Kemistree
Nov 28, 2005, @ 07:21 AM
Hi folks. I wanted to come up with something a little more creative than "I would like to join your guild" to open with, but I have spent long enough thinking about how to write this, time to just jump in. Besides, why else would I be posting here.
As mentioned in the Subject, this is a joint application, for both my character and that of my wife. We have been playing WoW together since December 2004. If preferred, she is perfectly capable of writing her own application, however at this time she is with friends in ZG and so I have been given the duties :)
My Main Character
Name: Kemistree (I was quite proud of the combined refence to my class and profession, even though I am a physicist in RL and hate chem)
Class: Druid
Talent Spec: 46 Restoration, 5 Balance
Professions: 300 Alch, 300 Herb, 300 Cooking, 300 First Aid, 248 Fishing (I like professions)
Misc: MC attuned. I have helped numerous others get Onyxxia keyed, but yet to do it myself. Why not just do it all at once you ask? I am naively holding out in case Blizzard realise that teasing us is just not nice and they fast-track the level cap increase. (I hate seeing that quest XP wasted). But always willing to do it if needed.
Equipment: Mixture of WH, Ironfeather and other stuff to build large mana pool, +heals and mana regen
My Alts
Even though I am aware you are full on my alt classes, and I really only hope for Kem to be considered when looking at my application, I wanted to list the others I had, since for the first 8 months or so of WoW I was a complete altaholic.
Luminaria - 60 Paladin (41 Retribution, 10 Defence), 278 Armoursmith
Sabertooth - 60 Hunter (spec not memorised, mostly Marksmanship), 300 Tribal Leatherworker
Daeminutive - 54 Warlock (mostly Demonology)
Altarego - 38 Priest (10 Discipline, 17 Holy), 300 Tailor
Kneecapper - 35 Warrior
Sarahbellum - 24 Mage, 190 or thereabouts Engineer
Main Character of she-who-cannot-be-here-right-now
Name: Jazlyn
Class: Mage
Talent Spec: 29 Arcane, 22 Fire
Professions: 300 Tailor, 300 Enchanter (300 money sink), 300 First Aid
Misc: MC attuned.
Jazlyn has spent quite some time building rep with various factions to enhance her tailoring and enchanting. She is currently Honoured with Timbermaws and TB, Revered with AD, and now has her heart set on Zandalar (we must all have a dream)
Equipment: Majority of Magisters. Focus on mana pool and mana regen rather than +spells at this stage. She can equip a FR of 55 atm, which is very small I know, but something she is working on.
Alts
Shorti - 60 Rogue (combat spec atm, does not raid much with this char at all), 315 Gnomish Engineer
Plus a bunch of lil'uns, Hunter, Priest and Warrior inthe 20's
Ok, that is the character selection screen out of the way :)
RL BIO and such:
We are both "mature" players, I am 33, and I am too much of a gentleman (and have too much respect for my own health) to post the age of a lady :)
We live in Perth, Western Australia (so please type slowly when posting a response), GMT +8. We play very regularly, after work (roughly 5am to 11am WoW server time) and on weekends. I only work 40 weeks a year, and so there are large chunks of time when I play 14 hours a day, if I can get away with it. I may need some of you to lie for me though, and claim I was not online playing WoW but was infact busily completing my assigned chores. :D
We are currently in a small guild of only 8 people (Misfits Incorporated), 5 of whom are Australians with level 60 characters who group together often. We have been raiding heavily over the last 2 months, joining up with some trusted contacts we have met through private channels. When I started looking for advice on how to move up to the next level of play, one of those contacts, Fieryshadow, who's opinion I trust, directed me here. I liked what I read in the pre-application posts, particularly the detail put into explaining the tactics needed to complete sections of MC. It shows organisation and a committment to make sure everyone is doing the best for the group. As you can tell from the length of this application, I am one of those people for whom too much information is never enough. :) I also enjoyed reading through the previous applications, since I think that the type of people accepted and "encouraged to try again later" says a lot about the goals of the guild.
We are both positive group players, happy to do as we are told when required, but also happy to offer advice if we have it. (Although being able to offer advice is ridiculously unlikely at the level at which you play, on lesser raids, if I have seen others do a run better than my current group is doing it, I would rather speak up than have clowns wipe the party.)
We appreciate good humour, adore intelligent humour. We can laugh off a few deaths without any finger pointing or whining, and appreciate others who do the same.
Just to get some nuts & bolts stuff out of the way, having a healer main char, the use of CTRA is a given. I will admit to not having used the decursive keybinding before, I have been relying on my lightning mouse skills, but I will have a play around with it when I go online after this.
I established a TS channel for our regular 5 man guild-groups to use, since I am a huge fan (used it a lot when I played EVE-online a few years back), so we are set up with voice and more than happy to use it.
We are both more than happy to chat ingame or on TS with officers about any further details, or to accompany HotC groups, or any other initiaition proceedures as required. But for now, I am going to leave it at that, as any sane person stopped reading or fell asleep a long time ago :)
