[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying for the main raid.

Character: https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Elauteentico
Server: (EU) Twisting Nether
Armory: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/(EU)%20Twisting%20Nether/https%3A%2F%2Fraider.io%2Fcharacters%2Feu%2Ftwisting-nether%2FElauteentico
Class/Spec: Shaman (DPS)
Member Type: Raider

Personal Info:

Lao, 33 years old.
I have a kid, but that's no problem — as long as I know the raid schedule in advance, I can coordinate with my wife.
I work in a great environment as a salesman and lead a team where I'm responsible for making sure everyone stays on track.
Because of that, I'm very used to helping out and taking on a "raid assist" type of role to make sure we perform at our best.
I'm organized, team-focused, and ready to put in the work where it's needed.

I main Enhancement Shaman, but I'm also leveling and gearing a Shadow Priest because I noticed a lot of guilds are looking for more ranged players for raids. Flexibility isn’t a problem for me — I just want to help the team succeed.

Class/Spec:

My main spec is Enhancement Shaman, as I feel it allows me to perform at a high level. However, I’m currently working on a ranged Shadow Priest for a solid ranged DPS option. While my gear is still on the lower end, with a bit of help, I can be raid-ready in 1-2 weeks. I’m more than willing to commit to this role if the team needs an SP.

I do a variety of activities, including Mythic+ dungeons. I always compare my logs with top players to see where I can improve, and I actively seek feedback on forums by sharing my logs so others can point out areas for optimization. I also use WeakAuras to track different procs, like Hot Hands, to ensure I’m performing at my best.

Alts:

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been focusing on getting my SP up. While I was mainly Discipline in Season 1, I’ve realized that Shadow is where I really feel the fun and excitement. I’m looking forward to fully embracing that playstyle.

Professions:

I primarily focus on gathering herbs and mining to collect materials, which I sell and buy on the Auction House. I also do boosting for gold, ensuring I always have enough for consumables like flasks, food, and other raid necessities. Additionally, I can provide Hearty Feast for the team

Raiding Experience:

I've always played DPS, and although I took a break for a few years to focus on Mythic+, where I consistently hit 3-3.4k RIO, I’m now looking to return to raiding. I’ve missed it and want to get back into it. In the past, I’ve completed multiple Cutting Edge (CE) achievements, including during Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Blackwing Lair.


Previous Guilds:

I quited the game for many years and started again 1 year ago and just now felt i wana come back in raiding.


Availability:

I’ll be available for almost any raid and will always message an officer in advance if I need time off for holidays or other reasons, so they know I’ll be away for specific weeks. If you raid twice a week, I’m committed to 100% attendance, unless I’m sick or dealing with unavoidable real-life situations.

Communication:

i speak Swedish, English, and Spanish, so communication won’t be an issue. I’m used to playing at a high level, having reached Master rank in Apex Legends, where reacting quickly to calls and team communication is key. I also have Discord and a mic, so I’m always ready to voice chat and contribute to the team

Computer / Connection:

I’ve recently upgraded to a new PC, specifically to handle the demands of raiding, as it requires significant CPU and GPU power. With my setup, I’m running at 400 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even during the most intense encounters. I also have stable fiber internet with 500/500 Mbps to avoid any lag or connection issues

Addons/UI:

I use several addons to maximize my performance:

WeakAuras – to track procs and important boss events in real-time.

BigWigs – to track boss mechanics clearly and early.

LittleWigs – for tracking mechanics in smaller raids and dungeons.

Details! – to monitor interrupts, damage, healing, and other key stats during fights.

SimulationCraft (SimC) – to simulate my character and accurately check if new gear is a real upgrade.


Other Games:

Apex legends but only soft play now with some irl.

Why Iron Edge?

I'm looking to join a more experienced guild. I feel like I've outgrown my current one, as many players there don't perform at the same level I can. I'm ready to push myself further and want to be part of a team where everyone is motivated, skilled, and focused on improving togethe

What can I offer Iron Edge?

I can offer Iron Edge a dedicated and reliable player who is always looking to improve. I bring extensive experience in both Mythic+ and raiding, with a strong focus on DPS optimization, using tools like WeakAuras and comparing logs with top players to maximize performance. I’m also proactive in gathering materials and boosting for gold to support the team with consumables. I’m committed to high attendance, and I’m always ready to adapt to the needs of the raid, whether that means playing my main spec or switching to a different role, like Shadow Priest, to fill a gap. Above all, I bring a positive attitude and the drive to help the guild succeed   If I make a mistake, I want to hear about it so I can improve. I’m always open to constructive feedback, as it's essential for my growth as a player. I’m the type of person who will take that feedback and train outside of raids to work on my weaknesses. Sometimes I might not see where I’m falling short, but I value having that pointed out so I can address it and get better

Last Words?

I’m really excited about the opportunity to join Iron Edge and contribute to the team's success. I’m committed, always eager to improve, and ready to give my best. Let’s push the limits together and achieve great things in the raids ahead. Looking forward to the challenge and being part of a skilled and supportive team!
