = 30.

Technically each man had paid 8.33 coins each after the price was amended. There's no riddle or sleep lost here.

Nice detail of the application, good luck.

How about this one:
Two fathers and two sons go fishing. They each catch a fish. However they catch three fishes in total. How can this be?

Hehe...
One more for the road:
A man lives on the top floor of a 30 story building.
Each day he rides the elevator down to the parking cellar and takes the car to work.
After work he returns to the parking cellar, gets in the elevator and rides it up to the 7th floor, but no higher... At this point he needs to walk up the rest of the flights of stairs.
He doesn't do it due to cardio or any sinister reason. The elevator can easily go up to his original floor... What prevents him from taking it all the way up?

Hi Daniel, great application. True to your nature and personality :P

Personally, I believe Daniel would be a great social addition to the roster, as he is always ready to hang out, help others and generally have fun. He has a lot of raid experience across the game's lifespan, and would surely be a good member of one of the other raid teams.

I don't know what else to say, than he is fun to be around, and still good enough to raid, only time hinders him really.

Best of luck, Daniel :)

A little update: I think I'd like to try out with the ToT raid if I get accepted, since that is probably the team i can commit to most often.
For that purpose, as i said - last tier I got 2 mythic and curve quiet early on, afterwords I stopped my progress...
I took a break and reinstalled the game a week ago. Since that week I've done some M+ including a +11 in time as well as killing 1 myth and 4h while pugging... would have been more but you know pugs :( and also I was in our summerhouse playing on a laptop from work with a bout 1-2 hour time intervals for playing :p

Hi Andrealuna,

Nice app, thanks for showing interest in the ToT raid,

The raids primary focus is clearing normal and heroic content and raids on Wednesdays 20:30 - 23:30 server time

And with your outside of azeroth commitments, ToT could be indeed a good fit for you

I'd like to offer you a social spot within the guild and a trial with the ToT raid

You can poke a officer for an invite to guild
Welcome!

Kodin
