Hello! Alright, let's get this started then. First off, I am terribly sorry if this whole thing looks bad, I am a horrible writer and it just may show itself. Heh!

A little info about me:
Well my name is Jon and I hail from the ever so putrid state of Utah. I have been playing WoW since release (and a little of beta). I originally started on the server Doomhammer, where I had my first 60 paladin somewhere in January. Well that server got way too big and had way too many problems, so I left. A friend of mine from another game (Gemstone IV) talked me into starting here on Dalaran, and here I am today.


Ok, I am sure you are rather bored with my tale, so let us move onto my character.

Name: Amyria
Class: Paladin
Race: Human

Professions: 300 herb/300 hammersmith/300 First Aid
Items of note I can make: Heartseeker, Hammer of the Titans, Masterwork Stormhammer, Darkrune Breastplate, Darkrune Gauntlets, Darkrune Helm, Gloves of the Dawn.

Keys: I currently have Amyria keyed for MC, Onyxia, and BWL. The only place she actually does not have a key for is UBRS.

Talents: 20/0/31. I do desire to switch to more holy, but am holding myself back at this time till I see a preview of 1.9. I am willing to jump on that though, if it is needed.

Guilds: I first started on Dalaran in the guild Elite Knights of Elune, which is headed up by my friend Distina. I left because it is a very small guild and people rarely logged on, and I felt lonely! I later joined Bushido and have been with them since. I absolutely love Bushido and all that they have given to me, but I am at that point where I need to experience the end game content to justify any further payments.

Faction:
Ironforge - Exalted
Stormpike Guard - Honored (9921 in)
Thorium Brotherhood - Honored (1010 in)
Argent Dawn - Revered (7744 in)
Zandalar tribe - Friendly (1623 in)

Equipment: Well I have alot of gear (nothing epic at this time). I have 6 pieces of my lightforge set, missing the breastplate and gauntlets. I have the +20 fire resist enchant on my LF legs and helm. I currently am sitting at 107 fire resist unbuffed.

Ok, that is pretty much Amyria. As you can now see, I have been a paladin for quite some time and I feel that I have the skill to prove it. I have ran many many (many) instance runs, but not a whole lot of MC or Onyxia. My expierence with the raid runs has been limited to Unity runs, but I am able to adapt and listen to any situation.

My time is an open book. I can attend anything at anytime, except the rare emergencies. I can be contacted at Deqtar@gmail.com or through AIM at Draupnir. I do have Teamspeak and Ventrilo, and know how to use each.

And with that, I shall come to an end and hope this will have been sufficient enough to acquire the approval. :)

Thank you

~Jon

I just want to put a pretty serious plug in for Amyria here. I know there have been plenty of people I've had a kind word for, but I'd like to go a little further for Amyria, as I think he is one of the best Pallies I've ever seen in action.

He is *unkillable*. We used to think of him as a permanent soulstone in Bushido, because he basically doesn't die, and if he does, it was only because he had tossed a DI on me. Amyria was almost always my "Pally of choice" on hard 5-man runs, including 5-man Scholo and 5-man Strat.

He is also a very good listener and quick on his feet. To me, what makes a great paladin is adaptabity - being able to recognize what is needed and use all of your skills. Goenitz is a great example - the only guy I've seen who can *both* top the healing charts, and OT a core hound in the same Molten Core run. Amyria may not have Goe's experience, but he has the same kind of instincts - knows when to pickup the Priest with some spot healing or OT a mob that has broken free. He also excels at using all his seals and blessings situationally, instead of just relying on a narrow range.

I would happily volunteer my personal time to run with Amyria and any guild leaders who would like to see him in action. I realize that Paladin is a tough class to get into, and that Amyria will have to qualify under the "exceptional players" provision. But I am so confident that he qualifies, I will come on any run, any time, with any Guild leader to allow Amyria to showcase his abilities.

And no, he didn't pay me to say all that stuff.

Did I mention he rides a battleram? How many humans can do that?

Despite how relatively full we are on pallies, I consented to Winsome's request that we give you very serious consideration Amyria, and I intend for us to.

I would suggest chatting with Lardgibs, myself, and Goenitz -- one of our many superior paladins, who happens to also be an officer -- and start getting to know the crew.

I raided with Amyria so much in Unity. He listens very well and does what hes told without asking.

And I agree with all of what Winsome said about him. :up:

I had the pleasure of having Amyria in our group up until the Domo fight. She played well and I would love to she her enter into the ranks of her uber pallies.

Just making a quick post to let you all know I havent given up on this or anything. I think about it every day, but I am not someone who will hound ya constantly. I will not send a tell while someone is in an instance or BG. I keep having the worst luck when getting ahold of Goenitz (my connection was bad last week, and then power out this week), so I have sent him a PM... I would really like to do a run with him sometime when it is best for him. I am still here and very much still interested. The MC run you allowed me to come along on was wonderful. I really appreciate it and thank you soooo much for that experience.

Don't lose heart, Amyria. We are VERY interested in you, both because of your strong recommendations, and your solid performance in runs to date.

It is possible we'll have a free pallyspot or two tonight for Domo/Rag again. If you'd care to attend, feel free to send me a FORUM PM or IN-GAME MAIL, and if we have room I'll see what I can do. You seemed to do well positioning/comprehension wise there last time.

First I would like to apologize to Amyria for not putting something here sooner. It was an oversite on my part.

I had played, instanced, forum trolled with Amyria several times when I was with Unity. He is a good player and a good person.

A nice example is when he was trying to get his Ram from IF. He posted and asked if anybody had an extra stack of Runecloth or 2 to get his rep up. I would say within a week he had his Ram. So then a few other people wanted to get IF rep up too. Well he was right there sending stack after stack of Runecloth to those people in turn .

As Winsome said, much like Goenitz (the self proclaimed king of all Pallies) he was always able to go from tank to MH without batting an eye.

I highly recomend this applicant.


PS If you want to get a hold of Goenitz just psst him and ask if he wants to go on a tribute run. He spends a lot of time in DM North.
