holy paladin application

General information:

Characters name: Necroslayer
Class: Paladin
Race: Human
Level: 70
Started playing WoW: a few months before TBC came out but it seems like forever
Played Time on your char: cant check atm, im at work but somewhere tween 110 and 150 days
Proffesions Primary and Secundary: Blacksmithing and mining (both 375), First aid and cooking also 375… fishing euhrm…. 10’ish somewhere but I usually do the daily cooking quests on the 3 toons to get some golden darters (or I just buy on ah)
Have decided to ditch mining and go for alchemy for the trinket however (extra transmute/day is a small bonus). Was thinking about ditching BS also to take enchanting to enchant rings but haven’t found the heart yet to do the latter because BS was so tedious to lvl and get nice plans for and it seems SWP has some nice BS plans for Healadins.
Having also a lvl 70 rogue (fog), who has herbs/alch max out provides me with the pots/flasks etc for raiding. My other lvl 70 is a warlock (hordocaust) who has enchanting to provide me with mats for new enchants and weapon oils.
This combination seems to work out fine economically and provides my healadin with all consumables he needs.


How stable is your internet connection: very stable, ADSL broadband
Whats you regular FPS rate in a 25 man raid: well, since I invested in a new gaming system, fps is around 60 all the time in raid. When I was kicked by Rigs about a year ago, that was sadly not the case. I used to play on a FSC AmiloM3438 laptop which was fine in 5 mans and playable in 10-mans, my fps dropped to 5-6 fps in 25mans however… It took literally several seconds to look up for A’lar fex or to select another healing target… needless to say… my performance looked like crap and the gkick resulted (and I also healed stonedrunk in conjunction with lag resulted in healing primarily myself and phail ). I also remember a horde raid in SW where I was at 0 fps for over two minutes and being dead when reloaded without even knowing what happened. But all that is old news now.

Raid times and Experience:

We raid from Monday till Friday with different times. How many of these day can you attend. Please clarify them with the day and the time.
Monday 19:30-23:30:
Tuesday 19:30-23:30:
Wednesday19:15-24:00:
Thursday 19:30-23:30:
Friday 19:30-xx:xx:
Occasionally we raid on Sunday from 19:30-23:30

These raidslots in terms of hours are easy enough to meet but tbh I think 4 nights/week are the maximum I can attend although I’ll do more if RL allows it.

Whats your pre-TBC raiding experience?
none really since I hit 70 when TBC was out. Done blackwing lair once
The Burning Crusade experience:
Raid Experience within the following dungeons:
Serpent Shrine Caverns: 6/6
Tempest Keep: 3/4
Mount Hyjal: 4/5, many many wipes on archi, best was 20%. Instead of us killing him, he basically corroded/killed our guild
Black Temple: 3/9
Sunwell Plateau: none
Zul’Aman: 6/6

General questions

From which guilds have you been a member and whats the you are leaving them or left them?
Remember this can checked

KEK (still)/FTW/ Eternals-Sanity/ Fellowship of the Dragons
I’m still in KEK but as you all will know by now there isn’t enough manpower left atm and although I waited and hoped a rebuilding would occur, people continue to drop out so its future looks grim. The several weeks now without raiding are starting to hurt. I’m no guildhopper at all, I like the sense of belonging and to work together but I just want to get back in the game.

Why did you choose too become the class you are currently playing with?

I’ve always been a fan of D&D so I learned the paladin lore for the first time in the baldur’s gate series which stole months away of my life followed by Icewind dales etc. I liked the paladin-mythology as a defender of the weak, the bringer of light and the relentless hunter of the undead to put those nasty’s back where they belong… hence the name for my avatar

What are the biggest advantages you have within this class and what is your role in a raid? Specify this to your specc.

Healing, buffing and cleansing are the main things I bring to the table.
DI’ing and rezzing on wipes come also in handy

Stats unbuffed: Armory is down atm so these my stats as far as I know unbuffed by heart (can be little delta’s)
Health: 8600
Mana: 11000
Attack power (Melee/ranged) n/A
Spell damage/Healing power: 2050
(Spell)Crit: 25%+

Any other stats which are needed in your class. This is also to test your knowledge about your class so make a good choice. (Posting all stats won’t do the thrick or referring too armory).

I try to not to disregard stamina because a dead healer well, doesn’t heal very good but besides that it’s primarily +heal, intellect, mp5 and spellcrit I try to stack in a balanced way.
In case you check my build, I’m respeccing a few points to get imp concentration aura. The one point in precision was just filling to get kings.



What do you think you can add to Eternals?

