90 Retribution Paladin - Hansyolo
Posted: Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:32 pm
Hey guys,
I am aware that you're currently not seeking a Retribution Paladin, nonetheless I wanted to create an application for consideration as I also read your policy on recruiting players outside of the recruitment guidelines if the application contains the right stuff. So i'm kinda just pinning my hopes on that
(X) YES ( ) NO Note: by ticking YES, you agree to follow the guild charter.
In game name (including previous names if any): Hansyolo
Age: 22
From: Somerset, United Kingdom
Class and build: Retribution Paladin
(This is the class and specc we expect you to be raiding with, and this is the specc we hope you wish to be playing with. No main-alt changing and no specc changing without approval from the GMs.)
Dual Spec: My secondary spec is also Retribution for any Arena/PvP I manage to fit in using full Malevolent/Tyrannical gear. However, I am more than happy to adjust this for any guild needs.
(Please state which 2nd spec you have with the new dual-spec system and comment your gear for it).
Alts (please comment if you intend on bringing them in the guild and if not, why?): 90 BM Hunter 'Chunk' and 90 Resto Druid 'Douevenshift', I wouldn't be bringing them to the guild as they're in the guild 'We Jammin' purely to fulfill my PvP cravings with IRL friends on the odd occasions.
Link to your Armory 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.battle.net/wow/en/character/bronzebeard/Hansyolo/simple I do currently have my PvP gear equipped, however, my talents etc. don't change. I would be tempted to take 'Eternal Flame' to replace 'Selfless Healer' in certain raiding situations. Of course I am open to any experienced suggestions to improve.
Former guilds (on Bronzebeard or on your current realm): Totally Devoted
Why did you leave your former guilds?: I'm just looking for more consistent raiding opportunities, Totally Devoted currently raid depending when the tank is available which sometimes can be weeks apart. Raids are often cancelled due to lack of commitment from other members.
What is your former raid experience (pre-TBC, TBC, WotLK)?
Pre-TBC:
Zul'Gurub - Cleared
Onyxia's Lair - Cleared
Molten Core - Cleared
Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj - Cleared
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj - None
Black Wing Lair - Killed Vaelastrasz the Corrupt
Naxxramas - None
TBC (During my time in 'The Scholars Of Light' - Bronzebeard):
Karazhan - Cleared
Gruul's Lair - Cleared
Magtheridon's Lair - Cleared
Zul'Aman - Cleared
Serpentshrine Cavern - Cleared
Tempest Keep - Cleared
Battle for Mount Hyjal - Cleared
Black Temple - Cleared

WotLK:
Naxxramas 10/25man - Cleared
Cataclysm:
Baradin Hold - Cleared
Throne of Four Winds - Cleared
Why do you want to join Serenity?
After doing some general research about the guild and reading your policies on raiding as well as respect for personal/IRL responsibilities I believe Serenity would be the perfect setting for myself to re-enter end game raiding. I used to raid hardcore with the former Bronzebeard guild 'The Scholars of Light' through Burning Crusade until I departed for university, from there I played World of Warcraft whenever time allowed me through WotLK and Cataclysm and I had to let go of my raiding past. Since finishing university and settling into a job I have decided it is the perfect time to start raiding regularly but with no intention to raid 5 nights per week again, 3-4 is the ideal amount to fit comfortably with IRL responsibilities. For these reasons I feel I'll see eye-to-eye with your guild policies as well as your relax but focused raiding aims and goals, as well as making friends within the guild too.
Do you have open applications to other guilds?
No, this is my only application. Although I haven't yet left Totally Devoted as I will need to personally explain to a few members the reasons I'd be leaving.
Any member in Serenity that can vouch for you?
Nope, sorry!
The important questions now. Please take a moment to think about those before you answer.
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 3-4 days each week. Are you interested in raiding several days a week regularly???
Definitely, this is the primary reason that Serenity attracted me to apply. I would love to enjoy the company of like-minded gamers whilst doing what we all love to do 3-4 nights a week
We do not spend a lot of time on farmed content, but we do spend a lot of times on progression, which means a lot of wiping with often very little progress. This is how we kill hard bosses and push the content. Is that what you are interested in?
As I mentioned before, I have played for years in a hardcore raiding environment so I am used to the other territories that comes with end game material. I.e. Wiping, flasks, enchants etc.
Can you play at our official raiding times which are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 9pm - 12 server time?
This is the ideal time for me as I work 3 days per week 8am - 6pm GMT, allowing a short break when I get home in preparation for an evening raiding.
Can you log on to the Serenity website to read what is happening and sign up on the raid calendar each week whether you can attend raids or not?
Yes, I am more than happy to do this.
Do you intend to show up for raids prepared, PVE raid specced, repaired, enchanted, gemmed and with a proper set of buffs (food buffs and potions/flasks)?
Of course. I will also brush up on any unfamiliar boss encounters and new content before joining the evening raid.
We are using a Time based, fixed item price DKP system, do you agree with this? (X) YES ( ) NO
(X) I have read the Guild Charter and agree to it: Serenity Guild Charter
Hopefully I'll see you guys soon
