Gaming  Background  and World Of Warcraft history ;

I have been playing online games since 2003. But my interest in gaming stuff(like atari,PS... ) goes untill my childhood years. I was pulled into MMORPG world by Ragnarok aka RO. I and my bros were hanging in internet cafes, playing Half Life ,CS and W3 at those times. But someday a new boy came to our cafe and brought a new game. We saw that guy playing  RO and we thus started  playing RO. I played RO about 2 years with some breaks. Meantime I met with DotA and got addicted to it. We created a team with our friends. Joined serious tournamets and won couple in our city. But afterwards i got sick and was almost going to die and had to stay in hospital about a month. Hereby in some ways i got forced to quit RO. Actually i did want to quit. So i sold my character with a silly price. Then i started playing  Silk Road. I played it about 5-6 months made a good character and sold it with a good price. But therebouts i was always seeing someone playing  WoW around the city. I had a sympathy to Warcraft because of W3 game. I was bit by bit getting pulled into WoW.
During those times i was playing online Dota in a Turkish server called Wepla. I met this guy, Jouvart(aka Exhume by some people as an aggresive raid leader :P ) while playing DotA. He made me start to WoW. He had 42 lvl Dw0rf Hunter when i started. Since then we've been playing together.
I started WoW just before TBC came out. And I've been playing since then ( except if we don't count some long term breaks because of critical real life issues ) My first character was a Noam lock. I started serious raiding with it in a realm called Skullcrusher. And my first raiding guild was "Watch and Learn" which is i'm not even sure if still exists. I joined that guild with Jouvart. Then we had some issues with GM and left that guild. Afterwards we joined a guild called Exorcism. We progressed in that guild a lot. But during these times i had a critical real life issue and had to quit wow. I gave my character to a friend. And quitted WoW. After 6 months later i started WoW again. I choosed Dunemaul this time because of all of my friends including Jouvart were migrated here. And i created a warlock again. When i dinged 70 we created a guild called Root with Jouvart.Jouvart was the gm i was the co-gm. We were really fast growing guild. We progressed very fast after it's creation. But one day Exhume didnt show up in raid time and we'were gonna raid BT.  So i started invites and killed first 3 bosses. Then he logged and saw that we were raiding.  He were really pissed because i didnt leave a spot for him and raided without him. He left the guild so we got disbanded.  I gave short break to WoW because of this sadness. Because we really worked hard for that guild and it all got ruined because of silly things. When i started again  we joined a Turkish guild called Redeemer. We progressed till Illidan in that guild. But i couldnt enjoying raiding which isnt under our commands and rules. So i gave a break till Wotlk. When wotlk came out i started WoW again. We tried to create Root again. But most of our old members werent here. So we couldnt succeed. Jou went inactive and  i joined RSR but i didnt like their raiding style. They were too irregular. So i left it. After wandering around guildless about a month I joined Rasta Gaming. But they disbanded the day after i joined... I still dont know why they got disbanded. Afterwards i joined RM and raided with them a while but then something critical came up in my real life and had to be inactive so i got kicked. Then i joined Cataclysm guild which is some sort of continuation Root. But after a while got disbanded because of same reason Root and here i am.
I havent only played lock. I got an alt 80 shammy also i played with my friends' warrior,priest,paladin and druid.
I also got raid leading experince. I leaded some raids in TBC.

Raid Exp :
Pre TBC = None.
TBC = All Content Besides SW.
WOTLK =  Nax 10/25(Cleared)
                EoS 10 ( Cleared )
                OS 10/25 ( Cleared )
                Onxyia 10/25 ( Cleared )
                Ulduar 10/25 ( Couldnt kill Yogg in 10 men and 25 men but know tactics ofc )
                ToC 10(Cleared) / 25 ( Except Anub'arak but have been into fight )
                ToGC 10 ( Been into couple tries at first boss )
                ToGC 25( None)
         

Why do you want to join Iron Edge?
Iron Edge... First of all I am sick and tired of noobish players. I want to play with skilled and smart players.  I hereafter want to be into serious stuff. And i'm prettty sure i can do this with Iron Edge. Maybe also i could get to better in PvP with you guys. ( I got nice pvp gear; 975 resi )
We had really bad luck about our guilds with Jouvart and i think it's time for us to do some serious stuff. At least for me =) He's already with you guys.

What can I offer to Iron Edge?
A professional gamer. I've played many but many online games which i didnt mention at gaming background part. And I know what it takes to be a gamer. I do everything to qualify my gaming. I know my class very well. I also know this game and it's mechanics very well.

Last words?
As you can see my English is not the best but it's enough to communicate. I also have no problems hearing talking at vent.

Some screen shots of my dps ;



And my gear wasnt upgraded that run.

Ultimately i hope my mate say some good words for me :P

Ty for reading my application.

[delling]

A DPSer that plays with groups on his screen! No way!

Great application mate. I don't know if we want a warlock at the moment.

Also, your lacking experience/gear might be an issue.

Will let Decayus answer in more detail.

-D

[Kheldar]

I dont lack experience as much as i lack gear. But still i know that they are not enough for your standarts. But i got skills to cover those missings.

[delling]

And if you don't have skills... at least you have confidence?

[Kheldar]

I wouldnt name that confidence but yea we could say that. To have confidence you must have some basis.

[Monstar]

It's nice that you play with raid frames, but seriusly, using default?, yuk.

And you really havn't done a single Uld hardmode? Even in 10man? How come?


gl on the app

[Kheldar]

Haha I'm not an addon fan =) Standart UI just works fine and as long as i'm a dps i dont need those fancy frames. Also I've done Flame Leviathan while 2 towers up in 25 man. That's all i got for now. But as i said I know all the tactics. I read and watch videos. I was just really unlucky about finding a proper guild to progress that much.

Hey Ged, good work on your application, all the relevant stuff is there and some extra is cool too

Sadly though, the A Team isn't looking for another warlock at the moment, and I don't think the B Team is either, but Vorte will have to answer for them.

I'd like to ask you a couple of questions regarding your gear.

First, I can see on your armory profile that you have 17.20% hit rating, and on the screenshot you have a moonkin in the raid, that's 20.20% unless you're using a lower hit rating set there, you're effectively wasting 3.20% of your hit rating. You might find yourself in a situation where you have nobody providing the 3% extra hit debuff frequently, but even so you should still have a set for when you do.

Secondly, why gem for crit? If you want to min/max your dps you should fill all your sockets with sp for reds, sp/haste for yellow and sp/spi for blue, this yields the highest dps as those stats have the highest dps value per item budget.

Good luck!

[Vorte]

We got 4 stupidly stable warlocks in the B raid, don't think we could fit a 5th 

[Jouvart]

He `is` a good player. Yet again I dont know about raiding spots for warlocks.

As you said i might find myself in a siutation where nobody providing the extra hit buff and yes i have a set for that. Also I just got this chest. and the one i was using before was lacking bit hit so i needed those set bonuses for cap. i havent updated those gems. even though i wouldnt use sp haste gems on those yellow sockets because i dont need that 30 haste's %1 casting speed increasing. would prefer crit instead.


Thanks for the consideration by the way. Good luck to you guys.

[Grilldyret]

Vorte is correct, we have too many stable warlocks to bring another one in. Great application, though! But I still have to deny it :/
