Hello, Iron Edge!
I am applying for the main raid.
Character: Footmunch
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Footmunch/advancedClass/Spec: Priest (DPS)
Member Type: raider
Personal Info:Raphael Wank
27 going on 28
Stuttgart Germany at the present.
Im a full-time Software Developer at a local company focusing on Desktop Applications.
Class/Spec:Shadow for Life!
I have always played Ranged Dps when it comes to wow so i have sorta stuck with all classes along that line.
I did occasionally play my priest as a healer but i prefer not to.
My current ilvl is 667 and im on the HM part of the Legendary quest chain.
On my Mage and on my hunter alts im currently on the BRF part of the legendary chain.
As for Shadow there's 2 play styles currently. The styles are COP(Calarity of Power)/AS(Auspicious Spirits) for single target or cleave. Depending on the fights you swap out the talents and it affects your playstyle and rotation completly.
Depending on gear and stats AS becomes better than COP for multi target. For AS to work properly you need 25% + crit or it doesnt do more dps than COP in cleave scenario.
For the Stat prio im going along these lines:
Int (1.00) > Spell Power (.88) > Crit (.76) > Haste (.69) > Multistrike (.58) > Versatility (.49) > Mastery (.41)
Alltho for AS/COP there are seperate stat prios the combined one looks like this.
That way you perform decent in both specs.
As for the Rotation, for COP you build Shadow Orbs with Minblast on CD and use Mindspike till u at 4.
At this point you cast 2 more mind spike into a swp followed by a Mindblast.
Now your at 5 orbs and you cast VT, followed by DP and then Insanity.
As soon as MB is of CD you cast that and follow with a full insanity. Reapply DP and cast Insanity. Cast MB of CD. When the 2nd DP runs out the other dotts usually also are falling off and you go back to the Mindspike/MB rotation to build orbs.
Alts:I have my hunter and my mage for alts.
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Kab%C3%B6%C3%B6m/advancedhttp://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Menostalker/advancedI played my mage earlier this Expac to raid with, so that explains his gear.
Kabööm: 208 days
Menostalker: 42 days
Footmunch: 114 days
Professions:Im running alchemy and tailoring on my priest for the past few expacs. I try to spread the professions across my alts so i have what ever possible.
Raiding Experience:Quick Summary:
I started raiding on my Hunter during MC. I ended up switching towards my Mage and also playing him into Naxx.
I stuck with mage all the way till Wotlk Ulduar where i was asked to roll a priest for the guild i joined.
I played my Priest all the way till DS and got the Legendary Staff during Firelands.
In MoP i swapped back to my Mage due to the horrible state of SPs.
During WoD i discovered my love for SP again so im playing that again now.
At the start of Wod there was 0 demand for SP which forced me into lvling a Mage and raiding with that for a bit.

mop:
At the start of Mop i brievly played for a short while before moving to Germany which resulted in me taking a break till SOO.
When SOO came out a bunch of friends got together and formed a guild to raid under our terms, which didnt work out in the long run and we all stoped the game again.
At this points i went and got into Wildstar raiding, which i stayed with for 2-3 months. When WoD came out i jumped back onto that wagon since it looked interesting.
wod:
At the start of WoD i joined Supremacys guild and raided there up to 1/7 mythic HM.
His guild fell apart and i tryed raiding in Missive. I raided with them up to Maidens HC.
My Sub ran out and i called it quits due to the Raid Atmosphere and the constant lack of people for raids.
Previous Guilds:Vanilla: i cant tell you the names, only that it was on Frostmourne a German Realm at that time and i raided there till TBC, when i migrated to an english realm called Dunemaul.
During TBC i was in a casual guild at the start. Towards SSC/TK i joined a guild called Urban Legends on Dunemaul Alliance, where I became an officer and we raided until BT/MH together.(here i met ET/Queras). I still have the other officers on real id todate.
For SWP i moved to Quel'Thalas(realm is gone) where i raided in Lost in Azeroth and cleared SWP with them.
Many guilds disbanded after SWP so i moved back to dunemaul where i found a home in After Life and got my Naxx/Uld experience here.
When Alliance died on that realm many of us moved over and joined Iron Edge. In Iron Edge i raided all the way through to Dragon Soul and ended up beeing an officer.
For Soo i struggled to find something to my liking to get back into the Raiding so i created Hydra with a bunch of my buddys. 1 by 1 the officer core faded due to the ammount of work requiered and the guild disbanded around feb 2014.
For Wod i joined Ad Infinitum on RC as a casual to just enjoy the game again, by the time raiding started again, Supremacy asked me to join him and raid casually. I stuck with that till they called quits and moved to Missive where, where my chars still are.
Availability:I work 07:00-17:00 mon to fri. with the occasional meeting going over time.
As mentioned to Rash already i occasionally have to travel for work so i have to miss 1 or 2 raids, but im planning on getting a laptop when im fluid again for travel gaming.
There wont be any other holiday till Christmas from my side, since i just got back from a Vacation in South Africa.

Yes my engrish is very well.
I do use TS frequently, alltho lately everyones been only using Skype.