I saw Rigsby posting a healadin vacancy yesterday in chat so:
A healer to help in raids, who comes in time with consumables and stuff needed. Although your progress is far beyond mine, I usually read tactics on new bosses on bosskillers in advance if I know where the raid will go. I don’t mind wipes or trying new stuff nor do I mind boosting alts helping out wherever I can. Basically drama-less, I’m too old for that.

What do you think Eternals can do for you?

Enabling me to raid again and to see new content. Of course I’ll make stupid nubbish mistakes now and than (like the first time I saw Akama and talked to him wiping the raid ) but in that case please flame me in the funniest possible way.

Some Real life info. Country, RL age, Name, Work, Interest?

My rl name is Marc and I live in Belgium (Gent) and I’m… 34 years old.
I live together with my gf who hates wow. I’m a salesrep for a large IT infrastructure company. Besides work, gf-time, wow I do some windsurfing and I also clean and collect skulls/skeletons of animals

Additional information which you would like too name?

I have all required add-ons I think so basically I’m ready to roll.
Thanks for investigating my application.

Heey Necro,

You have taken a lot of time into your application which is good, it shows dedication and the will to join. I see you have some nice expierence but not as far as we currently raid. I reckon this might be the downside to your application as it is reflected in your gear.

I don't know if we have the time to gear you up for SWP but you do have some MH/BT gear already. I don't know how the badges gear is for holy paladins but i would suggest you have a look at this as your chest/shoulders/head are tier 4 and you still have some other kara stuff in your gear. Also you have the kara trinket equiped on your paladin do you have others aswell, or is this your raiding trinket?

I reckon shiatan will get back to you asap as he is the paladin Classleader, otherwise you will hear from rigsby.

I wish you luck with your application and will maybe welcome you soon in our /g chat.

Hello Korgan

thnx for appreciating my application.
Since armory came back up I just noticed it's showing indeed some gear from some heroic instance.

in raids I currently use pendant of the violet eye (thotbott i28727) and libram of souls redeemed (i28592)
ever since entering TK/SSC i never been very lucky in drops tbh or simply not having the dkp at the right time. there are no badge shoulders or helmet for holy pallies. there is a chest however that favors a lot of crit versus the loss of mp5. maybe I should get that but so far I have been reluctant to give up too much mp5 as I was always trying to balance it.
any advise on this is always welcome ofc

hope to hear more from you guys.

cheers

Whats wrong with t4 Korgan?

Necro, when I saw you applied I was like "NOOOOOOO" but after reading you have owned yur mistakes in the past which shows growth. I will let shiatan commnet but we are probs gunna wait the weekend to see all who applys and pick the best apps. But again will keep you updated.

Rigsby

Rigsby nothing is wrong with tier 4 for SSC/TK but as you know gear gets a itemrating and having some low level isn't bad but i can tell for myself that when i am enhancement specced, my 2 tier 4 and gruul gear isn't doing well for my DPS. This also goes for paladins.

I don't fully know the class but having higher item levels means more armor/stamina/int/crit so you can take more last longer (paladins crit = mana), and therefore are more adjusted for MH/BT and UP. As we all know the first 3 bosses of BT are a lot easier.

i don't know how the MP5 works for paladins but isn't it true if have more crit and more plus healing you can use lower ranking spells and still have the same amount of healing power as when you use a high rank? Which would result in the fact of lower Mana costs with the use of your spells and more Mana regen from your casts as you have a higher amount of crit?

See it for a resto shaman with full tier 4 and equal gear i have 200 MP5 fully buffed. With my current gear i have 300 fully buffed and also a lot off haste and other stats. There i can last a 25 minute fight, while in my tier 4 i had trouble with 10 minute fights as i lacked the amount of stats that i now have.

As i see it he is a good player with his mind and aditude on the right place and therefore wish him the best of luck, i just mentioned that his gear level might be a issue.

Btw you can also get a PVP trinket necroslayer with haste or spell crit or healing which would be a great as the trinket you now have only gives 45 stamina and the arcane resistance is only usefull in SWP.

Dont try to balance it, take mp5 as it comes, but dont take it over any other stat

we'll get back to you on your application necro

p.s
stack crit, mp5 is a lost cause for pallys we cant get enough to make a differance

We've filled the positions for the moment necro but if we lose a pally or none of the trialists work out and you still want a spot will have no problem offering you a trial

hope you do find a place in a good raid guild and continue to enjoy your journey through WoW

thank you for your time

too bad but i understand and respect your reasonings.

thnx for the advise on the crit vs mp5 too. guess ill start regearing/gemming.

GL to all eternals in SWP

cya around on ghostlands (and enjoy summer holidays)

take care
