[25 Man Casual Raid] Paladin (Heal) - Lethys

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

Character: Lethys
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Lethys/advanced
Class/Spec: Paladin (Heal)
Raid: 25 Man Casual Raid

Personal Info:

Name: Alfie Clarke
Location: Gosport, England, UK
Age: 18
Job: Working part-time in a restaurant
Education: Currently in college studying for accountancy.
Hobbies: Cycling, Gaming, Fishing

Spec:

Main Spec: Holy Paladin, 529
Off-Spec: Protection Paladin, 501
2nd Off-Spec Retribution Paladin, PvP, 496
Item Level: 530 Best

Info: Played Holy for about 4 years now and enjoy it a lot, protection is my leveling/questing spec, but can be geared for raiding if needed.

Class:

The stats for a Holy Paladin would be;
      Spirit>Intellect>Mastery>Haste>Critical Strike
But due to having The Horridon trinket and Legendary gem, the need for spirit drops as I can manage my mana pool with cooldowns and pots at the right time.

Main Rotation:I use Holy shock on cooldown and use holy light/Eternal Flame as steady healing. Divine light on heavy healing with Infusion of light proc, and Flash of light on players close too dying or Divine light (With infusion of light). Depending on the fight I will either spec Holy prism for steady hps boost and for stacking boss fights I will use Hammer of light for greater aoe healing.

Aoe rotation: Holy Radiance and Light of Dawn are the main spells for this rotation as well as using Holy shock to build infusion of light and Holy power, I use 2 Holy radiance followed by a Holy shock to get the best effect from my daybreak ability. which will be followed by a light of dawn to use the 3 holy power built up.

Cooldowns: I will use cooldowns based on the fight itself or if the raid leader will prefer to assign cooldowns to damage situations.

Alts:

I have 4 level 90 alts;
Mage, Astyonax, Fire/Frost, 477
Priest, Aphaia, Disciplice/Shadow 444
Monk, Pudsy, Mistweaver, 477
Hunter, Buttérfly, Survival 464

I only use my alts as a pass time and not really for raiding at this moment but plan to in future as a side from my main, the only one I use for professions is Astyonax for alchemy.

Professions:

Paladin: Mining/Blacksmithing 600, All 522 plans
Mage: Herbalism/Alchemy 600, All MoP recipes.

I am willing to level any profession if needed and will be leveling, Jewelcrafting, Engineering and Enchanting on my alts.

Raid Experience:

Raiding Experience: I started late Wrath raiding and only downed a few bosses I went on a
                     break for a little while and re-joined mid Cataclysm which I
                     immediately starting raiding Firelands, and then went on to Dragon
                     Soul (Heroic).
                     I'm currently 12/12 Throne of Thunder and hoping to progress Heroic.
PvP Experience: I used to PvP a little on an old realm which I got to 1.1k in RBG's and my highest arena rating was 1950 in 2v2.        

Previous Guilds:

Previous Guild: All heads Rise

Reason for Leaving: I was Officer in the guild and Raid leader for the normal runs, and provided Potions/Flasks and Gold for the GB.
                    I left due the Guild leader was not performing his role up to    standard and the guild itself turned into a sham.

Availability:

Availability: Nearly most days
Work shifts: Wednesday, 4-9 (UK Time)
             Friday, 4-10 (UK Time)
             Saturday/Tuesday (Dependable if covering shifts)
No current holidays/exams.

Communication:

My first language is English and I have TS3 and a public sever channel if needed.
I have a headset and can speak and listen.

Computer / Connection:

The hardware in my computer is about 2 years old and the Graphics card is around 3 years out of date but it runs everything perfectly with no FPS issues. I have a stable internet   connection but can sometimes act up (Very rarely) but I sort it within minutes.
I am replacing my monitor soon to be able to play on a higher resolution, currently playing on 1080x720, but going to improve it shortly.

Addons/UI:

Addons: Decursive
        Deadly Boss Mods
        Recount
        ExtraCD
       

Other Games:

I play tactical war games, mainly Rome Total war and Age of Empires.

Why Iron Edge?

I find I can progress with your guild, and your website was very professional and appealing.

What can I offer Iron Edge?

I can offer a high set of healing capabilities and can offer anything if needed

Where did I hear about Iron Edge??

Friends.

Last Words?

What do we say to the God of Death?

[Gaeios(Graxlos)]

Decent gear and experience.

I'm never happy when I see a healer with a useless profession like Mining.

How do you feel about retribution? We currently have no retardins in the raid.

[Lethys]

Any DPS spec I play I can never really get to grips with, I can tank and heal pretty well but dps goes over my head if it isn't pvp.

I am switching my Mining into Jewelcrafting for the extra gems as well as extra socket.

[arisawa]

Hai, I noticed you list the stat prio as spi>int>mastery but you gem for pure mastery whenever possible, do you feel like that benefits you more than pure throughput? (I know absolutely nothing about holy paladins as they are now, just curious since you list intellect as more important.

[Lethys]

I gem Mastery throughout as it benefits me more as an absorption healer, but I gem hybrid gems so I still manage to get the socket bonus to boost my intellect, but if I have red gems I will gem a Intel/mastery gem etc.

[Strifium]

Gemming and reforging wise ( even gear ) it should be like mastery>spirit>int. But yeah i support getting all socket bonuses.

Good luck with your application, bonus points for playing strategy games.

[Lethys]

my main stat I go into with reforging is Mastery, but I go intellect over spirit now due to having the horridon trinket and the legendary gem to easily manage my mana pool.

[Strifium]

It's your call ofc. If you feel safe about your mana regain yeah, why not boosting your overall healing?

[Lethys]

Well as an absorption healer my direct heals won't be as strong as a raid healer, but with my 40% mastery that's 40% of each of my heals giving an absorbtion, and fully buffed I have around 35k spell power, which is enough to heal directly.

[Strifium]

That's what i meant

I've posted a reply to your application in this thread.
