Hello, I would like to offer you a trial, please poke an officer for an invite. Welcome aboard !

Hiyo Iserra,

I would be happy to have you on as a trial for the main raid, so you can poke me or any other officer online for an invite 

Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying for the main raid.

Character: Iserra
Server: Tarren-Mill
Armory: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/Tarren-Mill/Iserra
Class/Spec: Evoker (DPS)
Member Type: Raider

Personal Info:

Hi,
my name is Christoph, I am 38 years young and live in Germany.
My field of work is the vast land of IT consulting, but my heart and home is with family, gaming and hobby addon development. I am playing WoW since shortly after release, with some raid breaks in between.

Class/Spec:

Wish I could select Evoker in the dropdown, but that's what I play: Devastation.
Played a tiny bit of Pres in Aberrus and quite a lot of Aug in M+, and a bit in raids, when it was viable/needed.
Gear is around 671, close enough to BiS items. Not much gear for the other specs as they are not rally viable atm and devo is too much fun.

Do you want an honest answer or a guide rewrite/copy&paste?

Depends on the hero talents, but both are pretty straight forward for the most part.
Flameshaper leans a bit more towards haste while Scalecommander wants a bit more crit with Crit~=Haste>Mast>Vers overall.
Rotational both specs are quite linear and on a ~20 cycle with empowered spells (and engulf for FS). Essenc build/spend is a bit proc dependant outside of Dragonrage but easy to play around. Free cast proc building is done with Living Flame outside of DR (with proc inside of DR as well) and Azure Strike inside DR or while heavy movement with no Hover or other options available. Spending is done with Disintegrate on ST (or cleave for Scale) and Pyre in heavy aoe. For FS there's one additional ruleset: don't engulf without all buffs in ST unless overcapping and not without FB dot on the target on aoe. Besides that: blast away!

While Scalecommander is probably the most mobile (caster) class in the game, Flamshaper does not share that boon, unfortunately.

Alts:

I have a relatively well geared (668) elemental shaman which I play decently well.

Professions:

Alchemy. (I have 3 almost fully specced. I like to sustain myself with flasks and pots where possible. Can craft cauldrons)
JC, missing only some pvp gems. Was a decent choice to get some gold in.

Raiding Experience:

NP: 4/8M (dps, 5/8M tank)
Amirdrasil: 7/9M (pre-awakened)
Aberrus: 5/9M (pre-awakened)
VotI: 5/8M (pre-awakened)
Sanctum: 4/8M (took a break after)
Nathria: 7/10M

Playing since release, mostly DPS on rogue, druid and evoker, with only some small raid breaks.
Some CE back in the day: Xavius, Archimonde, Garrosh.

Previous Guilds:

Eclipsé (current): raid broke down.
Light of Eärendil: left after S1, to follow some (returning) friends/guildies, but did not like the atmosphere too much by the end.
Somnia: some toxic players which later left as well, but I could not stand raiding anymore.
Many Murderous Meows: raid broke down.

Availability:

Usually: all weekdays starting 20:00, on raid-nights I can be there 19:40ST. Weekends depend.
Some planned vacations around the year which I usually can address early on in regards of availability.

Communication:

Fluent second language. Audio setup is proven to work.

Computer / Connection:

Big gaming machine, good stable internet.

Addons/UI:

ElvUI, WA, Plater, DBM, (currently Liquid Aura Reminders), Cell, Clique, Details.
Basically all of these for two things: UI style and information tracking.
Everything else is cosmetic or QoL.
Keybinds are setup for an Azecon Cyborg and Corsair Scimitar, with some Clique bindings, so not much reference that I could give about it.

Other Games:

Not much, occasional Overwatch or Rocket League with friends, RPGs, souls(like), shooter, whatever appears pleasing at the time.

Why Iron Edge?

I am looking for a stable raid environment with "family friendly" raid times (starting ~20:00ST) and 2-3 raids per week but good progress. You're looking like a good match for that. Besides that, a relaxed but focused raid environment would be great, but I cannot judge that yet.

What can I offer Iron Edge?

Stable attendance and gameplay, resilience and help with addons and WAs.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge?

raider.io guild search.

Last Words?

Would be happy to hear back from you.
Please consider keeping any spelling mistakes and treasure them in my stead, as I apparently did not want them.

Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying for the main raid.

Character: Warrandis
Armory: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/Kazzak/Warrandis
Class/Spec: Paladin (DPS/Tank)
Member Type: Raider

Personal Info:

Stefan, 38 from Sweden. Working office hours at a telecom company, have two kids so usually not off form the the kids and wife until 21.30 server time most days (outside of scheduled raid days).

Class/Spec:

I main retribution, this is the spec I thrive the most in. But I've alot of experience from playing tank on Mythic raids aswell (both prog and farm in recent expansions, and in the heroic days before MoP). Gear is 667 as ret and 665 as prot.

Str>Mast>Crit/Haste. Simming myself with raidbots to see how I need to change between crit/haste. I follow rotation from Wowhead and some tisp from discord, focus on not wasting holy power and lining up WoA with trinket/poion. If there is bigger changes to rotation I usually run Hekili just to get a feel for things

Alts:

Naa, not really a alt-player in competetive content, but join a casual-casual raid once in a while if main prog is stale.

Professions:

Enchant/Jewelcrafting, not any special ranks or recipes

Raiding Experience:

In mythic content I've 3 mythic bosses down each season in DF, only AotC in WW. In SL when I returned to "serious" raiding it was only HC clears in CN. So no CE but I know my skills are there.
Back in Wotlk/Cata in my prime it was full clears and top 5 realm kills as standard and some world 250-350 kills, but usually sub 500. Played ret aswell mainly but was sub-tank when MT/OT was off.

Previous Guilds:

Recent:
The Dambusters (rading died end of DF)
EX (joined with promise of three rading teams that quickly got to one and I lost the momentum)
Old notable:
KPN (died)
Converge (took a short break)
Stelth Kilers (died)

Availability:

On non raiddays I'm available from 21.30 server time. Springholiday from 4/5-10/5

Communication:

Yes, yes, yes. Not the talker, but sure will listen and respond.

Computer / Connection:

Got a good PC (5700x3d, 4070 super, 32gb RAM) and stable internet connection

Addons/UI:

Running NaowhUI with included addons and WA packs, based on ElvUI. Really good package imho. For raiding I use Weakauras and bigwigs to keep track of raidboss abilities, debuffs, buffs (and reminder to eat/flask/rune), details for obvious reasons, MRT mostly for notes, Plater and NameplateAuras to enhance info on nameplates. My keybind are all shown on screenshot, which I can't attach since I can't find any attachment part, will add it on the forum-post.

Other Games:

Nothing special at the moment

Why Iron Edge?

I want to raid, I want someone to lead and schedule my raid times, I want to progress content with other serious people that want to progress and kill bosses. But mostly, I want to have fun, it's an game after all, and I have fun when I can play with 19 others in an organised fashion and kill bosses. I took a quick look at you on raider.io and on the website and it feels like an eviroment I will be happy and have fun in.

What can I offer Iron Edge?

A serious and loyal player that learns from mistakes, does really good damage, that can step up and to bombs on Sprocket, eggs on Diurna, activate jump on Ansurek etc. My time is valuable, and I will be on-time for raids and I will be there with high attendance since I will schedule my life around raiddays and not the other way around.

Last Words?

Already applied to the weekend team, so not a stupid double post, but want to try my chances on the CE team aswell.
