Character Name:Marilius

Dwarf Paladin (80)

Player Name: Steve

Known Alias: Caveman,Caves,Hawaii, and The White Samoan


Some of you may already be passingly familiar with me, or have at least seen the name before. I have joined in several HoTC Kara runs and a fair number of five man's over the years.

I regretted not seeing parts of the BC content and made it a point to hit Wrath pretty hard. Armory can give details, but I worked up to 80 and managed to eclipse 26k hps and 540 def in the three weeks since release. I understand how both healing and tanking operate for a paladin and have strived to make the most out of what I have.

I started playing on Dalaran about a month after release and have never server transferred or really played on a different realm. I've consistently played with Dack and Chulainn for nearly four years. I met Chu in ZF in the mid 40's and actually raced against him to 60. He beat me by about two days.

My impression is that Paladins are well stocked in HoTC, but that healers are typically welcomed. I also gather that tanks in 25 man groups are covered. The best summation of what I hope for in Heroes is to fill the role of a 10 man tank, a 25 man healer, and to come out of the bullpen for whatever role is needed on a given night. I am eager to see the Dual Spec changes come about, as being able to seamlessly transition from Holy to Prot without seeing a trainer would make life far simpler. Primarily I want to see the content and work through the challenges. I feel that HoTC schedule is in line with my own.

My current guild tag is We Sacrifice Gnomes*, a guild which I formed for a few close friends. I gave up the title of guildmaster to my alt Echko last night in order to clear the path to becoming a member of HoTC.




*Statement of fact, not a suggestion. Not saying you should, only that we do.

Marilius and I have gamed together for going on 4 years. His tenacity and knowledge of game mechanics are legendary. My alts are members of Gnomes and liberally take advantage (and add to) the stockpile of resources we keep there.

Marilius is a strong player, mature and... he can tank heroics infront of 3 apebots without flinching!

I've done kara with Mar on numerous occassions :) Great tank/player, great personality and I believe he would be a great fit to the hotc family :)


please join hotchat if your not already there... (I think you may be?) and chat with Mike (GM) and Mikhael and/or Corb (Pally officers) in-game next time you can catch them :)

Thanks to the apebots...i can no longer watch King Kong without thinking "Add" everytime something attacks Naomi Watts/Fay Wrey. Something comes peeling out of nowhere with a monkey in pursuit...renders images of apebots charging.

heh - I'll be on after 8:30 tonight... and I am as happy as an ape in heroic run to see you tanking! WTB healer!

I remember doing Dire Maul with you, dack, my brother and Brakus - 3 paladins, a warrior and me on Finnion.... I don't think anyone understood "aggro" except that if Finnion got it, the prayers of healing stopped and that could be bad.

Its almost the same with the apes :) - except without the repair bills.

Mar didn't mention - He's a freeking nut for efficiency and squeezing the last dime out of any and all resources. I thought I was pretty tight when it comes to processing white drops.... but this guy doesn't sell it unless its grey. You may think I am joking... Its a force of nature.

Mar is an enchanter/miner and hooked up with Naxx ready tanking and healing gear.

Did a quick run with Mar last night.
Did a great job tanking an instance with 2 way underpowered toons and 2 other toons on bot mode. We handled the place no prob.

One of my biggest issues in 5-mans is people not being able to read/respond to party chat. Marilius was great about reading and responding to part chat. FnF AOK!

I can continue to wax poetic about why Mar belongs with a HotC tag on his head, but that's insider trading... bump for more comments and to keep this thread alive.

Mar is a great guy. No reason to delay his fnf <hotc> tagging any longer.
