Hello everyone in Serenity:)
Before you even bother, have you read our guild rules and goals? Does it corresponds to what you are looking for?
(X) YES ( ) NO Note: by ticking YES, you agree follow the guild charter.
In game name (including previous names if any): ShaÃtan (the à can be written by pressing Alt+161). I changed my name a couple of months ago, it used to be Wolfbrother. Changed it because it was not very locky:)
Age: 24
From: Norway, on the beautiful west coast:)
Class and build: Warlock, 0/21/40 destruction
(This is the class and specc we expect you to be raiding with. No main-alt changing and no specc changing without approval from your Class Leader. You can bring all your alts in the guild if you want, but this will be the character/specc that will be invited into raids.)
Link to your Armory, CTProfiles, or RPGOutfitters page? (If you are not using your raiding specc because of PvP or whatever reason, please link the raiding specc you will be using): http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... a%C3%ADtan
As a comment to my gear: I am mostly in crafted and t4 level gear. But to my defence, i am waiting for t5 shoulders to drop (i have the most dkp of the classes than can use the t5 token), ive been outrolled on both Wub's Cursed Hexblade and Hood of Hexing lately, so with more luck i could have had a bit better gear. I am also only a few badges away from the new badges gloves, and still waiting to see if Nalorakk will drop the bracers.
Former guilds (on Bronzebeard or on your current realm): On Aerie Peak i was a member of Angelus Mortifera, Eightball, Belvedere and Purgatory.
Why did you leave your former guilds?: Angelus Mortifera i joined when i was a newbie, they were all closing in on 70 while i was still around level 30-40. When i reached about 58, my RL friend started the guild Eightball. I leveled to 70 there. We wanted to start raiding and soon merged with Belvedere, a guild that raided Kara and Gruul. The officers there (exept the GM, was really acting bad. They spammed raidchat, telling people to shut up, l2p(!) and so on. After a while i had enough and left them, and soon my friends followed.
But i wanted to raid more and i was approached by an officer in Purgatory and soon joined them. Purgatory is a fantastic guild. Great and friendly officers, nice atmosphere in guild chat and helpful people. The guild also has good players and a good progress. The problem in the guild is that it is a "casual" raiding guild. Not casual in terms that we dont raid often (mostly there is 6 10/25 man raids scheduled per week). The problem is that the casual atmosphere makes people slack when they sign for raids. Often we have 23 signups and raid is cancelled. Other times 27 people sign up, but only 24 shows up. The GM is doing his best to sanction people that do this, but it doesnt help. Im now getting tired of this, since i want to see more of the end game content. It is a very hard decision to make, but i dont see that it will get better any time soon:(
What is your former raid experience (pre-TBC and TBC)? I started playing a week after TBC was out, so i have no pre-TBC experience exept for a fun raid in ZG and MC as level 70.
In TBC i have cleared Kara, Gruul, Maggy and is at the moment at 3/6 SSC, 1/4 TK and 5/6 ZA.
Why do you want to join Serenity? One of my friends in Purgatory felt the same way as i did and transfered to Bronzebeard to join a guild here (Lex Talionis). I saw your guild on wowjutsu, and checked your webpage to see if you are recruiting. After reading the rules and info on your forum stickies, i decided to make an application. I guess your rules and goals appealed to me:) The fact that you are full on warlocks is of course not promising to my application, but i will never have a chance if i dont try:)
Do you have open applications to other guilds? No i do not.
Any member in Serenity that can vouch for you? No, sorry:( but Animis in the romanian guild Lex Talionis maybe can:)
The important questions now. Please take a moment to think about those before you answer.
Can you play at our official raiding times which are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 9pm - 1am server time? Yes, i can raid all those days and also the days you dont raid (fun runs, kara etc). Actually the fact that you start at 9pm is good for me since every third weekend i have to work, and sometimes isnt home until 7-8pm.
This is probably the most important question. We are a raiding guild, and even though we do not force anyone into raiding, we are expecting players that will join us to show interest in raiding at least 2-3 days each week.
Can you log on to the Serenity website and sign up on the raid calendar each week whether you can attend raids or not? I usually check forums for my guild every day. So that will not be a problem.
Do you intend to show up for raids prepared, PVE raid specced, repaired, enchanted, gemmed and with a minimum set of buffs (food, oils, potions)? Yes, i always bring 40-50+ shards, 30+ super mana potions, 20+ super healing potions, 5-10 destruction potions, 30+ bandages, 10+ superior wizard oil, 2+ flask of pure death, 25+ spelldamage food, 15+ elixir of draenic wisdom and 15+ elixir of major shadow power. I always try to enchant and gem so i get the best out of my gear. Always aiming for hitcap->damage->crit. I know that haste scales very good for damage, but at my current gear level, this isnt a priority.
We are planning on using a Suicide Kings loot distribution system, do you agree with this? (X) YES ( ) NO
(X) I have read the Forum sticky: Intro to Serenity
(X) I have read the Forum sticky: Guild Rules and Goals
I would like to add something. I know that my application most likely will be denied for obvious reasons (my gear lacking/being some bosses behind you in experience/full on warlocks), but i want to give it a shot anyways.
I cant offer you anything other than a friendly, honest and skilled diciple. I know my role as a warlock, i can do good dps, i can cc the mobs my cl/rl wants me to and i can learn. If i fail, i can promise that next time i will give 100% to do it 100% better. Of course i expect things from you too, but after reading on the forums i think you can provide those things to me: A mature, friendly and progressing guild.
Thank you for reading my application.
Best regards
ShaÃtan
