TOT Raider Application - Paladin (DPS) - Ipskinn

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying to be a TOT Raider.

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

Personal Info:

My name is Eftimios Eleftheriadis aka Timmy, its a greek name that i got from my grandfather. Im 32 years old, born and raised in Stockholm so i call myself swede more than greek.
I live with my two daughters, 1,5 and 3 years old, my partner Jenny and my 19 year old cat named Cilla.

I am on paternity leave at the moment but I will start work again on January 13th.
I work with a taxi company that provides bus and car service for people with special needs. I sit in a office and plan routes for the drivers on a computer.

I like football and I'm a big  fan of my team AIK.



Class/Spec:

I always played druid/rogue but in mist of pandaria i decided that i want to play with a character that wields a big weapon so I leveled up my warrior, dk and paladin. Since then I have been rotating between them.
I think I like the paladin the most because it kinda reminds me of old days with rogue/feral druid with the builder/spender play style and i really like the burst damage and rotation when popping crusade. I hate the mobility though.

I only played Retribution paladin this expansion. I was one of the main tanks for my guild in wod and legion and i could tank if needed but I prefer to dps. I don't like paladin healing.

Alts:

no

Professions:

The only reason i have herbalism cooking and alchemy is that i don't like running to the AH to buy consumables. I'd rather farm them!

Mythic+ Experience:

It all started in TBC and Karazhan. so i have cleared Kara gruul magtheridon. parts of of SSC, TK, BT and Sunwell.

I don't really remember what i cleared in wrath but i did naxx and ulduar.

Did not raid in Cata

Cleared all the heroic raids in mop except for Throne of thunder.

In wod i cleared higmaul and Blackrock Foundry on heroic and some mythic, cant remember what bosses. Don't think I raided hellfire citadel.

Did the first 3 raids in legion on heroic and some mythic. did not raid tomb of sargeras and did a little Antorus.

I did not raid in BFA

I was 1 % from clearing Castle Nathria heroic then missed it when the guild killed the last boss one week later.

There is a lot of stories when you have played the game half your life. My favorite is not really a raiding story but one that leads to raiding stories.

Me and my two friends met up one day. We had been on a break from wow for a time and started talking about it. We sat together for hours and planed on making a guild. We called all our friends that we new played wow and started a guild together and raided for a time. The guild died after a few months but we were really proud that we planed it together and made it a reality.

Previous Guilds:

I'm currently in a guild called midlife crisis. I've been with them since Wod. Before that i did not really have a guild, i was in some guilds for short times but did not really commit to any of them. Had a guild together with some IRL friends for a time.

I'm now leaving midlife crisis because its dying. The core raiding group stopped raiding after we beat Castle Nathria heroic and its been a downhill for the guild since then.

Availability:

I log in every day during the days now when I'm home with a kid (she sleeps for 1,5 hours after lunch).

I am usually available after 19:30 in the evenings. Some days I'm on baby watch so i cant really commit to any group activities and some days when the kids don't want to sleep i might log in later but it rarely happens.
I would say that I'm active at least 3/7 days and semi-active the rest of the week. So i have time for other stuff than the weekly raid.



Communication:

Yes, I can talk english with a swedish accent and sometimes greek accent. I have discord and mic and I use it.

System / Connection:

My computer is fine for wow. I don't have any issues with lag or connectivity. 120-200 Mbit/s internet.

Addons/UI:

Screenshot ui and key bindings: https://imgur.com/a/5K5kRIV

Details - to track the damage and healing the group is doing. Mainly to track my damage and compare it to better paladins to improve.

DBM - Easier to see stuff that happens. Tracks abilities on bosses so i know what comes next.

I can always add addons if needed.



Other Games:

Currently only wow but I usually play other games.

My favorite game is Diablo II Lord of Destruction, I've played it on and off since i was 12 years old.

I play some Heroes of the storm. Did play other mobas before, but not anymore.

I have a big list of games on steam. Some of my favorites: Elden Ring, Hades, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, Valheim and pubg.

And i like Minecraft.

Why Iron Edge?

I want to find a group of people to raid, play dungeons and have fun with. And after Io told me that more of my old guildes joined you I wanted to join even more.

Also i really like raiding but don't have the time to fully commit so i like the idea of a TOT raid!

What I can offer Iron Edge:

You can expect a Retribution paladin that always strive to pull off the mechanics off the bosses and top the damages meter.
You can expect a not so funny guy but a friendly guy that likes playing games together.
I can offer pictures of my Cat!

Where I heard about Iron Edge:

I asked Io if she was in a active guild and she told me about Iron Edge.

Io was in my guild.

Last Words:

I really hope to see you in game!

Best regards Ipskinn.

[Io]

I vouch for him, we have been in the same guild for a long time
