Hello, Iron Edge!
I am applying to be a TOT Raider.
Character: Magnaphorya
Armory: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/Kazzak/MagnaphoryaClass/Spec: Shaman (DPS/Healer)
Member Type: TOT Raider
Personal Info:Name: Laura
Age: Basically expired grandma aka 32 yo.
Location : Near the war - aka Romania
Work : Veterinary assistant
School: Vet University
Class/Spec:I've always liked playing ranged classes ( from Amazon in Diablo 2, Zyra in LoL to Hunter and Shaman in WoW) because I like to sit back like a little *itch and press me buttons. Just kidding - I can't exaclty explain why I like this type of role but it simply feels satisfying.
I went for Ele because it's not a VERY popular spec and I always found solace in less played specs. And it's also really fun to pew pew electricity.
Alts:Don't have any relevant alts.
Professions:Engineering - high utility. It brings me the Frag Belt which saved my little Ele bottom many times in all sorts of fights, and when it didn't I just claimed lag! ;<> Among other useful things are the slow fall on the cloak (not useful in raids or m+ but it did positively impact my gaming experience) and the ability to craft a 262 Helm which provides me useful stats while I struggle to find a better helm which kind of is impossible becaus-NOGOODLOOTDROPSFROMMYTHICSIJUSTGETNOGODSHITMANK0R80RI2949242
Mythic+ Experience:I've been playing the game since 2008. During all these years I took breaks to focus on IRL duties , especially during BfA and Legion where I didn't play at all.
I came back to Shadowlands to find the game in a not-so-good-state, meaning the existence of boosting communities. I had the displeasure to find out on my own skin that if you start from or almost from zero, you'll be met with a cold shoulder - I struggled very HARD with finding a spot in PuGs for either M+ or Raids. People wanted achievements from the first week (which were obtainable through boosting) and I was unable to provide those. The very few groups I did manage to join were full of people with achievements who had no knowledge of mechanics. Building my own group didn't get far as I found myself sitting for hours waiting for my group to fill.
After spending 2-3 months trying to progress through content , I decided to take a 5 month break. A week before 9.2 I saw that they banned boosting communities in-game, at least in LFG, which made me hopeful , so I came back to the game. So and therefore , here i am!
Previous Guilds:My previous guilds were casual and the reason I left them was that they were either not taking raiding seriously enough (wiping on easy mechanics for hours on end and laughing about it) or people took breaks and never came back => thus not having enough people to raid and cancelling raids for weeks on end.
Availability:I can raid every evening starting from 20:30 server to whenever.
Communication:I'm fluent in english , I have Discord and can listen very well. I have both a microphone and will use it.
System / Connection:Yup, my computer has been recently bought so it's pretty modern and has had no issues yet. Fingers crossed. I don't have connection issues (barring the very rare case of the internet company dying).
Addons/UI:Bartender - makes my bars neat , without having too many to obscure my view.
Quartz - helps with making a nicer castbar
DBM - showing boss abilities/cooldowns
Details - shows a multitude of things that can help with analyzing my damage/healing
WeakAuras - assisting with a bunch of useful things such as marking/announcing objectives in fight
oRA3 - helps with keeping track of certain raid-important abilities
OmnicCC - shows cooldown of abilities
Other Games:League of Legens , CS:GO , Minecraft , Hearthstone - right now all these are on pause while I focus 100% on WoW.
Why Iron Edge?You guys seem like a very organized guild (it shows from your neat description of the community and your nicely-made site) , you seem to have a decent progress and can accept people that aim for multiple things. You also seem like the kind of guild that tells it like it is and lord knows I needs me some criticism and spanking yo
What I can offer Iron Edge:I will have a high attendance, will strive to improve my character both through itemization and performance during fights , will take any advice or requests happily , will farm for mats for consumables and I'll try to be the type of member that brings more chill to the community.
Where I heard about Iron Edge:I've searched the WoWProgress site specifically for guilds on Kazzak that look for Elemental Shamans.
Last Words:God help me. I love lamp.
