Aromanas
Mar 5, 2009, @ 06:09 PM
What’s up guys
First off, I will tell you about myself – Aromanas - or "Aro" which is what most people in game call me. My real name is Sam, I am 19 years old and will be turning 20 in a couple months. Anyhow, I graduated high school in 2007 and my passion is video game and game design. I plan on going to college with hopes of starting a career in that field. I currently live in a suburb-ish town called Westborough, which is right next to Worcester in good old Massachusetts. Yeah go ahead, bash me if you like, but I’m a Patriots, Celtics, Red Sox and Bruins fan and love my Irish background. Although I’m not one of those fighting Irish types I like to keep things peaceful :)
WoW History
I have been playing the game World of Warcraft for around three years now and at least for me, it has never lost any of its lustre. I started out playing with two of my real life friends Joe and Jon and that was fine and dandy until my friend Joe stopped playing at level 25 and hasn’t come back to the game since then. My friend Jon leveled his warlock with my paladin up to about level 50, and then he stopped playing alliance and started playing horde. I was then forced to level by myself and learn how to play the paladin the correct way through trial and error.
The first raiding guild I joined was Midnight Jokers. I was quickly moved through the ranks and made an officer because of my head strong leadership skills. I eventually left Midnight Jokers because the guild master was dating one of the other officers and it basically turned into a duo-dictatorship and I did not wish to be part of a guild like that.
I then joined a guild called Darkmoon. I raided as holy in this guild for about six month (SSC & TK) until I found out one of the main raid leaders was giving one of his alts dkp when he would never actually raid with that toon. Then out of nowhere switches his main to a new toon and transferred all his dkp from his current main and his alt to the new rogue with an automatic 400 dkp and I wasn’t gonna stay in a guild that did something as shady as that.
After that, I joined Darkstorm where I raided with my mage and got to clear all of Mount Hyjal (with the exception of Archimonde) and had BT on farm by the end of TBC. My issue with Darkstorm was that they would play favorites too much and often my good RL friend Jon (who did finally come back to the alliance) and was in Darkstorm with me would never get a raid spot because one of the officers who played the same class did not want competition for gear. It got to the point where we would be raiding 5 nights a week, my friend would sign up for three weeks straight of raids and not even get a spot in any raid because that officer was loot hungry.
This brings me to the guild I recently left, which was Horked. Great group of people for the most part. There was however a lot of drama though and people leaving in the middle of raids, which severely slowed down our raid progression. Well that and the lack of incentive to better the raid as a whole and progress.
I do not want to come off as bashing these guilds. I just want to state the facts about my history and why I have not found a guild yet that I can truly call home. I am really just looking for a guild that I can stick with for the long run and where I can sincerely consider my guildies good friends.
I have cleared in wrath –
25 man Naxx, OS and Vault/ 10 man Naxx, OS, Vault and Maly
What I can bring to you
I am a full time, dedicated raider that will always come prepared, possibly over prepared most of the time. I make sure to always have at least 20 mana, health, and haste potions at all times, as well as two Flasks of Frost Wyrm, 10 symbols of divinity (DI reagents), and 400 Symbols of Kings. Yeah I know its a bit much but I like to have extra just in case someone in the raid runs out, then I have extra and can give them a 100 stack.
Also, I am never late to a raid. If I can’t make it on time which is like 1/100 raids, if that, then I will let an officer know ahead of time so they can replace me or do whatever they feel is best for the raid as a whole. I also am very knowledgeable about the game and have done much research about the game and my class to maximize myself as a player and bring my A game to every single raid or whatever it is I may be doing.
My availability is very open and I have no problem meeting your current raid schedule times.
Toons

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dalaran&n=Aromanas
All epiced out with 10 and 25 man Naxx gear except one trinket that i can't seem to replace
I have a nice PvP Ret set 3/5 Deadly 600+ resil
I have complete Ret set (3/5 valorous, 25 man 2h, very stong gear) and willing to respec and dps for a run if needed
I have a couple nice tanking pieces, but have not really been collecting as other people in Horked were more interested in tank gear and would put it to more use
Eng/BS – I recently rerolled my profession and picked up BS for extra gem sockets! I am working on maxing it
Alts:
Zarynna, 80 Female Draenei Warrior, Fury 18-53-0
Currently prot 8-3-60
WoW armory Link:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dalaran&n=Zarynna
Never raided on her for long, switched to the pally when I got to 80
Fury set is good, all epics except a trinket

I haven’t really been raiding much with her lately since
Enchant/tailoring
Currently levelling an Enhancement Shaman with Lab! Level 51 Female – Talania
Who I know in HotC and who have I grouped with
So far I have only done a few things such as three or four heroics with clent's warrior tanking and Gadi on his hunter. I have done some WG and bg's with Cammy and Kathilla, and yes she told me about her cherry story and I do say, I enjoyed it immensely. I also did a pug 25 man vault with Kathilla on my warrior and then a 10 man vault with people from HotC on my pally. I will also be attending the raid this Sunday with my friend who is also applying to your guild --Labradorian.
Alright now that you guys are now sick of reading what i have wrote I wont take too much more of your time reading my app. To sum up why I want to be in HotC - basically I’m tired of having to leave guilds because I don’t enjoy the leadership or social atmosphere. I want a guild that I can stay with for the long haul and make some great friends in as well as raid some end game content. I know you guys are serious when it comes to raiding and have a tight group of people and that is what exactly what I’m looking for in a guild.
If you guys have any questions feel free to send me a whisper in game (Aromanas) or send me a message on AIM my screen name is Eastsidesk8r45. I am also in hotchat and on the forum/shoutbox. Hope to hear from you guys and thank you for giving me the opportunity to put in an application with Heroes of the Command.
